Is Lake a keeper?

[owenbond007]

Im thinking of downing lake next week to shaw if he plays. Then upgrade morris the following week. Lake set for another drop and Im not confident he is worth keeping.

His worst is bad but his good is more than good enough! Will never be consistent with his scoring but apart from Deledio, Goddard, Scotland which backmen are? If you have the trades downgrade him but I'm more than happy keeping him

He's definately worth keeping in comparison to trading in Heath Shaw... The guy I'm starting to seriously consider is Michael Johnson.

Yes! Awesome pick up imo

You haven't got Johnson yet?.... he's been a star this year and his MPP link makes him really handy.

I started with him last year and got absolutely burnt in his first 2 games. So please excuse my hesitation in bringing him in! Hargrave -> Michael Johnson after round 12 for me...

I think he is.

Being a full back he will put in a few downers. But Hargrave seems to be slowing down majorly....

If not for other issues, I would've traded Hargrave before he played at the SCG - a sub-50 score was always coming. But Bulldogs play Port and then Brisbane the next 2 weeks, so he might be a chance to bounce back..?

I'm still gonna keep Hargarve as d7
especially because all defenders are inconsistent including premiums!
so it might gain me a few points here and there however a trade elsewhere would be preferable

He'll be my D8.

Golby D7.  :)

what about grimes

[Spuds11]

Unless lake gets injured trading him is a waste

[Torress]

He is gold for SC when playing well - can also junk it up with kick+mark combos well for DT.
i'd hold onto him in SC but DT i'd probably let him go. i didn't start him, bit of a rollercoaster but lots of denfenders are! if low on trades hang onto him.

micheal jonhson has been a suprise packet this year - i think if you dont have him you have missed the boat. your team can benefit way more for taking a ''punt'' on someone cheaper. especially defenders, no way am i paying over 400k for any defender besides lids or GOD! that 100k will be very handy as trades run out. i'm keeping an eye on yaz, he has bottomed right out especially with the vest on the wkend. hopefully he gets some form and remains uninjured. but his price in DT will be 253k next week with a BE of 115. i'll take that for a D7/8 rather than spend 430k or so on johnson.

[owenbond007]

Im only 1 premo away from completing my team. But i got both him and martin in my team got enough trades to have em both D8 and F8. Will bring Swan in r13 and down morris/lake to shaw this week and sideways sandy to cox. Will leave me with a nice little kitty in bank of bout 270-400K.
