Whats your thought on doc? Seems like carlton have a few players playing similar roles who are pinching points off each other. sadd, newman even mcgovern to an extent. Looks like more of a 95-100 player atm..
No real issues, not ideal to have a bad score in round 2 but he had 4 games under 90 last year (3 70s), he'll cancel them out with a couple of big scores.
He had probably a dozen times in the game his teammates could have gone him and they generally do. Basically he looked fine and scored badly.
On my list of problems right now, he's just about at the bottom of the list. Congratulations if he's near the top of yours
I get what you’re saying but I massively disagree with you saying the price doesn’t matter and that a mid pricer (eg Setterfield) and a $123k rookie are the same, cause they definitely aren’t, as:
1. The rookie has a much higher ceiling for potential cash gen. It’s not unreasonable for a rookie to push up to $300k from a $123k starting price, and the ability for them to do so is much more likely than the mid pricer making that level of cash.
2. The bar to be successful is much lower, as the rookie doesn’t need to hit 90-100 scores every week to make the money. Even your scenario for Setterfield requires some pretty best case scenario stuff.
3. The risks are far lower of a dud score derailing them completely. If Setterfield comes out and scores 60 this week his cash gen is destroyed and now it’s 2 trades for no benefit. While rookies can also fail, the range for them is much safer.
So if doing a correction trade after round 2, 10/10 times it should be to a missed rookie that is scoring well over a mid pricer. How many times have we see guys go 130+ for the first 2 games then revert to 80’s once everyone jumps on..
The only missing factor in this is the on-field aspect. If comparing say Chandler and Setterfield, one is producing very good on-field scoring and has a role that's likely to continue to do so while Chandler has quite possibly put up his two best scores.
If cash gen is the only factor then the Chandler type is a better play, if on field scoring is a factor, and it likely is at round 3, then that factor is definitely worth considering.
Basically it comes down to whether getting say 30 points on field is worth more than the extra 50-100k that the rookie is likely to make. Really depends on how long you're going to be fielding them for this.
