ballantyne or dangerfield

The F.A.R.K. · February 29, 2012, 01:09:50 AM

one hasnt hit puberty yet one is whiter than my arse but who do i want in my team? Both are playing midfield this year, both are young, both are starting to earn dt respect but who do i jump on??? I was tempted to go both but it would ruin my gun room strategy so if you could pick one which way do you swing ;)

i think you should leave them both out. they will frustrate you with their inconsistency. i am a dockers/ballantyne fan but wouldnt have him in my dt. better options than these guys out there.

But if i had to pick one it would be dangerfield. FT in the mids could be quite reasonable

I would go balla over dangerfield as dangerfield was supposed to break out in both 2010 and 2011 and didn't deliver. Having said that i had bala back in 2010 and he frustrated the hell oit of me but if he plays in the midfield this year he will improve his avg more than dangerfield.

Dangerfield imo. New coach, new role, new untapped scoring potential...

Balla has a new coach and a new role also.

Touche sir! I don't think he can cut it in the middle. I can see Paul Chapman running straight through him in round 1 and back he crawls to the fwd line. Balla surely isn't in Freo's best midfield when Barlow, Mundy and Morabito return... Also not sure Lyon's defensive playing style will help Balla anyway.

Dangermouse imo.

You may be right about balla getting pushed back into the fwd line but i still reckon he will be a better option than dangerfield (not a good option but a better one) as dangerfield sucks people in with some of the things he does on field yet never delivers DT wise. Can't see dangerfield pushing his avg past 85 this year whereas balla might (repeat might).

Yeah Niel Craig never chucked Danger on the ball, always kept him deep forward...
