I like westhoff his scores have been pretty consistent good devon smith replacement

Might change my mind, but even though I am super low on trades I'm just going to bring in Gray and Hoff

JJK and Wingard need to be monitored for at least another week or two before being considered

Gray definitely in for Guelfi. If Devon is out for more than 2, and calf’s can linger on, I’ll trade him to the Hoff.

When did this happen with Devon? Did I miss something?

devon injured his calf late in the final quarter of game against Lions and was iced.  Was very ginger when coming off ground as well.

Hopefully he doesn’t miss as don’t wanna use another trade and rather upgrade a rookie...

What has worried me about Westoff recently is last 2-3 weeks he has started amazingly being on approx 60-70 at halftime, then has gone quiet in the 2nd half and not even getting 100.

Anyone have any reason for this?

Maybe he's approaching end of career and slowing down generally,especially in second half of games?
What worries me is he has never averaged 100, and always finishes seasons as an " almost premium"

Port seem to be a team like Hawks in the past that really share the SC points around.
Apart from Gray (when he gets enough mid time) I can't remember a non-rookie player that has been a reliable SC option since Chad Cornes.
Wingard,Boak,Wines,Westhoff,Ebert all decent scorers but fall short of elite with all the point sharing.

Really need at least one upgrade in my fwds this week and next, think T.Mac and Buddy would be better options than port fwds, but the stupid byes make it really hard.
Wish Hinkley would just put Gray back in the mids.

Just to throw a spanner in the works; Wingard attended 18 CB’s on the weekend, most of any Port player....
Super cheap at $375k and Mid/Fwd DPP.

Like Gray he's a beast when playing midfield, but will he continue in this role??

The past 2-3 weeks I’ve seen Ryder on the bench at times in the second halves icing his Achilles. Perhaps that has something to do with Westhoff tailing off in second halves?

Just a guess though, may have nothing to do with it.

I doubt it. He has struggled so far this year, so my bet is they threw him in there to find some sort of form.
You'd think he'd go back to his regular fwd role, or at very least his fwd/mid split that he's done in the past

So what's the verdict on Wingard?

Is he worth rolling the dice on?

I figure my season has been a complete mess up until this point so why not go with this as I've got not much left to lose lol

Wingard way too risky, surely there's some better options for an extra 70k.
