If you could go Caddy to Parker in one trade (used 2 already last week), would ya?
Do you have any other issues in your team.

Non playing rookies, shower F6, Leunberger, no obvious rookies like Dunstan etc.?

Have Clurey and Michie but can't see a lot of other options for them right now, mid rookies apart from that are spot on, and have Higgins F6...

I say go for it. You will be trading out a midpricer for a keeper and for just one trade and 150k I think it's worth it. Caddy is projected to actually go down in price over the next couple of weeks while Parker is projected to increase by quite a bit so now is the time to pull the trigger.

Caddy playing West Coast, Hawthorn, Port, Richmond, Fremantle, North, Sydney over next 7 weeks.  Can't see him scoring big in any of those games except for maybe Richmond.  If you think Parker is a keeper then the trade is a no-brainer.

Would honestly be surprised if caddy gets over a 100 in any of those games> Hence why i've gone caddy to rioli.

shower that is a tough run. With Parker still on the right side of 500k I'm definitely warming to the idea.

Geelong aren't exactly a bottom side to be so affected by that draw. They could even win 6 of those 7. But I get your worries about Caddy.

Bully

He's still got a manageable break even so I'll hold for now, I certainly don't like him in my side and don't think he's capable of scoring tons. Will probably average 75 from now on which isn't nearly enough, maybe a swap for Cloke or Petrie in 2 weeks.

I have the bloke too and frustrated like hell with him. One interesting thing about Caddy is he paying $101 for the brownlow. Now to put those odds into perspective, Treloar, Wingard, Ward, Murphy and some other guns are priced at the same odds. There are some other great players that are even priced higher.
Now I am not saying brownlow odds are anything to go by in selecting players in your side, but in Caddy's case they probably know more about him than what we see. He only has Bartel, S Johnson and Selwood before him in the market at Geelong.
I don't know, I am at the cross roads with him, I am most probably going to stick with my gut feel and hang onto him a little longer, but the brownlow market has made me open my eyes a bit with him. If he was a spud they'd be enticing the punter with some juicy odds about him, say $251.
$101 is to short in brownlow odds at this point of the season for him. For example Burgoyne is also paying $101 and I kid you not I wouldn't be surprised he is leading the brownlow count right now. 2 BOG's in a row and maybe a point last week.
So with a B/E of 59 I think I will give him another chance. Hopefully the bookies are right and he whacks out a couple of big ones.
