    Not sure you can read much into the history so far. Sub rule, no consistency in him getting a game, and remember he has only played 41 games so he is still relatively inexperienced. There could still be some improvement left in him. I think all of him, Parker and Hanners will average 110 and...

    They're like Kmac, Oxley and Langdon of recent years. Average around 80, get to 400k, and last priority upgrade considering we would be happy with a 95ppg avg in defence. My plan is to have Adams forward after my first mid upgrade (lots of DPP action for me atm). Weitering and Mills were my 2...

    Round 3 Discussion

    I'm doing Rocky to JJ this week. I have no cash otherwise I would've got Dusty. JJ will have scores of 70 over the year but all defenders will. He should still average 95, and to me that is worth paying 420k and using a trade on. And banking 130k.

    I don't have him either so maybe that's why I'm not up in arms about it. I agree he was stiff though. He was clearly best on. Fyfe and Danger usually hover around the mid 70s for DE I think. Obviously the difference between mid 60s and mid 70s is about 20SC. 4 clangers doesn't help either.

    If that DE is a standard elite midfielders 80% then he scores 145. DE is everything for a mid.

    Dea and Adams are interesting ones. Being the lowest point scoring position on the field, I'm happy to have them averaging 75-80 on field and being my last upgrades.

    Why are you sitting on so much cash? Crouch to Gaz.

    What's the reason behind trading Gresham? He is just as likely to come back next week as Hewett is to get dropped.

    Keeping Barlow. Trading Rocky. One trade only. My team isn't perfect obviously but I won't be sideways trading in round 3 only to curse having 3 trades left in round 17.

    Injuries/Late outs

    I don't have Crouch but between him and Rockliff, I think this goes to show... If you don't have a good preseason and there are clearly niggles, and ESPECIALLY after injuries the previous year, you just can't go near the guy. Ablett did it to us last year (and still may this year, who knows?)...

    Yeah this is where I'm at now. I've cooled on Rocky to JJ and would rather get a Fwd/mid keeper to flick forward when the time comes. Merrett and Dusty are my options. Zorko may well turn out a top 6-8 forward but I think he's at his top price. Dusty probably is too but he's more likely to be a...

    Well that's definitely not the reason then! Hopefully he gets a good run at it this year.

    Barring injury, I see wells as a keeper. The boys though as much on the podcast too. While I agree with not sideways trading premium keepers, I'm looking at keeping Barlow but ditching Rocky for JJ via Bartels DPP. That way I'm not going one premo short in the midfield (even if Bartel isn't the...

    I've got Libba averaging 105-108 and sitting comfortably at M8 post byes. Absolutely a keeper. The Doggies can't and won't play like this all year but their surprise scorers so far have come from their outside, run and carry players. That's not Libba. In and under, contested ball and clearances...

    Point taken! Second question still stands though.

    Has Tom Mitchell stopped fooling around with Horses daughter? He is SO tempting but can we trust Longmire to play him 22 games??

    I think it's more the deja vu of last year scaring everyone off. No preseason and an early niggling injury that he tried to play through but couldn't. When he was fit at the tail end of last year, he killed it. Until he shows something like that form again, 550k is too much for someone who will...

    Man this sucks. I've done some full 360s on my plans already and it's only Tuesday. On Saturday night, I was trading both Rocky and Barlow. Then just Barlow. Then keeping both. And now I'm on to just Rocky. With Barlow, it's risky keeping him but he's just as likely to turn it around and...
