The Disappearance of Isaac Smith.

I thought Smith was a shoe-in to get picked this week with Chance Bateman being out for 6 weeks. However, I'm pretty sure I'll end up with both Smith & Callinan in my team for their dual position attribute. Wouldn't getting Smith this week - if you NEED the dual position downgrade - be the smart thing to do, so you're not forced to pick him up at an inconvienent time when he eventually does get picked? (surely will happen) There's still at least another 3 weeks to wait on Callinan rising in price (possibly longer), which is a good period of time for me as I'll be looking to sell David Swallow or Darling around that time.

Windigo, you sound like you're in a similar boat so I'd recommend Matera -> Smith like I'm doing, which enables me to upgrade Harris in mids as well as swing Goodes into the forward line. I'll grab Callinan when he's on the bubble. Easy, but I can see the other point of view also.

I agree with Jvalles here.

You don't recruit a 28 year old to play SANFL all year.

If I go Matera>Cal & Darling>Goodes

I can then go Lower>Deledio.

2 guns in only the one downgrade. Worth it.

well you don't recruit mature aged recruits at hawthorn to play VFL all year. same principle, could be a risk getting callinan now. sorry to say but there goes your idea of job security 8)

and windigo it seems like you have a crap load of money in the bank!! you would've had to downgrade to make that so essentially it's not one downgrade for 2 guns :P

sorry I'm picking on you tonight! had a rough day + need to deal with a donut cuz chappy's out :(

Yeah and that's why Smith is still a valuable player DT-wise. You shouldn't be relying on him for even bye cover at this point of the season.

this is becoming a growing concern and will destroy me later in the season :-\

Windigo · June 09, 2011, 06:47:39 PM

traded him in a few weeks back.......

Where is he!!?

Surely he was more impressive in his 2 games than Breust?

Bloody hell. :(

Callinan over Smith is looking better by the week lol
