The Incredible Fantastic Thread Where All Combo Questions Will Be Answered!

[Jukes]

harbrow + atley + crouch + sandi + martin + 15k
vs
thurlow + docherty + murphy + mcevoy + cox


sorry mate, fixed it up

80 + 80 + 70 + 95 + 92 + 3
vs
60 + 65 + 106 + 92 + 93

My math may be a little off as doing it in my head, but think it equals 420 vs 416, so I reckon option 1, just.

Ok, lads, which combo looks stronger?  They're both fairly similar, but would still like to hear your thoughts.

Just Maric vs Stevie J then? SJ will average more, would prefer to dump Cox alltogether and get Maric and SJ who will both average more than Cox easily.

Basically, yeah. 

Whilst you're on fire, have a go at this one.

____

Swan, Ablett, Boyd, Cotchin, Pendlebury

Goldstein, Leuenberger

$33,300

OR

Swan, Ablett, Pendlebury, Redden, Murphy

Maric, Leuenberger

$39,000

So Cotchin, Goldstein, Boyd vs Redden, Murphy, Maric

Cotchin 117, Goldy 91, Boyd 112
vs
Redden 108, Murphy 106, Maric 100

Again, mental maths may be inaccurate
320 vs 314

Would prefer the first option (Cotchin, Goldstein, Boyd)...just.

Cheers.  I was leaning towards option one purely because that midfield looks really strong.

No need for that.  I cheered you for your help before and now you go and ruin it. :(

It looks like both could drop average by 10 points, especially Ablett. But sheep just keep putting them both in because hurr durr they got the most point week last season!!!!11!1

Also, you think I care about cheers/boos? lol just look at my count, if I cared I'd not go on about Stants/Cloke/eagles-hate etc.

Why do you think both could drop by 10 points jukes?

[Jukes]

To quote the *great* *man* Fark,

Both have injury history, ablett overperformed last year and can see him ave 110-115 this year so should drop 100-150k. Swan stsrting to age and has drug rumours circulating + injury past he will probs ave 120. So again could drop 100-150k. Im banking on swan/ablett having a single bad game in the first 5 rounds which will mean round 8/9 i can look to move wines and omeara to premo mids

[Ricochet]

Well Swan went from 120 to 133 last year after having a terrible preseason. All reports are he is flying and having a solid preseason. Plus he is only 29 this year, hardly an age for a massive drop off.
Boyd has kept his average at 115 from 28 through to 30
Even Tuck at 31 increased his average by heaps to 104
Mitchell at 29 increased his average from 100 to 112

This also applies to Ablett. And to add with Ablett, he is playing in a bottom 3 team who will drastically improve this year with most players going into their 3rd year, with older players like Harbrow, Rischi and Bock returning from injury interrupted 2012s, and with added quality depth in Murphy and Broughton. Also Ablett had an injury interrupted year himself.

I think people are just skeptical because noone has ever averaged this high before.
But 2008 the best player averaged 111 and in 2005 it was 101. Who would have thought back then that someone could average 120, let alone 130.
The game is always changing. Don't be surprised if Swan and Ablett actually increase their averages :o

I like option 1 better .. only because i feel S.J is a better upgrade target

Thanks to Adamant for these stats .. this why i think S.J is a better upgrade target .. S.J is a guy you want in your forward line just not early imo.


SJ tends to start the year slowly.

Steve Johnson - First 3 scores in the last 3 years

2010 - 96, 69, 77

2011 - 77, 102, 77

2012 - 68, 101, 60

He usually takes a month or so to really get going. I don't think he's a must to start with, as long as you get him in before round 9 (when Geelong play Port, Gold Coast, GWS in a row).

There good stats, only Stevie J just looks better at F1 than say a Robbo. So flowering annoying.  :P
