Ask Ziplock Pre-season NAB1

[Justin Bieber]

H Mac? Should I consider him after tonight and last week?

[elephants]

Thanks Zip.

Reasons behind trades.

1 - Hogan is younger and seems to have his position in a better outfit a bit more secure.

2 - Cameron looked super good both back and forward. Hampton is more a small fwd/half fwd flank therefore when GWS get hammered his DT output will severely suffer.

3 - D. Smith looked great and Walsh looked... well looked average DT wise. 28 in a half against the Roos isn't quite what I would expect from my rookies...

I think he always deserved some consideration, based on his price and potential.

certainly lock and load if goldy goes down.

but until then, keep monitoring.

[Ziplock]

pb, it's looking like I picked a decent team for you.

get your shower together. :P

[Ziplock]

k, am starting uni tomorrow. It's a 1.5 hr commute each way from mine, and since I'm doing science I have 5 days a week and 20 contact hours, so I dunno how I'm going to keep on top of my dting :(

[PowerBug]

dw about it. The DT stuff. :)

[Ziplock]

k, ya'll have half hour before sleep time  for me :P

[Ziplock]

since uni is finished for the week, this is open again if anyone is interested.

[Cicjose]

if you had to pick any bombers players who are not Stanton, Watson or Zaharakis you would pick.......

[Ziplock]

Dell'Olio, if he gets promoted.

otherwise... ryder? shower, not much choice :P

[Jukes]

Zip, Cloke and Morris or Pfeiffer and Deledio/Suckling?

[Ziplock]

pfeiffer and lids. Cloke, while being a beast, is a kpf, and if dawes fires he scores poorly. I don't feel like he has it in him for that 100+ ceiling either. I expect a 1-3 point average drop this year.

pfeiffer will outscore morris and probably has better JS, lids will outscore cloke by my estimate as well.

To start with Swan or to upgrade to him?

Thoughts on Dangerfield and Porps and Tom T. Lynch?

Thoughts on Luke Parker and starting with Goodes or looking to him as an upgrade?

Thanks mate.

I'm going to say start with swan, unless you really need the cash and see some insane value in someone that you otherwise couldn't get. Fact is, he never performs in NAB cup, but is far ahead of all other people in DT points.

I like dangerfield, but I've never been burnt by him. He is scoring well in NAB cup and is entering break out age, he definitely needs consideration given his draw. Similar situation for porps, but he comes with such a hefty discount as well. As for lynch... he had a masssive half, and is discounted due to him being subbed. However, he was being subbed off, not subbed on last year, indicitive of underperforming and keep in mind he got 58 of his 70 points from scoring shots- unless you see him kicking 4-5 goals per match, probably be wary. Before today his points per 100 minutes was only 70. That being said, high draft picks (taken at 13 in 08) often bolt from nowhere. I would like to see a full game before I pick him.

Adelaide are shooting for the NAB finals right?

Parkers kind of similar to lynch, yeah he scored 84 today, but hasn't really been impressive in his other NAB cup outings. He could also be in there with a shot, but atm I'm still not seeing it.

I'm staunchly going for the upgrade to goodes option this year. I can't see him defying his history- against his first half opponents, or his slow starts.
