Pendles, Beams, Swan too much?

Taking away the byes

Do people think having all 3 is to many collingwood players in your final midfield?

Is there a risk that they will steal points off each other and if that was the case I think it would be Swan who would be affected as Buckley has stated Pendles and Beams are the 2 main mids and Swan will spend more time forward.

Also is Swan a better option than Griffen? Has proven history but is getting on in age and looks to have struggled so far this season, but then again Griffen has only had 1 season as a super premium and with the captaincy pressure plus interrupted preseason may not reach those heights again this year?

No problem. We have all had the Pendles/Swan combination over the past few years and some years beams has been in it to. They will still all average very well and there is no problem having am 3. I will this week  ;D

Don't worry about the boys 'stealing points' off each other... all guns, all score well each week.

Swanny is a bargain at his price, that being said- with the change in the number of interchanges a side can make, Swanny gets less spells on the pine- he is very much a burst player, used to go hell for leather for 3 mins, then spell... it looks like they're using the fwd line to spell him more this year... he started slow but his last 2 weeks have been great.

Griff started slow because of the back injury... came into his own last week with a more Griffen-like game.

You've got another week or two to watch both of these guys to confirm your thoughts as both are bargain basement (unless one of them really explodes)

Depends on how you want to work your bye's. Swans price you cannot ignore for me his price dropped to early for my liking

[kilbluff1985]

i think it's a problem

it means all 3 are less likely to go 130+ at the same time being in the same team

[Keeper27]

i think it's a problem

its not. in 2012 ALL 3 avg'd over 120 over the year.
Beams 123.4, Pendles 124.8, swanny 126.3

in that year all 3 tonned up in 9 games out of a possible 13 games all 3 played together.

good odds there mate.

If you think they'll be top 10 - 12 mids by year's end then go for it.

Add Sidebum in there as well if you think he'll be top dozen.

And were Maxwell a top 12 mids as well, throw him in and have 5 Pies.

you cant make an argument for my bottom line though which you left out lol

it severely decreases the chances of all 3 going 130+ in the same game

[Keeper27]

maybe not 130 but thats not realistic.
how many players from the same team do you normally see go 130??

that's my point 2 at most

that's why it decreases the chance of 3 of your mid premos going 130+


and if Collingwood have a bad game and get dominated 3 of your mid premos will get low scores

[RaisyDaisy]

I don't see an issue with it at all - and I too will be bringing in Swan after his bye

All 3 ton up at the same time regularly

[Keeper27]

All 3 ton up 69.23% time playing together.
I didn't count the games they got close either.
A few 90s here and there

[Keeper27]

They ton 69.23% of the time, all the time

[kilbluff1985]

i'm not talking about getting a ton up i'm talking about the chances of all 3 going 130+ in the same game are very low since they are in the same team

also limits VC options

[upthemaidens]

No its not a problem.
