SC 2014 Profile: Sam Mitchell

[Vinny]

Fair enough, got all of them bar Mitchell and Gaz but I might still get him.

At least 3 of Mitchell McVeigh Walker and Bartel will finish 100+.
I can also imagine Hanley and simpson should get close.
im not so sure scotty T will improve his average much more.
already averaging huge numbers for a KPD.

I can see what holz is saying in that they don't offer a lot of value and scope for improvement, but i used a lot of trades in the backline last season, and if i could get a set and forget backline it could really free up ur efforts to improve all ur other lines first...
I look at those names above and compare them with my last seasons D2 in Gibbs and i feel far far more comfortable with the old brigade.
All durable, all proven scorers in quality teams with midfield rotations...

Walker could be making a move forward so I don't trust him just yet and jimmy could certainly average 100 but I'm more confident in Mitch and Mcveigh.
Gone are the days of just locking in Goddard and Lids :(

Why do think Walker could make a move forward?  If he does could we see a Scotland revival?...the last bastion of the Goddard/Lids days....weird to see him on the rookie list.

edits:  sry, messed up the quote formatting, fixed.  I was asking quinny why he thinks walker's role could change.

Mick has said he may throw Walker forward or on a wing next year, which wouldn't surprise me, as he'll be hard to match up on.

ahh, pity that, I liked him in the rebounding role. 

If he was pushed forward who do you think would take the running back role?  Would they really push yarren back again?  Or revive Scotland for one last hurrah?

Scotland will get upgraded off the rookie list so he'll get games still. Hard to say, I'd like to see Yaz down back, but Walker could continue playing down back with stints up forward. I'm not sure why Mick would change it, Walker was brilliant this year.
