Birchall or Suckling? Personally prefer Birchall but just wondering what you guys think?

I had Suckling last year, but I like the look of Birchall, so I've gone for him.

I think Birch is more consistent but suckers has a higher ceiling

Yeah birchall is who I prefer. Suckling will be tagged a lot more.

birchall is mr consistent and will pump out 90+ scores every week with the occaisional big one
suckling is a bit of a rollercoaster and has his amazing 140 games but can go missing and get 50 odd

Locked in Birchall. Looking delicious!

Thanks guys ;) Agree with most of you...

Most of us? We all said Birchall haha

Suckling.

I would way prefer a player who broke out last year in his third season, rather than someone who's given us close to a decade of mediocre scores, and only went to quasi premium last season.

Suckling.

David King on radio tonight talked about having watched intensely EVERY Melbourne based team train in the pre season. When probed for what he could tether a common theme to team structure and training he said unequivocally 'a short kicking defensive game, that retained possession moving forward, not back, with high long entries into to the forward line'. This described a model personified by Clarkson, the precise lace out kicking of Suckling and deep penetration.
The high entry into fwd areas seemed to allow greater fwd press to maintain offensive advantage. This is further to the reason why they recruited David Hale and why the Hawks (a step ahead in this model) will enter 2012 with a gameplay advantage and utilizing the sublime foots kills of Suckling 8)

Gotta be Suckling, for reasons already given

A little worried that Birchall could be another Hargrave.... I had Birchall last year which was great however not sure if he'll back it up. Just that feeling.

Justin Bieber · February 04, 2012, 01:51:48 PM

Should of done a poll...

elephants · February 04, 2012, 09:50:12 PM

Suckling last year but I'd pick Birchall this year.

Birchall, He'll run off Half-Back and pick up heaps of Possesions.
