Agreed, Daicos in particular will be fine but he has the maginness tag, the bye and then possibly a willem drew tag. I’m happy to avoid those 3 weeks and get him back cheap laterI think both can turn it around IMO

Would think there's a pretty decent chance Maginness doesn't get a game given how s**t he's been.Agreed, Daicos in particular will be fine but he has the maginness tag, the bye and then possibly a willem drew tag. I’m happy to avoid those 3 weeks and get him back cheap later
If maginness isn’t named in the team i’ll just hold Daicos then, it’s another reason to trade Young this week and possibly Daicos next weekWould think there's a pretty decent chance Maginness doesn't get a game given how s**t he's been.
Tresize is injured:I'm in the same boat. I think it's worth it to have a D7 cover, along with his potential price rises. A few more 60's and you're laughing.
If you pass on Pink this week, will be a choice of him or Brown next week for the same price. Tresize maybe if he goes well. A dilemma for many who have both Coffield and Zeid.
The scenario of having D7, D8 and R3 as dead rookies, so early on, with no defensive cover in case of late outs... is dangerous.
You either trade Daicos this week or keep IMO. The point is to get him back after his bye at a big discount, which is likely to be a much smaller discount after this week (if he has a huge game this week against the Lions getting close to his BE then he's not gonna drop enough to be worth it the following week even if he drops an avg score. If he has a s**t score, then you've already lost too much cash).If maginness isn’t named in the team i’ll just hold Daicos then, it’s another reason to trade Young this week and possibly Daicos next week
Ideally both.Dempsey or Sharp hmmmmm
no as I would rather grab Powell. Berry x2 to Powell and Sharp or TBerry and Sexton to Powell and Dempsey. Darcy comes in next week for SBerry/Sexton and Wines becomes ToukIdeally both.
Do you plan on getting Darcy next week? Can you fit two forward rookies in?
Same issue for me:Dempsey or Sharp hmmmmm
As others have mentioned - Powell is only an option if you think he's a chance at being a keeper. If you think he can go 90+ and be at worst F6 with DPP then fine. If you don't think he can then you are better off going for the rookies and spending the $160k somewhere else.Same issue for me:
Sharp/Powell/Dempsey - Which 2?
I think he's a decent chance of being F6, and a very good chance of being F7/M9As others have mentioned - Powell is only an option if you think he's a chance at being a keeper. If you think he can go 90+ and be at worst F6 with DPP then fine. If you don't think he can then you are better off going for the rookies and spending the $160k somewhere else.
Makes sense. Sounds alright. Go with it.
As a new poster, I advise being more irrational and knee-jerk in your posting. Really let the emotions fly with tantrums and humorous memes. Just a tip.
Yep will look out for that Lyons dilemma. Hopefully we don’t have to cross that bridge and he can have another decent outing prior to a nice price rise for us.Excellent parenting, focusing on SC! Nicely done.
Like me you'll prob need to wait and see if Lyons holds before making a call, otherwise you may need to pull the trigger there. No surprise if he's part of the 5 man bench tonight and you'll need the baby safely tucked away when sub is named tomorrow night. But worth playing around with some options in case you need to pivot that way. Powell is a must have imo either way.
Cheers mate....So you're saying I'm plucked then eh???Tough one mate, Kerch and Powell look like must have cows at this stage.
However, If those trades make you happier with your team structure then go for it.

It's a small sample size, but with a 95 and 129 in the first two rounds he has obviously sparked interest. He was also a pig at junior level. Doesn't always translate of course, but he certainly has a history of knowing how to find the footy. Will he average 95-100? I'm not sure.As others have mentioned - Powell is only an option if you think he's a chance at being a keeper. If you think he can go 90+ and be at worst F6 with DPP then fine.

For what it's worth:
H McKay
Jordan Clark
D'Ambrosio
M Crouch
NWM
Windhager
T Powell
and a few others besides all have their own appeal, can mount arguments for a fair few plays his week.

He had more CBA's in Round 2 than Round 1, even though Simpkin increased from 0 to 31%. Lazzaro the one to lose CBA's.

I'm not 100% sold, but as the saying goes around these parts, I'm trusting the gut feel. Think he is worth the risk at $312,200, and if he turns into a decent F6 it's a win.
Which makes my second trade easier. Has to be Sharp as I can't afford Powell if I trade in Dempsey, without trading out Newcombe. I'm sticking by Young & Newc. Hopefully they come good.
2 x 80s and he goes up 100K, at worst he's a path to a fallen premo. At best he's a keeper.It's a small sample size, but with a 95 and 129 in the first two rounds he has obviously sparked interest.

Changed my mind. Not getting Serong, instead opting for Butters.
Consider this your warning!
It's a coin toss, but I have no Port players and they also have the favourable bye.
I already have Jackson, Fyfe, and Sharp from Freo, I will feel anchored down by having four Dockers.
Only issues are that Butters has the injury history, and is slightly more expensive which may hamper my bid to get Green next week.
But Zak is just so good to watch. Will enjoy cheering for him!
Will need both in my team eventually anyway. Grats to those who started both, you're off to flyer!

This will throw a spanner in the works. They have the SAME bye

I agree mostly with your opinion. You make some great points. However, sometimes there is a difference between the SC score of a player and the eye test/the role they have. I'm all for being aggressive and making moves early but trading out premiums because of 1 or 2 bad scores is fraught with risk.If you have a bad start, and by bad I mean you've missed a heap of must-haves, your structure is wrong, and your rank is terrible, you simply have to burn through trades early, more so than ever, because it's harder to make up ground in best of 18 scoring.
There is such thing as a terrible starting side. We've had 2.5 rounds, we've seen enough to see what's going on.
Do you sit and wait, be stubborn and convince yourself your s**t starting side will come good, hope for lots of injuries and others to burn through trades so you can try overtake late, or do you move now and make it fun and interesting? The latter all day every day.
Differences of opinions makes this game and this forum great. GL everybody. I hope we get a winner from the BF SC ranks again. All I know is, it won't be me.
