on track for another average score today.  >:(
has only cracked 100+ 3 times since round 10 and is averaging only 95 in his last 9 games.
gets nearly 30 touches each week but doesnt inflict any damage with it. really pi$$ing me off!

Not sure but he's going to cost me a league win this week (along with a whole host of underachieving spuds). May trade out JPK or Priddis into Griffen for the first round of finals. Can't keep taking ordinary scores from players who are supposed to be premos.

69 points pre-scaling. Nice effort you flowering crab.

Really pissing me off. Have to keep him though  :-\

JPK has gone from must have to no thanks.
Gibbs and Buddy complete my set. Throw in a dud score from someone else having a down game and my team is going to struggle to beat anyone. Not happy.

In answer to the question  I suppose it is a combination of him handballing more than kicking and Jack taking over as the Swan to have in SC. ROK is scoring well and Mitchell has burst on to the scene too. Whatever it is though it's not good for his owners.

Only thing that is making me keep him is his scoring capabilities. Although he isn't playing well we all know how well he can score which is what made him a MUST for the past 18 months. Although not so much now, I still have confidence he can have a good last 4 weeks.

He's been useless! Wish I went with Jack instead at the start of the season

Had the choice prior to Round 13, made a poll and nobody could split them at that stage. One of the worst decisions I made this year,

There is nothing wrong with JPK.

HE always gets tagged and sometimes he sits and enjoys the tag whilst the others go about their job and sometimes he does well with the tag.

I wish people would stop whinging about JPK and other Swans players when they select them. Swans players dont play for the stats, they play for the win.

JPK and Hanners got the tag this week so Jack and ROK could take control, whilst against WC JPK and Hanners had 70 disposals between them

This year the swans have 6 players ave over 100pts (b4 today's game) last yer it was 2 players only. Others have stepped up an jpk is back to pre2012 sc cores. I was going to trade out this week but league match meant I held. He will be the next upgrade for me.

I just think he was a 1 hit wonder.
Also think CD rewarded players in the past who gathered a lot of contested ball, they might have backed off on it this season.
An example is heppell, 18 of his 22 posis were contested & yet he scored in the mid 70s. Players of yesteryear who got contested ball were all scoring well. Not no more.

I disagree with comment in regards to contested ball by CD.

Fyfe's score was 143 with only 30 possies and no goals, but a heap of contested ball.  JPKs problem this week was that his DE was less than 50% and he handballed 2 out of 3 possies.

But I agree, he has cost me big time this year.  I bought him at the beginning of the year and he's been rubbish in the second half of the season.

At least he will be a bit cheaper next season :P

Come on he's still only 24 after having a near Brownlow form season? I'm keeping anyway

Trade if you must! Just make sure you nail it ;)
