OK, Just thought I'd ask because if he was a keeper in your mind. Then I would probably look elsewhere.
Johnstone will score better then Gibbs, I guess it comes down to will that extra 100k make a significant upgrade to one of your players?

Might come down to a Symes and Johnstone versus a Johncock and Gibbs. Leaves my midfield weak though.
Yeah not a lot of difference there, really comes down to personal choice.

is it worth downgrading either McPhee or Lake to Waters?...
i really feel like this is his break out year.

He I am new at this and want some thoughts, have been reading and studying an wantr to know which cashcows to drop and upgrade to good/elite players as i have some cash left over. Cheers in advance guys!
Backs- L- Murry, pettard, duffield, nicoski or edwards (carl)
Mids- Coughlan, Houli, Masten, Palmer Bird
Fwds- Thompson, henderson, tippet (adl)
Or is it better keeping these players and trading mid range players up such as-
Backs- Staker, King
Mids- Priddis
Fwds- Deledio, Didak, Porplyzia
Cheers Again!!!!

personally i would go the johncock + gibbs option. Much more upside there (IMO) and there are a lot more mid options to upgrade to. I'm tipping johncock to get back around the 90 mark
Is this midfield too weak?
Dal Santo, Gablett, Griffen, N Stevens, Coughlan, Houli (Palmer,Bird)
The rest of my team is pretty good, I just need advice with my midfield.

My thoughts on Travis Johnstone are that he will be the 4th midfielder he will get enuf TOG and his disposal wont be under the pressure as much as it was at the dees. I remember Hedland thrived on this at the Lions why cant TJ??? i reckon worth the risk compared to others at his price but thats jus my take

DIDAK or AKER???
Do you guys think its worth downgrading Newman to Waters allowing me to get Kruzer instead of hampson for my ruck bench?
Im thinking i'll be able to cash in Kruzer for Hampson when he returns and up grade waters back to newman if i want.
The posts iv read on here are really selling me Waters.
That would also mean i now have 4 coasters in Waters Nico Priddis and Cox.
let me know what you think of the option above and waters expected out put.
cheers

Your two guns are obviously great, the three young boys look like they will get a run, but having Stevens and Coughlin could be the risk. A lot of people i would imagine will have one or the other, but both may be a bit risky...but then they both might get back to their former glory and you'll be laughing...risky though.

Good point!!
On the theory that Johnstone won't be heavilly tagged and Priddis will be more heavily tagged than last year, would Johnstone be a better buy than Priddis?
It would give me the opportunity to upgrade somewhere else with the extra $50,000
yeah opinions on Priddis or Johnstone would be great im having a similar problem. I have Priddis atm thinking he will pick up the slack and begin to become a star.

Know of any rookies /first year players who are a certainty to play this year.
Have Kruezer and rioli but need a couple more?

Even though he's a better DTer than SCer, I'd rather take Nathan Jones at that price range and use the small saving elsewhere.
Next in line would be Pearce as I think he's got massive upside (Burgoyne-like numbers?), but naturally carries a bit more risk.
For Johnstone:
- ball use = perfect SCer
- new team, new coach, new role etc...
- can see him getting a lot of touches on a wing at the Gabba
Against Johnstone:
- can do better for the price?
- competition for outside midfield roles?
- he's Travis Johnstone...
Midfield is one of those areas where I'd like to be 100% convinced about a $400k+ selection.

As somebody who should know better than most (
), how do you rate him as a SC pick this year?If you include his finals games, last year's average jumps to well over 100. Plus he's had his first genuine full pre-season.
But I'm worried about his consistency and think it might be a safer bet to spend an extra $30k and get Brad Johnson who you know is going to deliver week in, week out (despite the increasing injury risk and downturn due to age). Also, I think his ceiling isn't much higher than his current price and am not sure if you're getting a "sure thing" like you need to be for that kind of cash.
The worrying thing is I just can't find any room for a Geelong player at the moment and want one or two in there because they will have some massive wins and surely finish top 4 at worst. Milburn is 3rd in line behind another couple of elite backs, ditto Johnson as a forward...

After more than a week of having the team locked some tweaking might be needed.
I was DalSanto on the team. Problem is strapped for cash.
I'm toying with the idea of downgrading Chapman (I know) to a forward rookie who will become my 7th forward and then upgrading one of my midfield rookies to DalSanto.
It seems like a no brainer, however it goes against my strategy and gut feeling.
*sigh*
what to do, what to do.

If you could get one of D. Pearce (P.A) or A. Embley (W.C) who would you get?. Or am I better to upgrade either one to T. Johnstone.

You?? Downgrading Chappy?
But what about the grand plan???
duuuuuude!!
(pssst - my feelings on Chappie *still* stand.
)
Embley has had a rocket put up his arse over the preseason and is a must have
will get a massive amount of the ball from half back and the wing + pushing forward for a goal per game
last year was by far his worst in a long time, no chance to get a bit of form before getting injured again and again.
