J Brown's replacement?

[karlos]

Due to Brown's untimely demise, I need to procure a replacement, and I can't decide.
I'm thinking Goodes or O'Keefe at the moment, mainly because the DPP will help my side...but I can't decide between them.

My Forwardline consists of Franklin, N Riewoldt, Zaharakis, Petrie, Knights, Tapscott, Darling, Matera, Richardson.

Thoughts?

Of the 2 you are thinking I would go Goodes.

[Mish]

sylvia or goods, maybe even green.

[MissPiesFF]

I'd go with ROK

[thatguy]

anyone of goodes, ROK or sylvia would be a good option

I never thought of Sylvia. He is younger, has had a higher average over the last 2 years, and even better; his average goes up year by year (ROK & Goodes' are going down).
He expected to play in the MID all year, resting up forward?

Rioli? Its not a huge deal having Buddy and Rioli, you have coverage for the round 6 multi-bye.
It was a mistake not to take Rioli in the first place (I'm the same).
I have Goodes, I know its round 1, but its starting to feel like a mistake. And ROK hasn't consistently impressed for a while.

[karlos]

I'm wary of Rioli. With Hodge coming back into the side, he might not get that much midfeild time, and he doesn't score very well in the forwardline. One of my favourite players to watch, but not a good DTer.
Think I'm aiming for Sylvia - anyone know how he usually fairs against the Hawks?

[Slashers]

Number of games for Sylvia over the past 6 seasons; 16, 15, 16, 18, 17, 15 - seeing a patern there?
Rioli; 22, 19, 19.

Sylvia's not expected to average much more than last year.
He does do very well against his next two opponents though. But he's only played the Hawks twice.

[Armagizmo]

I have Goodes, I know its round 1, but its starting to feel like a mistake.

i've got goodes and i don't mind. he was on 66 at half time last week and had a bad half (admittedly it was an absolutely shocking half, ten points). i'm not panicking on him yet though.

[yorgis]

goodes or rok [ had a blinder in the 2nd half last week]

[LaHug]

Probably wouldn't risk Sylvia in case he misses a few games (as per usual) and you have to burn another trade.
Personally, I'd go ROK over Goodes. Him or Rioli would be a good option. But if you're not keen on Rioli, ROK all the way! (Starting to regret not picking him but couldn't get over him letting me down last year... I think he's back now that his groin is all good)
