Matthew Boyd replacement poll

[bombers11]

Midfield - Swan, Boyd, Cotchin, Pendlebury, Kennedy, Whitfield, Wines, O'Meara, Kommer, Viney

Watson/Stanton U/A due to lock out
Not enough coin for Gaz
Is Swan, Beams, Pendlebury a good idea? I'm not convinced

Is anyone looking at a Mid priced or Rookie?

[bombers11]

Kennedy to Moloney
Boyd to Ablett

and use the $165,300 else where?

[t-rent]

kennedy to mcveigh, boyd to GAJ and then upgrade mcveigh to like barlow or mundy if they keep chopping

No worries mate, thought you might get some answers from there. :)

If I were you I would look at Deledio or Beams...

What's the point of getting Lids, I guarantee you if you pick Lids you won't want Boyd back

If you plan on giving up on Boyd for now and will upgrade to him later go with Lids/Beams

If this is just a partial replacement until Boyd returns go with a rookie, make cash then trade him back to Boyd after Boyd's 2nd game, you'll then have enough cash in hand to upgrade a rookie to another premo in a different position. It'll be like Boyd was just on a months long service leave :)

I myself am doing the exact same thing with Oliver Wines, I have $460k cash in the bank. Round 4 or 5 before Boyd's third game I'll trade Wines back to Boyd and with the left over cash try and bring Stevie J into my forwards

No offense, but I don't rate that plan at all... If you do Boyd -> Wines, you'll be losing (115-75) 40 points ppg on average, but you'll be able to get Boyd back in in Round 5 or so... If you go Boyd -> Lids, you'll be losing (115-110) 5 points ppg on average, but won't be able to/want to bring Boyd back in for him... BUT by about Round 6-7 you'll probably be starting to look at upgrading rookies, so why not make Boyd your first upgrade target if you want him that bad? ??? Just means you won't be losing points while he's out, but you'll be able to get him in to your team regardless..

Just think its an absolute waste of points (probably about 200 points by the time you get Boyd back in) by getting a cheap temporary replacement for him, unless you use the money to upgrade elsewhere... That's my thoughts anyways...

Taking out a super premium for a rookie, Then leaving nearly half a million dollars on the pine for close to a month?

Logic does not exist here.

Seriously cannot believe that many people think Lids is going to outscore Beams.... that is almost certainly not going to happen :o

I don't think he's gonna outscore Beamsy, its just a matter of cash I think... Trust me, that last 30K is bloody hard to find!

I'm not going for total, I'm going for league and getting the strongest team possible by seasons end... That means making as much cash as possible

[Toga]

Fair enough.. Still think you'd probably be better off going to another premium though :-X

If I downgrade Maric I can get Ablett. Ablett is the only player I will replace Boyd with.. I still would rather Boyd because I've heard people saying Ablett's performance might drop. What do you think? I can go Maric to any ruckman, McEvoy, Roughead? are any of them worth dropping Maric for?

[Toga]

Hmm McEvoy in for a big year but don't think it's really worth it... I really think Deledio or Watson are perfectly good replacements for Boydy, should both average between 110-115 imo..
