Only one player can change my fortunes around , time for some SC Royalty

Fyfe - > Pendles

may as well bring in players that I like

Stewart - > ???

could bring in 2 rookies but that would mean 8 onfield , don't think I will generate enough $$$ for upgrades as it is.

thoughts on Maynard? how is it that he is playing so much better this year?

The Howe conumdrum... 527 to spend... who to trade to?

Laird for more cash... Maynard or Crisp? Haynes?

Is Ridley the real deal? Impressive numbers so far and I'm looking for a value premium after making some poor choices. Haven't seen him play as yet but stats indicate good user off half back who can take a grab and capable of getting contested footy.
Has he been taking kick ins or is that Saad or Hurley's domain?
Would appreciate any views.

I brought him in round 2 and no regrets.

Ridley is firming as my Howe replacement to save cash for upcoming upgrades and holding the likes of Pickett, Bennell and Sturt.

Will conduct the usual stats/research tomorrow and report back the findings.

Well Mumford & Guns climbed 2200 spots and into 700th. Cash generation is a little light however, so thinking Howe to Ridley ($110k less than Haynes), and finally dump BZT to Green via Rivers. Green can cover M8, and Rivers goes to the bench, it keeps scoring solid and Green boosts cash gen.

Yep I'm also considering him as a Howe/Stewart replacement. I said last week I didn't want to bring him in because he was ton "speculative" but thoughts have changed after this weekend.

No huge standouts in defense this year besides Docherty (and before this week, Howe) so can probably afford a riskier pick

Second thought, M.King to Butler, Rozee to Wingard. Will have to hold Howe for a week because my forwards have been somewhat underwhelming.

Thinking the same at the moment

Anyone watch the game? How has he been scoring all his points?

Had him for a while and like him a lot. And for that matter, would appreciate it if all others steered clear please and thanks... because I need all the PODs I can get.

To put it bluntly: his role is perfect at the moment. He doesn't do incredible things like Saady does to score points; he just never misses a kick (ie. doesn't risk kicks like a Sicily might), can take an intercept mark (much like Siclily), and is suprising aggresive in the ground-ball contest, when he's around it (also, much like Sicily).

In conclusion: he's a less hot-headed, 140k cheaper Sicily. Make of that what you will.

Houston to Ridley was my trade this week
Paid big dividends ? He competed well and I thought his disposal was very assured.
Pity some of the others in my backline such as Stewart and Howe managed to injure themselves ?
