Hey Rowsus, what do you think of Adams>Bont?

I do consider Adams to be a solid candidate for F5 or F6 at an average of 95 is for the season, but considering Bont's form, it could very possibly be that by paying an extra 50k I am getting myself a F1 or F2

And what are your thoughts on Alex Rance
Haha, I 2nd these.
I have Adams too but am looking at Bont (obviously) and a possible Hibberd-Rance...Hibberd as a non-contested player just doesn't look scoring-favourable.
Adams to Bont really comes down to what your expectations are for each from here going forward. Adams hasn't been a bad pick so far, but obviously Bont has been better...... up till now. You need to draw a line under those 2 rounds, and calculate what you expect from each from here.
There have been 18 x 3,300 = 59,400 points so far this season, and 12,320 disposals. In very simplistic terms, that means every disposal is worth about 4.8 SC points. Adams has 54 disposal so far, for 173 SC points (3.2 SC/Dis). 54 x 4.8 = 259, so it is reasonable to say he has been fairly harshly graded so far. He has 29 CP's in his 54 disposals, which is well over 50% (elite), his DE is down at 56% (poor, even for someone with a high CP/Dis), and he has 13 clangers (really high!). I guess the question you ask is, which of these figures continue, and which change? I can see him maintaining a 25-27/game Dis rate. I think his CP/Dis may go backwards to around, or just under 50%, but I can see his DE improving to mid 60's, and his clanger Count dropping from the nearly 25% it is now. In short, unless he is given too many run with roles with Macaffer out, you could see him without much trouble lifting his output to say 25 x 3.8/dis = 95/game. To spend $50k and a trade to axe him to the Bont, I'd want to have an expectation that the Bont will be a 105+ player from here to the end of the season!
That's a bit higher than my expectation for him, but it may be within your expectations. Also, you may expect Adams to be more 85-88 than 95, if that is the case, you only need an expectation on the Bont to be say 100/game from here.

As to Rance, he has always shown the ability to score like this from time to time, and has been very consistently just inside, or just outside the top 8-10 Defs. Don't get seduced by 112 and 156 though. They were against Forward lines that had no strong Key Forward targets for him to mind. He's not going to be able to run off the likes of inexperienced players like Tom Boyd each week, and continue to score at 5.8 SC/Dis. He's a solid high 80's average type of guy, and I can't see him doing any better than low 90's at the very best, from here to the end of the season. A sideways trade to him would really seem like a huge waste of a trade.

Cheers mate that's exactly what I needed to see, at least we know where's he's at now. How long is it predicted until Dawson/Silvagni is back?
No worries mate, I think unfortunately from what I have read/heard, we are looking at at least 4 more weeks...make of that what you will

Hey Rowsus, curious on your thoughts on Mundy as an Ablett replacement. Role seems very friendly, resting across half back instead of forward like most gun midfielders. Already have fyfe and Pendles sharing that bye but quite intrigued to see how you see his season playing out. Cheers mate.

Hmm not ideal at all, will have to ride it out I guess, hopefully he can keeps getting 75 minimum before he's freed up again

Hey Rowsus

Hope you had a great weekend.

I'm tinkering with my final corrective trades for the round. I traded out Gaz and Lumumba last week for JPK and Smith and I'm looking to dump Newnes and Cripps. I have around $40k in the bank (not a lot).

I'm firm on the Bont for Cripps and I'm strongly considering Roberton for my backline. He is on the bubble and is projected to increase by $35-40K. I expect him to average 75-80 ppg for the rest of the season (not a keeper but cash cow with good scoring potential IMO). He averaged 75 in 2013 and 2014 average is low but he was injury riddled and only played a few games back to back.

I'll cut to the chase, what are your thoughts on Roberton? Do you think he can average 75 - 80 ppg from now until the byes?

Thanks in advance

Hey Row,

Would I be giving up too many points if I traded out Ablett and Miller for Hogan and NVB?, remembering I still have Rocky on bench.
It would give me $570,00 in kitty to use in the coming weeks. Would you consider hanging on to Ablett also?
My team link is working if you want to have a peek.

Cheers mate.

Hey Juzzo

I know the question was not directed at me, but holding Rocky up until the byes is a lot of cash tied up. Have you contemplated trading out Ablett and Rocky for two premos or a premo and a cash cow (E.g. VB)?

Hey Rowsus,

Pretty average start for me.
With Bartel a late out and Broadbent getting hit early, Ablett, and not getting Oxley on the field (not to mention poor capt. choice in Selwood) I need to look at improving my side.
Rookie wise it's not too bad apart from say Miller, an injured Lambert, Goodes and a non playing Cripps (hopefully will be back next game)
Apart from NVB I have the most decent Rookies in my side. Should I still chase NVB? I personally think I should just let him slide and concentrate in other areas.
Brought in JPK for Rocky last week and now it's time to offload Ablett.
Still yet to get Pendles in so I am thinking Ablett to Pendles and will leave me just enough cash to go Goodes to Docherty who I nearly had , like yourself from the start.
Do u see this as the right move? Or should I , like everyone else look to get 'The Bont' in??
I already have a Bulldog in Wallis who has started well for me so I am thinking I might have to let Bont go.
Any suggestions appreciated
Hey Slammer,
If you are happy with your Rookies, I don't think you have to chase NvB. I like you am hoping Cripps is back next week, and I honestly think he will be. I think those that have traded him out already have acted too hastily, though if he's green vested this week, I might chop him too.
As to Bont v Doch, I'd simply take the one you are backing to score the highest from here. I can't see why having Wallis should impact your Bont decision. One is a Mid Stepping Stone with limited life in your 22, the other is being seen as a Fwd Keeper. The Bont hasn't been tested against good opposition yet, but if he burns this week, we have wasted $60k, or worse still, missed possibly our last opportunity until the byes to get him, if he looks that good. Back your opinion between the two, but if you can't split them, you need to take Bont. He has more potential to become hard to get/unobtainable than Docherty. The Pendles move seems like the right move, pending this weeks X Ray results.

Hi Rowsus.

Brett Goodes?

I already have McIntosh, Saad and Oxley and I won't have the money to get to a keeper. Worst case scenario is that he is the sub again and starts losing money and the doggies play Sunday so most of my options have already played.

First question: Nathan Brown versus a mid pricer? Bruce, Laird, Hunt, Shenton, Roberton, Ramsay.

Second question: if he gets dropped is there any value using him as a loophole until I get a trade I'm happy with or do I just take one of the options available to me now even if they aren't ideal?

Thanks.
Hi freowho,
if your trades aren't needed elswhere this week, I think I'd move Goodes on this week. As you suggest, the risk is high, and he's an expensive loophole agent.
You either go down to Brown, with an eye to using him as a Keeper, as in Keep him on the bench, and at least you have cover there just about the whole season. Of your other options, I'd pick between Roberton or Hunt. Both have a big range in their scoring, they could go 120 one week, and 40 something the next. Hunt actually reminds me a lot of Ellis of 2012. He might get negative roles now and then, or off the leash now and then. With these players with big ranges, you really need to be sharp on trading them out. They can very quickly hand back a chunk of their profit, with one bad BAD score. Bruce I'm a bit unsure on, and he doesn't strike me as the type that will give us that type of score again too frequently. Even his big score in this Round was more one quarter, than a game effort. I've just got a feeling while they are up and down, Hunt in particular and Roberton will give you more going forward.
As to picking between Brown and say Hunt, I reckon it's too early to be conservative. At this stage of the season it's "go hard, or go home", so I'd say Hunt.

Rowsus, love the dedication you put into the website mate.

Quick question. Which trade would you prefer out of (1)Touk Miller to NVB (current mid rookies are Heeney, VDB, Anderson, CEY, T Miller and * D Rich) or (2) TBC to Bont? (forward line atm is TBC, Buddy, Swannie, Dusty, Salem, Hogan, M Clarke and Lambert)

Current rucks are Nic Nat and Goldy. Option 1 seems like the best long term move for cash generation, option 2 has more risk/reward. Do you see any rookie rucks getting a game a bit later on, ie Nankervis?
Daicos1977, thanks for that. :)
I think I'd prefer option 1. That's a genuine corrective, where as the other is a shift in planning/tactics. TBC was taken for coverage purposes, and was a considered risk. You were trying to avoid Ruck donuts. What is your plan, if NicNat misses Rounds 5 and 6? Especially if it is forecast as a 1 week out, and turns into 2! Generating cash would seem a better option than changing well considered plans.

Hey Rowsus

I did ok last week however i feel i need to make a few changes to my squad. I dont normally like hitting the trade button this early on in the season but i feel i need to. My main aim is to win my money league. I currently have ablett, cripps and b goodes in my team that are becoming a liability.

i dont know much about cripps other than he pulled out of the match due to a sore back. Is it worth trading cripps to vb or is it best to save a trade?

goodes seems to be my other liability as he was a sub however i believe he played in the midfield when he came on but i could be wrong. do you think its worth trading b goodes to a rookie like brown. i have ox, mcintosh, saad at the moment. my feeling is to keep b goodes unless he doesnt play this week.

the main issue that i have which i am in two minds is ablett. i recall eade saying on a radio show that ablett devloped frozen shoulder and he had hydrodiliation. frozen shoulder can take up to 2 years to recover. he doesnt look healthy and he is very limited with his movement. i am not saying he wont come good in the next 6 weeks however i dont want to take the risk and save a trade if he pulls out for the remainder of the season or misses games which is a small possibility. is it worth trading to someone like JPK or keeping ablett?
Hey Adrenaline,
as someone who has suffered through years of a frozen shoulder, I would agree, if that's what he's got he's not coming good soon. I think holding Ablett is far too great of a risk, when there is actually some value in trading him now. Someone like JPK is a great choice. As to Goodes, if you can't find a player in your price range that you like, I'd go down to Brown. There is no intention of Trading Brown out, but at least when you trade McIntosh/Saad/Oxley out, you will still have cover, even if it is only 50 points worth.

Just read this part and I'm now feeling comforted and at ease with my trading plans for the week :cool:

Morning Rowsus,

Was hoping I wouldn't need your advice this early but I've started the year terribly and fear my chances at top 1000 may already be gone. Therefore I want to trade smartly and perhaps take a little risk to get me back on track.

So, time for GAZ to go and I made a huge error in getting Clem Smith and Touk Miller. One or the other would've been ok but not both. Anyway, I'm moving Smith on for now (and GAZ). So questions.....

1/which rookie of NVB or Heeney - leaning towards NvB for JS.
2/can afford any premo, do I get JPK, Sloane, or risk Bont or Wines, both of whom I toyed with preseason
3/anyone I'm missing? Already have selwood, pendles, Fyfe, Neale and all other decent rookies.

Thanks mate!
Morning ****,
if I had to choose one of NvB or Heeney, I'd take Heeney. You get loose change, and he has the potential for higher profit, due to his lower buy-in price. I know there is potentially a JS - resting risk, but I think the dollars advantage outweighs that. I'd probably go to JPK for Ablett. He's playing well, and is bankable, where as the others are still on the speculative side. He's more likely to fill a M3/5 spot than the others, and it is good to fill them early. You already have a speculative cheap M8 in Neale.
I hope that helps.

Rowsus,

Thoughts on C Shenton as a trade in for B Goodes?

Regards,

CC
CC,
I'd rather go Hunt, or Roberton. Shenton's score seem a bit flattering for his output, which means he is more likely to fall back to lower scores.

Hey Rowsus,

Do you think it's worth a trade going from N.Brown -> Oxley?
Mainly from a cash generation standpoint as they would be D8 in my team.
Hey MarkM,
with a B/E of -74, Oxley looks like he is great to have. If Brown is your best option to get him, I suggest you do it. Brown is only good for coverage, but dollars are probably more important, if it is D8 we are talking about.
