I think his role will be fairly consistent throughout the season. He's a great user by foot so I imagine they will look to get the ball in his hands a fair bit. Collingwood fans will probably have a better idea than me but I think his game is very fantasy friendly, and he's been working his way into the season and I'm hoping he continues improving. Also, it looks like the ball might be in the Collingwood defence a fair bit this season given their results so far.

Thinking the double downgrade this week.
Jones is definitely coming in.
The other trade I'm looking at is either Bergman or McCreery. The latter is cheaper but Bergman feels like a better on-field option, just annoying that I've already traded him out and he's had a price rise.
Campbell and Berry the two likely to make way.

Is Bailey Dale ($407 fwd ave: 94) worth a look for an upgrade?. Currently the 8th best fwd, he is running off half back, and taking at least half the kick ins. So role is good, price is good, team is winning (more share of points). Williams remains out for a while,so even with Caleb back I think his role stays good.
The problem is, it's the Dogs and Bevo likes to switch things around every now again. I can see the horror story now as Caleb returns to full time kick in duty, and Dale gets sent forward.

Just reckon he will regress to an 80’s average player for the rest of the season, think it’s bound to happen based on such a long scoring history in the 80’s at his best. That’s still very good for a key forward but I don’t see him doing much better.
Ultimately the first sign of injury/body trouble has me walking away

I remember reading those words many times in the preseason about Dow 😀
Personally think people get way too excited when a newbie is announced , at that price he would have to show a hell of a lot more than what he has produced in his previous 5 games.
wow $ 400k he might be a keeper
Not sure who you would use as a trade out , Chapman & Jones have money to make , maybe Clark (not getting maximum return)
Be interesting to see how he scores with Cripps , Curnow , Setterfield , Walsh , Williams etc still around their mids.
See how he performs then assess

Not sure where all of that came from Herbie - you'd of course have a look at him for two games and then assess whether he's worth bringing in and nobody is suggesting jumping on him straight away based on a VFL game (I'd guess most coaches generally leave thoughts about jumping straight away onto players with state league form back in round 1).
Just a general comment really.
His starting price may be restrictive to many.
Not sure about others but I think I have 2 on my bench that might look like making enough $$$ to be worthwhile for downgrades , going to be a very long haul.
Nothing about Stocker's scores in 2019 jump out but it will be interesting to see how he performs.
