Anyone used Trade Assist?! Not the worst... haha Think I'll hold Crithp for now, and see where Wardy's foot comes up...
Mine said to trade Macrae to Rowell! There is usually some insane trading in the "perfect team" analysis at the end of the year.. maybe trade assist knows something...

Well done on your pick and the logic - but if you started Gawn trading him after 1 round is crazy. Picked him for a reason - and one 90 game doesn’t erase the history the young blokes are yet to establish. Something very similar happened last year and quickly went pear shaped @Herbie66 ? Makes things more interesting though.
I agree with you I should clarify that I meant as a round 2 trade more than anything would be hasty to trade now. I'm not saying definitely trade out Gawn but think it is an interesting thought to entertain if someone wanted to restructure because they felt Ward M8 or Hinge D5 was leaving them exposed.

I remember Houston a year or two ago was all the rage and didn't quite live up to the hype.

Don't remember him being discussed at all this preseason as a potential midpricer.

Anyone who watched the Port game, can you comment? Did he play through the midfield a lot?
I mentioned him in the preseason. Had him last year and think he could definitely work but the shoulder ruined his output so you need to keep your fingers crossed.

I think he is very much best 22/ good JS - don't pretend to be a suns expert though lol.

Seems like he has taken over Hugh Greenwood's role, suns have a very potent midfield that are great in their clearance work.
I've seen this mentioned alot, but is it even true?

Davies seems to be playing mostly as a forward and only attended 3 centre bounces yesterday. Greenwood spent more time in the middle than that, didn't he?

I think Rowell was out injured for much of the time Greenwood was at the suns so he has taken his spot at the centre bounces. Without looking at the stats, the main 4 combo I saw at the centre bounces were Witts/Miller/Rowell/Anderson. Chol gave Witts a chopout on occasions in the centre bounces, saw Davies in there a few times but didn't notice anyone else sorry.

Davies seemed to play mainly a high half fwd role that would push up into midfield for the stoppages/throw ins hence my reference to the Greenwood role. Certainly not afraid to throw his body around/ good size helps him in those contested footy situations.

Mine says Steele out for Rowell :ROFLMAO:
Mine says Gawn for Hayes ;)
I don't think these suggestions should be completely ignored. We have so much more information after 1 round although the game data is more important than the supercoach score. Role, time on ground etc.
An injured player or a dud rookie would be better sacrifices but what if everyone is doing their role and I don't have Rowell?

Mine says Dixon to Martin, which is hilarious because I made the opposite move with Hayes going berserk, and Berry to Rowell which I am already giving serious consideration.

Will Brodie's 23 possessions 9 contest with 8 tackles, 76%DE, 4 clearances and 3 free kicks only got him 76 points got me stumped 🤔
Well first of all those stats aren't right (not sure where you've pulled them from?), but he had 22 disposals, 5 tackles and 63% DE. More handballs than kicks never help with a low DE either.

Bit more on Davies:-

Alex Davies (Gold Coast)

Stuart Dew suggested in the pre-season that Davies could fill the role vacated by Hugh Greenwood, and he was certainly proved right on Sunday.

Playing just his second game of AFL footy, it wasn’t the weight of touches, but more so the way Davies used the footy that should see him locked in for the near future.

He only had 12 touches, but 10 of those were contested in his 70 per cent time on ground.

The 20-year-old also had numerous important and clean touches in the final term as Gold Coast stepped up, highlighting his composure with ball in hand.

Don't really disagree with anything said, but yeah it's probably decieving if you expect Davies to have the high-CBA midfield role Greenwood had last year when Rowell was injured.
