Lance Frankiln....Why cant I pick him?

[CuStArDaRm]

For some reason I just cant pick him, never have!?
I guess its just my general dislike of power fwds in my team but i know he is much more than that coz he can run up the ground so well. Maybe its coz he is up the in the leaders for FA and thats a no no for SC and DT really. And of course his ability to get suspended for solid bumps.
Anyone else have similiar issues with other guns?

I am the same, mainly because he misses too many games. If there was no bye this year I would get him but I want Cyril as I think this will be his breakout year

+1 - Cyril looked really good yesterday, looks to have bulked up a bit and his disposal was accurate too ... i was going to go Franklin for my SC team, but if Cyril keeps this up I'll be switching them ...

he one of the first forward i have picked last 2 year and was 1 of the first forward i picked this year. can be a heart breaker when he does stupid shshowerit but when hes good he greatand can win a game of his own back. i am hoping with age comes a greater maturity and am waiting for him (with fingers crossed)to bag the coleman this year and score me some huge scores. im a glutton for punishment

From what I read and hear Buddy has the fire back in the belly (not burgers and shakes). He's keen as mustard.

lol not kidding i saw buddy at the fish and chip shop last week... so the fire is deffinetely still in the belly!

Just watch those points hanging over his head!

[ELLsendon]

I have him

cant bring myself to pick Goodes, dont know why but always able to find a better option

I've had Buddy from the start of the season the past 2 years, but I just can't do it again.  Although he gets some big scores, he was my second most frustrating player last year, behind Kurt Tippett.

I just can't bring myself to picking actual fwds like brown, jack riewoldt or cloke (n.riewoldt is a bit different because he works so hard up the ground).

Players like that need goals to score well, it's so much safer picking chapmans and didaks...but at the same time, you miss out on some big scores when these players kick a bag. I might get browny after his first bye if he's fit.

I would go RIoli over him only because Rioli will def spend time in the mids

[Alex7089]

I have only started with Buddy once, i learnt and I won't do it again.
I don't like picking players who rely on goals to score, makes a player too inconsistent.

Most people have the same issue although some get them for the big scores, I personally prefer a man who will give me 100+ every week to one who will give me 150+ one week and 50 the next. What if the 150 is an easy win and the 50 is a tough game? I just don't like it.

Delicious will be a better option I think, he should get minutes in the midfield.

I have never not picked Higgins, I seem to have it stuck in my mind that he will break out this season :P
I have never been able to pick Gilbee, don't have a clue why I suppose I always found a better option.

[CuStArDaRm]

Good to know im not the only one ;)
Boomer is one ive had the last 2 years, dont have him at the moment but seems to be off the radar, is reliable to play pretty much every week unless he breaks an arm. And is he gets 5 posis one week he will get 40+ the next week   ;D
Age dosnt bother me think he is an exception to the rule.
