Comparisons

Struggling to make a few decisions around the place particularly:

1. Raines v Petterd

Think both have a pretty big upside, pretty close to same price, 188k and 201k respectively. Not sure which to pick, learning towards Raines because Melbourne are rubbish...

2. Swan v K Cornes

Different in price I think is not really important at this level, just want to pick the best keeper. IMO both are durable (Kane exceptionally so) and both are proven scorers, but with anymore TOG Swans score should increase.

3. Gram v Malceski v Drummond v Adcock

Gram in the midfield, will he score well? Also, is he fit? Heard he is carrying a niggle
Malceski and Drummond both injury risks, but think can both produce good scores if fit. Worth the risk?
Adcock a lot of people are talking about but IMO he is not a proven scorer. He had one decent season and is at a club which will struggle this year.

Thoughts?

Mulled over the Raines/Petterd choice myself. Went for Raines as he is a typical Richmond def..lots of possies and he is a kicker. Plus his NAB cup game was a goody. Also went for Swan over KCornes as Swan fills the points bucket in all the best ways (marks, tackles and kicks). Similar type to Bartel. Cant get passed the KCornes being a tagger from time to time.
Malceski: little worried over injuries, Adcock: agree re not a proven scorer so I went for Houlihan in the end as he was cheaper and they all look like they will average around the same mark (70ish). Had Gram last year and felt the need to trade him quite soon in the season (was getting too many 50's). Drummond has too many injury risks with him. Just my ops!

Cheers.

Think I agree on Raines, wish Petterd was still listed as a forward as I think he should be.

Agree on no.2 in the end.

I'm not sold on Houlihan having any improvement, lots of stat getters already out at the blues. Thinking may take the risk of injury to one of the others
