I honestly think this guy is very cheap for what he is worth....what's your option....
very up and down.. needs a lot of goals to score well, players like that are just too inconsistent. very unlikely at this stage.
$300k for him - not sure if that price would make me want him.
So many people will not look at him simply because he is annoying and has that brat factor, therefore possibly related to Stephen Baker but has much more talent.
Will slip under the radar but can he stay fit? Wasn't it a knee inury two year ago that put the handbrake on his development ???

Broken finger - needed a pin in it. That was why when he made his debut he was fit cos he could do the running work

That's cos he is kicking goals ;)

LOL val ;D
*Fail Roost - Pretty tough to handball a goal ;)
Had him last year and pissed me off a lot as he is very up & down...
Remember he got called back into the team for the 1st final when was stilled injured....and isn't he only 260 about the same as knights...I reakon coack knights must love him....its hard with mayne and walters and pavlich
Zaharakis a much better option in my book. Will probably get more midfield time and is a proven pressure player and good goalkicker. I've got him as my 6th forward and am looking(hoping) for him to increase his average 6-7 points this year.
How much is zara ronl?
had ballantyne this year and he was 90 one week 30 the other far too inconsistent :P

I think we just gave plenty of examples why you shouldnt pick small forwards for DT :)

unless they spend a lot of time in the midfield i.e. cyril :P
The game is bringing about the death of the small forward unless they can tackle (think of Leon Davis in his form slump before he became one of the Pies best forward defensive mechanisms with his pressure off the ball inside 50)

+1 all the flooding doesnt give small forwards enough room to work their magic often, that combined with players doing less fwd 50 bombing, gives less crumbing opportunities. small forwards are now only successful if they can more into the midfield, i.e. rioli, schneider, thomas or if they can also be a leading fwd i.e. lecras, milne
Or niggling, chasing down tackling machines like Balla
