Who should come in for JZ?

Mids: GAJ, Selwood, Joey, Judd, Swan JZ (howlett, JKT)

can also move JZ into forwards using MPP so could get a forward

For: Pav, ROK, Brennan, Goodes, Tippett, J.BROWN, Davis, (Gumby, Roberts)

have 253k in bank 548k to spend.

thinking boyd/DIDS.

suggestions welcome.

Boyd for me!! :)

Boyd for me!! 

too

Would DID be a better option and leave me with about 60k in bank?

Or is the money better spent on getting BOYD?

I have to upgrade 1 of my backline spots as well as NIC NAT still so i am thinking cash would be nice. As well as MPP with DIDS as i can use HOWLETT as cover should i have an injury as only have GUMBY on forward bench.

Boyd.
Though Dids for the reason you mentioned is an excellent alternative.

[wardie]

Thanks guys, i don't have any doggies players in my team currently (had hall and higgins) so i can see that getting BOYD would be advantageous to my team but i keep coming back to the MPP rule. With no other MPP player in my mids and ROK, PAV, DAVIS, JZ, BRENNAN all in my forwards i think it is essential to have a MPP in mids?

Only other MPP players available that i would consider are CHAPPY & SILVIA who is too expensive or inconsistent. so that leaves me with DIDS and with only SWAN and NEON as collingwood players i am thinking he is the best fit.

My theory make sense or am i just overlooking the face DIDS will cost me about 1-200 extra points for the remainder of the year in comparison to BOYD.

[enzedder]

You're theory makes sense though say Dids go to fwd line to cover as MPP...would Howlett provide better cover than Gumby to justify it.
I reckon get Dids over Boyd only if you think the $ saved will better your team in an upgrade elsewhere.

[wardie]

HOWLETT is ave. 70ish and GUMBY is about 50ish with very few scores if any higher than 60 so i am thinking that from a cover perspective it is essential to have HOWLETT available especially as my forwards are struggling and GUMBY seems to have to cover someone every week at the moment :(

Hoping JKT will play again this year as well but with the way the hawks are traveling i highly doubt it!

[enzedder]

I'm not a bomber fan so don't know the likelihood of who's going to get a game...but Howlett's played 8 , Gumby 14...Howlett played last round, Gumby didn't.
Boyd ave 111 + 50ave Gumby if needed=161...Howlett emerg mid
Didak if used as fwd MPP ave 98 + 75 ave Howlett = 173...Gumby emerg
Didak gets you an extra 12pts per game as MPP in an average/ speculative situation.
Not much in it...think Didak's worth it for the $ it frees up more than what MPP is worth.
I'd still get Boyd.
Good luck though.

m8 i wouldn't be relying on howlett for cover!!! knighta has been rotating players like nothing else this season. looks like he favours melkshem over him as well. surely there will be a few blokes to come in that should be playing. being in the side that lost to melb doesn't fare well in relation to job sercurity as well!

[wardie]

I know what you mean torress but unfortunately because i have RELTON and JKT on the pine i only have GUMBY/HOWLETT as cover in each position.

I am just thinking that by having the MPP would allow me to have both as cover in both positions as i don't want to trade any of the bench players i have now as they are worth nothing and will not make any cash.

[roo boys!]

Boyd for me!! :)

Agree that there is no point to trade out the cheapie as you will not make any cash. But I still think that the extra ppg is worth not having the MPP

[Uncle]

didak best option. need money for other positions, but need mpp. if i was you i'd take the punt though... look at how shaun higgins started... then look at how much he'll save you on didak
