Player X v Player Y

[Blues Blues Blues]

Lee (provided he's named) vs Austin.

Need a cheap defender to downgrade to (already have Collins)

[King_Robbo]

Pretty sure that essendon have already crashed and burnt... It has shown in poor teams in the past that the guns still score well. Gaz at GC, Ward at GWS his first year he was averaging 120 fir most if the year, Zorko this year I at Brisbane.
In saying that I'd go Rocky over Zerrett.

As for Lee v Austin I'd say neither. Lee is an absolute spud, there is a reason why st kilda haven't played him much this year despite their injuries and Austin has pretty low JS

[PICCOLLO]

Rocky v Merret

Rocky has risk and I am low on trades
Merret has DPP

Can do BK for either

I have avoided Zerret for the reason that I feel Essendon will eventually crash and burn and surely he can't keep scoring 100+ when the bombers are belted each week.

I think Rocky has a huge upside and will out score Zerret. Go Rock Dog - take the punt

Rocky will outscore Merrett, no question.

Merrett has been dominating despite Essendon getting pumped and will continue to do so. Id be surprised to see his aberage fluctuate much from where it is.

Lee might not be the greatest player going around but he is a legit downgrade option this week if selected.

Goddard, Fisher, Dempster all out injured for long periods means Lee has decent JS for at least 4-6 weeks I reckon which is all I really need from him.

I fear there is more crashing to come.

Picture 2nd half of the season when the bombers are still losing heavily, these 'top players' are sore and frustrated, plus they know that despite how much effort they put in they will not be there next season. They'll be head nicked and subsequently I think Essendon will be looking at some absolute beltings.

I may be wrong, and it may be a situation like the movie Major League where some misfits and washed up baseball hacks come together form a strong team and take out the championship, but I doubt it. Tippa, Kelly, Brown and Crowley aren't quite Wesley Snipes, Corbin Bernsen, Tom Berenger and Charlie Sheen.

Haha nice reference!

I kind of agree, they'll tapper off especially those older guys like Kelly, Crowley, Stokes etc. however I can see Zerrett still banging out 100s. The kid is a machine, won't get tagged (why would a team tag when they will win anyway) and I think he can only improve his scoring as his d/e has been pretty average. If he cleaned that up he'd be a lock. In saying that, I don't think he will so I'll be steering clear.
Let's put it this way though, if it came down to Zerrett v Montagna for my f6 I'll take Zerrett all day everyday

Yeah, Zerret has been very consistent I'll give him that. And having picked up Montagna a few weeks ago thinking he'd bottomed out, I am now wishing I'd gone someone else!

Suckling vs Laird

Who avg more from here? Suckling is just under 400k. Great value if he can avg 90+

Laird will probably average slightly higher (haven't looked at draws so happy to be corrected) but Suckers is great value. I can't bring myself to trade him back in after dropping him when he was injured. Should've just held on and played rookies

Pretty sure crows have the favorable draw over the dogs. But suckling is a good POD. Worried about the return of JJ though.

Laird should bottom out at about 450-460 and with their draw that's enticing.

Laird - just
I think they'll average similar in the remaining 11 games and I do think that the dogs are a better team and do share the ball around more in defense (i.e. We play keepings off) however I'm going Laird because he fits my bye structure perfectly
