Age - 32 years old now/ historically past his best.

Been mentioned many times on this forum before 😉
Libba such an interesting case. Age being the main thing that is turning people off him (me included) but he just had a career best year and went at 126.8 for the second half of the year when taking out the injury game.

Could he be the exception to the rule and with 40 trades can you afford to punt on one of these players in your team. Not sure I’m brave enough to do it though. I say that as I have Yeo, Crouch, Wines and Fyfe in my team!

The problem for me is he out scored his best ever years by 10 points, plus his age. So many good options below his price.

But we're all backing in 32-year-old Gawn to get back to his best? Not like Libba needs to retain his speed to score well. His 2nd half of last season was huge. Agree age is against him historically but he doesn't look like slowing down just yet.

Gawn $100K cheaper, if he was at his peck price I would pick English. Plus much better scoring history.

Struggling to rank the mid-pricers/high-end rookies here.

I like D'Ambrosio, but he needs to score 70s+ to work, and he looks right on that mark. But Cam Mackenzie is only $50k more and I think he beats him by more than 10 points :unsure:

So do you swap them over?
Is Cam and Hustwaite filling Day’s spot? and how long is Will Day out for?
