[Deliverance]

Each year there are the guys who get a bit more midfield time, or a role change, or just a clean run without injury and blitz the second half of the season. Think Robinson, Macmillan, Rocky from last year.
Our trades now should not just be from within the top 10 avg for each position. You don't even need the ones who will be top ten avg at the end of season. But instead, we need the player who will be top ten from round 11 onwards.
For me, I'll be looking to trade in:
McVeigh
Rocky
Deledio
Gray
Also contemplating Z Williams as a smokey.
Who's on your list?

I think you have nailed the most likelys.
McVeigh in For me. Like Z williams but dont have the intestinal fortitude at this stage.
Jack Stevens is one to watch for me. One of the bulldog mids could kick after the bye and guys with potential but may be close to getting dropped off lists playing for their spots. A few tigers, gold coast and port players might fall into this catagory. If I could identify them exactly I would be a lot closer to the top than I am right now.
Good discussion though.

Keeping an eye on MCVeigh actually myself.

How many weeks will it take JJ to get back to full fitness (running and play fittness?+)
Srs question, I reckon he'll be another 10 weeks off to get back to peak. Absolute peak that is.
4 weeks away.
Steer clear for me, unless he smashes it early.

Will be interesting. Big layoff for the lad.

CD are going to start giving him back the points they've robbed him of
He'll average 110 for the second half of the season

 

[Nelso]

Good luck with Rocky.

Never again for me.

Whats this about him having a huge second half last year? He rarely played from memory

Deledio is a 2nd half of year specialist

hes been running for over a month now, should be good to go after the byes

@$463 with a BE 111, there'll be a good chance to have a look at him for a week or two once he does come back

Does Howe fit into this category?

Similar to my thoughts. Looking to get lids in soon. And very keen to have a look at jj. Defence is a lottery and he was a must have pre injury.

I've been waiting for this for the last 10 weeks, starting to think it will never happen

 

[Deliverance]

Yep. Averaging about 90 ATM? Could average 100+ if he keeps this form up from now to the end.

Obviously I was unaware what type of injury it was. I thought it was a serious high hammy with severe tendon damage if not complete seperation from the bone?
Oh well. Glad I'm wrong, good for him too.
Cheers Brentman.

Did you get Steven?
I was too gutless to get Williams.
