Anyone have him still? Unfortunately with so many injuries I havenâ€™t been able to trade him but he will be gone as soon as I can.

Pretty sure his ownership was around 60%. With him having a bye coming up and still scoring better than rookies I'm keeping him for now. Im gonna upgrade the rest of the field first.

and +3 Quite happy for him to sit at F5/6 whilst I complete mids and strengthen defence. Priorities!!!

Just needs to stop giving away dumb arse free kicks.
I don't think he's as tough as he thinks he is.

In no position for luxury trades such as this, still have MacPherson too :(

He's frustrating, but everyone has him, and upgrading rookies is more of a priority

As some have said, bye cover will be handy too

I'll keep him, and instead I plan on trading Dusty unless he dramatically improves because he's been even worse than Dev

MontyJnr · July 18, 2020, 12:46:06 PM

He looks terrible. Not a premium. Might get a bit of an edge on the majority if you trade.

If you trade him to a Petracca or a premium Demon/Bomber it could give you an edge, just as long as that premium outscores him for the rest of the year.

The positive with Smith is atleast he has made some cash. It hurts more when i realise Laird, Cogs, Dusty, Cripps, whitfield have lost
about 410k in total, and about 68 sc points on average, all now average under 101 due to form or injury.

Yeah he certainly is not the only under perfoming player this year but this is not a usual year he stays.

1) He is averaging over 80 points per match (including last night's 71), which is higher than the forward rookies.
2) He averaged 97 two years ago (last year he was injured), so there is the potential of some upside.
3) He will be useful during the byes.
4) He has DPP, which could come in handy.
5) His price doesn't look like dropping further than his starting price yet.
6) Other than Simpkin, Whitfield, Walters, Petracca and now Greenwood maybe, the jury is still out on the other forward options.

The Bombers midfield is struggling and they are relatively young, so maybe he gets more of a run through there and turns things around.

I'm holding him for now.

To think Whitfield was $30k cheaper last week, if you didn't already have him.

When you still have Pitto & Starc on field Dev is going A OK. Pitto to Grundy this week if I can cobble together 6 DEFs & Jy is OK .
