I bought in Andrew Swallow during the bye rounds as a POD and ever since he's been nothing but a headache  >:(
At the time he was averaging close to 108 but I'm lost for words with how much his form has dropped over the last few weeks.
Tonight his second half was disgraceful, 19 pts!
Problem is with 4 trades and Dangerfield & Buddy on my bench I don't have a clue what to do with him.
I don't consider him a "premium" and have finally lost patience with him.
Problem is I don't know what to do with him!
Anyone else have this problem?

Yes I have the exact same problem. Brought him in earlier than you during the season and got some good scores from him, but lately.. What a spud. I can't believe how bad he has played of late.. Captain of the club and can't lead from the front.

Will move him on after next week finally for Barlow. Cannot wait to get some 110+ scores consistently instead of once every 3-4 weeks and when Swallow feels like it. Him not reaching his BE of 119 means he'll go down in price again next week and I may not be able to manage the trade without a downgrade somewhere else, something I didn't want to do. Flower.

Rant over.

He has been extremely disappointing lately.
I bought him for $585k...after R3...was tossing up whether to get him or Barlow...what a mistake.
A couple of rounds back I was tossing up whether to turn him or Priddis into Griffen. Sadly I traded Priddis...who has scored more than Griffen in both games since.
I'm ranked in the 700s but would be considerably higher without Swallow. Frustrating he has been!
Swallow is now my M8/9 emergency loophole option with T Mitchell.
Has no currency to trade him sideways....don't have sufficient trades left anyway...so stuck with him...hope he finds some form fast.

So basically he is dead bait!
With his high BE he will get close to 450k! Now that North are pretty much gone for 2013, will he find some form?
I still need to bring in Heater or Ibbotson to finish my defence, but with injury concerns over Buddy and Dangerfield I have no other option but to hold right now!
Bringing in Swallow for Goodes seems like a horror move now!
I'm absolutely furious with his shower scores of late!

I think he can find form, it's a matter of when. There's no question that when he's up and running and in form he is one of the best SC scorers going around. Hopefully he starts it next weekend against Melbourne.
He'll go down to about $465k with a BE of 125 next week. All I can hope is for him to get 125+ and then smash his BE the week after

Have had him, Spud Jacobs, and Ivan running around in my team for too long this year. Cost me plenty of points, and a number of rankings. Would be in the top 500 easy, but yet I'm pondering in the 1200's. what a season this could've been, buuuuuut that's SC for you.

He would be a luxury trade surely unless you have more then 4 or 5 left.you have to back him in.
