Going for a risky backman POD, which one?

[jvalles69]

Sam Butler - 4 round average of 91.75 378K, hasn't he easiest run home

Michael Johnson - 4 round average of 81.25 392K easy run home

Bob Murphy - 4 round average of 82 390K easy run home

Nick Suban - 4 round average of 88.25 354K easy run home

Jed Adcock - 4 round average of 80.75 378K decent run home

Danyle Pearce - 4 round average of 84 363K easy run home

Shaun Burgoyne - 4 round average of 85.75 easy run home

Just a few other options to keep in mind.  I'm leaning towards Suban, Butler or Johnson as a smokie to play out the year in my team.

Surprised that Paul Duffield isn't on that list. I'd take him over all of them personally.

But Bob Murphy/Adcock are the two that stand out for me on that list.

What about Houli?

I figured Duffield is probably in more teams than the rest and his 4 round average is 64.  He's had 1purple patch of 6 games and the rest has been attrocious. 

The reason I picked the above guys is its all i can afford with tradig Clisby out, if I don't go with a risky pick  will instead trade Staker to Ellis.

What about Houli?

Again I thin Houli is in more teams than the above mentioned guys, haven't checked, but I would say so off the top of my head.  Good and consistent though, but not much of a high ceiling.

The mackdaddy of all risks!  :o

Fair enough, but Duffield is the sort of player that will have these patches of massive scoring. Look at his finish to last year, it was massive during the finals. He could well do the same again this year.

He scored 90 on the weekend (although it really should have been 110+ considering he was 68 at HT) and has Melbourne this week who he scored 119 on earlier in the year.

Grant Birchall

Really like him as an option. As long as he isn't the sub (which is a pretty big risk though I reckon). :-\

[clarky245]

I have Johnson in my team and he has been serviceable for me. I also like Adcock out of that group to finish the year off strong

[steve99]

I would go Pearce out of those, 94 + 96 in his last two and had 89 on Melb earlier in the year.
Is also DPP which you never know might be handy if you need to shuffle things around over the next few weeks.

Only useful if you have a Def/Mid in your mid line.

[Ricochet]

I like DPearce as well. Has been pretty good and easy couple of games coming up

I did it this week, want a POD - only in 13k teams, back this week and play on Friday night : therefore will know if he is the Sub or not before game starts, take the risk he doesn't get subbed off early on?

Not necessarily... Say you have multiple mid issues next week for some reason, you have the option to trade a mid and move him if you needed to, like I said unlikely to be relevant but at this time of year you never know....

[Glort]

I like Birchall and I want Birchall but my gut is telling me he could be subbed at 3qtr time after getting to 70........
