Definitely, on the eye test I was ready to replace him until I checked the stats/scores, will leave him there for now.
He hasn't played since R8 last year a game to blow the cobwebs out pleased to see him have 6 tackles think he will improve so he stays in his price to good to pass up.

Dev has a high floor due to his tackle numbers. He and Ed Curnow were on record pace for tackles in a season when he won the B&F. He should give you a reliable option that won't wow you but will be a good F6 at worst.

Are people getting around the Petracca hype?

My forward line currently consists of:

Whitfield, Martin, Steven and Smith

Would dropping one of the first two players be stupid?

For Petracca I think so, for someone else maybe not...

I dropped Dusty for Petracca...I was able to do heaps with the money though. I want to see another game out of CP before I lock him in but I really do like my team with him instead of Dusty. If I get cold feet it’s easy enough to go to Dawson/Parish/Greenwood/etc

My F1-4 right now is Whitfield Greenwood Petracca Bonar.

Devon is shaping up to be that awkward midpricer which becomes a disappointing top 15-20 forward that you're forced to keep because you have "bigger issues" to deal with...

Agreed I feel like he goes around 85. But for me I’ll take that as an F6.

I’m with Integral and MS

What's everyone's thoughts on Dusty? Will he be in a similar role to last year playing forward a fair bit?

Yeah it will probably be a similar role - difference is his typical 100-105 average looks good as a FWD premium now.

Moved Dev out for the moment. Brought in Walters. Thinking of going light in defence.

Will Snelling anyone? 320k but tiny sample size but looked a whole lot more convincing than Dev did.

He's too fringe at Essendon IMO. Could easily have 1-2 average games and be dropped for someone like Guelfi or Ham. At least with Dev you know he's going nowhere.

I mean, I understand where you're coming from but in his 4 game career he's already shown that he'll be better than players like Guelfi, Gleeson and Ham ever will be.

I guess it's just wishful thinking on my part because that'd be the easiest Dev replacement in history.

Why do you want a Dev replacement?
