Nicholson vs Howard.

[TMurphBROWNLOW]

I've seen these two names floating around this website this week... just wondering which one would be the better pick.


which one would have better:
- scoring potential
- job security

[Fenno]

I would say they would have similar scoring potential but Howard has far far better JS

[TMurphBROWNLOW]

what's Nicholson playing as?

Dan also has the potential to be a (super) sub which is a turn off points wise.

howard [christian] defender and nicholson def/mid

pros there's nothing there on these two but yeah that looks like quite a handy site nevertheless!

i think nicholsons two scores came from being a sub. So he has scored well considering. If he had a full game he could pump out a 70+ i think.

im looking at Nicholson for the dpp link, seems to be playing on the middle and did well last week. better scoring potential but i do have js concerns too

[G()D]

yeh but when jamar and tapscot come back into the side it will push nicholson out

[hardnut]

I agree Howard has better JS and if he is your 10th defender only and you have a dpp link then is the better choice. Read that Tapscott is still "a while away" somewhere (I think it was "in The Mix") as I agree he could put the squeeze on but Jamar will have no impact as it would be Gawn who'd be gone  ;).

Remember there are a number of kids getting a run so those who show something will keep their spot

So what you're pointing out are the players to come back into the Melbourne side? Sam Blease, Matthew Warnock, Bate & Pettard, all performing well... throw in the injured players (Jamar, Tapscott, Davey) and it doesn't look too good for Nicholson... I'm weighing up between him & Hibberd this week for Swallow and this swings the pendulum back to Hibberd... Tough week for downgrades.
