Very curious.
If you have Barlow

Thumbs up - Holding

Thumbs down - Trading

Thinking Barlow to Lambert or Barlow to Papley
Thumbs up for Lambert
Thumbs down for Papley

I did Barlow for Lambert and Rocky for Parker. Had Parker in my team from the start and became convinced by all the commentary to switch to Rocky just in time for R1. I've still got the bruises from kicking myself.

Tom Rockliff?

TU - Keep
TD - TRADE HIM! TRADE HIM NOW!!

haha same!

Expert: "You have to take a super premo at $550k!"
Me: "But what about his injury record?"
Expert: "$550k!"
Me: "Brisbane will be terrible and they have a crowded midfield!"
Expert: "$550k!"
Me: "OK! OK!"

Fast forward to now.

Expert: "You have to hold him, Super Premo, $550k"
Me:

Gresham dropped, Dunkley on the extended bench

If Dunkley not named as well who would you trade out for B.Kennedy?

TU Gresham
TD Dunkley

Barlow is named back in his usual spot on the ball - maybe that means he will get to more centre bounces - I think he only made 3 last week. I am going to hold him. I am trading Gresham for Hewett

A masterstroke.

It's hard to get a read on Barlow's role going forward from Lyon's latest interview (Let's face it, Lyon speaks in riddles half the time anyway). He identifies the new centre square set up as a major cause of Freo's losses but then says that they'll 'fundamentally' stick with what they're doing and not change much. The fact remains that Barlow only averaged 93 last year (18 down from the previous 2 seasons) and spent enough time forward to be MPP. While he might well see some more midfield time compared to the first 2 rounds, I think he has slid down the midfield pecking order, especially with the emergence of Neale and then Mundy and Fyfe's big seasons last year.

He was named on-ball in R1 too.

One for the thumbs

TU - Rocky - Papley via dpp Dahlhaus Wells Kerridge and Barlow - Adams

TD - Bench Rocky play Davis trade Barlow - Hall and Rich - Adams

Comment for other options

I think there is a better option than Lambert. He's very awkwardly priced and needs to be a keeper for that outlay. Is he a keeper? He had a cracking game in R1 but last week he looked to be playing predominantly half-forward and while he scored 101, it came from only 17 touches.

I'm liking the look of Zac Merrett. He averaged 88 last year (2nd year) but is playing as a genuine on-baller now. Good in close, tackles and applies pressure but also has the wheels to rack up plenty of the ball on the outside. Kicks more than he handballs and can hit the scoreboard.

Here are his SC relevant averages over the first 2 rounds - 122.5 points, 31.5 disposals (10.5 contested), 76% efficiency, 5.5 tackles, 1 goal, 3 1%ers.

Get on.

I went TD because your TU option means that you'll have a WHOLE LOT of cash sitting in your account until upgrade time and your team will be very rookie heavy in the meantime. Another option is Rocky > Hall, Barlow > Papley. I think that with your Barlow/Rocky/Rich conundrum, you can only really afford to grab one of Papley or Adams. The question is, which one?

Sloane and Gresham
to
Libba and Hall (plenty of DPP forwards)

T-Up: gotta do it
T-Down: just grab another rookie (eg Parish) for Gresham, or even just hold!

Thinking of keeping Rockliff and trading De Goey for Papley and Mills for Hall,
Didn`t really want to trade Mills but all the rest of my bench will make money and Mills is the only one that will give me enough to get Hall.
I know Mills will make money and Rockliff will loose money but think this saves a trade later on and also I can use Rockliff for the Captain loophole ,so can V/C Ablett and if he scores bad can go with Dangerfield down at Geelong.
Thoughts, what price do people think Mills will get to?

If you had to get one which one

TU - Papley
TD - Adams
