If you forsee Kelly averaging between 95-105 for the whole season, there's no way you should waste a trade getting rid of him.

I'll be going Kelly > Ridley via Coffield and Murray > Lloyd next week.

Week after Coffield > Rocky with the Kelly money I have left over.  8)

Still have Holman that way too as my M9.  ;D

The one I was most excited to come in was Ahern but looks like north are playing too well for him to get a look in

I dont reckon i will go kelly to rocky cant trust rocky his body aleays lets him down

He's a cash cow with upside, if he puts on 150k it's a win.

I think you're underestimating how hard it is to make 150k from his current price

Rocky is not a cash cow, you pick him as a keeper and I can't see the appeal at all with this burn man who's not even cracking 3 digits

He scored 102 this week, to earn 150k he only needs a couple of big scores. And I would look at him as a keeper, my point being if he gets injured then he can easily be sideways traded.

Rookies are drying up, can't see too many that interest me from here. Freeman was one I was waiting for but he's injured again.
The back half of the year is always perfect for rookies.
Teams that are struggling will play kids to try and bring life into the season (look at essendon)
Teams that can't make finals will play them to have a look at them before the season is done
And once it gets cold and wet most weeks there'll be more injuries and more seniors missing games through soreness.

They'll come

Got a cut to the head and needed to put a bandaid on it, but they were out of regular bandaids, and only had the wiggles bandaids. He decided he didn't want a wiggles bandaid, so he was forced to miss the rest of the game.

I actually heard the directive came from people higher up in the AFL.  They didn't want a player wearing a Wiggles bandaid on field in China given the unprofessional look in front of the growing Chinese market.

Ridley has looked like a 100 game defender on debut today. Should get a good run at it. 123k defender.
What happens when Hurley returns?
Does Hooker go fwd again or do we play him,Hurls and Ridley back?
McKernan and Daniher will influence his JS too I'd say.

Fwd now.

Smith is a handy swingman to compliment Tom McDonald, 91SC today and looked pretty good.

Smith or Ridley... Who would you go early on if you had to take one?
