Round 8 Trades......

@Steve Hopefully you can get a few games out of Swallow. Read on twitter, Suns said the planned on resting him for a 1/4 of the season to prolong his career

Yeah I saw that. Hopefully he plays this week, has his bye, then can play the next 4 weeks... That's all I need!

Does anyone think Trelor has bottomed out? I am considering swapping him out and Pendles in, but it freaks me out how much cash I would have lost

If I'm moving on from Treloar it'll be in round 13. Gives him enough time to turn it around. If he doesn't, smell ya later!

In case anyone missed this on Roberton (plus a lot of other stuff):

I think Berry is a genuine down grade option

Underrated post.

Much chance that Heeney will be rested here and there?

No such luck by the looks of it. Not going to China.

Bloody hell. He's in and out more than Nan's teabag. Might have to get creative this week if I plan on keeping him.

Is keeping him an option?
He's beginning to become more trouble than he's worth.

Swallow is out with a knee injury/ "knock" :S

What is everyone's opinion?? Which rookie def are you taking??

EVW $155k Def
Berry $170k Def/Mid
McNiece $102k Def
Melican $176k Def
Cox $117k Def

There is no way he flies to China this week (21 hours) with a bad knee

Berry, still a low BE, getting games abd still at a reasonable price.

Mcniece if named, if not Berry.

Not sure, but interesting how he was used on the weekend. Horse put him in the midfield in the first quarter and he scored DT 58. Played the rest of the game up forward and only finished DT 102.

Was that planned? Was it taking the opportunity to not overload him in an easy win? Was it easing him back in? Was it him lacking the fitness to run out the game? Who knows what Horse is thinking?

Hopefully it's them not wanting to burn him out in a game that was over at quarter time. Anyone who can score DT 58 in a quarter I'm happy to pick up for $450k.

Really? One vote cheaper player, one vote DPP. What is their JS though? Mullet out helps EVW's JS

Scores this year

EVW 51, 58, 35
Berry 32, 29, 14, 62, 60
McNiece 61, 48
Melican 68, 54, 67
Cox 37, 23

Mullet won't be out for long. Pushing for selection this week. If he isn't selected this week, you would imagine he would return next week.

Berry's JS may be improved with Robinson and McStay out for a few weeks.

He also spent a fair bit of time in the midfield Rd 6. The only other mid to attend more centre bounces was JPK.

Berry's role has changed the last 2 weeks, McNiece was marked as rested last week so if he comes straight back in I think his JS is pretty solid.

I liked EW pre-season, and though his first couple games were ok but he was awful V Adelaide.
