Doesn't look like it, but is anyone grabbing Moore or Jamaine Jones this week?

I've actually considered Moore - 60 and 68 not bad, but JS is the worry however I feel like he might get a few more games?

With Chol injured I'd say his JS is ok, the only guy who could dislodge him is Balta.
What does Chol or Balta have to do with Moore? Genuinely asking because not sure as Moore didn't come in for either of them - so who's spot is Moore taking at the moment?

Richmond is moving on from the 5 small, 1 tall set-up. It was never sustainable indefinitely, at the moment Moore, Chol & Balta are vying for a long term position. Chol is out injured & Balta is still serving his apprenticeship. My take on the situation is Richmond don't want a burnout situation similar to Maric, Nankervis is already showing a few signs of wear & tear. All three guys will get time on the ball, the club also realises Grigg isn't answer. As a case in point Naitanui destroyed Richmond when Nank was benched. If we're any chance of going back to back then this needs to be addressed.
I agree but the very case you make puts Soldo in position A.

Thanks mate

I actually bought Moore in. 34 was a poor score - hope he holds his spot for next week - after that he becomes F8 so whatever

Austin is proving a good rookie to have

Shame he only scored about 18 in the 1st half

Ringo

Thoughts on Josh Battle - Could be a good downgrade this week for the Bombers and Dees Forward rookies.

Was that his 1st game? Could b a good option if he replicates it again

Fantasy Freako
Logan Austin scored 51 #SuperCoach and 70 #AFLFantasy points with Nathan Brown off the ground last night.

We just need Austin to put up 1-2 more games of 60+, then he'll be super easy to upgrade to a prem

I might even trade him out after next week - just a short term play, bring him, get 2 scores and 120k+ profit then straight out for a prem before his bye

Might be the right play for him too, because Carilsle and Brown both back will certainly impact him, and looking at his projections after next week his cash gen will start to plateau. I reckon I'll move him on after next week

Toga

I'm really puzzled as to why he was scoring more with Brown off the ground... It obviously meant that he was tasked with looking after Buddy, and it's not as if the Saints try and get the footy to Brown... ???

Next week he'll score better because one of the goal umps strains a pinkie and has to be subbed off.

Both Austin & Phillips are ripening just in the nick of time. The key will be to get suitable downgrade targets.

I agree but the very case you make puts Soldo in position A.

Soldo more of a ruckman than a forward, he may well get a few runs as the year progresses. Coleman-Jones is another who has been trialed forward in the VFL, has done reasonably well but still a few question marks with his aerobic capacity. As for Moore, slightly disappointing game but he wasn't alone, I personally want to see him get a decent run. Continuity is key when it comes to talls.
