Hey all,

Just wondering what everyones thoughts about him are ?
He's in my team atm, but with his high price seems to be the one i always look at to downgrade...

Is he overpriced at just over 600,000?
Or is he gonna just get better and better ?

[Blueboys]

Too much $$$ for whats out there. I would down grade him if you need cash.

[tony73]

For who Blueboys??? who can pick up his average? Gibbs?

[Blueboys]

Bartel

had NDS all year last year and he did not let me down. very effective player!
blueboys is right - u can't start picking blokes over 600k from start - u gotta get on the ppl who r going to improve or actually who will improve the most (so u gotta look cheaper) sometimes a swap from NDS to a gibbs is a very valuable 50k to use elswhere, u do that with most of ur expensive prems u can find 200k for a extra couple of mid pricers rather than rookies, ect ect
- u will get him at a better price at some stage if u really want him- i personally will be keeping a close eye on him.

i agree with torress. i haven't got anybody over 600k except for roo (one less trade to use later).

lots of mids between 550k - 600k worth a look.

NDS is pretty consistent with 4 of the last 5 years averages at 115 or so. the year he didn't was around 100. Looked at him for a captain choice since i didn't have ablett) making my team this year. Might still make his way into my team though.

Maybe more upside though!  ;D

[brownmans muffins]

he's a quality player
last year he was very reasonably-priced coming off a down year & was always a good bet to return to the 110-120 average, which he did

try finding this year's nds / hayes type player

there aren't many that have the track record so maybe you're looking for a 90-100 player to get to 110-120?

[jimmyha]

Yeah very true brownmans,
But what makes me hold on to him as well is what he did at the start of last season with the first 3-4 games, posting some huge scores...

that's a sound call; bear in mind you're now footing the bill for those past scores.
there's nothing wrong with paying the extra $ for your confidence in the player.
alternatively you could look for a 100-105, like nds was last year, who either has the 110+ track record or who you think will make the jump... lots of people seem to be putting bernie vince in the latter category
