2019 Premium Mids

[Samm79]

How often in the past have we traded out a prem and regretted it when they came good.

Can argue both ways though, Ringo. I held Billings until he got dropped last year. Killed my season. Then, because he got dropped, I was forced to jump off and we know what happened then. Had I traded him out the moment it looked bad, I'd have scored way higher and likely even saved a trade because I wouldn't have lost all that cash.

painful memories triggered.   contrary to Mat thinking,  rocky ability to play the season out and reaction to tag see him as poor mans keeper.   2 seasons  at 110, 1 @ 132 since 2011 rest are 100 and below.   BillingsV2.0 all over him at the moment.      Would rather keep heeney or dusty than go rocky as long term option.   In the short term great chance he scores well and makes money.  just two trades required for him or poor keeper option.

Think it’s 3 seasons at circa 110 and the 132, so 4/8 at 110 plus, looks fit for the first time in years, priced at 75, where do I sign?!

Typo?  :P

My thinking with Rocky has been you start with him or don't bother. History says he will miss games at some point. If you start him you are hoping you were getting the average he has pumped out the last couple weeks and you can either use him as a stepping stone to one of the other gun mids or hold him as a M8/M9 if he does get banged up later in the year.

This is exactly why I started with him. Vowed to spend a maximum of 1 trade on him this year. Once he's gone, he's gone...!

As for the Dusty situation, there's a bloke who priced almost identically to him that's started the season well who champion data seems to love..... The Bont. Haven't seen him talked about once as an option

apologies mat,

Problem with bont is he’s still forced to play to much time forward due to the lack of options the doggies have. If he played prodomimantly mid he would be a lock

Dunno about this anymore. Schache and Naughton doing an awesome job with Gowers and McLean running around there too. Bont spending a lot of time on ball and through the midfield.

Agree with wato here. They will rest him in the fwd line here and there, but will be in the guts most of the time. Would love to get him but have Macca and Libba already. Post bye upgrade target for me.

10 minutes into the 1st QTR, Martin was on 39.
At half time, Martin is on 32.

He also looks likely to be suspended for a week.

Glad I traded him out and kept Heeney  8)

[Mat0369]

Martin being pushed forward to try and break the tag

Anyone who didn't start lachie neale is well and truly behind the 8 ball... that includes me  >:(

[whynot102]

I did with Boak

[Gigantor]

Dusty>Neale netted me 111 pts  8)

[Torpedo10]

Dusty only performs when he has a whole armada behind him.

As RD outlined the Injury thread, the Tigers' injury woes have resulted in all pressure being placed upon him, and he can't handle it.
