Agreed I think he should hold his price throughout the byes, and barring injury or 'managed' his JS is better than any rookie you could bring in. I plan to hold through byes and be one of the final upgrades.

Speaking of - any ideas on Khamis' JS? Is he keeping someone else's spot warm?
Dogs have alot of guys that are clearly in their best 22 to come back into the side, Khamis probably bought himself a week or two but there's no guarantees any further than that for mine and he has a horrible bye for most teams.

1 up 1 down for me probably

Thinking Cogs and Rowell out, but perhaps should focus on getting the likes of JHF upgraded. Currently on field rookies are Daicos, Martin and S Hayes. My scores have been dragged down by the likes of Whitfield, Ryan, Coniglio and Rowell, so thinking to turn them into premos is the highest priority

Hawthorn
Daicos -> Sinclair
Rachele -> khamis

Leaves 20 trades

Keeping cogs, can see him putting up 80s and 90s after everyone trades him

Rookies left on field are Martin and mcartin

Mid pricers left on field are cogs Blakey and I guess butters and preuss
or put our a score like 41... ala stupid Whitfield

Think right now my preference is to hold those defenders through the byes and wait for better downgrade options to present themselves hopefully through the mid season draft, don't see much point downgrading to guys with terrible byes that either have terrible injury history,questionable job security or scoring potential, got enough rookies already in the side that are next to useless for me.

Is khamis a better option than Rory Thompson?
Am I the only one that doesnt think either is a great option? Just feels like we are settling for more average selections just because they are there at the right time.

Round 13 byes, Thompson has virtually missed 4 years of footy and is always going to be 50/50 at best to get through week to week in reality and doesn't have great scoring potential these days anyway.

Khamis is a pretty raw key position player that took 3 goals to get to 66, theres going to be plenty of days where he struggles to get to 40, not to mention English,Bruce,Hannan,Weightman,Garcia,Johannisen and Wallis all return to that forward line mix within about a month and are probably all picked ahead of him at this point.

I think trading Cogs will put you on the right Track :cool:
Cogs has done his job really and the longer you keep him the more hes just going to tank in value at this point, dont really see why a new coach would throw a guy that's nearly 29 back in the midfield either, feels alot more likely that hed keep giving opportunities to their younger mids to me.

I completely agree - I almost think it's better to downgrade to a DPP floating donut that can be used for loopholes. If you're going to end up with a non playing player that has made next to no cash, at least lean into it and get one with flexibility and a useful fixture!

Floating donuts is not something I would personally do at least until after the bye rounds, especially when Covid and the Flu are ripping through the clubs, need as many guys playing as possible right now.

History shows (someone did the analysis in prior year) that after about round 8-9, the quality of rookies falls away sharply in terms of money making and JS.

There is always a small few who do well, like Brambles last year.

Maybe with less debuts this year, there is a better tail coming through.

We are settling for average selections, just a question is if the next batch is below average.

agree on Kharmis, probably 40-50 many weeks, seem to offer more that JUG and Bruce is about a month away. Weightman longer. O'Brien maybe forward maybe back, English back probably means Sweet out.

Any update on where Bont and Bailey are tracking on fwd status post round 9. Both were 37% prior with 55% and 44% CBA's, yet that doesn't mean much when stoppages dominate the numbers.

Yeap, and he was just awful on the weekend.

Steele injury might force me to keep him.

Who are these better downgrade options? Charlie Dean? Will Kelly? Josh Worrell? Matt McGuinness? Sam Skinner? Will Gould?

I don't know how we can reasonably expect these guys to come in and start pumping out better scores than Khamis & Rory Thompson...

Too much cash to be holding if you mean holding McCartin, SDK etc, there’s no other rookies coming
