What about Clifton?

ubeaut · July 13, 2012, 03:08:51 PM

Surprised I've seen nothing about his being named last night. Surely he is a safer bet than McIntyre or Couch? Will probably give him at least 1 game to see how he goes at this level, but with JMac and the kids getting tired, and Sheedy keen to keep players fresh and blood 4 more players, surely he has to be on people's radars.

I think Clifton is a fantastic option. Should play out the year and be a perfect bench keeper. Although I think his price tag is the reason he hasn't been mentioned as much since at this stage of the year it's all about cash generation. But I would pick him up over the likes of Couch and McIntyre for sure if money wasn't an objective

He is off the popular radar for 2 reasons. 1) He costs a little extra for a player that people don't intend on having in their scoring 22, but if injuries continue as they have it could be a fruitful extra 20 or 30K investment. 2) He is non DPP.

My guess Clifton plays, and we won't see McDonald for awhile. I think a lot of people want that MPP because they already have gibson in the mids.

I might consider him for Gibson in a couple of weeks if i have luxury trades left. If McDonald is out for a while who will do the tagging? Bring back Townsend! sitting on the bench doing nothing. is he still injured?

I have Townsend too, he copped a fractured jaw 4 or 5 weeks ago so he may become available in the next 2 or 3 weeks, I hope so, you can never have enough cover these days!

I like him as an option. GWS need a bigger body to try help them run out the rest of the year. Of course the DPP option is what many are after on the bench. Next couple of games could be vital with Couch, I think he could still be a solid downgrade option, giving you max money and DPP. Interesting couple of weeks for rookies!
