Who to Start?

[wardie]

Only going to be missing CHAPPY this week due to the bye from geelong.

Can replace him with either MZUNGU (Vs North @ ES) or YARRAN (Vs Hawthorn @ ES)

Thinking that MZUNGU V north will get more of the footy as hawks will most likley play a defensive forward on YARRAN.

I am guessing a few others will be in the boat with CHAPPY/SELWOOD this week also.

Tough decision this.  Hawks don't generally place a hard tag on a back, so maybe wouldn't be a bad idea to back Yarran.  Mzungu & Yarran could potentially score similar numbers, though I would be inclined to back Yaz who has been in good form.

Here are some numbers against the Hawks

S.Fisher   156
H.Shaw   105
L.Davis   106
R.Murphy   107
M.Scarlett   107
S.Hill   106 <--- this is pretty telling, they don't hard tag

I'm with Charlie, Hawks rarely put on the kind of tag that affects Yarran.  The only way he won't score is if his fwd opponent gets alot of it and worries him to focus more on keeping him quiet.  Mzungu was pretty good again last week so I think he is good for around 80 or more.

Sounds strange but if your opponent is tough this week, go Yarran for the chance of a bigger score.  If you feel you have him covered, I think Mzungu is good for a safe 80+

Muzungu versus Nth Melb the better option and i reckon he's in better form tbh.
Yarran had a 139 a couple back which makes it hard to look over but V the Hawks
will he sniff that or not. Goodluck not a bad problem to have.

Yarran might get the gig on Rioli, who else have they got to go with Junior boy?

[coolfugitiv0]

Definitely Mzungu!

What about this one?
JRoo v I.Smith.

JRoo is looking pretty good, only got 2 goals last game but still managed a 97, and a 94 against West Coast the game before that.
But Smith... 3 round average of 101, (even if it was against Freo, North and Port).

Leaning towards Krak - home and vs terrible team.

[PICCOLLO]

Mzungu on current form.

maybe AJ.

Tough one! JRoo for me though

[juzztheball]

who should i be starting?? normally i would go for smith + mzungu, but with krakour playing port adelaide...

[juzztheball]

wait, i mean coll are playing brisbane.. sorry!

a forth option could be luke dahlhaus (v port adelaide)

thoughts people??

[tor01doc]

A similar poll - Mzungu v Krak v Heppell was voted by our esteemed Fanfooty addicts as 5 - 1 - 0.

Hope that helps

maybe AJ.

+1, even if they go with the YARRAN on RIOLI matchup i don't see that impacting YARRAN too much as RIOLI will not be looking for him on the way out of defensive 50 he is too attacking.

Interesting one also is POO Vs HEPPELL, with Essendon playing West coast @ PS then i cant see HEPPELL pulling big numbers. POO has been good of late and could slide under the radar of the Blues and kick a couple of important goals.

[ossie85]

You're right, that is a tough one....

But I think I'll back Heppell to light up the show over in the West.
