Bont to one of Titch/Neale is really starting to take my fancy. They are absolute disposal machines.

I am looking at bringing in either Mitchell or Dangerfield.

My concerns are:
  • Mitchell has had a significant injury and the potential affect from a long layoff / Hawthorn taking a conservative approach
  • Dangerfield last couple of games have not set the world on fire BE 155

I've gone Mitchell, 25 touches first up in round 1 from 89% tog, shortened quarters will suit, if Hawthorn were going to manage him after that game, he's had a significant break to alleviate any niggles or hotspots. Being the professional he is and support from the club during the break I'm confident he's more than ready for his afl X return. ?

Bont had a terrible round 1 but he's actually the type of player you want to trade in. If I didn't have him I'd be licking my lips but otherwise reluctantly hold.

Right now I’m thinking I’ll have a spare trade to move him to Neale. Looking at it as a sideways move to protect myself from a couple of nasty taggers over the next few weeks.

Neale looks primed to start red hot from the QLD hub.

Going to be hard to ignore that quick cash generation........I'll admit I really don't feel comfortable bringing him in but fills a need this season early.
Yes Agreed. Side trade to Tich, easy looks good on the screen or to Viney, cash in the bank looks good but uneasy feeling in my guts.

@Connoisseur would it be possible to get Isaac Heeney's heat map/possession map?

Casting my mind back to Round 1, I recall he didn't actually spend that much time in the midfield specifically. These thoughts were backed up when I checked the Swans CBA stats, where they only used 4 midfielders through there in Kennedy, Parker, Florent and Rowbottom.
