Essendon Saga??

[Elcapitano]

With all this Tania Hird sh*t re-stirring the pot down at bomber land it will surely be affecting the players..

I have Watson currently at M2.. with Ablett, Rockliff, Beams + the rookies,

Would anyone be considering switching him in with Libba??

[TheMoops]

Sick to death of people doubting Watson due to off-field stuff. Dominated all last year when it was all happening, the only thing that hampered him at all was his injury which all players get.

How do you know any player you pick doesn't have stuff going on at home etc that could affect him?

personally i wouldnt take any bomber that was named in the saga, who knows what will happen with infractions and when

Tbh this is my attitude rightly and wrongly.  I dont know what will come of this and its just easier to remove another little risk/headache out of your team.

Watson I feel is great value so I'm not completely against picking him because he can score some great points in the meantime IF a ban or whatever does occur

[Elcapitano]

Libba & Watson averages going to be similar?

[Jroo]

I wouldn't worry about it, it didn't hurt Watson last year.
If Watson does get rubbed out, it'll only cost you one trade anyway.

Obviously I'm no expert on the matter but I reckon the difference in the probability of having to trade out Watson due to an infraction notice and the probability of any other mid getting an injury for long enough that you'd need to trade him is negligible.

Jobe is a big game player, the more adversity he faces the more focused he becomes. He's also a proven commodity, I would be very surprised if he doesn't average 115+ this season.

exactly, which means he will hold or increase in value and if anything happens it is just a trade.

I dont know how big the chance of that happening is, but it still increases the chances of him being out.

All players can miss games through injury.  People are going off players like Grimes, Hggins, NicNat due to feeling theyll likely have an increased chance to miss games.  Although its a different issue I put Watson in that category.

[Anubis]

Just get Rocky!

[ronl]

Jobe is an out and out champion, I'd be more than happy to be the only supercoach player to have him in my team.  This ASADA stuff will only motivate him further.

[H1bb3i2d]

I'm honestly stoked with the amount of people leaving him out.

[HotTiges]

Still deciding on rocky vs jobe... Help lol

[Doggoneit]

I think we have all been round the mulberry bush on this one - Rocky, Libba, Jobe

In the end I came back to Jobe as he is more proven, if asada rubs him at some stage so be it.
