@Herbie66

Thoughts on Howe, please Herbie. Not sure I trust his scoring, does his role change to get the volatility in his scoring that he has.

Last year picked him up going into finals, semi injured game 1, two good scores and one poor. Does his role change and did it change from early in the season to late due to other players being available.

I am definitely not qualified to give opinions on players and roles in teams.

I think Rowsus summed him up very well in his thread and @Darkie has mentioned previously the difference in scoring with or without Moore.

Sorry can't be anymore helpful than that.

Thoughts on J Ridley?

Price: $322,600
Marsh Series Avg: 106 (95+117)
RD1: 100
I got burnt hard on him last year played well in marsh then in the season with scores of 71, - ,65,73,55,74,58 then wasn't seen again. Only got a rise of around 67k. I was happy with his scores for the price i paid but being omitted sucked.

Are there any other Luke Ryan owners around and if so are you holding him?
I didn't watch his round 1 game but his stats are poor. Would think with the scoring this year he is capable of putting up some solid numbers as an intercept defender who takes the kick ins, but round 1 numbers have me spooked

Ryan owner here. If memory serves me correct he had a slight niggle/injury heading into RD1. Uncharacteristically only managed the 1 mark and would reassess in the coming rounds.

Don't own him myself, but as you mention I think the scoring should be really beneficial for him. Hopefully take round one as just a howler from him and reap the rewards after the iso break.
