Has had 4 games over 111 in his last 21, and averaged 96 in his last 13 games last year, which included 7 at home.

Good stats. Does paint a different picture.

Just think he's too good not to finish the year averaging what he has the last couple years (between 111-116).

Could be wrong, but the threshold is like 6 games or something come Rd 12, physically impossible for him to get it.
Somebody mentioned something about it just recently, at Rd 12, it shifts to like 6 games min or something

Till the next lot of Dpp he's traded out , I guess .

I have no clue why Hewett isn't higher. Well, I have one clue, their coach is terrible.

He's absolutely spineless. Look at Sam Mitchell, gets rid of Titch and Jaeger, comits to pumping games into the young mids, now look at it, they have a bloody strong midfield. This flog at the Eagles has no balls to stick by his plan, every time they lose clearances, bit of media criticism comes in, and he folds and makes mass changes.

Hewett is the class and pace, CHall is the in and under grunt, they should be getting 80% CBAs every week and then being "managed" whenever they're tired.

Re: Hewitt - he's had a lot of injuries so I assume they are trying to ease him into it.

I don't get it either. He scored 55 points last week in the 2nd half. He was one of the only players still running, asking for the ball, and trying to win the game for them. Role is so good, even if Sheez is down there. Premo for $250k or whatever he cost. Worst case he's your M9/F7.

He's losing his role to Sheezel. And he has not being playing that well (SC aside) so may even get dropped.

Trading out Serong? That's wild. I'm 100% bringing him in soon.

He likes playing at home. Post bye they have 11 matches to finish the year, 7 of them are OS (incl Saints, Bombers, Roos, Eagles).

Backing him for a strong 2nd half of the year.

Why? He normally starts fast and fades as the year goes on.. His scores this year are a train wreck. Seems one of those players, well find out at the end of the year he was carrying something or hated the Longmuir situation or something.

definitely a great pickup, but not great enough to lose lash in the process. hes moved into keeper territory for me.

I personally dont think there is a universe where Levi is a keeper. He doesn’t have the role (will score well in games when the ball lives on his wing but not others), and will probably get a rest at some point. The forward options are too strong this year to consider giving him a full time spot there.

Would I like to extract an extra $50k from him? Absolutely. But I reckon Warner is more than $50k undervalued. Plus his DPP provides a stack of flexibility that a similarly priced mid doesn’t.

Edit: last week it would have been Maric potentially making way. But his 120+ last week has bought him another week at least.

1) Fonti
2) Lorenz
daylight
the other 2

I like Fonti, but I'd never advise anybody to go early on a $160k def only. I'm willing to take that risk based on what I saw and need in my team. Up to the buyer.

Moraes got 6 games and he was crap in 5/6. Lorenz looked composed, plus he's older and had a couple of preseasons. I think he'll get a run of games.

Maley won't score well, but if you want a ruck/fwd at R3 that will play a few games, he's the best option. Looking at the other cheap ruck/fwds, I don't reckon any of the others play.

Ross the boss is clearly playing the slow game with Box, I reckon he'll be sub a few times, and spend a lot of time in the VFL.

Agree, well summarised.

Combining eye test, opportunity, injury list and team mentality on games for rookies Fonti is clearly on top. Think Lorenz gets a clean run for a period but keen to see with Boak back (test this week) plus the first bye is a touch messy. Box 59% tog with Pou, Wood and Clark in the wings is a big sub risk imo, def not going early

I believe the same things were being said of maric last week, about turning him into a 'keeper'.

lash hasn't even played 10 games, and hes usually a top 5 disposal leader for his team.

its not his value im looking at, it's the 80/90 minimum youd expect from him every week. my aim is to have him as a F6/M8 loop until SC finals, then will look to luxury upgrade him.

Biggest risk is Serong has limited paths to a ceiling game. Needs 35+ touches for a big score where a lot of the other top mids get more marks, tackles and goals to build the numbers. Dawson and Bont had 22 & 23 touches on the weekend for 150/140
 
Screwing up my season the same way I do every year by paying Maximum prices for the uber midfielders early.

Always leaves me with no trades early as cash generation dries up with dead rookies on the bench, and never completing side with a rookie or 3 playing onfield.

But bugger it.

Now have 5 of my favourite 8 mids.
Bont, Butters, Naicos, Merrett and Dawson, the final 3 will either be DPP’s or PODS so see what happens.

Next week double downgrade after getting Bont in this week for Cerra.

CD love gifting Bont points just for the fun of it.
