OK so Rocky is the highest averaging mid I don't have. (Pendles,JPK,Beams,Fyfe,Priddis,Selwood,Barlow)

Is he the best choice for the run home?

GC,Dees,Crows,Pies,Freo,Cats.

Slightly worried about Macaffer and Crowley although Crowley went to Hanley last time they met. I still have GAJ due to other trades and Rocky missing last round.

Im sitting in the same boat and wondering the same thing  ???

WizzFizz

crowley was on rocky for the last quarter and he had 45ish sc

Think he is the one but who else are you thinking about ?

GoLions

Hanley is more damaging than Rocky, Macaffer tagged Hanley last year, and obviously Crowley went to Hanley for the first 3 quarters or so this year. Can't see that changing.

I'd expect Rocky to destroy the Suns like he did earlier this year. No reason why he can't score well against Freo again. My only worry would possibly be the Cats game if they're fighting for a top 4 spot/home final/whatever, but apart from that would be surprised if he averaged under 120 at the very least over the next 5 weeks.

Well who else is there?? I was considering Libba but glad I didn't get him now. Same with Goddard.
There's SJ who's cheaper but again Crowley and also Carlton - I just don't trust him could get 150 or 70 - even as a fwd he was risky.
Those guys have already played anyway. That leaves Sloane - tempted. The 60 K I would save could help turn Shenton into Gray as M9 or turn A.Walker into any defender I wanted.

Anyone else I should be considering?

Callan Ward is so underrated. Have a look at his numbers

Get Rocky, but if he worries you (he shouldn't) then look at Ward

Yes underated. Some good numbers there. Some that worry me (100 vs Tigers,93 vs Crows untagged) and 48 vs Dogs who he plays in SC grandfinal.

100 and 93 are hardly bad scores, but I'm replacing GAJ so I want big numbers! Plus he's played so I would have to take Shentons 55 if I chose him over Rocky/Sloane/whoever hasn't played.

Don't think tags bother him really, he's more into tackling than anything else at the moment.

that depends on the tag! Caffa and Crowley are hard tags and he plays both in sc finals

Crowley went on him in the 4th quarter and he got 14 touches on him

dig a bit deeper and youll know that Ward's 93 against crows was in half a game. yeah he was injured around half time..
Feel free and steer clear i rekon. ive had him since he bottomed out at 480kish and im stoked. best trade this year

Same. So if i make the grand final, these guys are gonna cost me a win as they play geelong at geelong. Might get one good score from them.
