Rioli - yes or no

[tor01doc]

Already have Danger, Dusty and Pav.

99.49% chance to make his BE.

Owned by only 4.65% - so a POD.

Injury risk acknowledged.

Loved by CD as a clean, high impact and goal assisting type.

Should I?

[Ricochet]

I would mate. High risk high reward.

[FonFatty]

Yes.
Barring injury he is in for a SC breakout year, will be in everyone's team by mid season.
He is one player that will benefit from buddy leaving. Get him while he's cheap

[fever]

see no reason not to.

that said, watch his hammy explode as soon as you bring him in

I voted no.

While I think he will be a top 10 forward in terms of average, I also think that he will not score enough points overall as he is very likely to miss games.

Over the past 5 years he has played 19, 19, 16, 20 and 13 games. So that's a whopping 20 games that he has missed over the past 5 years.

Just too risky in my opinion and my preference would be to choose a player without the injury/suspension history.

Any suggestions then Ben?

[nrich102]

Very, very tempting.

One word: HAMSTRING!

Saying that, you never know...

Who are you trading out and how much would you have to spend on the replacement?

[tor01doc]

Walters out.

Will have $503,900.

I could also add Impey out and get Taylor and Rioli?

I would consider Zorko, Parker or Breust.

I started with Zorko myself and although he scored poorly on the weekend I still think he will average around 100 this year as he will spend time in the midfield especially with the injury to Rich.

Parker's averages are trending upwards each year and I am estimating him to average around 100 this year too. Love the way he goes about his footy. He is likely to come into my team this week.

Breust has started like a house on fire and at his current price is great value for a guy who is averaging 116. His scoring history is a bit of a worry though especially with a dip in his averge last year. Can he maintain his great form and end up averaging 100 this year? I'm not so sure so would be more inclined to go with Zorko or Parker.

I am torn between Nosey and Junior.

May go Cyril as I get to watch more mighty Hawks' games.

This is right. If you are torn between two players, go for the team you watch more haha. I go for Collingwood and went with Pendles, Swan and Beams. Swan stuffed me up. But yeah out of Cyril and Nosey, I would go for Parker. But you can't go wrong with either. Well Cyril could tweak his hammy but idk.

Parker for me.

[Dayze]

U know the risks ur taking with Cyril but if ur ok with that then do it.
If I needed a premo forward he would b the one I would go for. So good to watch. Champion data player

[SydneyRox]

Too much risk for mine. Couldnt do it to myself to have Higgins and Cyril in the same forward line at the same time!!

Parker easily ( and biasedly) for me

Even Zorko as well. Will want to watch one more game, but I will be tempted to bring in Buddy as well if he plays well this week.
