Can't forget Karmeichel Hunt

richmond cant :P

The main thing that will affect his scoring next year will be how much the younger Suns can do in the midfield. If he continues to carry the team on his back he will be up against some very hard tags like the Melbourne game where he scored 64, he'll still have his blinders where you'll want him in your side. If O'Meara, Swallow, Bennell, Prestia, etc can lift their games sufficiently he'll be more consistant and may not have as high a ceiling as in the past.

Add Martin in there too. Suns have an incredible midfield. Or rather will have an absolutely unbeatable midfield in 3-5 years time

giiiiiiantttts :P

Nope. O'Meara, Martin, Prestia, Bennell Lonergan, Ablett (if he's still there), Cannon on the wing, chuck in Hunt... top that :P

[Spanner221]

Salary cap trumps that? Can't really see GCS keeping them all... wonder when hunt/ablett will take a pay cut?

[Mailman the 2nd]

pay rises for all the younger guys will only come along after they cut Hunt

Gold Coast superstar Gary Ablett is poised to remain a key cog in the Suns midfield, says McKenna

Holding off until around round 5. Don't have the money in the budget, so far picking Swan, Beams, Scooter & Rocky before him as my starting premos (if I can afford it). I still may need to cull one more  :-\

[zeddyzed]

My exact midfield powersuperkents...haha

Swan, Ablett, Scooter, Rocky, Beams...sexy as!

[elephants]

Jukes you're one lucky flowerer.

If Ablett wasn't being forced to play through a knee injury in the last month of last season, his average would have been 120+ and you wouldn't have made this thread (in fact, you would have kept very quiet on the matter).

Anyway, while we are digging up old quotes and sniping people based on these opinions from 12 months ago... I'd like to direct everyone's attention to this thread (seeing as I can't quote from it).

"Stanton will average more then Jelwood by years end, and be about equal with Pendles imo. ~118 average."

Negative.

"Selwood to do a Brad Green and choke with the captaincy."

Negative.



Then a customary Jukes chirp in May after 6 rounds of Stants domination (yep, I'll pay that!)

"So...was I right or was I right!"

Negative.



And then nothing after Stants had his customary drop-off. Ahh, Jukesy.

Brent Stanton: 1935 dt
Gary Ablett: 1787 dt

Stanton is having a career best season in terms of DT average.

All he has to do is average 13 points more per game and he'll be where Ablett was 7 years ago

from what 2 extra games.....

cmon you gotta call it that your anti GAJ stance was debunked this year

[Jukes]

1787/22 = 81.227 points per week
2102/22 = 95.545 points per week

So Stants has contributed 14 points per team additional per week, therefore being a more useful contributor to a team. Math.

Except when Ablett went down you would have traded him straight away. Common sense.

Stants presented a much better 2014 package though, 14 ppw. Did Gold Coast get to trade him away after he got injured?
