Ask Holzman Round 11

[Holz]

Im going to open this up abit early because im going to be free tomorrow and with all the bye issues there might be lots of questions this week. I have spent alot of time working out how to handle the byes so happy to answer questions based on that.

[The It]

is it worth getting Mitchell in this week for JMac. i won't cop a donut in round 13 if i get him cause i got good cover.

[Mr.Craig]

Putting on a late show Holz? ;D

I'd like to stick around but I've spent way too much time here already today.

Mitchell is too cheap to pass up at the moment, if it fits your bye strcuture than i see no reason to do it. The only reason would be if you dont have swanny or ablett and your finishing of your midifeld with mitchell unless its that go ahead get him great trade.

I got mitchell in 2 weeks ago and im happy with him should post up a 100-120 score most weeks.

im from WA so its only 10. I expect when i wake up to have a few questions to answer though. Im thinking of changing it to Ask Holzman instead of Ask the coaches it actually gets a little difficult when there are 3 answers to some questions, im happy for others to give different opinions though. Or to post when im not on

pendles trade or not - prob for someone from same bye ie watson/stanton???
...12 trades left

Holzman, with Swallow out for potentially up to a month there seems to be a bleak look-ahead for future rookies barr tom mitchell and couch. Do you think Sexton is worth getting now even after his first price rise? He might or he might not play for the next month and should increase in value, but is worth getting him from a peaked rookie so you can upgrade a player in the another line. It all comes down to various other factors as in how strong your lines are, the number of trades you have left and your strategy but if you dont really take that into consideration is Sexton in particular good to get?

Holz what should we do with pendles??

You have him right?

gday holz.. i am thinking of getting grimes in ??? is he going to become a top 7
defender?

[TheHanger]

Where do I go

I had it all working out perfectly would have gone Boyd to Ablett, and then Horsley to Boyd for round 13
I would have copped only two donuts for round 11 and it was all looking manageable.

Instead I need to get rid of L Parker (LTI) and Heath Shaw and Dane Swan hanging by threads
What should I do, who should I trade for LParker and and should I try to avoid some more donuts?

I dont think he is becoming a top 7 defender in my opinion he is a top 7 defender. The problem with him is injuries have always held him back, without them i would say he would be a top 3 defender easy. If grimes plays unless he changes role (which i dont see happening) he will give you great scores. Is averaging around 93 from his last 6 games and i would expect that to continue.

Its abit of a risk but i got him last week and im happy with him until he gets injured.

With Swallow out i think sexton will play through the byes and thats enough for me i dont care if he gets dropped soon just needs to play 2 weeks, if he is named this week i would have no problem in getting him. He hasnt gone up that much in price and infact i traded lewis to him yesterday. If you can have some cash in hand during the byes i think it will really help so if you wanted to go something like horse to sexton i think thats a really good move as it will give you cash for flexiblity in the byes and horse will bleed cash.

i will answered whatlez at the same time. Now Im hearng that some people are saying pendles will be back after the bye, im not sure about that I kept Swan and Ablett but im more nervous about pendles. What i will be doing with him probably wont help you i have pendles, swan,sewlood and my plan at the start of the season was to go Selwood to Boyd round 11 but now im going Pendles to Boyd and im going to cop a donut this week.

Now for most people there not in a situation like this, i would say if your really high in the ranking than you probably will have to drop pendles as i cant see him playing during the byes and those 2 donuts will hurt. If you bring in Stanton that's gaining you 200+ points.

If your ranked inside the top 1000 i would say trade him, if you dont have ablett or swan i would say trade to them even if your not in the top 1000.

Hi Holz
In your opinion is it worth holding Scotland and coping the donuts that come with it(also have a Waters donut next round)?
