Iv asked before but with all these final outs I'm copping to many donuts in two important games should I go Giles to Goldstein who may go back to 2011 form or maybe to Jacobs? Or just hold? Help!

Strongly considering Giles to Goldy.  I did have a look at his draw though and after GC it does seem fairly tough.  Adelaide (Jacobs), St. Kilda (McEvoy), West Coast (Cox/NicNat), Carlton (Kreuzer), Richmond (Maric).  After that it's a decent run home, but I'm worried that his big scores in the last month have arguably come against teams where their ruckman aren't top class (Dogs, Port, Brisbane and Hawthorn).   This is probably the only thing putting me off.

I'll be holding. Better play next week tho otherwise I'll go in with no ruckman (Roughead, Giles, McIntosh, Redden)
Low on trades so Mac will stay and Giles will have to cover him till he comes Back in Rd 16/17.
So I'd definilty keep him as bench cover if not 2nd Ruck.

If they play him and Brogan together (Brogan back this week) it will mean Giles will play alot more forward and can still score 80 easily.
Saying that, GWS wont play Brogan, Giles, Cameron, Falou and Patton in the same team so I fear this won't be Giles first rest. Just have to hope Redden keeps getting games for Port which is unlikely as Lobbe is back.

I could be all wrong though. Giles could have an actual injury.

Yeah but Giles will probably be number 1 I mean he is a lot younger then brogan and he wiill be there man ruck an for. Few years yet

giles will play next week, he hasnt missed a beat yet and its a good chance to give him a few weeks off and get brogan match fitness

Personally will be keeping Giles as second ruck. Trading Giles would be a luxury trade and if u can afford that now ur doing a shower load better then me. Giles only has brogan as his competition, as Patton and Cameron won't ruck and Folau looks lost in the ruck and it's obvious Giles is a much better ruck then brogan. He's played every game this year so just giving him a decent rest ahead of the second half of the season Imo.

i am holding for now he's not scoring that bad

I thought that to I looked at last years form and he scored 144 against the crows and a 100+ against saints I'll be dwelling on it all day. I was eventually going to upgrade him to Leuy but the time may have come early

Went Giles to Cox.  Giles had a lower output when Brogan was playing from memory.  Was always a trade I was going to do and the timing just felt right.

I'm holding, have bigger problems to deal with. One being Hmac

Windigo

Trading to Godstein if redden is out.
