Herald Sun Team OY - Fisher & Roo

[desertsaint]

Look at the stats -Fisher clearly superior -we all know stats don't tell the full story but these are pretty conclusive:

I guess what those don't show is the defensive spoils, and how quiet they kept their opponent.

I'd say Scarlett would be ahead on that front, followed by Morris and Fisher, who played more loose and even had midfield stints.

Based on stats alone, Max is no chance to even be in the squad.

[Saints Premiers 2008]

there is a possibility that scarlett plays at full back and maxxy plays in a pocket taking the theoretical third tall??? (in the aa team)...or maybe even vice versa as scarlett offers major run against less opponents

sam surely will get a half back role...surely....

[sainter123]

going on last weeks result agianst ess sam got 5 spiols and max got 6 so they were fairly close.

i will try to find the averages for the season.

No chance of Maxy being AA and Hayes (though great all year and a genuine gun) unlikely to be selected.

Roo as Captain is what I believe should be the case for actual AA selection and Fisher is the best quarterback style HBF in the game since Jimmy Clement.

Also honerable mention should go to Goddard who has been sensational the 2nd half of the year and I now rate as an elite AFL player. He is our most damaging player and the last 3 weeks he has been supurb and should nab between 6 to 9 Brownlow votes.

Goddard will be a shoe-in for the AA next year by June if he starts as he has finished this year!

Fisher's stats demand his inclusion - after all the subjective arguing what else is there to fall back on?
