Has McKenna been faded? Could be a swap from Yeo to free up cash? Am I missing something?

 

[Corby_4]

Not overthinking this... Yeo straight to McGovern (priced 69) who should make a few bucks for when Yeo comes back.

Winning because it means I avoid rearranging my whole team to find more $$.

F*ck me. Looking around Yeo’s price range for a replacement is dire. Even options like Ridley and McGrath are 50-100k more which caught me off guard a bit as I’d never actually had to consider what Yeo cost, he was pretty much first picked in my side

I considered Gov too but man he’s more injury prone than Yeo

Yes.

Gov looks absolutely primed. Lost a heap of weight and moving well. I have faith he atleast holds value

 

[Frederico_WA]

But he's fit right now. And I just need him to be a seat filler until Yeo is back.

Its Gov or I add Constable back in shudder

How tight are you for cash?
Could you stretch to Richards?

McKenna is borderline best 22, and will score 60s

 

[Phar Ace]

It’s a tough one. My biggest concern is Worpel looks s**t at M4 and how do I rectify that lol

The same way you eat an elephant!

 

[DesMan94]

McKenna is borderline best 22, and will score 60s

Is 60s not enough for cash generation at his price?

 

[happy_eagle]

He will generate cash going at 60s, just not particularly quickly.

I think the general view of those 350k types down back are you either go for a rookie (if named) or go up to the Day/Bowes/Yeo/Ridley price range.


One name however that is in-between that lot I haven't seen mentioned in a while and I am somewhat intrigued by is Braeden Campbell at $410k. 3rd year breakout ?
Is he Swans best 22 ?

 

[Phar Ace]

Move your D2 down to Day and then plonk all that cash on top of Worpel (or whoever you have behind him at M5… Callaghan?). Since Day is going to average 170 I would think that’s fairly straightforward no?

I'm guessing you are saying it is as plain as Day then.

If fit he was great value, that is the problem of the opportunity.

Doc defensive job incoming. Why the hell is Mansell playing ffs

Thought the same thing, tries hard, but we have better surely

solution

If Cowan has a strong R1 score you can keep Yeo and loop Cowan for R1*.
Assuming Yeo is back R2.....


*For those that have Cowan at D7

You'd want to nearly guarantee that though, IMO - which there's no guarantee he plays Round 2 at this stage, is there?

“While it is disappointing for Elliot and the club that he won’t play against North Melbourne, we are taking a no-risk approach with a full season ahead of him,” General Manager – Football Gavin Bell said today. “Encouragingly, Elliot has enjoyed an excellent pre-season to this point. We are optimistic this is only a minor speed bump and expect he will be back in action soon.”

Could be club spin, but doesn't seem like its major

Good exit plan if Daicos hits his floor early

Could still be two weeks or more, as it's not a "if we were playing finals he'd be playing, but it's the start of the season and we see no reason to risk him", sort of answer.

It's more of a "we'll play it by ear and is just a niggle, so should hopefully be back in the short term"

Have to have a lot go right to make that sorta move, IMO.

Definitely agree with tigs, that it could very well be an early upgrade/downgrade, depending on how things work out.

So tight that it...

 

[Coasters7]

What’s the go with Hinge? Purely a preseason (and Yeo injury) reactionary consideration but now is the time to panic, not calmly make the best move

He slipped in my team for Yeo based on that PS score. Looks like he had a 28 last year. Didn’t even bother check if it was a sub score because either way it’s terrible

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Any injury with Yeo is concerning considering his injury history. Calf injuries always seem to linger and it won't be clear cut that he returns next round.
