Day is such an interesting one. Form and role looks good, so on the one hand it's a potential D6 at $450k. But unproven in this role over a period of time and injury prone - with the number of trades invested in fixing injuries, it might not be the best move to bring in a risky player that has unproven upside. Especially when someone like Sicily is ~$80k more, and Sinclair not ~+$90k.
I think I've changed my mind and I'm leaning towards passing on him and going for either Sicily (have Sinclair already), or potentially paying up a bit more for Walsh or another prem mid.
Also slightly cooling on Day partly due to Nash and Newcombe doing well in his absence, more is his CBA's going to 50% or more like his last game 80%. Did look impressive vs Geelong and Nash did have 60% CBA's in Day's last game. Worpel and Newcombe seen as the more hybrid mid/fwds. Price attractive and defender 5-6 hard to pick.
Do we still this Hawks were crazy getting rid of Tom Mitchell and JOM? Last two games they have been competitive.
OUT: McKenna, L Jones, Ashcroft
IN: Coniglio, Day, Mitchell
Lots of love for Cogs post his 130, bit similar to game one. what happened vs Ess and Eagles. DE's were ok vs ESS, tackle count down.
This makes it tricky as you need to find a spot for any FWD upgrades in the Mids or move Sheezle/JZ to DEF, partly why I let Hawkins go this round.
A good problem nevertheless in that there's no rush to move them on unless they're the very last Rookie you need to get off the field.
Anyone feel the FOMO of trading out rookies is dissipating quickly. Greene, JVR and Chandler the engine room for cats generation right now + Esava (who would have said that round 1-2).
Defenders stalling for me with Stocker, McKenna, Jones and Cowan. Mids Pou, Holland and Cashcroft closer to topping out, yet will sit on last two for consistency.
Number of sides running low on good bench rookies, even a season starting Madden over Samson is looking costly. Subject to the odd good rookie coming along in runs 8-10, side could look very different for those who can keep upgrading. Looking forward to the byes when my boosts are refreshed given the last one will be used this week!
Been costly having Bruhn, Flanders, Callaghan (although improving), Fyfe, Stewart, DC, Gawn, Touk and Amartey. At least Roberts has DPP usefulness, hopefully MJ keeps getting a game although has Cowan like scoring power.
Sheezel watch is going to be interesting this week, BE could be 100.
Trades
Touk maybe to Walsh/Serong
Jones does to Seamus Mitchell
Mckenna up to Day/JDG type priced player
