What do I do with this guy? Killed me the past 2 weeks with scores of 57 whilst I had Spurr and Ellis sitting on the bench scoring well. I've got 2 trades left and $40k, do I do a swap with Fisher/Suckling/Grima/Johnson/Heppel/Rance, play Ellis instead or just give him another shot and hope he comes good?

Def: Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Shaw, Carrazzo, Lake, Dempsey (Ellis, Spurr)

Rest of my team is set, with one of Martin/Goodes/Zorko as M7/F8 backup (+ other playing rookies) and Roughead as my DPP backup ruckman.

i would hold, for some reason he was tagging motlop was it last week? why you would have your most damaging run and carry guy tagging is beyond me, i would think he would be freed up this week....but who knows haha

defintely dont trade with only two left. bench him if u like but if one of your other prems goes down (with 6 weeks left it'll probably happen to at least one) then ur gonna need those trades.

100% hold, any other advice is wrong

dickitch

he's going to go down in price this week so if you were to swap him now may be the time - altho personally i'm gonna hold him this week and put Ellis on the field - i don't feel I have the option as also low on trades

devize

Yeah I would usually hold, and most likely will, but he probably won't be at a price to swap to someone decent again.

Im going to hold him and try and pick who ill think will score the most out of Him, Spurr and Shaw each week. With only 4 trades left and upgrades needed elsewhere, i dont have much other choice really.

How does Harbrow look as a sneaky POD? 97 average if you take out the game he got injured. Decent draw with 3 games at Metricon where he has been scoring well.

should have done dempsey -> birchall last week... and now dempsey dropped 15k whilst birch went up 10k.... think I'm gonna go dempsey-> birchall then have 2 trades left!!

Spinking

2 trades. Hold off for later on. He is more than serviceable until then. Has generally been very good until the past 2.

With Buhda Hocking out he's been tagging the past 2 weeks. First Boak then Motlop. I'd hold.

I have 4 trades and will be trading him for Scotland this week I think.

JamSainter

I am trading him too. You will get the most value out of him this week. He fails big time under pressure and all of Essendons remaining games will be high pressure games with no easy wins.

With 2 trades. Hold your horses till finals

I have traded to Scotland, leaving me with 3 trades and back line below.

Deledio, Scotland, H Shaw, Carrazzo, Enright, Lake, Goddard (S Shaw, Bootsma)

Perhaps the thread should be titled 'what to do with Goddard'? He is killing me

KoopKicka

Hold till finals :)

@Blue yeah, hes killing me too. :/
