I'm not sold on JJ as yet, i'm concerned that he will be shut down soon. Will be watching this week against the Hawks before i make a decision on him.
Rd 3 trades
- Thread starter Thunderstruck
- Start date
I would be waiting for Zorko to drop before jumping on. He dropped to as low as 406K last year. Not saying that will happen this year, but a couple of couple of low scores and you will be able to get him a lot cheaper at some stage.
I'm not going Zorko myself at the price but I can see the argument for going Zorko early. Beams out. Rocky with a niggle and underdone. Other Brissy mids under clouds for one reason and another. All this means Zorko is likely to get plenty of mid time and start strong. Might drop off a bit later if the other mids get back and get going and Zork pushes forward a bit more. I don't see Zorko as a big bargain but he looks a solid option and if you buy the theory he might start stronger than he finishes you'd get him now or maybe not at all.
All the reasons you gave to pick him os jist another reason to be cautious i think. As you said with so many mids out just means more pressure on him.
True. But they're getting spanked because he's not in the guts. I'd expect to see him restored to the midfield pretty promptly.
Is this a running joke now rather than the like button? I distinctly remember you pulling someone up for this last week.
He is shaping up to be one of the biggest ground specialists (Docklands) in the AFL.
Can't even think of someone that could challenge him, one of the Hawks boys in Tassie? One of the Cats at Kardinia?
I concur... We've seen it before with Birchall, Houli and every other outside running half back. If they're that good and making such a big difference to their team then they get shut down. JJ's true test will come from now on as he learns to cope with a tag or at least a defensive minded forward.

R3 is rookie correction week for me
Only missing Papley and Adams.
Trading
Harwood to Adams
Simpkin to Papley
Rocky - hold. Kennedy cover.
Robinson - hold. Paply cover
Barlow will come good - hold
Every other crap premo - hold, they will come good.
Last years SC winner had 2 trades left in the last round to win (i read his blurb somewhere). Cant afford to sideways trade now.
Just my 2c

My recollections are that the Zork is one of those few players that gets better fantasy scores by playing forward. I'll wait for the replies to see the stats
At the beginning of the week i traded out barlow for z.merret and rich for jj. Now i am having doubts. I have most of the rookies except papley.
I rate merret this year as he is getting the pill heaps even when the team is down.
Thoughts? am i getting into sideways action doing premo correction or is papley the most important trade this week?

Seems to have played well whether there's their best mids in or not & in big loses, 3 out 4 seasons he's averaged 100 which makes him probably 2nd or 3rd most reliable forward option, at the price I'm not sure who's a safer bet to sideways trade from Barlow
I don't disagree with that, and i've been an owner in the past and most likely again this year. I'm just not sure that getting him after one match and this week against the Cats at Skilled would be the right move. But hey thats the beauty of this game, we make our own choices.
As for Barlow, personally i'm holding to see how he fairs in the next few.
He will be a great player and the Dogs look good this year, but i can see some more teams playing a defensive foward on him if he continues on like he is. Good coaches won't allow him such freedom, and against a team like the Hawks i think this will show me if he can.

Looking at using my first trades this week to bring in missed Rookies. Papley and most likely Daniel Wells as he looks like hes fit and back to his best and that price will be a nice little cash cow.
Papley for De Goey
Wells for either Keays/Gresham

Holding Barlow this week might not make the decision any clearer. His record against West Coast isn't great (66,29,88) so it's to be expected that another poor round might be on the cards. After that against Norf, Carlton Adelaide then GWS his record is pretty decent averaging over 100 in the last few years.
It could well be now or never with Barlow and Rocky being out has forced my hand.
Rocky -> Gray
Barlow -> Hall
Why I didn't think to have that as the starting combo I'll never know.
Keays had 39 touches in the NEAFL on the weekend, fair chance he gets a call up with all the injuries at Brisbane. Might pay to hold him and not waste a trade out then having to trade him back in later.
