With talk of Franklin returning this week, I would think that helps Heeney for scoring? Not making him trapped FF as often

I just came here to ask the same question.

Interested in any thoughts!

Especially with McDonald doing so well but Heeney's durability still an issue.

James Rowe was a disposal winning forward in the SANFL who scored a lot of SC points (96 average last year), which is not always the case for forwards who kick a reasonable amount of goals. It was apparent against Geelong that he's given the freedom to play up the ground and his work up the ground was some of his best stuff. Not all forward pockets are asked to play deep, some are given permission to roam further up the ground, especially when they have creativity and skill. It's not only flankers who drift up the ground. He won't repeat that score very often but I reckon he's gonna average high 60's - low 70's from now on.

He played a role somewhat akin to Breust at the Hawks, was quite a decent fantasy role, know I confused him for Laird a few times which is absolutely a good thing for fantasy purposes!

Think I will field him this week although he's probably the guy who should get Cunningham this week so that's a worry, Cunningham over the back end of last year and round 1 has actually turned himself into a very good small defender.

Jayden Stephenson is looking a good option up forward @$354,000.

Off one game with a bunch of midfielders to come back in and playing for a team that appears to be headed towards being wooden spooners, based on what we've seen to date?

I reckon despite the foot issues Rozee at ~$20k more is a potentially better option up forward, but it's too early to go on either one at their awkward starting price(s), until we've seen a more consistent run of games - you'd almost need them to be a keeper for the season starting one of them at $350k+.

Cripps is a forward! What's everyone whining about. 😀


Congrats to anyone who started Tex or Butters but that's got honey trap written all over it now.
Butters looks like a good pick in years to come.

Walker is worth a 4 week punt , gets to $ 450k would make him a great stepping stone to Grundy easily enough.

Duryea might be the one , averaged 91 last season , admittedly played 2 games.

What are people's plans for Tex? A BE of 95 means he's getting close to peaked in cash if you were looking at selling him for around $190K profit if you got on before Rd 3, or do you consider him a keeper now? I haven't heard any that are planning on trading, possibly like me due to having bigger issues, so guess most people do think he's a keeper now...

I'm strongly considering trading but might give him 1 more round against the Hawks to see if he is worth keeping, as I think I need to correct Bailey/rookies more desperately. Might cost me a few bucks at worst, but shouldn't be too much.

I'll be waiting for the injury update. He fell out of the game after he picked it up so will see if he misses any games.
