I've had him from the start, and he's been frustrating - and I chose him over Adams for his bye, so that was a bust.
At the same time I think now that Richmond face some tougher opponents - ie. yesterday - his scoring will be higher, so from that perspective its probably not a bad time to bring him in. There'll be a lot more ball down there, and he looked good yesterday playing something closer to his old role.

Wow this reads very nicely. I went early on Heeney blindly on a hunch that the swans will pull up stumps and look ahead to the future. Using the term pull up stumps very very loosely there i might add but it was a long way back from 0-5 i thought which is now 0-6!
Bahaha if only he was a R/F!
I'm a little unsure what i'll be doing this week, Nank's pending suspension will probably dictate what i do most likely. Is anyone considering moving him on if he goes for 2?

If you have coverage I would hold. I have Nanks and Greene and if both get done I will have to play a donut this week in my forward line (also have Eddy). I going Hampton/Parfitt to EVW/Heeney.
Main reason being I have enough dollars in the bank to go Ottens/SPP to Adams/Pendles the following week.
Sometimes you need to take a small hit in points one week to go forward the next.

Nank is currently sitting in R1 after my Spencer trade debacle so no cover unless Cameron is named which sounds like a small possibility this week.
My eventual plan was to move him back into my forward line but if he's out for 2 i'll either move him on or bring in a premo ruck if i can get the numbers to work and sit him on my fwd bench.
The problem is the only rucks i want are Stef and Mummy who i can't afford. Grundy i'm a little less keen on while Cox gets games and no one else really appeals apart from maybe McEvoy. Giles could be an option if Vardy is out for an extended period like they're reporting but i'd probably prefer to just do a full upgrade and cull a cow early.

Heeney went for 75 and Hibberd 90
My question particularly on Heeney is do you need to take the value punt right now or can you wait and see if in fact he does score like a keeper (noting you used the term "keeper" rather than "premium"). Even if you pay $470K for him eventually so what? It's still < $500K being an acceptable upgrade cost for a premium.
Starting team selection is fine to punt like this when he's taking a 50ppg rookie off your field. To be speculating at upgrade time is another thing altogether.
I've been stung by and seen others stung by these $400K value upgrades mid season that never really take off but you run out of trades to fix them.
That's without factoring in his glandular fever. Look what's happened to Roughy and the optimistic expectations that didn't account for having time off for a serious illness and how long it can take to get back to full fitness and scoring. JOM and Swallow also. Granted Heeney hasn't had as long off as those guys but still ..
