Two options, need some other opinions.

Who would you rather?

Grimes and Riewoldt
or

Gilbee and Franklin

Anyone? ^^^

 

[crazyman27]

Grimes and Riewoldt for me. Slightly higher risk as Grimes is yet to prove himself, but the rewards should be much higher.

Both have there good and bad points, if i went with Grimes i would be intending on him being a keeper, just the risk factor in it seems big.

Tough one.

 

[kangaroo19]

Anyone? ^^^

Tough one IMO.

Option 1 = 1 premium + 1 potential keeper
Option 2 = 2 good keepers.

Really depends what sort of risk you want to take I guess. Grimes could well score the same as Gilbee, but obviously Gilbee is more likely to score well. Roo over Franklin due to consistency for 100's but Franklin is very cheap and could explode.

Really tough one IMO, I'd probably lean towards 1 due to Riewoldt... at worst, Grimes could be your 7th back and upgraded later in the season. Either option is risky as both Gilbee and Franklin can be very inconsistent so I guess it depends on whether your team already has consistent players or not. That said, who knows about Grimes' consistency?

To be honest i have never been so confused about a trade in all my 4 years of Dream Team.

My Backs are:

GODDARD, MACKIE, FISHER, CORNES, HODGE, HOULIHAN, BROUGHTON,

Houlihan would be making way for either Gilbee or Grimes..

I think Franklin will start to hit his straps this week against Melbourne, Gilbee averaging 90 Vs Grimes's potnetial and Roo's garanteed 100's, yeah its definately something il be thinking about over the next 2-3days....

 

[Dalsantowhatastar]

Any midfielder apart from Bartel or Ablett
Who should I get?
Leaning towards Swan most likely at this stage..

That soooo easy.

Grimes and Riewoldt. Every day of the week

 

[Hodges]

I wouldnt say its that clear cut. People seem to be forgetting that Grimes has a decent injury history considering his age. Missed the majority of last year with back problems, the same injury that forced him to miss 6 games so far this season. He is a huge risk. I have no doubt he can score well (was on my watch list before pre-season), but ots a question of his body.

Recurring back problems are not good news. Long way to go in the season yet.

This is my thinking exactly, its definately not clear cut. The thing is i reckon i wont be able to get Roo in any other way without paying well over the odd's, having said that hes bound to go down a bit a some point we would think.

With 13 trades left, i think i am going to have to weig it up, but im leaning towards:

Gilbee > Franklin

Rather than

Grimes > Roo,

I just think i will have to use another trade eventually to upgrade Grimes, and the injury risk is definately there..

hmmmmmm....
I would have to

Everyone has been saying Roo and Grimes, yet your head is still telling you to go with the other option.

What does that tell you? You know your team better than anybody else, so go with what you think will benefit you the most which seems like the Gilbee/Franklin option. At least with that option, you know you are getting 2 good proven players. Last year Franklin only averaged 4 points less than Roo. He has plenty of time to turn his season around this year and could still prove to be one of the best forwards this season.

 

[Pinochio]

Just wondering on who ppl think is a keeper this year:

Krak or Jack Roo?

Also will sidebottom be a constant pies gamer?

Who is best forward under 450k apart from steive J?

 

[Notorious_29]

All backs below 368 k

ive narrowed my selected choices down to

pburgoyne, gilbee, mackie, enright

thoughts?

i like burgoyne out of that lot. i know hes a little inconsistent but is capable of 150s and has looked pretty good this year. i rekan he will average 90-95. i dont trust mackie this season. has a lot of quite games but may strike back now that harley is back. should average anywere between 80-90. enright and gilbee look like good options but are also inconsistent. both will average around the 85-90 mark. i take it you have sam fisher, if you dont he looks at a nice price as does birchall and hes super consistent getting 80-100 most weeks.

 

[Lakey91]

I thinking calling enright inconsistent is very very very rough.

He is averaging 86 this year, and has scored under 75 just once in 8 rounds.

In 2008 he averaged 87, and scored less than 75 just 4 times.
In 2007 he averaged 86, and scored less than 75 just 4 times.
In 2006 he averaged 91, and scored less than 75 just 2 times.

To me, I think that is very consistent - particularly when a couple of those scores when in the 70s - he is good for 85 week in week out i reckon.

Krak or Jack Roo?

I don't know if either will be keepers to be honest. Other teams have now realised that Krak is a threat and is Port's go-to man (similar to Heath Shaw last year) and are making him very accountable, hence the low scores of recent weeks. He will occasionally break through when he gets to vs a non-tagging team such as Pies or Eagles, but I don't think you will want him at the end, and with Sydney this week it may get tougher for him.

Jack Roo- I admittedly haven't seen too many tigers games but he is obviously struggling in the forward line. With Wallace set to coach the year out and prove he can coach well (perhaps looking for another job), will this mean Jack Roo gets a regular crack?

As far as sidebottom is concerned, I've watched both his games in which my opponents had him, and he towelled me up. He looks very impressive and along with Pendlebury is the pie's shining light at the moment. I think there are a lot of players to go out the door before frontbum, although that being said there are still a LOT of ins for collingwood to come.

The best forward under that price in my opinion is Pavlich or Johnno Brown, look to have found some form at last.

pburgoyne, gilbee, mackie, enright

Yeah i think Enright is good for some consistency but as foley said fisher and birchall look good at their prices.

I would go Enright out of the lot but still pretty keen on Mackie. The other two are far too inconsistent

 

[kirbatron]

Very simple.

HAYES vs GIBBS

Who should i get*

* i can afford up to $443,900 so other suggestions welcome.

thanks for the thoughts guys, and yer ive had fisher since the start.

i think ill either be going peter burgoyne or enright now. never really rated birchall.

cant go wrong here both will average over 100.

flip a coin.

Pretty much who i'm thinking now.
Could really go either way will score roughly the same for the rest of the year I would reckon.
I will be going with Gibbs though just because I don't like having a lot of my own team in my dream team for some reason.

While I'm here who should i trade out Rich or Tuck?

Thanks peekaye

Now my next question is then:
which option is better

Hodge/Kreuzer for Grimes/Cox
OR
Hodge/Krak for Grimes/Pav
OR
Kreuzer/Krak for Cox/Sidebottom
OR
Krak/Jack Roo for Pav/Sidebottam


thx for all ur help guys

 

[Signd Sealed Saint]

Scott Thompson v Daniel Cross v Cameron Bruce

These are 3 dropped in price proven premiums over the years, what do people reckon. I won't be trading in any of these guys this week but they have very high b/e's and should be good trading targets for people who have Rich or Otten or Cogs (potiential keeper but won't be for the good teams, i'm shit tho..) etc.

 

[favourites]

id go cross.

i would go scotty thompson or dan cross. both averaged around the 100 mark last year and have had quite starts but should fire up in the 2nd half of the season.

i dont rekan there will be much between cogs and thompson/cross in terms of average. cogs looks like averaging 90 and the 3 you mentioned maybe 95 so imo it would be a waste of a trade if your getting rid of cogs for either of those 3. for me im looking at keeping cogs as a 6th mid or maybe later in the year if i have enough trades in hand upgrading him to a 100+ average player,the ablett/bartel/swan/corey types. so i would keep cogs unless your getting someone of that calibre.

Looking to pick up 2 of the three in the next few weeks, IMO I would go Scott Thompson, Cross than Bruce. Considering there current prices I'm picking up Cross this week and most likely Thompson next week (or the week after) depending on price
