The conditions will suit Barlow, heavy rain and wind, I think Ross is making a statement with Barlow - not in our plans LT, but Ross is competitive, wants to win and I wouldn't be surprised if late change = Barlow in
Hard to plan for I know when game is Sat late

Very hard to plan for!!!

One up one down this week, question is, Macpherson or Brand? Anyone know much about these two? Macpherson DE% worries me but so does Brands job security and the fact he is a tall key position defender.

I've gone Mitch Brown and Corey Ellis to Darcy MacPherson and Callan Ward.

With Hall on my mid bench, I am only 1 upgrade away from a full midfield. My issue, like most others, is having Wells and Barlow on the bench in the fwd line. I am happy enough to carry them both for another week, but really need at least one of them back full time from next week.

May have to pull the pin on one or both Wells and Barlow next week, but that's a problem for future me to deal with.

I'll be banking on this happening. If he is not named a wells to Zorko trade will be made.

Thoughts on Bontempelli??? Scoring only fair but the last 2 weeks really picked up his scoring as a result of a jump in possession count.

Change of role or just finding some form??

Coz he is under performing. Goldy at rock bottom price. He could go massive against a ruckless Carlton.

U think a bit too crazy??
I'd wait a few weeks for Gawn, he has passed Goldy IMO... wait until his 49 is out of his 3 week ave. pick him up dirt cheap... That's just my personal opinion though

I need to trade one of Wells and Barlow (and Adams, but one bushfire at a time). Is the conservative play here to get rid of Wells before Barlow? I really dont want to do 2 sideways trade in 1 week (other being Houli out), at least getting rid of Wells wont feel like that but it may be biasing my opinion.

Already have big Maxxy!!
Good job mate, I'm kicking myself for not having the knackers to stick with him after having him all preseason, I'll ride it out with NicNat who has definitely not been disappointing but Goldy & Gawn is definitely the premium ruck combo

Yep. Just a bit.

He migh be "underperforming" but you have to take it all in context. He was averaging 104 over the first 3 rounds after playing West Coast (Nicnat), North (Goldy) and Geelong (Stanley/Smith). He then was on 63 before half time against Gold Coast before Steven May screwed us all over. Came back (still half concussed) the next week and scored 69 against the Doggies... 20 points more than both Goldy and Gawn have scored against the Dogs. Had his highest score of the year 2 weeks later and had an 84 in an absolute drubbing. He has been disappointing sure, but the worst is over. It honestly wouldnt surprise me for both Stef and Goldy to average 108-110 from here. It's just not worth a trade given all the current carnage. Even if you have avoided the carnage last week and this week, whats to say that it doesnt hit you in 6 weeks time? If its a gut feel then go for it, no one can stop you. I would just very very strongly recommend against it.

Perhaps just weather this storm of carnage this week. I really want to hold Barlow. Dunno why, just something in my waters says hold.

Seedsman was my mid-price as the start of the year $324k

He now is $334k with a BE of 92. Is this week the week to trade him out? Advice.

Jordan Lewis? Has been ok last couple of weeks, the 50 he has in his cycle ends this week (BE33). Brad crouch needs to go. Originally was going to go to Priddis but that means going early on hopper which i'm not keen on. Thoughts please.
