What do I do with Palmer?

Plastic Boy · April 03, 2011, 09:31:40 AM

This guys is an absolute ball magnet, he racked up 18 possessions last week(10 in a qtr), then was subbed off, this week he racks up 54 points in just over 1 qtr.

I picked this guy hoping he would ave 90-95, which he easily can, but he's been the sub for the both games and I cant have a midfielder not getting max time.

Should I trade him out?

Foley to Curnow

Palmer to Murphy

id be inclined to sticking by both of them.
surely harvey will start playing palmer more often, he is a jet.
foley showed against the saints after a slow start he can find the footy still and ellard and robinson will replace curnow soon enough

I have same problem with palmer and foley.

The problem is with sticking with them they will use you $$$ in the shorterm - I specifically got them to build towards a prem. and they aren't doing that so time to go - plus I can get the same scoring from curnow and the likes at the moment but.....

Palmer is annoying b/c he scored 53 in the last quarter after being subbed on and his 50 odd rd 1was b/c of the sub
Foley will probably loose the most but will more easily climb back - he had a fair bit of the ball against the saints, just handballed way too much

Will be thinking about those points alot over the week

I would stay with Palmer. Who say's that Murphy or anyone else you choose won't be used as a sub from time to time?? After Anthony was used as a sub yesterday I have no idea who will be the sub anymore. Palmer won't be a sub forever.

i dont know much about palmer, but on a sub not have they all been injured, interupted preseason, fringe player or a ruck? trying to get a grasp on who subs could be.

Carlton were winning by over 100 points last night and Ratten used the sub on hampson, if there were ever a time to sub Murphy it would have been then, I cant see him getting subbed at all.
