2013 Player Profile: Ben McEvoy

[Adamant]

Absolutely adore this bloke. Just slides under the radar and gets the job done each week.

Is in my team atm but is battling with Sauce for that #1 spot.

Me too, extremely consistent and will hopefully be semi-unique.
Still considering Goldy over him for value though :P

[essendon2]

did another RUC come to Saints??  ???

[tbagrocks]

Didn't they get Tom Hickey from GC?

[Ziplock]

yeah, traded goddards compensation for hickey.

[Adamant]

Yep, Hickey going to the Saints is one of the reasons why I'm 50/50 on him. Will need to see how he goes in NAB before deciding, but Sandi is hard to ignore atm.

[essendon2]

his injuries are such a concern though :( ! what about Jacobs/Goldstein/Roughead?

[tbagrocks]

Played 21 games in 2011, 16 last year, Hickey coming worries me a little but he's still developing yeah? Played 1-2 games?

Who cares when you have 30 trades. As long as you don't stack the rest of your team with injury prone guys, I think he's a risk worth taking.

Jacobs is a very safe option, but I don't think he does enough around the ground to push a 95+ average.

Roughy had a career best season, and I'm not sure how he's going to improve on a 92 average. His DPP is handy though.

Goldy was locked in for me as soon as H-Mac left, but this article has me turned off.

I have also read that Goldy article, but he doesn't mention H-Mac once! Goldy averaged 99 in 2011 without H-Mac, and 87 without him in 2012.
If you take out all of Goldy's injury struck games + H-Mac included games, he averaged 91!! at 407k, jump on board

True, but he averaged like 87 without H-Mac and removing injury affected games. :P

Anyway, I'll see how he looks in the NAB cup. At 407k, he does represent good value... but Norths change of gamestyle doesn't suit him at all.

[tbagrocks]

This is what worries me

Rd 15 v West Coast 55
Rd 22 v Fremantle   24 :P
Final  v West Coast  60

Can't compete against the best ;)

Hickey won't play unless there's an injury.
