Varcoe vs Petterd

[Degsman]

Currently my forwards are:

Cox, Zorko, Rocky, Stevie J, ........., Karnezis (Macaffer, Neade)

Only have $283,300 so it has come down to these two :)

I have read that Petterd is playing of half back as well and i wonder if he will be a better option than varcoe

Just to let you know, i plan on upgrading one of these two to buddy as soon as he is on the bubble after a bad game :) (hopefully that will be early on)

I can't decide myself. I have Petterd in at the moment though

[Degsman]

Petterd did score better in the nab cup :) with scores of 96, 50 and 70 compared to varcoe's 72, 61, 48

[Degsman]

Also, who has better JS?

JS is a really big factor when it comes to forwards

Beau Maister $283000?  :-\

And $300 left over to boot!  ;D

Yeah Varoce has better JS, but Petterd scored better in the NAB Cup and is cheaper.
Tough decision

Is he really a viable option  ??? hehe :P

I am having the same thought and i only really need petterd to play the first 8 rounds or so

Yeah I'm pretty sure he will play. If he's named round one I'd probably put him in

The one worry I have with Petterd is that he is made of glass. In all his years at Melbourne, the one thing that held him back from being a consistent performer was his body

Aka, Beau Wilkes? When did that change? Obviously after AFL prospectus went to print!

[tor01doc]

Beau Maister the artiste previously known as Wilkes has SC averaged over 70 in 3 pre season games.

Just a thought.

Will probably go Varcoe though.

May I ask why varcoe? I am struggling to find reasons why i should pick him

[tor01doc]

Appears to have good JS

Stronger than a rookie but not much more expensive

Lack of forward rookies

Lack of faith in Knights, Byrnes and Maister Wilkes!

[reesbr]

Jake Stringer from the Dogs? Young gun down at the kennel that should play

Fair point :)
Is Petterd's JS that much worse?

Jake Stringer from the Dogs? Young gun down at the kennel that should play

Isn't he injuired?
