Definitely not worth the trade. O'Driscoll could come on early and score more than 60. There needs to be multiple streams of value from trades to get bench scores imo - make cash, dpp, C choice donut to play, rookie correction etc - and even then, they need high value.
Ratio is encouraging. There is a big score coming methinks. JS is ok particularly given the Hawks won!

Definitely encouraging signs , coaches slow the game down in the next few rounds in any case so it's just a matter of him (and other rookies) if they can adjust to the heat/pace/tempo of the game.
Not like their are cheap mid options screaming out "pick me , pick me" in any case.
Might be a slow burn and just hope for a couple of spike scores before trading him out.
Hawks still have a few Best 22 out though don't they ?

Exactly right , what works for others won't necessarily be the same for everyone else.
People missing Cripps , Heeney , Hewett
Do they get Hayes , MacDonald , Xerri (couple of others in similar price range) ?
Fix Gawn ?
3 trades might not be enough
Also possibly wait a round or 2 and see if Crisp & Lloyd are dropping in price

The way I see it is that Salem went down halfway through the first quarter and at that time Bowey was playing a similar role to what he played last season which was a blend of attack and defence. T Mac was deployed down back to play as close to Salem’s role as possible for the remainder of the match.
I expect that at training during the week Goodwin has spoken to Bowey and basically said “You’re the man coming out of defence while Salem is out. We are going to look to get the ball in your hands whenever possible and you’re going to play mostly loose”. The return of Rivers effectively meant he took over the role that Bowey played round 1.
The good thing is that Bowey absolutely smashed the new role first go so I can’t see why he can’t continue. We obviously saw his absolute ceiling last night but I think he’s capable of scoring well over the next 5-7 weeks making some nice cash until Salem returns.
