I've had both at stages atm i have Smith and Z Williams, I'm leaning Smith at this stage
Weirdly I think that's actually a positive move, he's not a midfielder.
Considering he scored so many pts from the half back position in 2014, not sure why the worry.
Want to see how Rich goes today. Struggles against the tag. Have bot at the moment but Rich may turn in to Harwood if he can beat Lester and Cutler for a spot in the lions best 22
"So many points". He averaged 93 in 2014 didn't he? Adequate for a back line premium but not that great. Was a popular pick at the start of 2015 as a move to the midfield was on the cards and people were hopeful that he'd improve from the 93 average. Sure 93av would be a bit of a win from a price of 415K but if 93 is the high end of expectations he doesn't seem like that great a pick.
If you decide to take Rich you'll have to take him on trust because the way teams tag in the NAB is not the way they tag once the season proper starts. NAB games 2 and 3 are a useful guide for rookies ... use it for you primo selections at your peril ...
Not that i have him atm, but if he can average 95+ there wouldn't be to many better.
Ok maybe not so many pts but still adequate for a backline player. Would it be great if he had some time in the Mids, absolutely, but looks like that may not eventuate. With backs always so hard to get right, 93 avg seems great to me. Hoping he can push the avg to 95-100 this season.
As always the backline is where we want stability more than anything. Anyone i have averaging 95+ in my backline will be staying.
Sure. I'm not arguing that you shouldn't be happy with a 95 avg (or a 93 avg for that matter). What I was saying that as he looks like he'll be playing out of the back line maybe 93 is the top end of what you can expect ... you can hope for a 95-100 average but I can't see where the extra points are going to come from ...
I'm siding with you on this one Cactus. He's in my side at the moment but only because I think he will more or less average what the 480k-500k defenders will. He's by no means safe in my side, his role still concerns me with Jaensch, Seedsman and Henderson all having similar gigs. I'm not convinced at all.
