Anyone back on the Buddy Train?

[timtim]

Last five scores 124, 97, 100, 61 & 119

Tough-ish run home from here (Richmond, St Kilda, Collingwood, North & Sydney)

But SC gold predicted to score around 95-100 mark

Only $465k.... or better value in Bartel or Jordan Lewis at that price?

I am looking at putting him in atm for Nat. I'm a little nervous about pulling the trigger.
He has had big and small scores against tigers and st kilda which are his next two, but surely his 8 goals will give him some confidence. I'm sure he will love the stage against the pies in 3 weeks but he hasnt given the sc much love this year.
He is still owned by 38+ % of teams so if it backfires i guess it might even out.

I still have him, and wouldn't get rid of him, but I also wouldn't bring him in at this point. SJ, Rocky, Roughy, Walker, Boomer Bartel, JJK, Dustbin all better options I think

You make a fair point there kiwi, I guess since I have SJ, Rocky, barrel and dustbin this brings franklin into consideration.
I think out of the other ones you put up i would consider walker and roughy, but i think i'm just short of them in the $.

Yes sorry. My current forward line is Cox, Rocky, Roughie, Stevie.J, JJK & Monfries (Neade, X.Richards)

I can't afford Kruezer so next best is swinging Cox to RUC and then upgrade Nicholls to either Buddy or Bartel

[tbagrocks]

Definitely time to do it yes!

I mean, don't wait a week or two then do it and lose the value!

don't trust SC Gold mate ...   :P   :-X    ;)

now, on topic - go with your gut.

to me Buddy is an X factor - if this fits your team/fwd-line structure, then go for it ... if not and you need consistency more, then go one of the other two ... I would wait a couple of wks on Bartel if you can, pretty sure he has a couple of low scores to cycle through is 3-rd avg ... (i held him cos am down on trades in SC but in DT, he was out like a light and I'll look to get him back in pre-rd21 or earlier if he smashes it this wk ...

good luck!  :)

At this stage would risk it when you have players like Harvey and Lewis who are owned by less than 10% and then Franklin who is owned by 38%. As more of a POD i think it would be better to pick up maybe one of those two (Harvey or Lewis) especially because they have been getting a lot of time throughout the midfield.

I love the bloke...... but no

Who else is in your rucks? Personally I would grab Bartel, coming off a weeks enforced rest and has been a good performer. High BE this week though, if you can swing around DPP players and just cover your field I'd be tempted to wait a week...
