Final trade spent on Bolton= 98 points for an average of 49.
Alternatives I considered:
R Marshall- Initially selected until the Covid news broke and reversed said trade. Would have involved a donut since neither Coleman-Jones or Treacy played last round. 60 points ahead.
T Thomas- Recent acquisition in my draft side this preseason and was hesitant considering the lack of 100+ scores and lacking dual position status. 172 points (Treacy filling in to avoid a donut) and 74 points ahead.
T Hawkins- Cautious considering I already owned Daniher and Heeney up forward as well as the lack of top line premiums I possessed, given I needed to find value to complete my side. 189 points and 89 points ahead.
S Sidebottom- For a fleeting moment I considered him but given I had enough cash to grab a forward around the $450,000 range it did not seem worthwhile. 232 points and 134 points ahead.
Heck, keeping Martin and playing F Macrae for the past fortnight over Bolton would have given me an extra 17 points.
Injury to Martin provided a perfect opportunity to reduce the amounts of Tigers to the recommended maximum (1) and I was not overly happy with Bolton given his reliance on hitting the scoreboard and a low possession winner given the Tigers game style.
