Marcus Adams and Matt Dea

[Southstorm]

These guys are looking really good early.

Question I have is do we start to plan around one or both them being in the team possibly for the rest of the year in a D6/D7 capacity? I feel both of these guys will go around 85-90 so I'm considering using them as more than just a cash cow and making plans accordingly.

They'll definitely be the last rookies I upgrade I think as Adams in particular is scoring better than most of the "premium" defenders after three games including probably one of the toughest games the doggies will play all year, and Dea is showing good signs as the dons get more comfortable with each other.

If they keep this scoring up, they'll both be around $400k by mid-season. Fantastic cash generation in an otherwise showerty line.

[Big Mac]

Keep them as long as they're scoring like a premium or earning cash. No other planning needed

[Gigantor]

Yeah these guys along with Emac and Weitering in my team have been great!

[Ringo]

Been great but get the feeling Dea may have to be traded out around the byes as I reckon that is when he will peak.  Adams should be OK fpor the season unless from drops dramatically/

[fanTCfool]

Adams is a keeper! Seriously, he could be a Top 10 defender at this rate.

[RaisyDaisy]

Too early to tell, but as of today Adams is a keeper. Takes contested marks like a beast and racks up the pill

Dea has been great too, but I feel like eventually he might drop off and need to be upgraded

Am hoping Adams turns into a keeper

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I wish I had of just gone with 2 premium defenders + Emac, Weits, Dea, Adams on field.

[HotTiges]

Yep went with Jesse Lonergan.. hasn't been terrible but he's my worst averaging defender! Could of had E McKenzie i guess..

I had enogh of Boyd after rnd 2, and traded him to MacKenzie for more cash generation. Happy that he also outscored him last week.

SO MUCH REGRET!! Rich -> Emac then de Goey -> Hall to start the year with. Hell, even Shiel -> Gray could've happened. So mad

slightly worse bartel weits dea and adams but went mid crazy with lonergan seeds and sheridan! lesson learnt! worst performer of those 3 becomes shaw next week!

[Grufflez]

I nearly went with the 2nd YES but then i thought hmmmm ummm then again, i know! the 1st YES option is the right answer.

[Holz]

not convinced with Dea,

think essendon will start getting smashed soon. i reckon he goes sub 75 this week

[ants]

need dea to qeeze out a bit more cash! hoping he will be around 350 in a few weeks ready to upgrade or downgrade! its a wait and see with adams!
