Love this bloke been great for my SC team but the time has come?
I could trade him into  Duncan this week or Cripps next week.   
Problem is BE is 163.  Already at 423K  likely to drop another 40K+ and put up another 50-70 type score.   


Can upgrade him this week into Duncan.    Might be able to do him next week into Cripps depending on how much he falls?   


Will he come good and go back to scoring 1.2+ per min instead of 0.5/0.6 per min?    Backup plan is Smith to Cripps following week and miss on Duncan.

I don't really want to think about trading him, but might have to. I'm trying not to sideways trade and focus on upgrades.

Personally I don't really understand why teams are tagging him instead of Higgins, which is annoying.

We could trade him, and if he turns things around he will still be low 400's in a couple of weeks anyway, so can always bring him back in

It's tempting, but like Rusty I just want to keep doing what I can to upgrade my side, so I'll probably just keep him and hope he bounces back

I'm actually starting to lean more towards trading him now, the more I think about it. Really want Dusty this week and Simpkin allows me to do that with only 1 downgrade. Otherwise I'd have to use up all 3 trades tomorrow night, which seem fraught with danger.

Hold for me, even with the increased trades i am still not going to have enough to trade out under-performing players

What if it was for Whitfield?

I reckon if you DO have enough trades, and it DOES make you feel good, do it!

I held on to MacPherson for weeks waiting for things to improve...

yeah if you want. Anyway else to get him? e.g Dev smith is only 72k lower than Jy atm, but Jy is more likely to be more value for money if he gets over his injury.

I was thinking about trading him last week. The only reason I would do it is if I can pocket some cash by trading him to a cheaper premium to help me upgrade a rookie to a premo. Unfortunately there was no one that I liked that I already didn't own that made the move too much of a sideways trade. Unless you downgrade him to someone like Draper and use the cash to turn say Dev Smith and Starcevich or a Starcevich/Williamson combo into Daniel/Stewart I don't see it being worth it.

I will probably end up holding him and if I need to sideways or upgrade or luxury will use Dev first.   With the byes we can get away with holding players with less downside risk.   I can do Bud or Rankine to Cripps next week,   Probably Ladhams to Goldy the week after,   Def is finished and noble D7, Fwds are finished if I  live with Dev and Simpkin,  two mids required to complete my team.     Best outcome would be Dev as m9/f7 -  Final two mids are in the air will be depend on pricing at the time.   Current mids are Neale, Macrea, Danger, Oliver, Mitchell, with Cripps next week.
