Walker looking very average IMO. I'd probably look elsewhere if I were you.
He's referring to Will Walker from North, not Taylor.

I'm happy to pay a premium for Tobe Watson after a price rise, but I'm not willing to spend 150k+ on a 2nd rookie - ruling Will Walker out for me.

Is Schoenberg the best of the cheaper rookies this week?

Wicks from Sydney, I didn't see game, but scored well, not sure about JS???

The $ should work out on these moves for me. Still kinda into the idea of selling Gawn should Draper look the business tho.

Gawn will be 725k with a BE of 240 and we now know there's a tear/issue there. I would have moved him last week had we known the results of scan.

Surprised for the lack of love for Shuey this week:

- Take out injury-affected 33 in R5, and he's averaging 110.5 from his other 6 games
- Already had his BYE
- B/E of only 45 (only played 2 games since injury game, scored 130 and 116)
- Oh yeah, and he's only $488k!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am I missing something?

Will probably need to go one up 2 down again, have $160k in the bank but the rookies I have available to cull aren't super high value or haven't peaked:

Noble
Budarick
Simpson
Rankine
Sturt
Rivers
Bennell

Depends on who you are targeting but shouldn't you be able to do

Rankine - > Rookie
Noble - > Premium
Simpson - > Premium

appears to plenty of viable options in the $ 450-500k bracket

I need Rankine to go up $2,800 for this to work. His BE was 76 and he scored 83 - please someone tell me this is enough for a $2.8k price rise??

He doesn't go over 120 much and Cripps , Bont, Gaff are probably better options.

I suspect he is not "brand" name enough for some.

Will be gladly welcoming him to my team although that will mean I will then likely have 4 Weagles players 😀

Outside of Pickett, Rankine and Georgiadas my rookie situation is dire. Problem is I’ve got the 3 mentioned + Williamson on field. Only 11 trades and 47k itb.

Need to look for value, and a player that has had their bye. Cripps looks to be the best option that fits that mould.

Bennell/McHenry to Schoenberg
Pickett to Cripps

Then decide if Williamson to Watson is worth it.

Will then do whatever I can to get a D6 in round 12 (hopefully Zac Williams) leaving Rankine/Georgiadas as my only rookies on field.

I just wonder with 8 rounds to go (3-4 of which will probably be Best 18 rounds) whether instead of trying to fork out top dollar for a 100 + player in D & F , it might be worthwhile aiming a bit lower for a 90+ player , only 10 points difference per game.

Similar to when looking at 110 mids their might be better value in going for a 100 point player.

I guess it depends on how we structure our teams moving forward from now and try and target players from the 8 teams that would have had their bye (obviously no guarantee they still don't get managed/rested on the run home)

Might not actually need the D6 & F6 scoring in Best 18 rounds.

Hope that kinda makes sense.
