Gee its getting hairy isnt it. Powell, Steele, Roma all looking suss.

Underperforming premos left right and centre. Even the magical Bont is looking a little dubious.

Seems like big Maxy is the only player you can rely on at the moment.( I ve probably jinxed him now, the Supercoach Gods are ever spiteful)

Yep.
I'm trying to hold my premos myself
I have Steele and Rozee.
Both I expect can turn it around
Mid pricers like Powell are gone though. He's done his job

 

[AFDogs]

Big Maxy is gonna go 170 again isn't he? Choosing English over him (and persisting) has single handedly destroyed my season.

 

[Pocket Aces]

Meek and Sweet owners (that don't have Jackson in the fwd line), what will be the magic number for Sweet to score tonight which will convince you to trade Meek this week and have Sweet as your permanent R2 for the next month?

That money by trading Meek will come in very handy for upgrades. But of course there is always the risk that Sweet gets injured at R2 and then we are left scrambling to fix up R2 going forward.

Seriously has to be 150+

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

Libba and JUH back this week. Hopefully Lobb dropped.

Anything 80+ for me from Sweet Nelso and he’s locked in at R2. Has a real chance against ROB.

Means Meek can go up to Zerrett.

I'm 50/50 on keeping Powell or not.

Is he going to get his mid position back? Any news?

I dunno. Those price rises look like small jumps. Not sure if he was ever 107 BE. Maybe. A reminder of how damn good that legend was. Perma VC.

Maxy will be around 740k if he scores a 150 this week.

Gawn hit $790k in 2020 (granted, scaling was a bit whack that year)

EDIT: six-round average of 163.8

Yeah we don’t include 2020. Shortened quarters. Screwed up stats everywhere.

Soft.

He was my R2 last week with Livingstone at R3.

Wait for teams mate.
Nothing of note yet.
I'm trading him either way tbh.
He's a midpricer he's done his job.

For me tonight it's

Been considering the same.

With the crapshoot of the forward line though, I reckon anything 90+ is acceptable as a premo forward.

So far, Powell is averaging 87 with 4 scores (out of 7) of 90+. (95, 129, 92, 73, 98, 73, 49)

Prior to last week, he was still averaging 93. Then last week he only got 14% of CBA's (moved to half forward) and scored terribly. All other weeks his CBA attendance has been fine.

Phillips has come in and gotten some of his time and Simpkin has been used more (after starting at half forward) the last 2 weeks. On the weekend, Paul Curtis got 26% (basically his first for the year) and I thought he looked decent/added something different in there.

There's been some mention of Phillips losing his spot (and Simpkin carrying an injury)? Do you know if either of these are true? I think if one or both of those guys are dropped, I'll hold with the expectation of a return to normal mid time (and ok scoring for a forward) but if both are named, then I'll upgrade to mid premo as the risk of terrible half forward scores (with a B/E of 115) is too great.

Thoughts?
