Hold, it's only 1 game, and when you picked him, you knew he'd miss one/some at some stage.

 

[Brettthejett]

So what I'm reading between the lines here is its a 50-50 wether or not I trade or hold.

So across the 2 seasons we had 31 players that either or both dropped 20+% or 20+ points, on their expected scoring by Round 2, and then if you held them:
9 were disasters
6 were disappointing
16 bounced back ok.

 

[Brettthejett]

I guess it depends how much value you put on a trade doesn't it? He won't drop $250k + so I think ill hold can't afford to burn through them this early when my season is already shot. (well thats unless he keeps up his current woful average)

When you look at the players that started priced at 105+, the % jumps up quite a bit more than that.
67% ok. 17% disasters.

I think the biggest issue with Neale that's frightening us is the lose of cash. If he was only going to drop $20K I think most including me would hold him for another look. But the thought of dropping $100K to $150K is the trouble. For me, hopefully Dunkley will outscore what ever Neale scores.

Losing money is irrelevant, picked him because of how good he is. Class is permanent. If he blasts a good one great, if not, next week.

 

[Philzsay]

Decision made.

Backing you in son!

"Neale? Ha ha - yeah, that's a funny one.
Our Plan? We are just going to ensure we screw over as many SC coaches as possible. Let him run wild, I reckon."

Please note - this quote is not entirely accurate and may in fact only represent my disappointment at this point in time.

 

[Rowsus]

I voted Hold, and I would like to see at least a 90 tonight.



After where he was at half-time, I'm actually a bit .
I was expecting he'd get at least 105 from his half time position.

 

[Courtesans]

He was rubbish in the second half.

 

[incog43]

He was rubbish in the second half.

I didn't see the game Courts, he seemed to stop looking at his scores by quarter. Does he look unfit/injured?

 

[BarginHunter]

At least we know Daniher and Neale are imptoving their scores(even if it is at the same pace)

Cant say I can answer that, I don’t know what happened to him not getting the ball.

 

[Shaunpro1]

2 weeks in a row that hes only really been able to play a half of footy, youd think it will all click eventually but might be a frustrating hold.

 

[Nathan]

Got burnt by teammates not hand-balling out of the contest a few times, but can’t rely on that.

non Neale owner but been following this thread with interest.

So after one price drop and a high BE do people still hold and hope his form returns quickly or trade out in Round 4 ?

Surely the damage is now done for Neale owners. Neale showed enough of his SC gold ticket in the first half (68?) to suggest there is hope.

hope ur right, but I think he is struggling to run out a full game.

For me it is a hold as that is the only chance I have of catching up. I just have to hope that 160+ score is around the corner and I can get the advantage of that score before others start grabbing him at a deflated price. Hopefully the saved trade, or two trades for those who trade him out then in again, work for me later in the season. If he continues to score sub 90, so be it!!
