No mention of E.Wood at 215k, also saves you a 100k so doesnt need the highest average to make some coin.

Wood will average about 50-55. The most games he's ever played in a season is 15 and also got his highest average of 56.9... I'm pretty sure Suckling can average more than 20 points more than that, which is about what the 100k would be worth. So effectively if suckers averages >70-75 he's a better pick than Wood.

Ignoring his injury game last year Wood averaged about 51 from 4 games... 2010 av 52.5 from 9 games, 2011 56.9 from 15 games, 2012 av 56.4 from 14 games. Suckers wins that easily imo.

Have to agree mate, it's like comparing apples and dentists. Woods a very good footballer, but fantasy wise Suckers has a much higher ceiling, if he stays on the park(fingers and toes crossed lol) 100k is a fair bit of cash i'll admit, but think he's still a better option

How's Sam Darley tracking at the Bulldogs?
Do any Doggies supporters have any inside info/evaluations on him.
Is there a spot for him in their best 22?

Not a Dogs supporter but...

Darley's competing for the same spot(s) as Murphy, Picken, Goodes, Wood, Johannisen, Fuller, Pearce, Howard

Considering Murphy, Picken, Goodes are all best 22, with Wood and Johannisen not far behind, I don't like Darley's chances too much, at least not until Bob and Goodes move on.

Think that's a silly decision mate, but totally upto you. I would love Hodge even in place of Simpson, but I can't fit three Hawks.
Mitchell and Suckling are the two definite locks and should be in everybody's defence.

could still have suckers yet ... but clearly hodge will score more than suckling im happy with my other positions and i am starting 4 premo defenders n swallow ... suckling will not get too hodges price .... this was only made possible due to me bringing daisy thomas back into the mids as didnt have him before tonight .... who will score more daisy vs suckling???? daisy

He meant Suckers and Daisy, Agree with you also..i dropped Suckling. You are spot on about who is better value..i like the midfield mid price players far more than the fwd/back line mid priced players this year, I'll take a Daisy or Savage over Suckling or Caddy, people just can't get their head around using Midfield spots for anyone other than Premiums & Rookies.
As Darwin's theory on evolution proves, it is not the strongest or the fastest or the smartest creatures which survive but those who can adapt the quickest.

I saw footage of Suckling kicking last game.

Lock!

what are your thoughts on Ben Griffiths from the tiges????
decent NAB, 80K cheaper, and i think will have similar output.
Suckers will go 85 max. RShaw similar. BG wont be to far behind, 75-80, make you some decent coin and upgrade.

Considering the Hawks don't have many big scorers (although a lot around the 90-100 mark), I can see Suckers pushing for a 90 average. Great kick, and disposal efficiency is SC gold. Plus with the Hawks winning most of their games (pretty safe to assume this), his scores won't be affected by being in a losing side (not saying this will happen to Shaw btw, just a general statement).

Lock in my opinion. Have Mitchell Birchall Suckling and Langford down back :o
