Thanks doddy, I figure paying $220k for a guy I know is going to play is better than $120k for a player who might give me doughnuts.
Rd 9 Downgrades

Jed Anderson not named again, not even emergency. Seriously considering swapping him for Amon, it'll be a close call but I should be able to wait until Ports sub is named before pulling the trigger. His numbers actually don't look too bad for a sub, and with Cornes out the door there might just be a spot for him. Even if he just plays through the byes he would come in very handy. Anyone else have Anderson?
Yep, considering the same, tho with a couple of debutants named this week, I might hold fire. Jed has been playing well in the twos, but we're pretty close to full strength right now. Billy Hartung has played himself into the spot that we expected to be Jed's.
So what is crazier:
Taking a mid pricer with a history of being used as a tagger?
Or a mature aged 200K rookie who is not even on the bubble yet after a single solid but unspectacular game?
Or a cheap mature age rookie who has shown he can hit 100 SC points in a game but is out injured for another week or two?
Or a promising kid who has only been used as the sub so far and we don't know if he can run out a game and has questionable job security?

Yep theyre all crazy haha... I see the reasoning though. I'm going early on Biggs. Ditching Miller for him which starts to clear up some major round 12 issues for me, and moving CEY to Rocky. Holding Cripps through the byes, I think he's got more in him.
Amon would probably be the best bet if the bargain pricers though. Looks like he should take Cornes spot. Dale staying in with so many outs could be a plus too but you just don't know why those guys have all been omitted. They're not exexactly short on talent. Might just be one week out as a "lift your game" thing after the Dees loss. Such a tough call to make. I'd only be getting those ones in if you absolutely need to trade elsewhere this week.

Atm I have Dale sitting in my team. This is due to my need to trade to get Rocky in this week. For me, my team looks a lot better getting in a fwd rookie than a mid rookie (hence Dale over Amon).
Here is an interesting question though. Kane Lambert is now listed as 1-3 weeks away on the Richmond injury list. Is it almost less of a risk trading in K. Lambert, and hoping he plays in Rd. 12 and 13, than trading in one of these Rookies?

I also brought Dale into my forward line via Krak but for Lewis as I grabbed Rocky last week. I like how your thinking though about Lambert, but he may be a little further as he might come through the 2's. I have actually held Lambert for the duration knowing he will eventually comeback he has been used a couple of times now as a loophole, very handy.
Lambert will come in via two's almost certainly, so would be a no for early trade in as need as many scoring rooks as possible during the byes.
Let's not forget about Heeney coming back just after the byes. At only 234k, he's perfect for a downgrade option from Touk/CEY, expecting to pocket 200k.
I hope those that traded this week held onto Cripps! All the signs to keep him were there and he didn't disappoint. It's almost looking that he will remain in my team for the duration he is going to be great bench coverage.
Kept him had the Big E on him. Glenn on Miller off NVB to Rocky and Vburg and Cripp can start for one more week.
If cripps hadn't given the fifty, about four frees with goal range and a couple of turnovers in the same area his score would of been heaps better. He looks area player, I commented to a mate that he appears a little slow and his response was "so was greg Williams" fair enough. Some hope for us poor barstards at least!
He does look a little slow, but he is still new to the game and adjusting to the pace, but he will be superstar for your boys!
Cripps certainly isn't quick but he's not slow Imo similar to Heppell I reckon needs to build his tank but that will come with more pre-seasons, frees against, some of which were very soft, probably cost him 20+ Points,
I think they should stick with him and Nick Graham in the middle, with Bell around as well they'll need to find some good ball uses, the list is shit don't get me wrong but I don't think it's quite as shit as Mick's game plan made it look.

No game plan.
lucky when he was at Collingwood he had some naturals in swan, didak, shaw, and cloke had a good year.
Last night undermanned and at least they showed some balls and tried for what It was worth.
