Don't get sucked in is my only warning.

Canuck

Ya, just look at his average. 130+. Is that sustainable?  No.  So he will be due for some sub 80point games to even everything out.  If you were to get him in, it would only be for the short term only to make some cash. 

I feel like he will the be Westhoff of midfielders this year.  Goes big early before crashing and burning and everyone being surprised when it doesn't work out.

Ricochet

No gonna lie, its pretty tempting. But at his current price I think I'd rather wait an see and bring him in later if he is still going well

in his defense, at least you know you're going to get 100% commitment from him, busts a gut all day for his team

I think he's only a stepping stone, whether or not people have missed the boat is still moot though. On one hand he's only $420k on the other hand everyone on this thread has missed his 2 big games. It's not like this scoring is going to become a weekly occurrence and who knows. He could Hoff it and drop this week

I got him in, not permanently but just as good scoring cash making option for the week. Basically l had to do 2 trades because of Barlow & Deledio, so l brought in Jones & Pendles.

I was going to get Ablett back in (traded him & Higgins out last week for M.Thomas & NRoo), but looking at BE's figured it could wait another week.

So effectively Jones becomes Ablett next week

Annnnd that is what you were warned against.

too bad he went home at half time, was looking good, but fell off a cliff and smashed into smithereens second half

Never considered him and glad about it.

Sweetness

It pissed down with rain in the second half.
I'd back him to bounce back this week

might inspire melbourne to a win over the blues this week!

nah

I think that was a good trade. Although Jones only got a 70 his BE is still low and you needed to free up the cash to bring in Pendles. I would've done the exact same thing in your position (would've selected Macrae first, Jones 2nd though but most people weren't aware of Macrae presence until this week). You'll make cash as well from Jones regardless. Just remember, when he's ready to trade, cash him out  ;)
