This guy is doing my head in. Can he turn it around or should I just oust him for Daisy?

I would probably prefer to keep him and downgrade Dwyer to Kerridge or Heath to Laird if selected to have cash to trade out maxed rookies to fallen premos like Gibbs, Buddy, Cotch, Watson, Birchall, etc in coming weeks but if Zorko doenst improve he is a liability bleeding cash and performing worse than my midfield rookies.

Will he get better and hopefully give similar output to Daisy?

He seems to be really struggling in games that brisbane lose. His only good score for the year came against Melbourne, other than that he's been shower. Having said that, you'll only lose cash from him the second you trade him out, even though Brisbane have a tough run, it does get easier after the byes. If I were you, I'd hold him and do the changes that will improve your team I.e downgrades and upgrades before doing this sideways trade. He'll just have to be a forward x-factor for you, likely to score 60-70, but capable of going 120+.

Ive kept Zorko, Dangerfield repaid the faith last week, feeling like a big score is coming for Zorko too soon
Im just trying to keep improving my team each week, when happy with all 4 lines, then ill look to sideways trade any underperformers

Dumped him before he bled too much cash for Hoff then SJ. Really glad I did.

Same as me. But if he's still lingering around your forward line, I think you're best to hold.

I'm in the same boat mate and I think we've gotta hang onto him for now

another option i see (rather than trading him to daisy) is trading him down to a robbie grey Pocket the cash and use it for upgrades over coming weeks. Grey in the process makes some cash for a premo trade a bit later.

If grey scores similar to Zorko (and say within 5-10ppg of Thomas) it would be well worth it and this looks likely atm.

Thoughts on that?

Tyes

I think it's a really good idea, a real luxury trade though. I for sure don't have the spare trades for that one haha.

Yeah I like Zorks -> Gray. :)

Turned him into Leuy when Leuy was on the bubble but if you still have him hold him now he has lost too much cash
I'm stuck with Robbo for the same reason and I'm holding him until I have the trade to oust him unless he turns things around.

DON'T TRADE ZORKO. YOUR MONEY AND YOUR TRADES CAN BE USED ELSEWHERE.

Don't risk trading him now that you've held onto him for so long. I think it's because last year he was a rookie (like Sam Gibson etc) so he didn't receive any attention from the opposition. Now other teams know what he's capable of and I think they are putting a lot of pressure on him during games. It's just the risk of rookies I guess, we selected him as a rookie last year (I didn't :( ) and we selected him as a premium this year. Obviously we saw him as a different quality of player and so has the AFL and Brisbane's opposition.

I think hold on mate, he just needs to adapt to the new conditions. Once that has happened he should be back to his old ways and he's mature aged so it'll be a lot easier for him compared to other rookies turned premium aka 'Toby Greene'  :)
