Anyone thiking of trading J.Jordon this week? Has a BE of 80 and up against a Dogs midfield who usually get the bulk of the points.
Ideally I don't want to trade him but considering it at the moment. Pity Dees vs. Dogs is the first game of the round!
I actually am because I'm targeting a mid and it would be a r14 mid anyway and my only other ripish guys are Warner who I'd have to close my DPP to use and who is only in my team still because I need him through the byes or Flynn (close two DPP, extra cash, Reeves looks a decent target).

In general though I'd say he's kind of the last resort and I don't really want to trade him still, best bye for a rookie and been scoring great with probably the best JS of any rookie right now so he's kind of the perfect rookie for the next 3 weeks and at this point the on field points are probably worth more than 15k if he does drop. He has scored over 80 in 4 of his last 5 games.

A friend of mine is interested in this questions also 😬
I mean if you think he's the best option, why not?

I'd check your bye situation though and question if he's the best fit there given the quantity of r14 defenders floating around in sides.

My forward line needs urgent attention.

Which way, if either of the below options, would you go, guys? Probably not sensible to bring in Hall a week before his bye (and I'm still nervy about him), but I'd probably rather go budget in the forward line.

Could easily do an Option 3: just Scott to Bolton, or Scott to Zorko... and bring another forward in after their bye. Do we think Bolton will come back firing? Are there any other forwards I should consider?

Current "Forwardline": Ziebell, Impey, Martin, Bergman, Poulter, Scott, Atu B, Treacy

I have Clug, love what he's done since I grabbed him but I'd be steering clear of him at top price with Neale and Berry due back very soon.

Left field option for mine is Parish. Lefter field is Libba. Touk also a very strong option and probably the safest.

Much prefer option 1 if desperate. Both Hall and Bolton could easily match Zorko from here, especially with Neale and Berry back soon (maybe).

Dale, Hind, Heeney and Sidey also make a lot of sense as options.

Fellow non-Dusty owners, are we grabbing him this week?

Those like me who grabbed Hall over him last week were scoffed at, but it's worked out well on the BE front.

I'm torn between strengthening my not so great midfield with Walsh vs grabbing a very nicely priced Dusty with a good draw from here.
Non dusty owner, maybe for an extra $13k you could invest in Jack, far more exciting and entertaining, chases the ball both ways and can kick multiple goals and lays a few tackles. 😜
