Top 10 Forwards

[honza]

Nice to see Gray on the top of a few lists. Last year after an injury riddled start to his career he showed everyone what he can do. We here in SA have seen glimpses of it inbetween stints in rehab. Hard to see him going backwards, hard to tag because he goes everywhere on the ground. Scarey part is he could get better with consecutive preseasons under his belt .

Gun. but don't see much up side.

1) CD don't scale scores linearly at the top, they preference game breaking plays and heap the points on the game breaker. Too many port players capable of taking the loot. i.e. Gray isn't the roaming pig with nobody to pass to like Rocky in 2014.

2) Knee rehab doesn't mean no pre season. Whole lot of bike work, followed by a highly structured running programme. It takes the full 12 months for the surgeon to sign off on the knee, but you're actually playing after 12 months because of the fitness programme that ran parallel.

The upside is he'll be in the top 4 forwards and he's had alot more than just a knee issue. Consecutive preseasons are gold. He will benefit from that.

His bye round is gold. Certainly don't see him dropping below 105! Maybe only 108 if he does go backwards? So worst case is he's like $15k overpriced, but he's a mile ahead any of the other last bye round forward premiums.

Funny that everyone has Swan bouncing back yet are writing off the 3 month younger Bartel due to age, even after Chris Scott has said the Cats are going to focus more on contested possession this year, and now Jimmy isn't needed in the forwards due to the off season additions.

Of all the forwards available, JB has been the best performed out of everyone in the past 2 seasons.

Yeah Swan is the better pick due to price, but this thread is about the top 10, not top ten value for money and JB is missing on too many lists. He's an absolute gun!

Why do people have Tom Mitchell in their lists? Don't you have to get games to score?

Old as fuark. This will be the year he plummets!

[storeymjs]

Mitchell will get plenty of games this year particularly after the GF where the Swans could't win it out of the middle!!! Have also heard that this is his first full pre-season since starting and he is absolutely tearing it up :)

Why do people have Tom Mitchell in their lists? Don't you have to get games to score?

A lot of people are suggesting McVeigh will take Malceski's role, leaving a spot in the mids for TMitch
