Zorko over Pfiefer easy so that solves that, Selwood is just starting to hit value but the other two will probably end up scoring more than him for now on. Even though i think short term stanton will outscore ablett at 60k less you must go ablett 550k is cheap for what he can do.

So if your short of cash go selwood but if you can afford it ablett is your man.

IM not too sure about his JS but he looks like the best back rookie to pick up so if he is named next round and has another solid game i would pick him up  if you need to dowgnrade becasue there isnt really an alternative. What i have done instead was to try and uprgrade defenders but if you need to downgrade go darley.

Cheers for that...was gonna go with that set up....but concerned about ablett being played in the back half...and his groin strain? do you think this will affect his output?

ablett and zorko, but its hard to go past stants on current form. tough one.

is Sam Darley a good downgrade next week? probably Morris or Bugg

see if he continues to get named. If he plays well then yes, but i see him more as a fringe player for GWS...which isn't a good thing! (I'd trade him for bugg if you plan on keeping one of the two of them for bench cover, due to morris having the greatest JS in the back pocket.)

1) Tough one, shouldn't make much of a difference. But my gut tells me morris this week. :S

2) Probably walsh, saints are struggling with big men and kennedy hasn't been scoring well lately.

3) Mr. Consistent in scotland.

4) Man, I would have thought couch would have played by now. Surely supporters want to see the kid play, I know fantasy players want him in, the dees can't get worse, why not make someone smile and let him play! I would hold until a decent option arrives. You have walsh, so now I guess you wait!

Good luck to all!

have seen comments that it would be good to see Bugg and Darley play in the same game - with that likely to happen this round will give you some really good info for your proper decision next week ...

Morris over Ellis just becasue of the vest thing, everyone said he wouldnt get it 2 in a row but he did so i would have no confidence playing him over morris and would rather take a safe 50+ score.

this is a really hard one, wbased of Walsh's low scores in the NAb and the fact he played melbuourne last week he could score anything this week. I would say keendy is probably the safe option if your starting walsh you could be in for a 30-40 score. Hard to say coming of only one game but i would play it safe and go kennedy.

this depends on who you are playing i would say since there are no good dowgnrade defenders besides maybee darley I would rather upgrade a backman. Even though I think stevie J will score more its probably going to benefit you to get Scotland for 30k cheaper due to the downgrade issue and the fact that forward rookies are scoring well. Would need more details with your team but its very likely scotland will be the best trade.

With couch i have no clue whats going on, should have played round 1 or 2 has been great in the VFL and with all the outs this week im suprsied he isnt in. If you can get in a good rookie drop couch, but he could come in at any stage or might not even play this year.

who to start out of pfeiffer and treloar?

hmm ... almost a coin toss imo ...
i'm a bit biased against Pfeiffer and I would put Treloar on the field but Pfeiffer had a blinder last week and Treloar only got about 50 odd.

looks like i'm sitting on the fence hey?

but i would still lean towards Treloar as being slightly more 'consistent' than Pfeiffer ... avg is ~70 over Pfeiffer's ~60avg

I would go Trealor too, Pfiefer has had one good game i think trealor is a quality player and will play him over pfiefer unless pfiefer proves me wrong, hasnt came close to doing it yet.

who to start out of pfeiffer and treloar?

my thoughts are go with treloar, looks the goods.

[Billz]

Who do you see as more reliable to play all through the byes out of Shiel and Treloar? Will be trading one to Robbo this week and keeping the other.
