anyone else concerned about the js of Newman in 2 weeks time when the Swans potentially get up to 4 (best 22) guys back ?

No, would be more worried about Fox, Dawson, and Hayward. If Newman continues to play like he is, no way he gets dropped.

Yeah, you'd assume Fox, Foote, Dawson & Hayward all behind him at this stage. Throw in guys like Florent, etc. and I think Newman is safe for quite a while. If for whatever reason he is dropped he's averaged 28 & 24 touches in the ressies for the past 2 years, so he'd be knocking on the door straight away.

Tom Williamson from Carlton one to consider? Was impressed on the weekend, no frills just did his job.

Yes, defiantly on my radar for next week. Got stuck into the contest, tackled well.
Want to see another game from him.

Not sure what to do with Pickett, he is in the games, but he has been butchering the ball. If he has a game with some clean possessions I expect him to pull out a 60-70 score. Expect he might be dropped before that happens though.

dropped him last week (over parfitt) for houston and glad i did tbh, doesnt seem like he will score well at all let alone consistently... a very slow burner for mine. have a feeling he will be dropped before he can make any real cash if he continues to play like this, do you have any players who you can swap pickett with in the mids? maybe look at getting rid of him for williamson if he comes good again next week?

Well I can go
Stewart to Newman & loophole with Hibberd (Hold Pickett) - Reevaluate for next week
Hibberd to Newman with No loophole (Hold Pickett) - Can go Stewart to Williamson the week after if he is a must
Pickett to Newman via Hibberd to Mids (Hold Stewart)
Taranto to Newman via Parfitt to Fwd & Hibberd to Mids

any of them would work just fine, id say go option 2 for mine, pickett / stewart still scoring, and no garentee that williamson will be a must get as of yet, safer to leave players that will grow if you get stuck with them, danger solid enough for captain every week so loophole not extremely necessary atm, no strndica??

Apparently, Geelong rate James Parsons. On the bubble next week, could be a good downgrade option for those that want to go get rid of JOM.

[Mongoose528]

Is Berry from Brisbane going to be a proficient SuperCoach scorer?

Does he have good job security?

[Ringo]

He was a direct replacement for Ryan Harwood who was playing crap. He got the position over Claye Beams so in my opinion it is his position to lose.

[Holz]

Looking forward to next week what do people think of Jimmy Parsons.

reckon he could be a good downgrade option, reports are they love him and he would have played round 1 if fit. Put up a decent 60 from a pretty nice 18 touches.

A little worried about GHS Selwood etc.. but at 117k pocketing 30k from pickett could be a good move.

Will keep an eye on him this week, but might depend on what else is available and who I have tht I need to get rid of.

Not much.

Bloke from Carlton looked good.

The Brissie guys were okay

[RaisyDaisy]

No one can be worse than Stewart and Pickett so I'll look to trade both out next week

Pickett 100%
