2010 Player Discussion

[hibbo]

Here's how it works. You give your thoughts on the player named and then name your player that you want to be discussed. Similar threads have been created on different sites.

I'll start:

J Harbrow?

[Prospector_1]

Not yet seriously on my radar. Believe he had a fair year, could have been a possible trade "in" for me except i kept getting hit with injury problems with what I thought / hoped were keepers or good break-out chances.

Haven't thought about his 2010 season yet - will wait for the Prospectus before I get too serious, though I do already have draft SC and DT teams in the pipeline.

Now, 3 silly (but obvious) ones - M. Lloyd, B. Fevola, B. Hall.

Seriously though, and since you're a Saints man - M. Maguire?

[hibbo]

Maguire - so hard to tell, I havent watched much of our 2's so I don't know how his speed is...I think the one thing stopping him from making the 1's. He can only be closer now that Maxy retired + Raph didn't do his 2010 chances any good with his GF performance.  If he makes the side and plays down back then I wouldn't get him, however if he goes forward then have a look at him, as he will get the 3rd best backmen from each team.

What about Travis Boak?

[Prospector_1]

But will Maguire get a game, or change clubs? Yes, Raph was awful in the GF; I love him and X. when they are "with it", but they can let you down. Gwilt seems to be the replacement whenever they miss, so a combo of Gwilt and Raph served me OK last season (2008), but is now too expensive.

Boak? Worked well enough for many this year - not on my preferred list yet, but was at seasons start for 2009. Just didn't go that way. Boak for me is one to watch the Prospectus for - where is he now compared to last year?

As you see, I rely on the Prospectus a lot - it's been my bible for two years now - I'd like to own a full set going back as many years as possible. Too much good advice to miss out on - not just the players, but the tactics, strategies and so on.

Between that and FF, I feel I'm learning a lot, and improving my game.

Who's next ... Tadgh?

[hibbo]

Tadgh Kennelly? No thanks. Unsure if he's even coming back to AFL.

Mitch Morton of Richmond?

[Torress]

gday thought i'd include myself as this is one of the better discussions i've seen on this site!!

i quite like mitch, he aint a bad player at all - depending on his price maybe?? but i highly doubt i'd consider him, after all he is playin in richmond's forward line 4 starters!!

[Torress]

okay, i got no idea how he is travelling and i don't know wha his price will be but, what do ppl think of jarrod waite for next year??

[Torress]

also if i hear that cotchin has a good preseason im on him depending on his price ofcourse lol!!

[timskul]

ive stayed away from waite coz his knee injury may go into the season, but im not too sure about the length of those injuries. by the way torres ftw

Glad you joined in! There wasn't much action happening on here, so hopefully we can keep this going.

Waite - always thought of him as a SC player and not so good for DT. And you'd think he would have to spend a lot of time up forward with Fevola going (assuming he goes!) which IMO won't help his scores as can't get cheap footy across half-back.

Mark LeCras?

[adelaidecrow]

lecras should be a gun next year...few cheapies in the back line im lookin at next year....waters,polak,buckley,drum.

[nas]

Drum? If he goes to the Cats would he be a regular comparied to any other team? & BTW welcome

[adelaidecrow]

probs not at the cats...are they interested in him?

Ditto, welcome Torress

Waite may miss to round 6 or 8 (?rumour at BigFooty?)

I thought LeCras was great through the mid-season, so depending on price and team structure ...

Others are wary of Drum ... "can't get a regular game at Freo ...", but I'll be keeping an eye out - if the Cats are interested, we need to know why.

Big Bad Bustling?

[hibbo]

Bazza - Big risk for little reward IMO. His price would be tempting though. You have to factor in that he will miss some games through suspension - no way he can go through the season without hitting someone  ;) But in all seriousness I'd give him a miss, he will play out of the square and rely heavily on kicking a bag of goals to get a good score, which I don't think will happen very often as it will be easy for other teams to double or triple team him as there's no other key forward in the Dogs 50.

B Symes?
