Need some wise words Rowsus! Keep or trade Enright? With a knock to the ankle and his age I think he won't average 90 from here while Grimes looks good. Would love your thoughts mate!

Keep Enright. Grimes' next injury can't be far away! :)

Hi Rowsus

I want to loophole Dunstans 143. Should I bench Polec or Tyson?

Thanks

Hey Rowsus, not sure how you'd calculate it but is it worth trading in Kelly for Michie assuming Michie will play next week?

My current mid setup is: Ablett, Watson, Cotchin, Beams, Tyson, Polec, Ellis, Dunstan (Michie, M.Crouch)

This would mean one of Polec/Ellis/Dunstan would be benched every week.

Is it worth using 40k and a trade to get a rookie who may average ~95?

I'm in the same situation. But I also have Cunnington to consider. Still toss of a coin.
Benching Cunnington shouldn't be an option. He shouldn't be in your team if you are considering benching him.

Are you changing you PIT calculations for defenders? PIT50?
LOL, I see where you are coming from, but it is actually a season average you need to look at.
Yes, early in the season, the potential is there for them to be only worth 50, but as the season rolls on, and your team gets stronger, you hope that your bench cover also gets stronger. I could use a rolling scale, PIT50 rounds 1-8, PIT65 rounds 9-15, PIT70 rounds 16-23. I'm just lazy, and settled on 65. The great thing about the system is, that everyone can set their own level. You may PIT50 your Defs, but PIT85 your Mids. As we each use our own assessment, it helps seperate our judgements just that little bit more.
Have a rep for your good observation. :)

(when I can give you one again!)

What are your thoughts on Kelly?

I was thinking of swinging Taylor into F6 and dropping Caddy to Kelly.
That means I will go from playing Caddy+Ellis/Dunstan to Kelly+Taylor.

Not sure if its worth a trade, but I think Kelly will be one of the highest scoring rookies and Caddy isn't really impressing

Hey dyii,
the question is more of an assessment Michie's JS, then assessing Kelly's scoring potential.
If Michie comes back, and scores 70-75, he will make you about 150k.
To use a trade to go from him to Kelly, you need Kelly to make about 300k, which means Kelly needs to average around 100!
Don't judge him on today, it was only Melbourne!
So, if you think Michie is nearly done, and will struggle to get back, it is an ok, trade, but only ok.
If you think Michie will come back, and get 70's, it's a bad trade.

It's a possibility, if you think Caddy will continue to disappoint, it might be ok.
Don't forget when assessing Kelly, it was only Melbourne today!

G'day Rowsus, looks like Lobbe isn't working out, reckon the Mumford boat has sailed, thoughts on a sideways trade to NicNat? Didn't like his second half fade out the other night, not sure of his fitness yet but at ~$480k, can almost do a straight swap.

I am considering Hurn to Hooker who has started well. Have am curious if Hooker has just started well or he has had a slight role change. I would then use the cash to upgrade Rohan to Caddy or Jackson Merrett. I am not convinced of Ambrose although I know he will go up in $. If Hooker goes on with it I keep him. If not I am happy to trade him up later.

Any thoughts or alternatives in the back line?????
Rowsus, Rowsus, Rowsus. Last Monday I wrote to you as above. Did I trade to Hooker? Yes I did. Did I trade to Merrett? No. I traded in Lachlan Hunter.

Hunter did okay but as always it was a case of "off goes your head and on goes a pumpkin". Merrett interested me because Bomber as asked on the AFL website pre season who he thought could have a breakout season this year. His answer was Jackson Merrett. Too late now.

What do I do with Luey? Hasn't set the world on fire against some average rucks. Alarm bells ringing!

The Dawson Simpson/HMac combo is not average. But yeah dump him. West is really biting into his scoring. I'd get NicNat if I were you.

Was thinking more along the line on Nicholas when I said average.
NicNat looks good, but Im thinking I'll wait another week or 2 till he drops more in price and make the swap (stole that from Jock Reynolds but I'm claiming it). Might even make no trades this week! Imagine that!

Rowsus, just wondering if you could shed some light or tell me I'm dreamin :rolleyes:

It is just me, or do there seem to be more 'massive' player scores over the last three rounds compared to last year?

Perhaps I am forgetful, but 150 used to be huge and you would only see a couple of those a week. This week we have had:
GAJ - 182
Treloar - 176
Mummy - 164
Rocky - 155
Libba - 154
And 9 more players 130+

Round 1 - 130-139 = 8 players
140-149 = 6 players
150-157 = 4 players

Round 2 - 130-139 = 3 players
140-149 = 2 players
150-159 = 3 players
Zorko = 161
Boomer = 169
Pendles = 182

Now if they deserve it, then sure happy for big points to be awarded. But for 18/11/14 players to go 130+ in the last three rounds smells of something has changed in how points are awarded...

Hi Rowsus,

What to do with Michael Walters? I've used 4 trades so far too so don't want to burn too many more but ...

There's only so much fail a Coach can take, you know?
