NEWMAN!

hibach · April 05, 2013, 07:45:43 PM

what do I do with this bloke? some part of me wants to give him another chance tonight but would appreciate some advice.

current team:

DEF: B. Goddard, B. Gibbs, D. Heppell, C. Newman, B. Goodes, J. Pittard (C. Heath, L. Stevenson)
MID: D. Swan, S. Pendlebury, J. Kennedy, P. Dangerfield, B. Moloney, O. Wines, K. Mitchell, B. Crouch (J. O'Meara, J. Viney)
RUC: I. Maric, D. Cox (M. Blicavs, D. Currie)
FWD: L. Franklin, T. Rockliff, D. Martin, J. Kennedy, P. Karnezis, B. Macaffer (S. Rowe, S. Dwyer)
CASH LEFT: $30,800

Want to give Danger another week, but if he spuds it up again will very happily turn him into Ablett. Don't have Terlich and reckon he could score just about as well as Newman so was thinking Newman --> Terlich, but not sure the best way to then use that cash.

+1 don't judge a player after 1 week except in exceptional circumstances.

Not a great first half & he missed a sitter set shot after the siren.

Chris, if you want to stay in my side, you require a 50 plus second half.

HotTiges · April 05, 2013, 10:14:12 PM

yeah I think his SC days are over.. should of buried that shot after HT siren..lazy kick

Saw enough to have a fair idea and traded him this week

A horse doesn't gain 5 lengths in one week ;)

That's a nice goal Chrissy boy!!

Cruiseon · April 05, 2013, 10:33:04 PM

Not writing him off yet, 63 SC at the moment.

Hippo · April 05, 2013, 10:45:24 PM

Haha shat, he's gained a couple of lengths

1 SC point added since I posted this 45 minutes ago.

Au revoir Chris.

I learnt my lesson last year. He was a premium, but he is now past his scoring prime and on a steep decline.

Yep I now concur. It's time to go Chris. 71pts is not enough I'm afraid.
Could be a trade to Hartlett or Heppell this week

What about Hibberd? Is a bit cheaper and probably a solid option as a POD

+1, had him basically all of last year and burnt me...no chance he was getting back in this year
