Broughton

[hally25547]

Hey everyone
Unfortunately I picked Broughton up at the start of the season and after an OK first round he has put in two terrible scores. He just doesnt seem to be getting enough of the ball and he needs to get a lot of it to score a ton as he doesn't mark it very much. In round 1 he racked up 27 disposals for a measley 79. From 27 disposals i would expect more than that.
My issue is that he is going down almost 30k and Enright will most likely go up that much. Should i fork out a trade and an extra 50-60k to get Enright or is Broughton just severely underperforming and he will be back to his old self soon. Or should i get another back premium. Thoughts are much appreciated and how many people are in the same predicament as me?

I have 22 trades left and my team is this.
TEAM NAME: Hall of Fame
DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, B. Deledio, G. Broughton, J. Grimes, A. Otten, D. Heppell (D. Stanley, N. Duigan, N. Lower)

FWD: L. Franklin, S. Johnson, N. Riewoldt, C. Knights, D. Petrie, B. Matera, C. Richardson (L. Tapscott, J. Darling, A. Krakouer)
CASH LEFT: $149,900

Cheers, Hally

I've got Broughton too and im wondering the exact same thing, who could you get for him though? I think i might downgrade him too Nick Suban.

Suban is an option. For me i am leaning towards Enright but if Adcock scores well today he may be an option. I just want Broughton to start scoring well so then i dont have to trade him!

[Juddster5]

Yeah same, he might be able to turn his form around.

Broughton didnt look himself on the weekend. I saw him deliberatley avoid a contest he should have made. He wasnt running at all, if you ask me, he looks underdone or injured.

I'm going to seriously look at trading him out this week before he hemorrhages more money.

Suban is definitely a possibility, Shaw is another... Carrazzo as well I suppose.

[hally25547]

^^ I did notice that during the game. I hope enright doesnt go up in price too much!

I've got the cash to upgrade him to whoever I want... it's enough that I can hold out another week or two for evaluation.

It's too important a trade to over-react.  At least another week or two to make a proper evaluation and take action.

[hally25547]

considering i am going for a league win i think i will see how he goes over the next two game (three weeks) and if he still isnt back to averaging 80+ then i will trade him seeming as lake may be a good target by then.

i`m also considering him down to suban but i have $149k in the bank so i could also afford to go to someone like enright.not too sure what i`m doing yet.

[Ziplock]

if broughton fails next week as well, I may trade him out for adcock.

nobody wanted the brisbane jedi at the start of the the season, now ,for a while at least, they can sit on their sabre

Broughton injured himself and didn't play preseason, he was never a good pick this year and will take while to get back to form.
The worry is that even when he does, most teams now lock a forward tag on him to stop his run. Get off now.

1. He never injured himself
2. He played most preaeason games
3. He never gets a forward tag, Duffield gets the tag

The question I have is the same question I have in the Bruce trade. Where do you go? Adcock's on a bye, Enright has a middling score to carry for three weeks and a bye in two weeks, Rawlings is too inconsistent and Bock's on a team with too many questions. I think you have to keep him....
