Never watched Brodie closely before but did yesterday. Can see he is very good in a stoppage situation but his ability to spread needs work. This was compounded by the heat and by the end of Q3 and start of Q4, he was barely jogging after a stoppage. I believe this is why he spent a lot of time on the bench during the last quarter and I’m speculating here but if I was JL, I’d rather have guys who are able to physically play their role for the team in such a tight contest, especially in terms of applying pressure/tackling and providing an option around the ground.
Also, I think quite a few players tend to blow up in the early rounds - might be nervous energy and not pacing themselves as well as they might later in the year.

Mine says Steele out for Rowell 
Mine says Gawn for Hayes
The AI looks at trades that are currently happening and applies to your team.
Is this a consideration, absolutely. Although Berry to Martin can get Chapman to Hewett if I really wanted to go down that path, just maybe others are not doing that trade. Give it another week, I may do Dixon to Preuss.
He spent 20min of the last quarter on the bench and scored 90% of his points in the first three quarters. With a close game, expect Q4 scoring was doubled and the first three quarters are scaled back from 75% to 60% off the scoring. Unadjusted it may have been closer to 85 points. Just my take - own him as well.
DO WE TRADE THIS WEEK - Put your hand up if you brought Tex Walker in last year...................in round 2! I did Neale to Tex in round 3, Tex wasn't even a consideration into round 2. Week 2 moves prices more, injuries can happen in round 2, two data points are a trend, one is not and this year we have trade boost.
Had my eye on Davies throughout the game. Went alright in Q1 and early Q2 but then went missing for nearly an hour. Was on 60 points with about 5 minutes to play before kicking a goal and helping set up another. Still had plenty in the tank by the looks. Really good finish to the game and probably scaled for it.
Having said that, he looks really good. Tallish, rangy dude with a bit of toe and agility. Doesn't take a backwards step either. Can't see him spending much time on the inside yet but will definitely go when it's his turn. It's a pity he's not 123k as he would be good to pick up just to watch. I do wonder if he will be able to maintain a 75 average for 7 weeks though. Is one of the guys (along with Durdin) I'll be watching closely this week.

Definitely not expecting Rachele to put in that kind of score on the reg but he looks a rippa player and will make cash quick with that first score, even though it drops out first. Ward also looks like a great player but that was a poor first score so just chasing the cash gen with this trade. Don’t think I can get Rachele in next week if I need to deal with other issues, but certainly not committed to the trade. Berry out may change things. Thanks for the feedback, I think using trades before price changes is gonna be pretty important this year, then be a bit conservative until cash cow culling season.

Yeah agreed, strong in the contest and clean too. Mine was more a comment on his tank, especially later in the game. I think his tank was one of the question marks about him during his draft year and perhaps why he hasn’t played as much footy as he could have. Looks like there’s still a bit of work in that area.
The potential to be a good player (and fantasy relevant) is there. Reckon he makes a nice tandem with Fyfe but will be interesting to see it play out. Hope he does well, got him for a reason!
