    Interested in opinions on this one -

    Who would you pick and why (especially in the context of downgrading a rookie forward like Devon Smith)

    Pfieffer - hasn't hit the vest (*fingers crossed*) and has the latest (R13) bye so assuming he is being named can cover you the most.

    Horsley mid only. More looking at forwards if you have someone like D Smith up there, or want to downgrade a Hale or Stanley type.

    not many down grade forward options yet. i'm looking to upgrade Devon Smith but not this week, really need a trade free week. Next week thing Ellis to Wilkes and Magner to Horsley so the following week I can do a double upgrade and Smith will be one of them. Would love Tommy Couch to get named this week.

    I was thinking of upgrading this week. Shiel to JPK & porpoise (currently rumoured to be out this week) to Dell'olio. I'm not budging until Friday but would be keen for some thoughts. Would leave me with just Murphy required to complete my mids. What are everyones thoughts, currently sitting at 2900's overall and if Selwood & ablett both miss this week I'll be fielding 3 GWS in my mids.

    Surely Couch will get a go soon. If your looking at foward downgrades I think these will be coming in the next half a dozen rounds - Zorko, Walsh, Elliot and Sexton. I'm not going to rush for Pfieffer or Dell. Adams will be watched this week.

    Sheil has plenty to moo yet - probably a bit early imo. Forwards are ready to strike before your mids.

    DellOlio - no. The guy definitely has talent, but two vests from two games and I can see him being the perfect candidate to continue that.

    Even without the vests, our injury list is only going to get smaller (touch wood) so I can see him getting pushed out of the side. Far better options by comparison.

    Agree with stowie in that Pfeiffer could be a player that avoids the vest and these days that is invaluable.

    I will be watching Adams closely this week and then most likely downgrade D.Smith into him.

    Would love to do it this week, but had to get Pendlebury in as he has hit the bottom!

    @H_Dons

    Who did you cull for Pendlebury?

    I still have old mate Carrots sitting on my backline pine and really want to turn him into Pendles (with Gaz on the sidelines for another week) in light of limited back downgrades...thinking SShaw if hes named and turning Smith in Pendles...sound stupid?

    The Porps possible out then beomes the major worry because with Smith traded i lose my MPP for a week or two and will cop a blob if Kennedy or Hall arent named. Tough game this year dodging bullets!

    I downgraded Hale to big O (Giles moves off the bench) and I traded Shiel to Pendles.

    Would have preferred to trade D.Smith but unfortunately don't have an MPP link ATM!

    Wait until Thursday and hopefully one of your FWD rookies are named.

    I just couldn't stand Hale's inconsistency and reduced scoring when Broc was playing!

    I needed a good reason to trade out a player I had intended to keep and getting Pendlebury was the perfect excuse!

    Will be watching Taylor Adams very closely this week and he will come in for D.Smith next week if signs continue to be good.

    I've been watching DellOlio, last week at the game, and he seems very lazy for a newby trying to break into the team. is more interested in loose balls and cheap goals than chasing and tackling. Don't think he'll be in the team this week.
    Pfieffer for my choice of the three, talented and keen.

    the oilio is a hack.
    Pfeiffer not much better, but Port dont bat deep so he will keep his spot I think,
    and get lazy 65pts each week seeing as noone playing port bothers tagging.
    same reason B Ebert averages 100pts, even if he does, no teams bother with him much.
    pfeiffer will come in real handy come bye 13.

    To me Adams looked really good - as good as any other of kennedy, Smith, Treloar, etc...
    and he's solid, bounces around, knows how to play footy. Main problem is he's the same as all the other gws rookies so will miss games, get vests, and stand around watching opponents fly by.
    speaking of Bye, its not smart to bring in a round 11 bye rookie at this stage methinks
