Replacement for Skippy

[mEnty]

Fair enough. The reason I am keen is that the Kangeroos will give him the ball whenever they can, even if hes not in best position, much like the cats do with gaz, and i prefer to buy players that are on an upswing, he is currently about 60k cheaper than richo (oh and I think Richo will do a hammy this season).

[admrap]

oh guranteed hammy. i wont get him i juz wanted to kno who u fink is the most consistent high scoring forward.

[bluebaggers]

Skippy has to go, hes going to miss 4 weeks for sure and having a rookie covering (walker or Hogan if he ever gets a game) is a risk for me on my ranking.  I will sit it out for this week and gain some extra cash from one of my cash cows and then get rid of Skippy for a Prem FWD...

[admrap]

im hoping sidebottom comes in this week which im pretty sure is going to happen. n then ill decide which rookie i should get...either hartlett...or barham. which prem apart from harvey would u consider getting?

[mEnty]

Bluebaggers, ranking? (I'm at 337)

As to who I think will end season towards top of forwards...

S Johnson
Richo (if uninjured)
Deledio (Think he will have a lot bigger 2nd half of year)
Nathan Brown
Chapman (if uninjured)
Riewoldt
Franklin (Has played shocking so far as it still ranked at no. 14)
Harvey (this probably the one Im least confident on...didn't look great first 3 rounds)

and smokey to be right up near top....
Higgins

I think Pav might loose that lock status this season...midfield is shocking for his scores.

[admrap]

i was finking s johnson. guranteed over 90+ every game. but i didnt want to trade this week and his price will juz keep going up.

would u use the trade on another player whos price will go up like a shannon cox/aaron davey or juz go all out on s.johnson

[mEnty]

I don't upgrade unless I want to keep the player all season barring LTI. I would never want Shannon Cox in my team...haha. Davey maybe, but I don't really like melbourne players. If you've got the cash might as well get a gun.

hey like everyone else i have skippy..
im new to DT this is my first year
ive been pretty unlucky with injuries and im now down to 16 trades with 30K in the bank.
I already have Krakeour, is it smart to trade skippy for ziebel (assuming skipworth is out for 3+ weeks)
and wait for ziebel to go up in value and trade him out towards the end of the comp?

[nas]

I'll look into my ball (crystal) get Beams or zkiss & then trade or sit for a week if your other reserve is playing & see in harlett gets another run or say barham. Saves a trade.

[XztatiK]

hehehe i bet yogibear has Gilbee and Johncock, just wondering why they aren't scoring 150 every week.

[bluebaggers]

@ MeNty,
i was ranked 341 last week and with not picking ablett as captain and taking a donut due to Cheney, Purgoyne and Broughton out I slipped back to 817.  But thats not too bad... I dont want to use too many trades, 3 so far.  Skippy should miss 4 weeks for sure, for me thats too long.  I have suffered this week already with Purgoyne out and cant waste anymore precious poiints with injured/suspended players on the bench and rookies trying to make up for it. 

Skippy has to go...

[nickyt]

so this is my line up for rd 5.

Backs:
Cornes
Goddard
Hodge
Drummond
Houlihan
Raines
Rance

Petrenko - Emergency
Broughton

Mids:
Ablett(c)
Gibbs
Cornes
Selwood
Higgins
Rich

Beams - Emergency
Anthony

Rucks:
Cox
Kruezer

Meesen
Spencer

Forwards:
Chapman
Deledio
Franklin
Pavlich
Krakouer
Ziebell
Walker

Skipworth
Brown - Emergency



guys what do you think about leaving skippy on da bench for one week then trading either petrenko, walker or brown for a rookie then taking this cash plus the 56k i already have and getting either riewoldt, didak or giansiracusa?

Could you state why you think this is a good or a bad idea, after you have looked at my team.

[yogibbear]

hehehe i bet yogibear has Gilbee and Johncock, just wondering why they aren't scoring 150 every week.

nope. my backs are: chad, lockyer, fisher, goddard, adcock, hodge, hill, suban, cheney
