Decision time

Memphistopheles · April 20, 2011, 07:16:46 PM

Ok so this is it, the teams for the St Kilda v Brisbane game have been announced and I need to make a decision, which i'm sure many others are also asking themselves - what to do with Broughton.

My options are as follows (unless anyone has another suggestion, and no I can't afford Gram or Enright)

Do I trade out Broughton for Adcock?

Do I trade Broughton to B.Smith (Adelaide)? (I already have Toy)

Do I keep Broughton?

The only other possibility is to downgrade Krak to someone - Hibberd or Wallis maybe - to buy Enright or Gram.

Broughton gets 1 last chance from me this weekend. I want to see if anything changes with Nic Suban going down. Will Freo now use him to rebound from defensive 50 more? Or will he just continue what he's doing now? Anything below 80-85 against the Dogs and it's time to say bye bye.

Keep him... he's a gun.. just playing a different role atm hopefully that will change

im thinking of trading him now. ive gone keep, trade, keep trade.

his price will go down this week and then the bye next week. if he comes good and his role has changed, get him back in. they're sitting 4th so i dont think anything will change that much soon

The problem with Broughton for me is that he will drop again significantly in price regardless of his score.

And then I may not be able to afford Adcock and won't get much cash for B.Smith if I was to downgrade him, although I guess Hibberd could be another option.

The question is - Is Broughton in the top 7 defenders this season?

If he is i want him in my team, if not I want someone else in his place.

Currently my premiums are Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Grimes and Broughton.

I want Lake and Enright when they come down in price a bit and then it comes down to the last place which at this stage i'm thinking either Adcock, Gram or Broughton.

So then who would you get for him - Adcock or B.Smith + $$$$

I'd go Brodie Smith. Had him in my team before lockout but changed a few days earlier. With Adeliade's injury he will get a lot of games meaning he will rippen to a big fat juicy cow. More money for future upgrades.

I traded Hibberd to Smith last week. Wish I had traded Broughton to him as I am now thinking of bringing Hibbered back in due to Essendon's injuries last week. Not sure how Adcock's scores will go with Drumond coming back in soon, plus his injury risks. But hey you do have to take some risks.
