Any chance Waterman reappears?

The Stringer injury opens the door but Guelfi was really good coming on as the sub so it's likely he replaces him.

I was about to post a near identical post as Ben!

Gah. Just know he’ll turn up when I dump him.

Ham could lose his spot to Guelfi and Waterman replaces Stringer as the fwd target.

Perkins / Cox / Jones could be due for a rest. Few avenues for Waterman available on the table but Waterman was actually injured last week so he needs to prove his fitness himself..... I really need him back.....

He's probably overpriced but who do you go to? You'd need someone about $450k who can average 105-110, and be able to fill the other forward spots. Struggling to see anyone at any price at the moment who looks like a premium.

Was this am old tweet, thought he'd been ruled out already?

 

[THCLT]

Can Bell and JL get on the same page with regards to Ryan!
Bell 'he's at least 1 week away'
JL 'he's touch and go'

Poulter. Go right down. You would be assuming he has just about peaked and could be picked up later for cheaper if he doesn't cop an injury.

Consider this, if someone had said start year that he would be averaging 122 and cost 600k, people would have politely ignored them. Look at it another way, the best averaging def at the moment is Mills at 114ish...

Take the profits, use them to upgrade mid spuds...

from this morning?

I think I will make a conscious choice to pass on Poulter.

I don't expect him to be a high scorer, and while his JS seems decent in the short, ultimately we have Sidebottom and Daicos to return to wing roles if we do bring Sier/Greenwood as inside mids (Crisp has also become a full time inside midfielder). On the wing, we could probably rotate Murphy, Noble, Mayne, WHE, Sidebottom, Daicos and many other spuds through that role.

Job security - medium
Scoring potential - low to medium

I'm actually very tempted. Pretty much done my dash at the top now anyway, it'd be a definite POD move (Ziebell was in all but one of the top 1000 teams in Rd 8). Would allow for getting in an extra premium at least 1 week quicker, and would just run with a cheaper forward line - not like there's any decent premium options forward. 143 BE this round.

Cheers @Professor

I was just somewhat confused when there was a tweet or the like yesterday saying he had already been ruled out this week.

 

[AngryAnt]

Big issue I have this round is who to trade out. I have Powell, Jordon, Bergman, Scott, McNeil and Rowe all with money left to make and the first four specifically have been very good on field scorers the last few weeks. I was initially thinking about trading Rowe but he is getting games every week and now with his 81 he has a bit more cash to make. Is Warner the one to go? His three round average is lower than his BE now but he is also getting games, has a nice round 14 bye for a rookie, only needs another high score to regenerate cash and is scoring 60s. I think Berry even at only $209k is the one I will definitely move on from, he doesn't look like a decent cash generator but the other rookie to trade out, really unsure. Warner seems to be the best in terms of his value seemingly topping out but it comes at the expense of relying on Scott on field to keep on scoring 60s and Rowe to not produce spud scores again. Not sure which one to move on from.

Every premium at this price or higher has a similar BE with the exception of Lyons 104, MacRae is 179 for example. So I don't see why trading out the No1 fwd by a mile is a great idea unless you believe he is injured and so won't average 95 from here.

Personally, I doubt Rowe makes much more than $10k from here despite the 81. I would be much happier taking Warner into the byes with Sydneys cushy run, than Rowe with the Crows very tough run. Rookie scoring ability will be key in round 12. I'm doing Rowe to Poulter this week.

I tend to agree, Rowe could just as easily drop a 20 this weekend and not even hit his new BE. Warner whose floor seems to be a 60 is a much safer bet to carry through the byes. Cheers for solidifying what was already in mind.

Apologies @Spifflicator - why is a 95 avg relevant?

Anyone averaging 95 or more from here, in the forward line, is a jet and IMO a hold or trade in target. Less than that and you might actually save enough to warrant the trade, but in a season of carnage, especially up fwd, I dont see enough value to warrant the risk.

mmm wonder what the injury is ?

looked terrible on Saturday night watching the game , hopefully his SC scores return quickly , no spare trades for luxury trades at this stage , everything is based on rookie downs and ups the next 6 rounds.

Looks like more Highmore non-selection pain for us owners

I hadn't looked into it in great detail yet. By no means will I trade him if I can't justify it, and from a first look, I don't know that I can. Not ruling it out though and thought it might still be worth thinking about.

Last 3 games for Ziebell with Hall fit (Rd 4, 7, 8) he is averaging 106, 16 less than his season average. Hall is 117 through these 3. Some argument Hall is taking some of his points?

Yeah, there's not much else in terms of forward options, think Ziebell is a definite keep still, but if you had sufficient trades (I don't), you could probably trade him out and bring him back cheaper later for a profit.
