Adam Pattison - DT question

[sausageroll]

Sorry about this thread guys but I've had Patto and Darcy(dogs) on my rucks bench for Dream Team and I'm now looking at downgrading one of them.
I'm very happy with Patto's scores over the last couple of weeks and I think his price will go up again this week.
But I really need to make the trade this week to upgrade another player. The one not treded will remain for the season as cover for injuries.

My question is...

Do you think Pattison will play the rest of the year?
I don't care too much if his scores drop after Simmonds returns, I just need him to get a game.

Some advice on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

... and I'm not being patronising when I say good luck against the Lionsthis week. I live in QLD and and hated their hype when they were winning their premierships. I love seeing them go down

I'd personally keep Patto. With Knobel on the LTI and Simmonds with his ankle, he will be in mostly every games, especially if he keep's giving performances like he has.

Knobel is not on the LTI list. He is listed as being available in 1-2 weeks. He probably won't find it easy to get back in the side the way Patto is playing though.

For DT I would keep Darcy as he should keep improving and Patto will have reduced game time when Simmonds returns.

Thanks to those who've posted so far. Much appreciated.

I'm still not sure what to do yet but I'm leaning slightly towards keeping Pattison.
Another question regarding him...

If Simmonds takes the #1 ruck spot back would Pattison be used up forward? Or do you think Kingsley will play there ahead of him?
I don't care if his scores drop as long as he keeps playing.

Thanks again

Buy Low, Sell High!

In all seriousness, Patto will play the rest of the season, good value.

When Simmonds comes back Pattison will probably go back to playing 5-10 minutes a quarter.

I'd gamble on Darcy. They might play him more and more as they get closer to finals action. They need him at his best to win in September.

Weaver, just as a matter of interest, have you entered a DT and SC side? If so I am interested to know how they're going?

Patto is on a massive high in value at the moment so I'd recommend selling him, perhaps next week as I think his price will rise again to a very decent value even if he has an average game I would tip.

I can only see Patto's value falling as Simmo takes the workload so get out at the apex I reckon.

Darcy has no one to take his spot so you can basically rely on him for points.

Other thing is Patto should rise again due to last weeks performance unless this weeks is an absolute shocker as Darcy may fall unless he pulls out a ripper so it's tough to say when to get out.

We have a plethora of forwards too demanding a game at Coburg each week as they rotate (Hughes, Schulz, Riewoldt, Kingsley, Meyer etc.) so it's hard to see him going for a wonder up forward with all that competition against him each week as well.

You are in a pickle. Good luck.

Thanks again.

hmmmm...

My decision over whether I do it this week or next determines which of my forwards I upgrade this week to get Brad Johnson or Riewoldt in.

If I upgrade Franklin I can wait until next week to sell a ruckman.
If I upgrade Davey I need to sell the ruckman now as I'm a bit short of the $ I need to do this trade.

I might leave it one more week then.
I'll probably trade Franklin. If I want to upgrade him I need to do it now or keep him for the next couple of months because his price is in freefall at the moment and it'll take a huge score to save him.
Davey should hold his value as he keeps getting scores around the same level every week.
Then I can trade him for NGB if he looks like doing well later on.

Yeah, I reckon I'll probably do that.

Thanks again everyone. Much appreciated.

Missed the boat on Franklin. Had that big game against the Bombers...barely racked up 40 points every week since!!!
