Scott selwood

[portcoyley]

How many scott selwood owners are keeping him after last weeks score. Do any of you think he could be a top 10 mid. Right now I'm looking at getting rid of him and avoid his price drop.

[Toga]

Holding - don't think he will throw up a score like that again

[Jukes]

Why would one shower score make you trade him out? He's a keeper and a top 10 mid for sure imo, and I don't even have him.

Lost of gun players to mediocre against shower teams because they don't try as hard/are on the bench/up forward more/try not to get injured

Trading- A 70 I could have forgiven but 48 I can't. Can't afford to start the league with a loss if he doesn't turn up against a mediocre St Kilda outfit this weekend.

Don't agree with this when you are talking about DT premo mids

Holding him for sure
Both him and Cox just cruised through the game last week they didn`t need to do much we had the game in the bag literally at the first bounce of the ball.
I`m glad people are trading him out because those that hold him will benefit more
And I`m also going to bring up a reminder from last year of when his brother Joel threw up that very bad score v Freo last year and so many traded him out because of it and we all know what happened there don`t we.

Fantasy to a large degree is about break evens.
Selwood will leak cash so a trade to someone who will make cash is a viable option.

This is definitely true in theory. But all it takes is a suspension/injury or two to pop and the best laid plans turn to shower, and you're stuck with an absolute spud in your team who's stopped making cash and is now losing cash, while the player you wanted from the start is becoming more and more out of reach. Exactly what happened last year with a lot of people (me included) thinking they could do a cheeky cash grab with Westhoff and then offload him to Stevie J the following week. But of course injury struck and I was stuck with some lovely 40s from the Hoff.

I agree all good in theory and people were doing this last season as well Ellis is and example
And while everyone was busy trading for cash during the season last year a fair chunk of people where busy upgrading their team with their trades and switching out players for byes.
No good having all this cash coming in if you don`t get the score on the field using a premo player.

Yep, sideways trades don't get you any closer to a finished team, by definition.

I'm going to give scooter a second chance. As well as a long list of under performing  players. Cheers for the advise all.

GONZO! No elite midfielder will score 48, not acceptable

Annnnd wish I had got rid of the muppet.
