Pretty sure he's forward only? Cox looks like he could hang around for a while as cover but wouldn't be relying on him for much.

Yeah sorry just FWD but is sharing ruck suites with Westhoff & Dixon.
Westhoff interests me if he's going to be playing as a Ruckman plays and scores best when allowed to just roam.

Cox and Smith for me this week. Double downgrade and next week dbl upgrade.
Don't ask me why i can downgrade to cox all i can say is i have frost, no apparent explanation for why i have him, but jeez i will be glad to get rid of him.
With Cox and Smith both being r13 bye players it will suit a lot of structures out there i think.

Does that mean you already have Petracca and you're happy to pass on Keays?

Yes i have Petracca, have from the start of the season. As for Keays I liked his effort but think his js shakier than smiths.
The other factor in play is that this week Cox will give me a rnd 13 bye in the rucks so he can partner goldy and gawn the following weeks rnd 14 and 15.
Think I will pass on keays, I did like him in the ps but maybe matheson for me as he will only be a week or two away imho.

thoughts on Darcy Tucker? Reckon his JS is worthy enough for him to come in?
Questionable I would have thought. Didn't seem to do much on the weekend and scores of 34 won't make you much cash.

There's not much else on the horizon in defence from what i can see, so if you're desperate....

Oliver and Trengove maybe in the mix for Melbourne selection.
Oliver - 29 possessions, four inside 50s and a game-high 16 tackles.
Trengove - 27 possessions, went inside 50 two times and had 11 effective tackles

Ch 7 said Trengove was still probably 2 weeks away which would be perfect downgrade around bye time.

Thought I'd post my rookie-research for this week. Instead of looking at BE, I tend to compare their price based on their average to what their current price is. If they're within $50k of their average price I think it's reasonable to move them on assuming they haven't got too much left to make.
Weitering -$37,500
Dea -$40,700
AMT -$56,200
Brown -$58,800
Adams -$108,500
Libba -$51,400
Mills -$41,900
Menadue -$52,300
Kerridge -$92,200
Lyons -$109,400
Kennedy -$93,700
McCarthy -$53,000
Papley -$117,300

Weitering and Dea are the obvious ones. Mills actually looks like he's ready too - a BE of 33 so not this week but next week or the one after he'll be ready.

At the other end - guys like Adams, Kennedy and Papley should be given a lot longer. As Brown showed this week and Papley before him - it only takes 1 decent score to push the cash generation along nicely. Kennedy you could argue is inflated by his 2 tons at the start, but one of those this week against the Suns and he'll put on another $50k easily.

Anyway, just thought it was interesting. Probably doesn't change my thoughts, but helpful to plan the future.

Smart. I like your style. Got to take into account some players have major outlier scores, it ranks them in more or less the order I would have them anyway so really solid guide

If Goldy is a late out this week and you were umming and ahhing about bringing Cox before is the thought of a donut this week enough to seal the deal?
