No

Shannon Byrnes averaged 80 in 2010 and is very capable of getting 100's every once in a while. An article out yesterday saying he'll be a key part of Geelong's DEF, which is definitely tempting as I think his JS is better than FWD rookie, as there aren't many anyway.

He's currently sitting in my FWD line:
Franklin, Fyfe, Robinson, Martin, Sidebottom, Byrnes, Hampton (Hall, McIntyre)

Listed as  FWD and is only 197k!!!

What are your thoughts on him?

IMO will average: 75

I won't fully rule him out, so I voted for a maybe, but I doubt it.

Mmm maybe. 75 is probably not good enough IMO. Needs to have at least 80.

His like not even $200,000. Worth a punt know that J.B has gone down IMO.

Never consider JB. Windigo I think I have shown you my forward line. You know there's not enough room there.

Fair enough. But that's your team.  :P

Byrnes really is worth a shot. Was on the local news yesterday and he says he has had an injury free run and is ready to go.

But still needs to get a spot back in a very settled side.

Justin Bieber

Geelong has a super team still and free spots are hard to come by. I recon he will struggle to play 15 games.

Mr Fantasy and Dr DT in the NAB cup record are basically sucking his dick and saying he's gonna be Buddy-like average. Not for me, awkward price and I want to stay guns/rooks up forward.

Buddy like average? Are you serious? He may average 80. If he shows something inNAb I got the cash to get him for some rookie.

Yoshi

The word SUB comes to mind with him.

me

won't have menzel or varcoe to compete with at the start of the year? u'd think he's odds on to play?

mezzoculo

I'd prefer Hogan over Boo-urns but will consider both.
If JS is no worry for either then they are in.

Hogan is a mid.
Byrnes is a fwd.
I don't follow...

Not for me either. Too many yucky vests headed his way imo.
