Cloke or Sidebottom?

[danger]

Really don;t want them both.. Who is gonna be best value?

[Grannyboy]

Easy, neither. Not sure if either will be top 7-8 forwards, cloke maybe sidebum no. But they're both too expensive imo.

[danger]

Then who?

Already have Buddy, ROK and Fyfe locked.

[Grannyboy]

You'll need to take rhino out he's injured for about 6 weeks, so I guess that leaves 2 spots. Martin, Goodes, Pav are 3 you can't go wrong with.

I think Lewis and Cyril should go ok this year too and not many will have 'em.

+1. Also keep an eye on Gia's run over the next fortnight if you want a POD.

Don't write sidebottom off so easily. Last year he played every game at an avg of 86.7 and finished 12th fwd overall. This year he will probably boost his avg to about 95 which should see him very close to the top 7-8.

[Grannyboy]

Yeah he could but i don't like picking up 2nd n 3rd tier type players that have to compete with the likes of Swan, Pendles, Ball and Daisy all of whom will get more ball than sidebum imo.

Another stat I want to add is that last year, he finished just below buddy (1932 vs 1907) for overall points and above pavlich (1885). So does that mean we shouldn't pick up pavlich since he's overpriced?

No-one will stop Cloke, Sidey presents DPP and more upside in price now he has a midfield role, Sidey for me ;-)

[ubeaut]

 Sidebum for me. Cloke has only kicked straight for about two seasons out of eight. Before that he was a fantasy joke. I don't trust him. Steele is cheaper and I predict about the same average as Cloke if not better.

[Capper]

Then who?

Goodes, Chappy, Stevie J, Martin, etc

[TMurphBROWNLOW]

midfielder over KPP anyday anyway!

[azza707]

just my opinion, but i don't see sidey improving much at all, think he will plateau for this season. nothing in the collingwood midfield has changed whatsoever, and he played pretty midfield, with a few tiny stints up front last year, so where are these extra 10 points a game going to come from is whats playing on my mind.
