Dude is capable of the highest scores of any player playing the game right now, you all know he will have worked on his kicking, even a 5% accuracy increase could put him in the 120+ per week club.

28 touches, 4.4 and 8 score assists in his first game back from surgery! Best player in the comp and as a key forward at 22, he will get better. Can't not have him.
People who resent the man because of his arrogance are just doing themselves a disservice. He's the most exciting player in years. Just enjoy the rare talent I say.

Brown = better (262 ring a bell)
Undecided weather I should get Buddy from the start. After his practice match against West Coast he looked mighty good.
Who would you get rid of for Franklin out of Harvey, Pavlich and Delidio? I'm thinking maybe Pavlich.

He's 27. Only 1 year older than Riewoldt. Still well capable of scoring big. He has scored over 160 in every season recorded. Has 2 scores over 230.
J.Brown is a must have for sure and nowhere near past it. I'm gonna wait till he drops down in price though. Will probably be the first forwards I pick up! 
Wait for the day where Buddy gets a run in the midfield and still kicks 12 goals. Ablett is totally amazing, but with goals being worth 8 points Buddy has the potential to score higher.

I don't think Ablett is very good one out in the forward line, and I'll believe Bomber Thompsons comments after I see them.
Ablett is strong enough to carve any small back up that plays on him in the forward line as he has already shown at times when his gone forward in the Nab cup.This will only enhance his scoring even more as he stays on the park especially if he can snag a few goals when resting in the pocket
+1 wont be getting buddy till about round 7 or 8
Starting with Buddy, Ablett, Bartel, Judd and Cox. Hopefully the first 4 retain their prices and it pays off, even a drop of 50K each wouldn't really warrant the 4 trades to get them in later so better to start with them. As for Cox wether he goes up or down i've always had him from day 1!
I've never really understood that logic, I mean, you're gunna use the 4 trades to get someone in, aren't you?

lol.
i've had a quiet chuckle about this thus far.
the arguement of 'not wasting trades to get them in' only works if they will perform in the early rounds.
you're going to have to use trades to being 'someone' in when your cash cows mature.
thus my dilema now. i think judd will have a good season, however i think he is a first midfield upgrade candidate.
anyhoo.
back to buddy.. i'm tempted.. right now boomer and buddy are fighting it out for a spot in my team.
Same boat, right now i got boomer in my team, but i am really tempted to get buddy now after seeing his performance in his previous game.

the thing is he played against an Eagles side missing a few key players. even with those key players we're not exactly up there in the competition (yet
).. so his stats can be a little misleading.however from all reports he looked very, very good.
then again by the same token his shit games will be worse than harvey's shit games so he would be a more likely upgrade target.
decisions, decisions.

LOL thats very true, he can have some real dirty days. I'm still leaning towards picking him up around rd 8.
What is making me consider buying him now, is that since he is playing up the ground he can hit those massive scores now more regularly!
Ahhh i guess ill make up mind next week
Thought about getting Franklin too but I have Reiwoldt/Pavlich, Harvey and Delidio and I can't fit another premium forward in.
Most likely will be an upgrade target along with J.Brown and the one I don't take out of Roo and Pavlich.

even if buddy drops 100k he is gona go back up no probs having him rnd 1
After having a quick look through the first five rounds, I'm leaning back towards Mr. Harvey. He has a much more impressive average (higher than his actual average) against hisopponents in the first 5 rounds than Buddy does his (an average well below his actual average).
Hence, I'm going to probably make Buddy an upgrade target for around round 7 or so, before he plays Essendon and scores 400.

Yes of course I intend to use them, my theory is If all things in fantasy land are equal and prices from last year remain the same, within 6 weeks I may be able to upgrade a Rich to a Goodes/K.Cornes type of player yet to get Ablett I may have to wait 9 weeks which means 3 more scores of 60s instead of potential 100s.
In doing this I am taking the risk of a price drop and others picking Ablett up for 500K, i'm also avoiding the risk of Ablett hitting 800K and not being able to get him at all and Goodes dropping to 400K.
It's all about risk vs. reward and we all have personal preferences as to where we take these risks. Perhaps now Spartan can stop chuckling at me cause I have feelings and he's going to hurt them.

I like chuckling.
I see what you're saying GmeUP and I for the record I wasn't talking about you in particular.
Most players its safe to assume won't hit $800k.
Its also safe to assume that most players will only require 2 trades to bring in.
Anyhoo.
Was joking bout the chuckling.
I never meant it would take more than 2 trades I just meant you would have to wait for those trades to evuntuate. If Rich jumps to 300K and Hill to 300K and start gaining only 10K a week due to a poor game in there then you can only upgrade to a 504K player after downgrading to a 94K player. Otherwise you wait it out til they rise enough or are forced to trade a Houlihan or Skipworth down from 450K in another line which will affect your starting backs/forwards to upgrade Rich to Ablett. It will also mean you may miss the chance to straight swap a mid range player for a premium in a slump.
