With Martin you know you’re getting him for a bargain given the injury score, and I assume that’s why the masses are on him. I do like Rowbottom as a POD, however I would like to see him score 100 in a game where JPK and Parker both go 100+ (with Parker quiet when JPK returned). I just feel like Martin is safer being low on trades.
Not my speciality, but if you are tagging someone from the Saints, Steele would be one I would think would be high on the list.
I like the trajectory Paddles is on this year, gone from an average rookie selection last season to being quite handy now. He seems to be improving with each game. Can't fault him really.
Martin has also been good for when I have watched him, especially when the Blues win. They have quite a good draw from here on, I still feel they miss finals somehow. He is more experienced, but has broken out to an extent with the club change.
I have looked closely at getting both in recent weeks, ended up with neither. I'd lean towards Rowbottom for being a bit more consistent.

Thanks for clarifying. As a recent Walters owner, I am not happy and would rule him out - doesn't come close to Brayshaw who has had 100+ eight of the last nine weeks.
Coniglio or JPK? Kennedy is scoring around 90 and I don't see that changing much, as the Swans are one of 4 teams playing for draft picks. Coniglio has an easy draw, and although he can put in some stinkers like the 53 two rounds back, he can also go bigget than JPK, with 8/14 100+ scores. The last option is my preference, Cogs has a 131 BE so won't go up in value much this round, most teams will be copping donuts/using rookies this round anyway, plus it is best 18.

Tough call. Could argue either.
McEvoy is mainly playing in defence, and that's his role if Ceglar stays fit, despite being a top ruck. He is decent back there, but late last season I had him pegged as a smoky for one of the better value ruck choices this year (when I thought he would be playing ruck, just before he got moved back). He has been scoring well, and should see a lot of ball with how awful Hawthorn are going.
ROB has a relatively easy draw from here. Ceglar, Mummy, Pittonet/TDK and Soldo/Nank. Could throw in good scores against most of those, his only sub 80 score all season was against Gawn.
I'll say ROB, mainly as he's playing for a team trying to get a win so they don't finish 0-17, Hawthorn has zero incentive to win matches from here on, it just hurts their draft selections.

Coming 158th and aiming for a top 50 finish, but will be very very happy with a top 100 finish.
Do I trade Stewart to Haynes or Mills?
I currently have ZWilliams and Whitfield from GWS and Lloyd from Sydney.
If I didn't have two GWS defenders already (if Whitfield is playing primarily in defence at the moment or continues to do so) I would definitely go Haynes, but given I do it makes me think I'm increasing the chance that one of the 3 drop off and that Haynes is inherently a risk as I'm increasing the number of players who can take points off each other. I wonder if some of that has already been happening in the past few weeks.
Mills is also only in 7 teams in the top 180, compared to about 70+ teams with Haynes. He also has Lloyd to deal with, but has had him all season.
I'm certainly favouring Haynes, but would like anyone's input considering these facts.

Congrats on the ranking, something I can only dream of.
I'm definitely no expert, but 70/180 owning someone at the top of the rankings suggests they are a better choice than 7/180, as if Mills was a good choice, he would be in more top teams.
Overall, Mills is in 6,782 teams (4%), Haynes 29,241 (17%). Again, that tells me Haynes looks the better option when you compare ratios. A higher percentage of the Haynes selectors are top 180 compared to those with Mills.
One team is playing for finals, the other has checked out. Prefer the GWS player for that reason.
Haynes for me of these two.

Thanks for your response.
I tend to agree that Haynes is the better selection but Mills has been pretty solid for a select few teams who have had him, he's just been pretty under the radar. However, his recent scores are pretty lukewarm and his 100 avg is really living off what he scored early in the year.
I just feel uncomfortable that if Whitfield plays in defence like he did vs Freo I'm essentially putting 3 defenders from the same team on the field, just seems like 3 of them can't continue to score well together, or maybe these three are an exception. Maybe with JKelly out Williams gets some centre bounce time ( I can only hope) or Whitfield moves to the wing.
