R9 Now What???

[geoffmack]

Good idea doogz unfort 60k short. Guess Nic Nat next week.

Another thought.

Cox to R1 - Rowe to F8.

Stevo out for Thurlow

Patton out for Boomer?

[geoffmack]

Hmmmm like the way u r thinking,boomer doesnt grab me for long term mid prem even if he was no 6 mid... HMMMMM......

mind is thinking....

[tor01doc]

OK then.

IN JPK and someone on the rise.

OUT Cloke and someone topped out - like Patton or Stevenson.

Move Cox to R1 / Rowe to F8 - you know your rucks are 'issweak.

Bartel to forward line where Cloke is sitting with a massive BE and the yips.

I can't quite work out what / who you can swing using DPP but ideally moving players to open up a def spot for Thurlow / Webster would be ideal.

Staker if you can only open up a forward spot, but he's probably better for next week.

If you are happy to lose Cloke you can have Buddy, SJ, Bartel, Rocky, Dusty with room for NicNat after round 12.

Then you'll have the furry Coxberger for rucks.

Mids of GAJ, Pendles, Swan, JPK and Fyfe with an eye on Cotchin when he drops a bit more, Watson after round 13 and maybe Selwood?

The only downside is trading out a premium but it is Cloke we're talking about.

MY GOD MAN TRADE CLOKE?? THATS TREAASON!!!!!!!!!

Sorry just finished watching game of thrones. But seriously trade cloke?? He is the number 1 power marking fwd and yes his scores can be up n down like a brides nightie and i did dump him years back after 4 rounds when I had a crack at this and he subsequently went out and averaged over 100 and sent me to ff exile for years!!!!!!

So yes my past is haunting me.  :'(

[geoffmack]

Whispers are Cox to miss so i guess its leuy n gawn christ that doesnt yell fear into the hearts of many!!!!!!! But its only 1 week...

[tor01doc]

Trading Cloke out is a bit of a luxury. I am only thinking that by the end of the year, you'll probably be better off with JPK and NicNat than Cloke and anyone.

You are right. keep him for now. I just like the idea of JPK this week.

[geoffmack]

Tell me why you think JPK this week? I was thinking Watson as a buy in??

[tor01doc]

My opinion is BOTH JPK and Watson should be in your final team.

Consider the next 5 rounds.

Current averages are similar - JPK 122 > Watson 119 - but call them 120 each.

Your midfield has GAJ & Pendles & Swan & O'Meara & Lonergan & Dwyer - all round 13. I know you'll get rid of a couple and may move one out but still, any R13 player in will score 0 in round 13.

So - JPK 5 rounds at 120 = 600 points.

Watson 5 rounds with 4 @ 120 plus his donut = 480.

Also, predictions regarding rises in price also favour JPK.

I'd go JPK given your team, the byes, the predictions and the BE's and the fact that you can grab Watson after round 13 anyway.

[geoffmack]

And I have to say WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!! Once again you have provided expert analysis and that has me percolating over bringing JPK in.

I do like the lad...

[tor01doc]

Just hope your big Cox stays in whilst you overpercolate!

[geoffmack]

Well he boarded the plane bound for wherever GWS are so its a good sign. Waters didn't.

[geoffmack]

Doc u have always been correct this year and I have no reason to doubt you hence the amount of thought i am giving this trade. very not what i had in mind!!!!!!
