What about Jack Martin, injury interupted rookie year after expectations were sky high?

We actually have too few of his type, hard running quick outside players, but I agree that he won't go 110 this yeargood footballer, cannot break out to be a 110 player
tigers have too many of his "type" imo
Seriously thinking of not starting GAJ as a POD due to injury.
LolNot sure it will be a POD anymore
Anyone know the ownership % for:
Hodge
R.Murphy
Sloane
Priddis
D.Beams
Mumford
Bartel
Cheers.
Anyone liking sidebottom as a pod?
Seriously thinking of not starting GAJ as a POD due to injury.
Thinking he might bleed value for a few weeks if he's under an injury cloud and plays anyway.Still sitting at 53.38%.
I wonder how many will keep him if he's not named round one?

Thinking of possible upgrade.
Classic.But even thinking of starting without the champ just makes me feel dirty. Like I need to take a shower dirty.
Gaz at 70% in the forward line is still going to bloody dominate mate. He will still get low 100's. I am starting with him for sure, only thing that will change that is if we get more definitive info about him being out longer.There's talk of him playing more forward minutes until he is near 100% match fitness.
From a football perspective, even if GAJ was at 75%, he would be incredibly dangerous in a forward pocket.
From a SC perspective, it is disastrous to start him. He will bleed money and cost points.

With the rookie issues, GAJ's fitness, and the ASADA investigation, our teams will be far from settled until the Thursday/Friday before round one.
Hodge - 17.88%
R.Murphy - 2.11%
Sloane - 5.52%
Priddis - 5.95%
D.Beams - 11.91%
Mumford - 5.68%
Bartel - 6.71%
Yes I do. Very much. Was in my team at one point, could find his way back.
Averaged 113 last year, and there's no reason why he can't go bigger this year.
Currently only 2.44% own him. Get on board, he's a great POD!

Even if he bleeds 100k, it is not big deal at all because he will make that and more back later in the season. 100k is not worth wasting a trade to try and get him in. You are going to either need to sideways trade one of your absolute premo's, eg. Fyfe / Selwood / Pendles to actually get him in. No one is going to have generated enough cash come round 4/5 to be able to upgrade a rookie to him, let alone upgrade a mid pricer to him. So basically you will be trading out one of the top 4 mids to get another top 4 mid in and you will then have to use another trade later on to get that top 4 mid back into your team. So basically for the sake of a few lost points and a little hit on his value early on, you would be mad to start without him. You will need to use two trades to rectify not starting with him. Totally not worth it!
^ It's good logic.
However, I'm worried about him even hitting the low 100's early. Especially given the $734k outlay. It might just be worth the two trades to get him in a bit later than Rd 4/5. Or it might not
Yeah, it is good logic and I'm hopelessly undecided. Gaz will be in and out of my side half a dozen times before Rd 1, I suspect.
You know, it's entirely possible that one of your other 650k+ Mids could also be averaging low 100's early on. Selwood has done that a few times over the years. However guns like him and Ablett even out the ledger sooner than later.
I think people are too fixated on starting price & are trying to be a bit too cute in trying to maximise early season points at the expense of early trades.
It is more the fact that if he fires, like he always does, you will be wasting more than a couple of trades just to try and get him in. Just imagine if he fires and pushes closer to the 800k mark, how many trades will you need to make to get the great man in? Also how many points have you leaked when he has been scoring 180's as Captain?But you will have to upgrade Mids at some point anyway, what's the difference between trading in Selwood later or Ablett Later? We all know they will be in our team but we cant start with a full premium team. It's not a wasted trade leaving him out, he's just an upgrade like other 5 or 6 mids you know will be in your team.

I know what you are saying about the captaincy but I think Fyfe will be the #1 scorer, if I thought Ablett would be it would be a stupid move not to start with him. More than happy to C Fyfe most weeks.Sweet, I will make sure I do not mow the lawns in the mean time so they are super long for you by then!Oh c'mon he's not going to be 800! He will be cheaper by R8, I don't know if it will be $10k or $100K but he will be cheaper. I'll come around and mow your lawns if he hits 800k at any stageI know what you are saying about the captaincy but I think Fyfe will be the #1 scorer, if I thought Ablett would be it would be a stupid move not to start with him.

I know I was exaggerating with the 800k, but you get the point. There is a chance he stays around the 740-750k mark and it is damn tough to get him in! Why do you think Fyfe will be the highest scorer above Pendles / Ablett / Rocklifff?
