Afternoon minidee. 
I don't like the Suckling trade. I believe leopard's don't change their spots. Suckling had many seasons and opportunities at Hawthorn, to show us what he has, and in SC terms, it fell short. If there is a Hawthorn like team in the League at the moment, it is the Bulldogs. I can't see him maintaining his recent form, and he will fall back to being the same old Suckling we have always known. ie. good scores here and there, but largely averaging less than you'd like.

I do have a reputation of responding to every question put to me.
Your team has way too many Midpricers, and not enough solid Keepers. It's likely you won't be able to complete a solid team of Keepers from here. let's look at the break up of your team.
10 Keepers, 6 Midpricers, and you already have all the current downgrade targets!
I do have to ask, how and why did you bench M Crouch last week, but still fielded both Parish and Keays?
Your Midpricers need to be played before your Rookies, or you need to trade those Midpricers out!
Your Forward line, Ruck and Midfield will do for the moment, but your Def line needs an awful lot of work!
Normally I'd say trade out Papley, but there are no downgrade targets. So you need to trade out Parish, probably to Trengove, and then upgrade Brown in your Defence. You're going to need some value picks along the way, if you are going to get anywhere near a full team. You also have no Round 13 Defenders at all on your list, and will have bye problems coming up. With that in mind, I suggest you get Rance.
Good luck, let's see if we can get this team climbing the Rankings!

Hey Slammer,
both BenKen and Hutchings will drop in price next time they play, but I think Hutchings has more potential to go on a little hot streak than BenKen. Hutchings scores were pretty stable, outside of that 42, which drops out of his pricing after this week. BenKen's 29 is at the front of his pricing, so is there for two more weeks. Add in that Hutchings went: 106, 89, 121, 58, 110, 110, 96 at the end of last season, something I don't think BenKen will manage this season, and probably why you got Hutchings in the first place, and I'd hold Hutchings, and trade Kennedy. Your M/F link will return, and it's too early to be basing your Trading on re-eatablishing it now. Halls an interesting one. With his bye next week, I'd hold him this week, and get more info, before trading him out.
I'm not sure where BenKen sits right now, Mid or Fwd, so it's hard to know what your options are. But I think if possible, trade him, and hold Hutchings.

Hey Rowsus,
I seem to have stuffed up my structure, I've got a full mid without DPP and a full FWD line without DPP. My mid is full premo (except for Wines) while I have BKen and Menadue sitting on my forward bench. Is it worth downgrading say BKen to a floating donut at this point of time in the year, or is it too early for that?
Cheers

If your team is "bye safe", and you can fit a FD in, then no problem. Otherwise, you need to wait until after the byes.
Hi Rowsus - first question for you of the season
Just wondering if you had an opinion on who might be the best Giants mid to trade in post byes?

first of all, let me say well done on your Round 12 so far! I hope you can really bring it home, and nail a huge one!
I don't like Vanilla answers, but I think it has to be Ward.
Figures include Round 12 scores and Price for upcoming round 13.
Ward $530,400 - 142, 97, 109, 137, 90, 132, 116, 88, 124, 72, 125, 101 - ave 111.1
Shiel $547,200 - 102, 98, 101, 108, 92, 114, 92, 120, 109, 118, 115, 88 - ave 104.8
Coniglio $527,800 - DNP, 78, 96, 126, 127, 117, 110, 118, 135, 95, 66, 108 - ave 106.9
Shiel probably has the consistency this season, but Ward has the better ceiling (this season). Coniglio has been given run with roles in some games, and that probably rules him out. Ward has the bonus of being cheaper than Shiel, too.

Thanks Rowsus - appreciated! Your Rd12 score is looking pretty nice as well
I figured I needed a Giants mid to finish my mid line off, especially considering their draw post byes! FTB is probably not the answer as I have Shaw, but a nice strongly scoring mid could be the go.
The fly in the ointment will be getting enough players on the field during the byes though, which may mean the M8 spot I have saved for a Giant is filled by someone else (maybe Hanners).

Wow, there was some foresight in these comments! The decision would have made a good or bad weekend, although, not with the person Slammer thought.
Fortunately also went Rocky this week, meh score, however still on the park. Many will not jump on him this week however his BE will be super low. a decent score and he will jump out of reach for many, poor score or injury and it will be a wasted trade in.

Difficulty is cannot see the pattern of where he scores well or poorly. seems to be mixed against good and poor teams and win/losses. Poor scores against Gold Coast, Adelaide (contested side) and Saints (fairly contested), good scores vs Bulldogs (won) and Geelong (lost) who also contested sides. Was considering from a league POV.
Anything standout to you Rowsus on what drives his pattern of scoring? Whilst mids now complete, Rocky is one of those mids and always need to know who is the back up plan if injured.
Hey Mate love your thoughts on who would be better to bring in as of next week -
Gunston - JJK or any other premo fwds you would recommend
Im looking to bolster my fwd line for rnd13
current fwd line is - Dusty, Buddy, Hall, Stringer, Kerridge, Petracca, Mcgovern, Redman FD
Plan to unload Stringer to Lids in rnd 14 (was hoping Stringer would have had better value but oh well)
Or should i be looking at the Zmerret/Zorko types ? already having Buddy as KPF
