Ablett, Fyfe, Pendles and Danger
- Thread starter Prospector
- Start date
Well Fyfe is the only one of the four that I've left out for what it worth. I'm not too worried by the talk of more forward time. Preseason injury a slight concern. History of not playing 22. Highest priced of the four ...
Hard to split the other three. All at a similar price. All solid picks.

Ablett and Pendles.
I have nothing against the other picks, Danger best career season but no reason why he can't repeat it, Fyfe I think will improve on 2015 as insane as that sounds but I don't think he'll get suspended for atleast 2 weeks before the byes so I'm happy to miss him for his holiday and see how he goes with his injury
Pendles can't get worse than an 116 average, he'll go back up into the 120s just look at his previous season averages, first time since 2010 he averaged under 124, and Ablett's done all preseason just missing out on a bit of match practice with a foot injury, but he's got the fitness and Gaz doesn't need match practice, you can pick him confidently to average 130-140. In 2014 if you take our his injury game and the game where Dogs practically used half the midfield to stop him he was averaging ~150 hahaha (which would price him at 800k) [if memory serves me correctly]

hahaha ooops, take out that don't... I think Fyfe will get suspended
interesting one.
GAJ and Fyfe coming back from injuries, so i would have to go with Pendles and Danger, but am a little worried about what output Danger will have at the cats

Why the concern? Geelong needed a contested ball clearance freak thats the role he'll play, if anything I reckon he'll start better than most seasons.

I would argue that Danger is most damaging when someone else wins the ball and gives it to him. At the Crows Scott Thompson played this role.
The Dangerfield + J Selwood combo must have Cats fans salivating. Both players can win their own ball and both can break packs and kick goals.
Back on topic my team atm has Ablett, Pendles & Danger. If I was to only pick two it would probably be Ablett & Pendles.

Been playing around quite a lot with this issue at this point gaz and Pendles are the only two that have consistently been in all of my drafts
I like the idea of sitting on Fyfe until byes just to see how he is fairing for the season just with role and injury concerns

Think blicavs and danger will be an awesome ground level combo, i want to watch them as a spectator
I have Ablett and Fyfe, and I've had Pendles for ages, never really taken him out, but at the moment it's very close for Danger vs Pendles for me
History obviously suggests Pendles, but we don't live in the past and Pendles potentially playing a lot of the game in the back half means Danger could be the better pick

Someone else posted earlier that Pendles tweeted not much will change in his role. Mid time with a few more rests in the forward line
Yeah, there is s 10 minute Q&A posted on Pendles Facebook page:

Not sure if that link will work but Pendles says there: "good preseason for me and it's the 10th in a row that I haven't missed to many sessions, , my role would be much the same I would expect. Maybe some more forward time with less rotations"

This year we seem to have a good amount of decent mid pricers and rookies allowing us to fit them in but it is heavily reliant on the rookies. The only 1 I don't have is Pendles. Not sure I have enough balls to try to fit in the six of them. If you can find a way to fit them all in, it will be 1 hell of a ride.
This is what I'm toying with currently. Outside Dusty and Barlow, I just can't pick any forwards over 400k with any confidence at all that they will be top 10 come end of the year. And because there's not 5 or 6 mid rookies screaming "pick me", it makes it much easier to load up on forward rookies than other years. Its a recipe for disaster but goddamn it's one sexy looking midfield with those 6 locked and loaded.
Aaron hall up fwd? Pricey and sample size of his good scores only small but has mpp mid fwd link and i was impressed with 15 tackles in a nab game. Shows workrate and imagine Gc will be big improver with gaj, prestia, omeara and swallow (eventually) back this season. With him in my team fwd i can then have gaj, pendles, parker, rocky as my four elites which i consider on a par with the fyfe danger one. Especially as it suits my bye structure. Think danger and fyfe after bye for me - danger can be a horrible starter to seasons and makes you sweat till a 175 in about round 6. Its so hard as so many elites coming off injury layoff - parker, fyfe but showing irresistible form early in nab. We wait for the son of god!
