Motts Movers R13, 2012 – The Forwards

Written by Motts on June 26 2012

Premiums

Dayne Beams ($606,900, 111.55, 101) – Crikey! How well has Beamsy been travelling? Since R4 when he was valued $100k lower than he is now he’s plundered: 106, 98, 137, 109, 80, 175, 121, 137 and 128. That gives him a 140 avg over the last 4. If you’re questioning if he’ll keep up his scoring when Pendles returns,  just know that Pendles has only been out for the last 2 of those scores.

Paul Chapman ($562,600, 105.83, 145) – Missed getting a mention last week because of Geelong’s bye but one round on here he is again after easing out a casual 95. Has kicked at least one goal in every match since R3 and averages over 5 angry tackles a game. Getting tackled by Chappy – now there’s something I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy!

Steele Sidebottom ($572,400, 114, 90) – Does anyone have Beams, Sidey, Pendles, Swan, and Shaw in their SC team? DavePies? If you do you’d probably be needing a physio right about now to help relocate your shoulder after you’ve spent so much time patting yourself on the back. Steele had a 74 three weeks ago but I’m overlooking that because since then he’s gone for 156 and 99. Nice job.

Midpricers

Ryan O’Keefe ($495,500, 89.45, 81) – Why have I held off so long on recommending ROK? Coz BS LOVES him too. If love for ROK was a population, BS would be China. He started the year off really slowly missing the first game and then scoring just 21, 87, 69, 95, 83 and 84. Certainly not up to the level we’ve come to expect from him. Since R8 though he’s smashed out 136, 109, 84, 123 and 93. My concern is that his high scoring has coincided with Goodesy’s absence and Sydney’s other midfielders – Jack, Hannebery, and Kennedy – are really starting to come on. My recommendation: take the hard place over ROK.

Matthew Pavlich ($486,900, 97.58, 78) – Has only gone seriously missing twice this year and despite the fact that he’s averaged 105.5 for the last 4 weeks you can still pick him up this week for only $8k more than his lowest price for the year. Surprisingly (for me anyway) he’s in only 17% of all teams. What’s Freo’s SC Finals run look like? Adelaide (away), Richmond (home), North (away) and then in the all-important final, Melbourne at home. I think I just talked myself into getting him.

Shaun Higgins ($396,700, 76.67, 24) – I can hear your collective groans now. No one wants Shaun Higgins to do well because we all feel so good not having him in our teams. Unfortunately for us all though, over the last 2 weeks he’s managed a 114 and a 99. Console yourself with the knowledge that Nath only has him scheduled to score 76 against Essendon this week.

Dayne Zorko ($392,600, 92.67, -18) – No I didn’t trade him in last week. Yes he scored his 4th ton in 6 games. Yes I’m now sticking pins into the knees of a stocky little Zorko doll hoping for a season ending ACL injury.

Value Picks

Jamie Elliott ($227,800, 67.75, -22) – Should’ve added this guy’s name to the list of Pies players above. Went up an impressive $73k last week after scoring 96 against The Coasters and 106 against GC. The way he’s playing he really looks like keeping his spot so if you’re going to get on board there’s no time like the present.

Jonathon Patton ($196,600, 62.50, -8) – He ain’t cheap for a guy that’s only averaging 62-odd but will play out the year and could really go off against sides that don’t have much of a defence. Hawthorn (R15), you hearing me?

  2. Have Shaw, Pendles, Beams, Swan, Sidebottom and also Elliott in my team. It’s so annoying, I want Collingwood to win so they get the share of the points but saying I want Collingwood to win is so dirty.

  5. Shaun Higgins could be belting out 150’s for 10 weeks in a row, i’d draft him in and then he’d pull a hammy again and score 5.

    Never again Shaun, never!!!!

  6. Haha, thanks for the mention mate. I have Pendles, Swan, Beams, Sidey & Cloke (who I traded in last week for Brandon Ellis).
    Although I don’t need supercoach performances to increase my love of a player from my own club, having D.B in my SC side makes going to the footy each week an absolute treat. Pendles to Sidey to Beams to Swan to Cloke to goals. BANG! +400 in 12 seconds!

  8. Thanks for the updates Motts. Damn the pies..damned if you do, damned if you dont. I got sidebum and Pendles early but i just cant seem to get Beams in due to cash and i dont trust Shaw, Had a choice between bringing in Swan or Selwood last week. Woops went the wrong one of course.
    Damn pies..

  9. LOL – if you had Beams, Sidey, Pendles, Swan, and Shaw in your SC team you’d need a physio just to get them playing from week to week !! Apart from Sidebum, they have all missed (or are about to miss) between 2 to 4 games so far this season, excluding the bye. You’d be absolutely cursing the SC gods of injury if you had them all in your team from the start !!

  11. Loving the ROK write up Mr McMotts…… he is a classic case of missed end of pre-season and first game.. then eased in with the vest, and has been building…. and building and BUILDING and BUILDING….. prob one of my best buys of 2012…. again, it was a gamble at the time, but a gun player is a gun player and will always come good.
