Battle of the mid priced forwards

[quinny88]

Dont plan on keeping any of them but with the lack of forward rookies around I just need players that will play and make some quick cash to upgrade to a fallen prem.

Josh J kennedy - Gun forward that had a terribly injury interrupted 2012. Averaged 86.8 in his breakout season in 2011
Travis Varcoe - Only played the 1 game in 2012 due to injury but his class and pace is needed at Geelong. Averaged 82.6 in 2010
Shannon Byrnes - Finally changed to a club where he should get plenty of opportunities playing mid/fwd. Averaged 84.3 in 2009
Marc LeCras - Missed the entire 2012 season through injury. Gun forward full of class averaged mid 80's the past 3 seasons
Angus Monfries - New club. Fresh start and the opportunity for more Mid time. Averaged 83.3 in 2011
Arryn Siposs - Tipped to play Goddards role across half back. Potential breakout?
Chris Knights - Injury plagued since 2007 has moved clubs and has a role as a high half fwd/mid. Averaged 90.6 back in 2007
Patrick Karnezis - Wasnt on anyones radar until he has put on a great nab cup campaign playing a midfield role. Potential breakout

I think Monfries will be a big part of the Port team and he was close to scoring well for the Bombers, he will score well enough to be top 8 forwards I believe

You think Monfries will finish the season in the top 8 forwards?  :o

go to bed TBAG you're drunk

[tbagrocks]

Ok but I tried to tell you!

[Sabretooth Tigers]

OOOOps
Monfries and Karnezis, can't see top 8 for either but they're pretty good scoring and moneymaking options.
Just out of curiousity, have you got Monfries in TBAG ?? ::)

[Ricochet]

Top 8 fwds will have to be 105+ this year

Hey Quinny ...the round 3 bubble will have significant impact this year on the forward lines..not just for rookies.. ;D

[Knowall]

Been out of the country but can anyone tell me how Knights has been going this preseason?  Is he going to make the 21, and what role is he looking to play.

[colmullet]

currently looking at taking 3 of these guys with a set and forget ruck

[tigertops]

what about petterd.
seems hardwick likes him playing a HBF role, and looks as though he might get elevated....

hasnt had much pre season game time so its hard to get an idea of where he is at. Not a certainty for round 1 at this stage

Yeah if he gets elevated and is named rd 1 then i will certainly consider. been playing a very sc friendly role throughout the nab cup but i do feel as though he will only ever be 1 quiet game away from getting dropped to coburg for a couple of weeks

Monfries 90+, maybe not top 8 :-\  but a stepping stone as any mid pricer is

Knights? Is he going to be playing the first few? ???

Varcoe is off my radar because he seems to being switched forward at times

Yeah you must have had a few drinks last night to claim monfries will be a top 8 fwd haha.
Knights is a 50/50 to play round 1 i would say. I expect that Richmond will field their round 1 side this weekend against the bulldogs so it will be interesting to see if he is out there
