Will you trade out Bowden?

[treefingers]

Joel Bowden is playing in the reserves for the second week in a row. Will you trade him or will you keep him?

 

[WakeUpPies]

very tempting considering he is not even in the extended bench and the chad has a BE of about 55, i say yes but only becasue i don't have chad

 

[Jeremias]

Definite keeper.

He'll be back in the Richmond seniors sooner rather than later and I'd back him to return to his DT scoring best.

 

[pillager]

Agree with Jeremias.

I am hoping that many Bowden owners trade him out.

Exactly. He's a proven DT superstar who is going through a rough patch.

IIRC he was dropped early last season too. He came back and ended up being one of the highest scoring defenders with an average well into the 90s. I'm expecting much the same this year.

Trade him at your own peril.

Yeh but having a gun sit on your bench without a replacement... im tempted...

 

[Bifrost]

Nah. Sure, I got dudded with an on-field 0 last round because they named him, then dropped him after I was on a plane, but I'm trading out an injured mid-ranger to cover instead.

 

[Glenno23]

If i knew 100% he would play next week, i would keep him

But.....

Chad has a BE of only 57, and this may well be the last chance to grab him (and i got a 0 due to SDT and Edwards not playing with Bowden)

ATM, i am 5K short of Bowden>Cornes

My only real option is to trade N.Jones to Prismall and use the cash there (but will Prismall get a regular game?) at least Prismall can score well, and lets face it Jones aint doing what we thought he would.

Edit: i could also trade wonna in for one of edwards or SDT and use the 10K to go Bowden> Cornes if i wanted

If i get rid of Bowden, i get an extra Captain choice

tough times

Very tempting to get Cornes.

 

[Thorgils]

I'm afraid it is time. 5 seasons I have had you my friend and it is with sorrow that I concede your services are no longer required.

Bowden - Mattner
N Thompson - Didak

Justifies my decision to trade him out last week. His days as a gun are OVER !

That's what everyone was said this time last year.

No proof to back that up buddy?

Apart from his past history, the assertion that he'll be a gun again this year can also be taken with a grain of salt at this stage. Some people are taking a gamble and dropping him, though I'd hope they're doing it for reasons other than he got dropped last week.

A lot of people seem to beleive that the way Richmond are playing this year will mean that Bowden isn't going to be the DT machine he once was. As always, only time can tell the real outcome of this debate.

 

[Schulzenfest]

I'm hoping he comes back and has a few more shit games so I can trade him in.

Missing two weeks of football at senior level does not justify trading a proven gun out.

Wallace is sending him and the team a message.

Richmond will probably get mauled this week by the doggies and he will be straight back in.

I am hoping a lot of Bowden owners trade him out... they will simply be trading him back into their teams in 4 - 5 weeks.

Stupid trade. 100 options for keepers in the midfield - only 10 or so in the backs. And you've just gotten rid of one of them for a rookie.

 

[_RT_]

At the moment I'm holding onto him with the belief that he'll come back into the seniors and return to his best form, however if he does come back in and is still struggling then the chop will come.

 

[TPB86]

if hes not back in next week hes gone cant hold onto a 400k player on my bench for that long

 

[Big_Tazz]

after Terry Wallets interview today, it looks increasingly more unlikely that Bowden will get called up.

Im starting to hate Richmond beccause of this stupid coach...2 weeks is border but 3 weeks is criminal...im gonna be laughing if Joel Bowden breaks a leg..

 

[Decipher]

Anyone have his stats and how he performed in the VFL?

 

[Masss#10]

His an idiot. Why wouldnt you play him, 2 weeks in the 2nd's is enough humiliation than wanting him to do stuff...stupid coach

 

[Refried Noodle]

5500 people jumped off him and now only 9890 DT coaches own him. Sorta become a unique pick. Hopefully come season end I still have him after he averages 95 for the rest of the season....
