seeing as so many did

Both nice, cheap options. Worth it.

McRooster · February 04, 2011, 09:21:03 PM

I have both but what I'm wondering is who will I upgrade first?
I am hoping this is a reallllly tough decision when it comes, it will have meant they are both playing well.

roo boys! · February 04, 2011, 09:36:38 PM

I would like that to happen too ;D

Haha - was thinking all day that I might get both, since I heard on SEN that Krak was outstanding in the Pies' intra-club match - then first chance I got to check back on this thread, everyone's having the same thought! Glad to hear it!

I suppose the question now is: Krak over Kights??

And I'll follow that up with: Callinan over Tapscott?

And: Puopolo over Hooper? (or even over Otten?)

The second (& third) choice in each of these options is more expensive, and (excluding Hooper) either more injury-prone or coming off a serious injury... So I guess the underlying question is:

Do I spend less, get a rookie (mature-age) who are absolutely firing on all cylinders, but with uncertain job-security, or take players who are known AFL quantities, with better job secutiry but have injury problems and cost more money??

I would go with the fitter, cheaper options. So Krakouer over Knights (http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,24954.0.html) and Callinan over Tapscott, don't like injury prone players. I am going against what I have just said for Otten, as I believe he is an exception but again in that topic above he got injured and raises some concerns. Watch this space.

I would have to agree with RB. There is more upside with Krakour over Knights, so I would go with him :)

He's looking to be the steal of this season ATM.

Thanks chaps (RB & Fletch)! Appreciate the advice/input!

No problem mate, anytime :)

Surely Krak over Prestia is a no brainer, surely! Can't wait to watch him play. He's obviously sorted himself out and I wish him all the best

Talisman · February 05, 2011, 10:29:03 PM

In the same team, definitely sjs, but Krak's playing for the reigning premiers and will have to fight hard for a spot, not matter how good he is - Collingwood has a butt-load of quality players!
Gold Coast, on the other hand, are starting from scratch - Prestia's a no. 9 draft pick, with an AFL-ready body, & he's a forward with the ability to rotate through the midfield (which GC don't have an abundance of). Hard to see him not playing a lot of games this year... This was my dilemma - solved now since I have them both & dropped the injury-prone C. Knights!

Fair call Talisman

Luigi197 · February 05, 2011, 10:41:55 PM
