Bennedy replacement

GCSkiwi · March 28, 2014, 06:38:46 AM

Hi coaches. Was away last week and didn't see Bennedy copped the vest so he's now gotta go. Have Rohan and JKH on the bench, and a bit of spare cash so can replace him with anyone under 310k - already have Higgins.

What are peoples feelings on a good replacement? Rookies seem to be vest candidates and after the carnage this week none seem safe... With that said, the two I'm looking hardest at are Jonathon Patton or Jarman Impey... Patton no.1 draft pick who's had injury issues but good game last week. Bit worried that the upset win may have given some CD inflation to some GWS scores, can he back it up? Impey on the other hand, how safe is his position in the 22? I reckon he can go better than last week suggests, though is named at FB...

Thoughts/comments/suggestions appreciated!

Have you got a Fwd link in ur Mids??
If you do I'd trade Kennedy, put Mid into Fwd line and grab M Thomas!!

I think he can maintain a good average, and looks very settled in Richmonds side.. Tackling machine!!
I'm trying to work out how I can fit him in..

What about Jackson? If he was to go down that route it would surely be Tyson providing he doesn't already have him

Yeah haven't got a DPP in the mids, and already have Tyson. Thomas looks good but can't bring him in. Thanks for the ideas though...

If only Bock was fit would solve all our problems. I've got McDonough but have no idea who to bring in so just gonna leave it for now and pray that Bock gets named round 3 but in reality that ain't gonna happen

I think you have to go Impey and bank the cash. Your F6 will be a bit weak for a while, but I just don't see Patton scoring huge every week to justify the extra cost in him

Not gonna lie, I considered Patton as well mate.
GWS have Saints, Melbourne, Bulldogs, Adelaide, GC, Port, WCE before their bye

Yeah this is a big part of me looking at him, it's an attractive draw. Might hold this week and play Rohan F6, see how Impey and Patton go and make a call next week. Just hope I don't have any late outs...
