Hold faith or sideways to Gibbs?

[Ricochet]

Sideways trade him if you have no other areas of concern.
He doesn't look like a keeper at this stage. Plus Gibbs has bottomed out, where as Scotland is projected to lose a lot of cash over the next month

Agreed, but if trading him messes up your bye structure, consider holding and trading to a birchall/hanley for your rd 13 trades.

I'm holding for one more week.

He has the Bombers who he averages 87 against over the past 6 years. Some of those games he copped opposition teams #1 tagger -  something that 100% won't happen this week.

Yes, he will leak cash and yes, the chances of him going 100+ are tiny BUT If he pulls an 80odd then he will be about the same price as Birch ;)

Scotland -> Birch! Only costs ~20k!

I'm probably holding. Can't really afford to trade out a "premo" who is playing this week since I have more urgent problems like Moloney, Lonergan and (maybe) Dwyer.

Im really torn

I dont want to trade him as if he can even return to the solid 80-90 he had early in the season he is as good as most to have in defence. Trading could be an overreaction from 2 really poor scores, one where he may have been injury affected on the weekend.

But on the otherhand now could be the right time to offload him before a price plummet like hartlett (who i have held).

If i offload him then i can get gibbs, otherwise I will have to wait til post bye for gibbs (will have too many R13s with 5 R13 mid premos, Goddard and Robbo also.

I guess it comes down to getting gibbs for him this week or doing an upgrade to a midfielder instead next week (eg barlow)

I'm holding. Upgrading my "premos" will come once I've gotten rid of all my cash cows, which should be complete by the end of the bye rounds. Then I'll look at under performers like Scotland, Hartlett, JJK and Cotchin...but for now I have to hold them.

gone for me. trading him for stanton via vlastuin dpp. works nicely considering the lack of solid defender options. barring heppell goddard and gibbs, vlastuin is scoring as well as any of these so called "premo's"
