Rookie discussions and when to cash

Anyone considering culling Weitering this week? Has 2 easier games coming up but is projected at 84 and goes up $9K.... Him and Dea can get me Heater and Jelwood, or one of the plus Lee...

Certainly not me.

His average is greater than his BE.
2 easier games coming.
Pretty reliable at this stage.
Dea is the one I will trade for Lee.
I still have Tippa, Hartley, Brown, Grimley and Simpkin. Time to drop those Bomb(er)s

With 2 scores above 75, 3 below and a BE of 79 he ain't a sure thing to not lose value. His worst SC game came against the last placed team so easy game doesn't always equal easy points...

Not disagreeing with your decision, Simpkin may need to go but would trade Weitering before the rest of the ones you mentioned....

Thanks for your thoughtful reply.

To further explain my reasoning, I have Laird, old Bartel, EMac, Dea and DBJ and Weitering in defence at this stage. Maybe Tippa as well.
Weitering seems to have found himself at D2 with his form and that of Bartel.

If he can score me 75 points a week at this stage he will score enough for now and won't lose much.

Dea has peaked I think and is averaging fewer points and I can grab Selwood using Dea and get to keep Weitering.

No rush on Simpkin. If he doesn't play he sits warming pine or loopholes depending upon the fixture. If and when he gets a game he could well still make money for me. Deadwood but not losing a lot with other issues to sort.

Good luck

Missed your mention of Dea, he is cooked for sure, although you did mention trading him to Lee  ;)

Good luck to you too.

Adam Marcon (32 possessions in the VFL) is pushing hard to debut.

He should be given a shot considering how poorly they are going

Broad a chance to come in for Rance too I would think

[Ricochet]

Longmire confirmed Aliir Aliir will debut this week

[Rusty00]

Longmire confirmed Aliir Aliir will debut this week

Wonder if that means one of the other rookies will be dropped/rested

He'll come in for Ted Richards who is out for two weeks.

yeah, I can't believe how 'wafer' thin my backline is but i'm similar with Weits at D3 but he is promoted to D2 with Rance's brain-fade for a couple of weeks ...

JJ --> Rance obviously working out great guns for me ...  ::)   ;)

same as doc, Dea is in the gun for me over Weits ...

Aliir Aliir!!! Go bloods!!!  ;)
lucky we play the Lions this week cos otherwise our backline would be seriously exposed ...  ;)

Bennedy can sit on the pine this week. I'm putting Petracca straigt onto the field

[Bully]

Tucker & Petracca are two high priority rookies.
