Anyone know why KK was a late out? I missed the reason

Cheers mate. I just got off my arse and did my own research and found the article.

Bartel or Laird?

Is Laird still alive?

I wouldn't go with the dead guy....

I think he had his toe amputated and had a prosthetic toe fitted. There was a delay in the prosthetic toe arriving from China hence the extra week he missed but should be right to go this week.

Can afford  Howe,  Laird,  Rance,  or  McVeigh after swapping Gray for Libba then outing Barlow. Which is my best bet. Only interested in points, nothing else.  If not one of these it can't be anyone more expensive. Any and all thoughts please ??     ;)
Found a better way.  Milera out,  Paine in. Then either of those defenders in. Despite all of the nay- sayers I have a leaning towards Howe. Not sure if it's my POD  antennae working or just my SC self destruct button twitching.  Cheers.         ;)
Bugger, I don't like the look of Paine's immediate future. So that swap is out.  Whatever, still have to get one of those defenders in so which one guys  ?? ??                     :-\

I really don't like the look of Howe. Not at the price he's at now anyway.. He has been very good the past four weeks but benefited from collingwood playing teams (Brisbane, blues, geelong and dogs) that were well and truly burning the bs,l in those games and don't have very strong forward lines. For example the game on the weekend the dogs were just banging it long in hope and Howe was interpret marking. I'm sure that teams will figure out that he's actually not manning up and they'll start playing through his player which means he'll be more accountable which means less points.

Thanks KR, you make a lot of sense. Which of the others would you favour first ??         :)

Sounds crazy, but is Brodie Smith worth bringing in?

Last 2 weeks have been good and is so cheap at only 360k or so. I know it's super risky, but he wouldn't be the worst D6 would he?

I would grab him at that price. I started with him expecting him to be a D6. I also knew he could throw in the odd shocker like he did a couple weeks back, the only disappointing thing is I expected a few more bigger scores in the process to boost his average.

Really considering it. Still need 3 defenders and I won't be able to get all the really expensive ones

So much value under 400k

Birchall, Burgoyne, Yeo, KK, Smith, Roberton,  Tmac, Taylor plus more.

Surely one of these types at D6 could pay off?

[Asparagus]

I have Rich, Sheridan and Adams- I don't want another with average scores.
(also have Shaw , Laird and Doch)

Yes, ONE could. Unfortunately, the spud you end up picking won't...

Started with Doch   :-* :-* :-*

Also started with Brodie.  :P I did bench him for his 19 though, so am pretty happy with the 90 odd average.

I was wrong about Docherty. He's a gun.  :-[

Hey everyone!

I am looking at Trading Hartley to Tucker this week and then upgrading kerridge to a defender by switching tippa back FWD. I have enough to get any defender however I am strongly considering getting Bartel this week. Thoughts on this?

hasn't been under 93 in the past 5 weeks and the lowest BE out of the guys around the 500-550k. Would leave me with $109k in the bank for the next upgrade after the byes. I am leaning against Docherty just because of his price.

my current backline is: Shaw, Rance, Gibson, Smith, Tippa, Byrne Jones (harltey & Ruggles)

Any thoughts would be great!
