Option 1 for sure. D.Moore is very valuable. I've been sold on him all preseason.
Cheers Bomber that’s what I’m thinking.

If Scott is out and Heeney is out that’s what I’ll do.

If Heeney and Hore are out I’ll go Hore to Moore and Heeney to one of Caleb Daniel or Worpel.

Heeney and at least one of the others have to be out for me to make a change. I’d prefer to hold Heeney but don’t want to hold onto an injured player in bad form before price rises.

Have 30 trades and no other issues

Duursma vs Parker

If I'm making a rookie correction for Hore, who should it be?
Parker has scored better. Duursma has DPP, but will be in my back line with no-one to link with. Still useful when it comes to trades however.

Probably Parker, whilst I can't see him keeping up this scoring (could be wrong) I just don't think we will get too many more rookie FWDs throughout the year putting up numbers like him and Drew have to start the year.

Just on Moore bomber are you at all worried about his hammies? I know it’s a new year and he looks good so far but that was the main reason I didn’t end up going for him. Still keen to get him but it’s the only thing that prevents him from being a must have for me.

I don’t think future forwards matter here, it’s cash cow vs cash cow, and if there will be better rookies then downgrading a defender is better because the new cash cow is better.

Kind of impossible to pick one, I trust Duursma to average more from here on but Parker has done more so far and his job security looks totally set.

I've punted for Parker at this stage. Will probably be one of those ones where the player you don't pick scores 80s while the one you do comes out with 50s or gets injured but that's the game :rolleyes:

Surely finding a way to get both in? Can't miss out on rookies like them!

Reverse X vs Y
Who should we get rid of?
Heeney Vs Greene

Both super-talented players with Heeney's potential maybe even higher than Greene.
Both carrying an injury that impacts their scores, with Greene most likely to persist given his worse injury history.
Greene significantly cheaper than Heeney.
If both players are named? WHOMST GETS THE BOOT??

Personally I'm leaning Greene.

Greene could be a liability, playing only half the possible matches until he's fit.

Greene easily in my view. Lower scorer, less reliable, not playing, won't be a keeper. His only advantage is price, but if he's not on the park that doesn't help.

Need to get rid of Greene..
Luke Dahlhaus v Tim Kelly?
I actually want both of these guys but so many Geelong players with high scoring potential.
Can anyone who has kept an eye on Geelong games give a bit of advice on where these guys spend most of their time on ground?
Thanks.

I haven’t watched them closely, but I believe Kelly has had 21 clearances and Dahl 5. Check out their stats on AFL Tables.

Dahl playing forward with some mid time, has been scoring well because he has kicked 1 & 2 goals so far and is tackling like a mad man with 6 & 11!
Kelly playing inside midfielder with Gaz starting forward and rotating mid and Selwood playing outside/wing allowing Parfitt and Constable to soak up midfield time.

Kelly a permanent midfielder, Dahl a forward with some midfield stints.

Dahlhaus could average 20 touches and a goal a game or higher this year, especially with Geelong looking good, he may also have a few quieter games if he doesn't get a goal or his pressure i.e tackles drop off, can't imagine he keeps averaging the stats he has now after 2 games all year.

Boak seems a lot more reliable than Milera. You know you're gonna get at least 90 from him every week. Does your choice change which rookies are on the field?

I can't decide on this one: Scrimshaw or Butters?
Boak in means I stay as is rookie wise, with Moore + 5 onfield down back. Milera in would see me drop Wilkie to the bench, and Parker come on in the FWD line.

Depends on your rookie structure, if you need a better DEF rookie onfield then Scrimshaw, if you bat deep in the MIDs and have only 2-3 rookies on field then you can probably pass on Butters.

Tough one that, probably Boak I think (partially because I have become bullish on Boak the last few days).
