Tom Rockliff Thread

[Bombers5]

What should I do with him. I'm sick of his crappy scores and inconsistency.
I'm very much considering Tom Rockliff out Sam Mitchell in. (Sam Mitchell is better AND cheaper).

You might be thinking "don't waste a trade on a premium."
But, as his scores will tell you, he isn't really a premium.

Talk, discuss and throw ideas.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH ROCKLIFF?

[elephants]

Keep - We've been through the bad, don't person out now :)

Not going to lie though... Have considered Rocky -> Selwood.

I have him in my side too im keeping him, i know hes going to probably bleed cash over next few weeks but maybe he can come back fresh from the bye and start scoring well again, Black will be back from injury after the bye so less attention will be on rocky hopefully, and plus hes still got one more game against melbourne and Gold coast which he scored well against this year :)

Mitchell would be a nice trade if you have trades to burn which i dont.

The thing is, I don't want to take the risk. What if he keeps being crap? Then his price drops and I wont be able to upgrade. Going to Mitchell will give me a more solid scorer and a nice $20,000.

I have 12 trades and if I do this, 11 trades.

will be keeping all my premiums now including rocky the time for sideways trading premiums is when the end is drawing near and trades are left that i am saving for LTI, should allow me to make a few upgrades sideways for the last 2 or 3 rounds, league finals and a late push for rank overall.

Just can't afford to burn any more trades injuries being what they have been already.

Fair enough, but look at Rocky's scores. I don't consider them to be premium...

no your right they arent im just short on trades, if you have 12 or more and not too many needed for the byes or rookie upgrades i would upgrade him, until Voss stops playing him forward it isnt going to get any better except when he flukes (the team) flukes his getting bags of 5 goals, can't see that happenening too many more times....

I have 12 trades. If I go Rocky > Mitchell I'll have 11 trades, a solid scorer and an extra $20 000. I'm 90% sure I'll do it.
;)

ALSO

If I don't do this now Rocky's price will go down, making it hard to upgrade him if he keeps sucking,
AND Mitchell's price will go up and I'll miss the perfect opportunity.  :o

Can't see why not with 12 trades left.

I had a 50/50 choice at the start of the season to go Rocky or Boyd.

Picked Boyd. :D

theres a few words id have for mitchell after starting him in my team, solid scorer arnt two of them :P

there both ave prietty much exactly the same

rocky: last 3 ave - 95.3
           season ave 99.60

mitchell: last 3 ave 93.7
             season ave 102.7

Seems like a bit of a wasted trade to me.....

[miffysp]

I have rocky in sc and am also sick of riding his rollercoaster.
Altho how peeved off will u b if he has a run home like last year? He absolutely smashed it home.
I been considering going rocky to priddis and pocketing 100k

[Ziplock]

maybe he's a strong finisher like goodes? :/

That's true now that I look at it... He's pretty inconsistent. Thanks for noting that  ;)

[Bombers5]

OK guys what about Rockliff to Priddis??

Get about $65,000.

Sound good? ???

[miffysp]

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. Trading him out just for him to dominate likenlast year. Seriously have a look at last years scores
