I’m going to go with a bit of a POD and choose JP Kennedy against Gold Coast.
This better pay off

Because the list ends up a mile long and week in week out people pick GAJ. 109 for Beams last week …. hmmmm, hope you didn’t pick his as C?

Ablett’s record speaks for itself against the Swans, but I was just looking at how teams have scored against Sydney.

The below is the round-by-round hundreds that the Swans have given up:
4 (126-107-104-103)
2 (140-102)
5 (115-110-108-106-105)
1 (112)
1 (108)
5 (125-122-122-119-101) – Adelaide won
8 (134-119-116-111-111-109-108-100) – Richmond won
3 (150-110-104)
7 (143-130-115-115-112-105-103) – St Kilda won
0
3 (149-114-110)
BYE
2 (123-101)
2 (106-104)
3 (121-119-111)
3 (128-114-105)
3 (108-104-103)

I think that it is pretty safe to assume that the Swans will beat them, and beat them well, so I am going to exclude the scores in their three losses. This leaves the following averages:

100s conceded per game: 2.5
Average score of those 100s: 113

In the last seven games especially, they have only given up one massive score. It’s making me lean away from Gary a little this week…

Love it when someone goes to the effort for the benefit of everyone and presents a very unemotional and rational piece of work…
Great work DC!

With Swanny having a healthy playing away average of around 125 in SC, playing against GWS…..this could get ugly….he could actually break the SC record this week-end!

Have the week-end off Gazza, rest for the SC finals coming up you GUN!

I have no idea how Dane Swan won’t rack up 50+ possies and smash out a massive score.

Beams.

Simple as that. If i had Swan i’d be weighing up between the two of them.

I’ve got both and will be going with Beams. Just think that Swan (and a few of the other league guns) have the potential to be a bit disinterested and get lazy in these training drill games.

Beams still has to fight for his spot in the midfield a bit more and will be going full throttle. Big chance of a bag of 6+ too.

The Pies are way off the mark from the teams around them on the ladder on the % front ads10

I think they will want to emulate the Hawks of a few weeks back & smash the GWS by 20 plus goals! Although the Hawks did have around 25 scoring shots, after Franklin went off in the 3rd 1/4 of that game!

yea fair call catta…i hadnt taken much notice of the % on the ladder.
just thought out of their prime movers he could be due a little rest and after havign a hip complaint a few wkds ago could take it easy on him.

all guess work really

I’m going a long shot with big cloke. Huge risk but may pay off. He should kick a bag full.

The oddity with SC Scoring is that in the last half of the Coll v GWS they will get very little per possie, if they are already 20 goals up ! To score effectively in the last half they have to be kicking goals,Buddy kicked four in the first half of the GWS game and came off with his score somewhere in the low 90′s and finished with the game with 109 ! Roughy kicks 6 in the same game and only scores marginally more 126.Considering that they need to get Trav’s confidence up, he could very easily have 6-7 goals up to half time and take the share of the 3300 points up for grabs.Huge Gamble for some one to take but i can see 180+ coming Trav’s way this week.

This may be totally left field, but do you think that now is a good time to bring Trav Cloke in? I am thinking about bringing him in for Devon Smith
T/U Go for it
T/D Don’t do it

BE 138. If he doesn’t have a big score this week his price will drop. I don’t think he will drop 35k, infact I think his price will go up a little. This week will be a big confidence booster for him. If they were not playing GWS I would wait a week they are and Trav will kick a heap
If you get him in put the C on him

But should I get him? He will definitely be C if I do

My opinion is yes. I don’t think his price will drop any more than what it is now not that price drops really matter at this point. The pies need to get a % booster. They will go hard at GWS and I think Trav will be a big part of it.
If he plays a good game and kicks a heap, I think it will set him up for some good form in the run home.

I might just risk it, bring him in, make him Captain and pray that the Pies destroy GWS, and Cloke kicks a heap, which will give him some confidence for the rest of the season

Must win game against a tough opponent this week. Unsure whether to stick with Ablett or to try my luck with Pendles to give myself the edge in the game.
T/U: Ablett
T/D: Pendles
