Do I give these guys one more chance??
I could put them on the bench for duigan, darling.
Or should I trade them????
Please help!

Put Dauigen on if he plays but definly play Knights of Darling......and keep them both as they are major cash cows..

i would play knights this week against port. otten is a bit more expensive than a rookie, so if he gets you 60 odd points a game, wait till he gains a bit of cash and trade him off

Knights an all-season long keeper as your 6th/7th forward. I've got him and am going to use him that way. It's tough to justify selling Adelaide players after you've already copped a BYE weekend from them, but if you don't have Adcock or Suckling they could be decent upgrades for Otten. You can wait a week on Adcock and get a price rise out of Otten so that's not bad if you don't have Adcock.

knights will be one of the last guys i upgrade in the forward line bar LTI's.

if otten keeps getting 60's i dont mind, will just keep him as an emergency incase of short term injuiries and is good cover to have... will only trade him if he gets to around $300k or injuiry.

You recruited Knights as a cash cow and want to trade him out BEFORE he makes any cash? He is only just back playing AFL and for 221k is pumping out pretty good scores.

He has only played 2 games and should pick up. He's performed extremely well for his price... I don't get why you're considering trading him out, he's a good player and could raise his average...

Keep him until he peaks imo if not for the season.

What were expecting from knights, 90+ a game?

hardnut · April 13, 2011, 11:05:02 PM

knight is ticking along as expected and for that matter Ottens is too. Neither were ever 90+ avg possibilities. I didn't pick Ottens but he was always a short term option. Knights is a speculative keeper or late upgrade for sure

i have both and im very happy with them. Otten is a solid bench option with fantastic job security and both guys should score well against port. Im only going to drop knights early if i can take advantage of upgrading him to chappy or dids

Actually if Knights got back to his form of a few seasons ago he could definitely avg 90.

He is a keeper IMO, as 6th/7th forward, unless u want to use him for an early upgrade.

Let Otten rise in price and then upgrade him :P
