Player X vs. Player Y

[Courtesans]

Duman v Cole.

Duman, think the extra $50k odd will be handy for coaches over the next few weeks as coaches look to the likes of Danger and Crouch.

Lyon appears to have changed tack and is playing his rookies, Brayshaw and Banfield still playing. If Duman performs is his spot to keep for a while perhaps. Mindful of getting these types through the byes for 18. Good as any I guess.

Treloar vs Oliver vs Merrett

Significantly different price levels, so I think it depends on what you can afford.

Personally I would rank them in that order, but Merrett is around 65K cheaper and I expect will average slightly less, but is better value.

Will have 680k to spend. Then will be looking at maybe upgrading Holman next week and downgrading banfield/brayshaw

Lyon was quoted as saying if the rookie type players needed a rest he would rest them during the week (lighter training) not game day which is a good thing

Feels like Ross is setting us up for a massive troll move some week in the near future

Surely he’d tell us...unless he’d signed a confidentiality agreement

ha! just chuckled.....well played!

Danger v Titch.

Both to be in my team eventually. But specifically for this week, I like titch more as a VC option given essendon + danger injury cloud, however it means I have to trade in olango to get a donut (as English plays same time as titch).

If danger scores poorly tonight, I have no need for a loophole and can save a trade for a perma donut later in the season

Yeo v Hurley

Mutch vs Ronke, and why?

Mutch vs Ronke, and why?

At an initial nomination - Ronke's lowest score is Mutch's highest and both are the same starting price.

But where do you need the relief most Mid or Fwd and who have you got to trade out? This may be the key to answering this head to head.

Job security uncertain for both. Longmire has kept guys like Newman in last year for prolonged periods, but he was scoring hundreds (ie was playing more outstanding football) in order to retain his spot. Does Ronke retain his spot once Franklin, Reid are back up forward and Hannebery in the midfield? They've already got a lot a 6ft type, running players in their line up

Oliver v Jelwood v anyone around 550k for my second last mid spot?

Cheers in advance

I really think its a 50/50 call on that one PC. Selwood has been a staple of my teams for most years and this year is probably the first time in years he as not been in my team.

As I think its a 50/50 call on those two, I think the determining factor may be the byes situation. If you are carrying Fyfe, Martin maybe Dangerfield then another Rd 14 bye player may be too many.

I would problably go Selwood first, but not if his Rd 14 bye is going to cause issues further done the track then it would be Oliver.

Yeo v Hurley

Came here for this too. Both have ok byes. Who is the better choice? Consistency vs ceiling?

I like the consistency of Hurley. I guess in theory Yeo should be cheaper at some stage if he posts one of those really low scores again.

 

[Leroy]

Yeo v Hurley

I think you need both eventually but I have Yeo slightly ahead in scoring, so get him first perhaps.

Thanks mate - I think the JS issue is the key one for me. Ronke has clearly been the better scorer but I have a nagging feeling he could end up being dead wood. Mutch has been named on the wing both games (Ronke on the bench), which means something for some teams and little for others. At the moment I’m fortunate in that Spargo is mid-fwd and my other clear in, so either works as much as the other from a position perspective.

I wouldn’t mind if team selections made this a clear call on Thursday, one way or another!
