Position 2024: DEFENDER DISCUSSION
- Thread starter KLo30
- Start date
Just scrolling through a few teams and this looks like it'll be very cookie cutter, as some have mentioned it's a little risky because a lot of those players have an ordinary injury history, hence the value I suppose.
I'm also running with Amon in the mids who's a monty to get defence status should he continue with the role that's been earmarked all preseason, hopefully it somewhat exacerbates the risky nature of the picks.

I'm running with the 3 Freo boys to begin with for those exact reasons:
I'm currently leaving Naicos out with the view of bringing him in at round 6. This is either a ridiculous gamble or a Rain Man level of SC brilliance (most likely the former). I really, really hate the Williams pick and I'm just hoping he gives me 5 rounds of OK to good scoring to get me Naicos.
I'm loving the low price defenders this year, so many interesting picks to choose from and I'm sure my rooks will change between now and R0.

I might have to revisit this as one of the reasons for not having Ryan was losing too many players on the rnd 13 bye, Chapman should be gone by then which makes it easier to run with Ryan.
Of course there's Serong and Brayshaw to consider (I have Brayshaw) I had both last year and was happy with the output. Then there's the possibility of Jackson and some are even looking at Fyfe

The two big dogs lead the way. Just love the intercept, and the mark / kick with the switch of play.
Sheezel, well we all know what #35 did last year. If he gets the same role lookout.Young looking at full time mid this year, confident he can move the needle to 100+
Williams, will work his way into the HB line in tandem with Saad. At this price if he is fit he starts. Then the Rooks .
Cannot Squeeze Curtain in at this Stage. But could find his way into the midfield if I like what I see during the trail games.

Reckon like Sinclair he’s an upgrade target for their second half marvel run
Will improve though you’d think with natural progression
90-95 on the cards?
Daicos 120
Sicily Stewart 110-115
Sinclair Ryan 100-110
can raffle that d6 spot amongst a heap of players.
Young as everyone is starting him is probably what we’ll all end up trying to have as our final 6 by the end of the year!

Question mark for me is if the role is going to be the same, Freos defence has evolved a fair bit in the 18 or so months hes hardly played, just concerned he ends up with a bit of a nothing role, can't see how hed be a prime distributor and they have better intercept defenders already cemented in the side.

Was pretty hot on him at the end of last season and early this preseason. Have now cooled significantly on him. It’s just such a tricky price point. You can’t use him as a stepping stone and it’s hard to see him break into that top 6. Reckon he’ll go close though.
And as you mentioned, his fixture isn’t great to start the season. Very similar to Sinclair in that he goes much better at Marvel.
