would go Hurn out of them was out of him or Johnson just think Hurn is a better player the others are to inconsistent whatever you do don't get Suckling way to up and down which is annoying as his prob the best player out of them at his best

[ubeaut]

Yeah Suckling is 1 of those players u need for the whole journey. Inconsistent. Adcock also capable but inconsistent. Hurn also as he can get tagged out of games.

Johnson I have and has been woeful ever since I got him. He seems to have been given more accountable defensive roles with Duffeild being loose. Hopefully he will return to his old role but I'm not confident.

That leaves Fisher (or injury/suspension prone Waters) Fisher is awesome value and hopefully Blake will be back to free him up more. A proven SC performer.

out off all those players its either gonna be suckling or fisher for me, i have both but lately suckling has been disappointing and fisher has stood up, i hope that fisher remains in good form til the end of the year but with all the shower thats gone down this year in supercoach anything could happen

but i think its fisher for me

[m1tch robo]

Keep Ellis, Consistently getting 60+ scores and starting to find more of the ball. Not bad for a D7

birchall or waters?

also, are you sure your side is complete with ryder and giles as rucks?....

[ballz deep]

What about waters? Don't think your teams complete with giles in the ruck and lake in defence!

[makita]

birchall or waters?
id love to have one of those two but don't want to be left with 1 trade, so am looking at other options.

also, are you sure your side is complete with ryder and giles as rucks?....

Ryder has the 4th best average of rucks so i reckon he's a keeper. giles will pump out a few more 100s, he's not my worry.

What about waters? Don't think your teams complete with giles in the ruck and lake in defence!

Giles can put out big scores. (last 2 weeks 112, 177) and plays GC, Melb, Stk and NM so ill take the chance with him. Was thinking a little about Lake tho, i reckon ill have to hold him as I'm low on trades but he averages 90+ against 3 of his last 4 teams he plays so not all bad signs.

[Diesels Pups]

Pass on Suckling. I went Hurn 2 weeks ago, gave me a good score week 1  but got tagged out of it last week which may be a concern for ya. The others I don't particularly fancy, Fischer cheap but his score wasn't that great up until 3/4 time last week so a bit of a risk. Yeah i say Hurn after all that.

[Sabretooth Tigers]

Brisbane v Dogs at Gabba in rd 23 so out of those you mentioned Adcock. If you can manage it have a look at Lake and your rucks. Whichever way you go, all the best.

[Jroo]

Don't like Hurn he can't handle a tag, Suckling hasn't been scoring well this year, Fisher isn't playing the role he did before but should still score alright. Adcock plays Port and the dogs in the last 2 and should be a good pick

[makita]

was playing around last night, what do u think about using a double trade going ellis to enright/birch then martin to goods? martin has been shocking this year and gives me more money for a better defender? martin is only averaging 8 more than lake for the season and lake has had some stinker scores? if i traded lake it could only be for one of the guys above and i don't reckon they will score much bigger if any at all?

[Elite87]

IMO, of all the options Adock is the best at winning his own ball. Yes he is a bit up and down, but the same issue goes for Suckling, Birch etc. But Waters if you can afford him for sure.

[Blues4flag]

Adcock if I had to choose, the rest too inconsistient.

[Samm79]

Which option has averaged over 90 for the past 6 seasons? Sam Fisher has. The next best is Adcock twice and Suckling and Hurn once each.

Has gone 92, 97, 104 past 3 games, for me this is an absolute no brainer, Fisher all day.
