Cavarra vs. King ?

Better perceived scoring potential vs. better perceived JS ?

With 30 trades for the 17 round season now, if this one where we could allocated a potential correct trade to and go with the SP over the JS?

Completely agree and I’ve gone Cavarra over King myself as a result

What's everyone's opinion on Zach Guthrie from Geelong?
Good JS? He played both marsh games and named on-field...

Bedford v Anderson?

I'm inclined to stick with Anderson, despite the price and ****ty March series scoring, because I can be pretty damn certain he isn't getting dropped and he's still likely to score more than a random small forward.

Bedford probably goes out for Jones or Salem, whereas Anderson will score ok playing a bit on the wing and has much better JS

B.Williams now my R3 due to not being named with Xerri now becoming McAsey.
I expect there will be a lot of pressure on Starcevich's spot going forward. Ah Chee missed this round with a "head cold".
McInerney and Brown were surprise packets too this round but their spots will also be under some pressure. Fingers crossed but I can see some "loopholes" automatically presenting between those three.

Good luck all whichever way you all swing but for me I want as many playing rookies on my bench as possible.
I’ve got McAsey on my back bench as well. Wanted Budarick on field up forward so have moved Starcevich to the mids. The Pittonet idea is interesting, I’m about 20k shy of being able to set it up.

Keen for any crows supporters thoughts on Billy Frampton?
Not a crows man but watched every game he has played, he dominated the SANFL with some big bags and is handy 2nd ruck especially with not much else other than Himmelberg there. He is very aggressive and over the top in the past so does concede a free here and there or 50m Penalty. He and Fogarty are similar in their aggression but hopefully for every owner's sake a new environment and little more maturity at 23 he can just show some form for a side that will struggle a bit. In fact he actually kicked 6 against Adelaide on Otten/Fogarty when they trialled him in the backline.

Is Xerri playing this week? I’m going to trade to Pittonet next week, so open to having a non-player this week who may be a scorer going forward...
Xerri is emergency.
But would take an injury or shocker game to push out one of Brown or Larkey I think. Unless they decide to go three big men up forward.

Anderson. Don't have him myself, but just have a gut feeling we could see him be a pretty decent rookie that not too many will be on, he'll show more scoring potential than he did in the Marsh, I'm sure of that, the kid is class.
