Old Bartel

[fanTCfool]

Was on like 63 at 3qt, bit too reactionary imo

Didn't have a great night but should get better, last night was a crazy fast game

Yeah a quiet last quarter like many cats, was made to play out of his normal position up forward which probably impacted his last quarter scoring considering that the ball was up the other end for a lot of the second half.

The time to trade him would've been around his bye.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him return to his early season form where he was putting up 60's and 70's, but you probably have to tough it with him now and hope he turns it around.

That's a daft comment, why would anyone trade him on his bye when he was averaging 110 between R6 and R13

There's not too many defenders who consistently go 90+ every single week

I'm not too worried

I agree fantcfool.

Because he looked super poor in the Saints game pre-bye and now he's pumped out another average score. Most people were struggling to field 18 in Round 15 and I had a mate who took the opportunity to upgrade Bartel to Docherty. It's looking like a good move at this stage.

Hopefully Jimmy turns it around for you ;)

What are peoples thoughts on this...

I have Collins at D6 who I can loophole with Brand every week. I have 100K in the bank and only one trade allocated to upgrade

Collins should peak out at around 330K, which means I'll have about 430K to spend. The problem is, all the defenders in that price range are not great, and might only net me a small amount over the Collins/Brand combo

So, do I just use the 100K to turn Bartel in Docherty instead and then just loop Collins and Brand for the rest of the year as D6?

Seriously think the points gained by having Docherty will outweigh the difference between Collins and a 400k defender

I think the Brand and Collins at d6 is ok if you don't have trades left. But I wouldn't be trading Bartel. Has an awesome run home and I think will go at around 85-95 minimum

Make life easy, RD.  Just bring in Docherty, sit back, open a beer, press the button and watch those points roll on in.

Id hold Bartel. All teams with older players rest those players on trips to perth. I'm not suprised at all he was rested this week.

I'd be more concerned about older players who'll possibly get rested from perth trips during SC finals

Yeah fair comment. Geelong do travel to Brisbane in Round 22 so there's a chance of a rest there, but I don't think Bartel would get another rest then

Also, I need to ask myself if I would do this trade if Brand had of scored 75+, and the answer would be no because I would be happy to take that as cover for Bartel

Think I might just cop Brand's 48 and keep the trade

I'm 3.5 games clear on top of the ladder in my cash league so a loss wouldn't really hurt if it happens because I've got 1st locked up already. I'll just cop the drop in overall which is fine

I'd be rolling the dice and going with Collins. He'll outscore 48.
But you're right re the trade, not worth it imo

Now that Laird is out I would cop a donut with Bartel out as well. Which is the better option out of sideways trading Bartel to Docherty, or using two trades to keep Bartel and move Elliot Yeo to D7.
Would leave Aaron Hall and Elliot Yeo as bench cover with a couple of trades left.

Yeo at d7. Solid cover for the rest of the year.

Now I'm copping a donut with both Bartel and Laird out

1. Cop the donut
2. Bartel to Docherty
3. Lee to Castagna
