Gee Whitfield to Bowey is a ballsy move even if Whitfield is carrying. I think really, depending how deep you bat in defence it needs to be Whitfield to a premium but that's just my structure.
I do see why people are looking at that Berry/McGov/Chapman to Bowey trade - I'm not sure I'm as bullish as others but for me there's money tied up in those guys that doesn't need to be. None have shown they have the potential to make $150k that's for sure.
Do you see Hewett as a premium?
When assessing all the in's, the way I see it and please correct me:
Hewett - Cerra will eat away, did plays a cooler role for a little while on Bont, didn't hugely impact his scoring. Cooler vs Tagger roles look to be large difference in scoring for all players involved. Less CBA's may see him be 100 player. Probably ok if you have space still for Hall and his friends at the top end.
Bowey - 150 ensure fast track on initial capital gain, scoring from here though are what you get and impact his ability on whether he maxes at 350k or 400k.
Heeney - limited CBA's yet seems to be scoring well, bags of goals since preseason. Did notice he lined up on wing too, Swans fast scoring mode and chaos attack helps him. Papley back could help his midfield time.
Brayshaw - had strong 2H to last season and good start, form better or benefits from Fyfe out of the team through these two periods. Gun player who will keep getting better, does he get more attention. Is he top 8?
Ginnivan - looks like Bowey, could be 60-70 player most weeks and should make $150k. Tail risk in scoring still key to final value unless he can knock out another big score. Many forget Tex had two large scores last year then backed up a third to go from $300k to $480k.
Cripps - looks amazing, will get attention which like Neale, does reduce their scores, yet his style and with support now, should wear it better. Has Walsh which will be interesting to see late in season who gets the attention.
Skinner - really disappointed as would have gone early on him for Chapman which helps a fwd upgrade. Played forward apparently in last quarter, any views on him. Started on Mitch Lewis who did well (vs everyone who played on him).
Jackson - went big on Gold Coast last year, is Gawn lacking a bit of fitness which may benefit Jackson early in season.
