Suckling overrated?

[braoudakis]

I've been convinced all season my end of season back line would have Matt Suckling in it but having looked at his scores he really isn't that good often getting between 60-80

Current Def: Simpson, McVeigh, Swallow, Kelly, Burgoyne, Suckling

With just 10k in the bank would C.Cameron > S.Kersten and then Suckling > Hibbered be good trades?

[Ricochet]

Hibberd will probably miss this week mate. Good idea to upgrade Suckling but I would look elsewhere

[Jroo]

He's getting tagged every second week, because he's so damaging.
If you don't have any problems elsewhere, probably a good idea to move him on.

Ankle knock. Bomber said he's likely to miss after the game Saturday night.

Also, I think Suckling is the sorta guy that everyone has - if he does shower then everyone else is in the same boat BUT if you trade him out and he goes big as he can do then you get left behind. Better off patching up other areas.

He doesnt look like he'll be top 6. But he also doesnt look like he needs to go imminently.

-suckling +s.mitchell will no doubt be very popular in due course

you know he's ranked 16th for defs in terms of averages right? (minimum 3 games)
however, he has one third of his scores under 80 this year
I don't think he's not much worse than the "premos" like Simpson right now

[The_Captain]

Average of 85 as a backman isnt too bad. Considering best premos at low 90s. Wont hurt keeping him at d6 all year. Just have to ride the good with the bad but. 110 one week. 60 the next..

[Driblekick]

Ive had him all year, he has his good games and then average games. I will probably upgrade him but he will be one of my last depending on form and who the Hawks play.

I've got Suckling and Birchall all year and they both are averaging 85, sometimes its annoying when they don't do much, but at the same time the premo's put up occasional stinkers...they will both be eventually moved prob to Simpson and Mitchell for me, but don't need to move them just yet.
