Lads!
Hopefully not a repeated topic but can we please talk about the Bulldogs midfielders and their potential impact for the rest of the season?
At the conclusion of this round (following tonight's Adelaide vs. St.Kilda match), Bailey Smith will be priced approximately $413k. There will likely be a lot of people who trade him in as an easy decision and that's fine. However, for the rest of us who are scarce on trades, the question is...is it actually worth bringing him in long term wise?
The Bulldogs other key midfielders and their common positions they may rotate in (please correct me if I've got any of these wrong or if I've missed someone!):
Macrae --> mid/wing
Bont --> mid/forward
Hunter --> mid/wing??
Libba --> mid/forward??
Dunkley --> mid/forward
When Dunkley returns (in about 4-5 weeks time?), would he slot straight back into the mids? Or would he spend some time up forward to get back up to the speed of the game?
Regardless, with Hunter & Dunkley back in the team every week and assuming no other injuries, would there be a negative impact on Smith's scoring output/average?
Hey
@Rowsus! If we were to bring in Bailey Smith this week, what would he need to average from here on till the end of the season for it to be considered a "good" trade?
Cheers!
