Josh Kelly vs Dylan Buckley

[djbics]

So tossing up between Kelly and Buckley for Viv Michie this week, have a fuul midfield otherwise so looking for the best option to make cash up until the round 9 bye they both share.  Obviously Kelly is the better player and I believe he has the better js, however he is a significantly more expensive outlay, and may affect future trades in my forward line  ie Ambrose to Fasolo.  I currently have $160.900 in the bank, considering this trade plus King to Currie this week, then Ambrose to ? next week.  Sitting about 30k overall so the $50k is well out of reach already, looking for more cash generation..... any opinions will be greatly appreciated!

Why Dylan Buckley?

Kelly will be much more expensive and make more cash?

I'm going Kelly

[Jackross10]

Why Buckley? He has showed no sign that he will be a good scorer, doesn't look like he is going to make money that quickly. Kelly has looked great with a 58 as sub and then a 108. Kelly for me easy  ???

Buckley @ 60 average gets you a $170k profit.

Kelly @ 82 average gets you a $190k profit.

The way I see it, Buckley is more likely to maintain 60 and possibly pump out a few bigger scores.

Kelly could generate a bigger profit but I don't think he's worth the extra $80k investment at this stage.

Kelly played the Saints and Melbourne, both teams that leak massive points.  Buckley scored 34 last week against the Bombers who sap points away from the other team for a living (no Carlton players tonned up)

As I mentioned above, ideally neither of these players would be actually fielded (barring injuries and/or the round 8 bye week) as I have Tyson/Dunstan/Polec and Ellis already, so this would be for M10.  I totally agree that Kelly looks the better player, however $212k is a fair outlay for someone who is most likely going to be sitting on the bench.  Was interested hearing peoples opinions as to whether the extra money outlayed was worth the extra points...

[Vinny]

I'd take Buckley.

Sitting at M10, needs to average less to make the same amount of money.

You have guys like Dunstan, Ellis, Tyson, Polec to field instead.

Why spend 200k to spend on the bench when the cash generation is almost identical.

Kelly is more likely for the vest too.

You could also argue Kelly could average huge numbers and make cash more quickly but I'd rather use the 100k down the track to turn Caddy into a premium or something similar.

Yeah, I tend to agree with you Vinny, as having Impey/Ambrose/Rohan and Taylor in my forwards is doing me no favours at all!  No real alternatives atm, so I'm just crossing my fingers that Fasolo hits his straps and makes one of F5/6 his own  (remembering I now have a league focus, so am happy to hold on upgrading my fwds to premiums until bye time)

[Fid]

I'm not making any changes until the teams are announced, who knows Buckley may get dropped or he maybe the sub...and make my decision easier lol

[bwsh]

buckley has scores of 30 odd and 70 odd surely he wont go up that much, kelly has scores of 105 and 58 surely kelly could go up to 350k but wouldnt know how much buckley would make

[cortez]

since Michie is your m10 and not going to be playing him why not wait a week and see how Crouch goes this week? if you dont want to do that though id take Kelly, GWS do have a good run coming up to with Doggies, Adelaide and GC in next 3 weeks.

[djbics]

tbh cortez, I hadn't really considered Crouch, if I could be comfortable that he wouldn't be the sub, then he'd certainly be an option, but as Adelaide dont play until Sunday, I'd probably prefer to have made my mind up by the time Melbourne play on Saturday.... decisions, decisions!

[thetruth011]

I reckon Kelly personally, it gives you another backup M8/cover option when you want to downgrade later in the year.. For example I kept crouch as M8 last year

Well said mate. Completely agree. I have gone Buckley over Kelly as well
