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

for any mid pricer I PERSONALLY wont pick them unless they can make 150K from their starting price.

So Jmart would need to average 90s for me to consider him.

if he averaged 90 i'd be unlikely to trade him and keep him as cover
 
Anyone know the ownership % for:

Hodge
R.Murphy
Sloane
Priddis
D.Beams
Mumford
Bartel

Cheers.

Anyone liking sidebottom as a pod?

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!
 
Seriously thinking of not starting GAJ as a POD due to injury.

Still sitting at 53.38%.

I wonder how many will keep him if he's not named round one?
 
Thinking he might bleed value for a few weeks if he's under an injury cloud and plays anyway.

Thinking of possible upgrade.

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.

But even thinking of starting without the champ just makes me feel dirty. Like I need to take a shower dirty.

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.

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.

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.

Oh heck, I didn't think Beams would be so high :(

He's right to go, the medical staff have said he's been right to go for two weeks. The crossneck Diva obviously thinks he shouldn't have to play a game for no Brownlow votes. He will play Round 1 but I still don't want him. I just find it hard to part with nearly 7.5% of the bank one one guy, a guy that is coming back from a fairly serious shoulder injury...and hasn't played for what, 9 months?

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.

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.

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?

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 stage :D 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!
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?

I think he's the best player in the league clearly if you remove Ablett. Every year he tightens up his disp efficency and I think he has one more level to go, which yes will still have him a level below Ablett. Just the shoulder, it's his first real serious injury from memory? and the fact the Kids at GC will be taking big steps as well, he might be rested more on the bench instead of forward. Just a combination of things, by no means is it a certainty but there's enough to have some sort of query. Maybe i'm just trying to convince myself, I guess we will find out soon enough.
