i know its late as Sucklings price has gone up $106,000 already this year, but Stanley has gone up $127,200 and smith has gone up $107,200 and Lower $103,400 ... i just need a good scorer as my 7th defender , and if i get him in i can put Puopolo on the bench so my midfield would be

Gibbs, Deledio, Adcock, Enright, Goddard, Heppell, Suckling (Puopolo, 9th, 10th) 
and i reckon that would hold my backline up for the rest of the year barring long term injury


Good Call Bad Call?

Id probably keep Stanley as the GC byes are done after this week, My gut says theres more upside to keeping lower
but wait untill teams are released this week as Lower was subbed on the weekend and may not be in Harveys good
books at the minute, he should play against his old team this weekend youd think but could also be dropped due to
form and that may make your decision easier.

thats what i was leaning towards, cause i just traded smith in a few weeks ago when Suban went down , and i hate doing two trades on one player . . and lower has probably been the most disappointing of the three so far

I know what you mean i had Waters LTI then went to Bruce LTI and then to Grimes LTI in one team.
That team is basically stuffed now as 3 trades for one spot with little upside has all but ruined any chance
of it being a decent side come finals time. Fan Footy can be awfully cruel sometimes.lol.

Smith out for Suckling for sure? Hang onto Stanley for another 2 games at least he'll have growth in him after scoring 88.

Yeah has to be Smith with the least upside unless Lower is not named. Hold onto Stanley

Just going through the NAB Cup AFL Record with all the players and Mr Fantasy's Predictions for each player
and this is what it says for Suckling: Will struggle to get reguular senior games time. Pass
looks like he was wrong on that one.

if i make a trade this week it'll be done at the last minute... all the input has been helpful , but im still no closer to making a decision. lol

just checked all the breakevens
Stanley = 35
Lower = 58
Smith = 106

Suckling = 22

so the best way to increase team value would be Sucking In For Smith

and considering they have both gone up about the same , thats most likely gonna be the trade i make

Thanks for all the input guys, made the decision easier for me

Understand Suckling has been solid but all hawks carved it up on the weekend.  Im thinking smith for chaplin this week as someone different.
any thoughts??

bundyboy
