R15-16 is when you'd pull the trigger if you were to do it.. I don't think 4 games would be enough from him with what he's currently scoring. He could have a meh 60-70 one week which slows him down, but he's just as able to then recover it with a 110 the next week.
I'd pull the trigger on Newman before Scooter in that situation imo as premium defenders outside of Doc and Adams are normally between the 500-600k mark and are much easier to target, whereas we've seen at least 4 midfielders around or over 700k in Rocky, Zerrett, Sloane and now Titchell, while Zorko and Jelwood have gone to 660-670k also.
Newman will likely be a much higher price than Scooter at R14 with 135 and 113 in his rolling average still at 60k more than him.
But if Newman keeps busting 100s out then you have to keep him as it's just points lost onfield.
Depends on your situation at the end of the day, I'm getting my house in order down back and up forward first, batting 7 deep in each position before I can target 1-2 uber mids and a Gawn/Grundy to complete my team. DPP is crucial with my planning like sticking an Adams into the mids while Newman is a D6.

Who would have thought a 125 from the VC could leave such a conundrum. I think last weeks extreme scores are making it harder than it should be.
Mitchell could easily cover it, but there is some risk (small). Thinking I might play it safe and let my opponent take the risk.

Luke Ryan is a sneaky chance to be a late in for Freo this week. Traveling emergency with Spurr apparently struggling to get up.
One to keep an eye on.
$125K Defender drafted last year as a 21 year old. Last 3 DT scores in the WAFL have been 111, 111, and 89.

Tom Mitchell has scored 150+ 3 times out of 74 career games. I'm not risking a perfectly good 125 score for a few extra points. Whilst I'm sure he'll be super motivated against his old side, Sydney also have some very good inside mids who will have a say about how well Titch is allowed to play.

14 degrees rain, with a chance of hail thunder as well. Why would they bring smith in this week!!!! Stef will score 50. He won't get his usual huge hit out numbers playing against grundy

Which is why I'm backing Zerrett.
I'm aiming that as of Rd 12 I'm batting 7 BAC, with Newman/Marchbank being the D6/7, and one of them to come out for top 6er later down the line. Hibberd will be the M11/D8 that rotates an Adams (who I plan to grab this week) or a Lloyd.
Marchbank's been much more consistant than the MID/FWD rookies so I'm happy to field him for the consistant 70-80 odd over a rookie in one of the two slots I have in the middle (particularly since I went early on a slightly disappointing Lloyd), and Scoot should be M8 till such time as I move him for an uber-Premo.
FWDs I have and issue with, because I can't for the life of me pick would would be a top 7. I picked Macrae and Dahlhaus at the start of the year, and they're second and 5th respectively in total points, but for their past 4 score average they are 21st and 24th respectively. Even Yeo is not top 6 for the past 3 rounds. So I don't know who to lock in if nearly everyone is all over the place.
Of your current top 10 averaging forwards (which is everyone 96 and over) the most consistant are Koby Stevens and Cam Pederson, with the knock on both being role security where you'd expect injury for the former and Gawn for the latter to affect their scoring potential. Like you, I've been eyeing off Tom Lynch, but I don't like his Rd 13 bye where on current planning I have only 18 players (including Hibberd) available.

Stef played 11 full games with Leuenberger in 2015 and his worst score was 87 playing together. He scored 4 100s the 87 and 6 90s in them 11 games together. Berger got injured in their last game playing together and Stef proceeded to go on a scoring rampage straight afterwards.
As long as Stef plays majority ruck and Smith plays majority forward then he'll score ok. The problem last year was it seemed West was the number 1 ruck, not Stef who suffered up forward and probably didn't see a lot of the footy come his way. Just a stupid move from an under pressure coach who rightfully got the chop.
Perhaps with the bye coming up, this was planned to give him less minutes so he doesn't burn himself out in the second half of the season.
Currently, we should look at what Cox does to Grundy's scores in regards to Stef and Smith playing together. As long as Stef scores 80s, 90s for the games he plays with Smith like what Grundy does playing with Cox, then that's fine.
Non-owners of Stef who go Nankilands or Nank-Grundy should rejoice though, as there's every chance Stef will bottom out through the byes now.

So does Collingwood
Parker and Hanners aren't as good inside as Titchell, only JPK is better. Hanners and Parker have very good all round games though. Sydney have conceded a lot of points this season too.
Titchell scored 130 odd against Melbourne, who also have a very good inside mid brigade led by Viney, Oliver and Jones, imo that is a good comparison to look at for tonight.
If I only had Zerrett then I would've banked the 125 as that's about what Zerrett gets most weeks. Titchell and Rockliff are the only two with the potential to go well above imo.
After losing out last week, I'm risking Titchell.

Wouldn't it make sense to ruck Stef more around the ground if Smith is hopeless around the ground?
Stef gives them a target to kick to around the ground. All Smith needs to do is bring it to ground up forward if he plays there and contest centre bounces?
Have the same plus JPK. My opponent has taken Danger's score atm as C. Not sure if I should just match it or take the punt on Titch?

That's fair enough
I don't have Newman in SC, I couldn't get him in on the bubble because I had to trade Gawn out, I thought for about a month Marchbank and Williamson were good enough to thwart not owning Newman, but alas not.
I'll likely hold Marchbank as a D6-7 though due to his consistency there and get my mids and forwards complete before finishing my rucks and backs last.
3 of my rucks have gone down in SC this year, it's bullshit.
Pedersen is scoring well because of his mobile ruck role, it won't last but. If you played AFL Fantasy and got him in weeks ago you'd be really happy with that move. If he keeps his spot in the team once Gawn comes back, I'd imagine he'll score 60s-70s as a marking forward.
Someone like Scooter is more useful than a Pedersen in RDT because he has no issues with a playing role and could be a M8-9 as long as he keeps fit. Worst case we trade him out after 4-5 games and he's an expensive cash cow like what Pedersen will turn out to be unless Maxy doesn't get back.
Stevens has JS issues and is rather injury prone. A no on him from me.
Billings and Wingard could become top forwards, but I don't trust them like I do with Yeo. Yeos bad games are 80s now (his 73 was an 85 but got 4FKA), that's what we want. He should ton up most weeks at home and he has two tons away already which is great. Billings is sky high in price now after a recent hot patch, like what Sloane, Zorko, Sauce and probably McEvoy are currently going through, or did go through but plummeted in price.
I wouldn't bother looking at 3-5 game averages, Charlie Dixon was up there because he scored 2 120s in a row. I'd look at guys who have the ability to ton up regularly like Yeo, Lynch, Macrae etc, maybe Heeney even, or have the most scores above 80, like Steele, Dahlhaus, Buddy. Macrae and Yeo slot into both categories so imo they'll be alone the top 6 forwards.
NRoo could bite us on the backside after the byes, but no point risking it on a 34-35yo with knee issues.
Lynch is the best value going around, he's a significant upgrade on a Roughy for example. I reckon if someone didn't have their forwards or midfield or rucks complete but owned Roughy, you buy Lynch now and keep Roughy til his bye, then upgrade Roughy to a R11/12 type who you don't have, could be a Yeo, Macrae, Stef etc.
Good news (ish), greenwood playing mainly in the guts !

Imagine if Greenwood did a 2012 Zorko
I'll have very good midfield and forward coverage then

The games????
Or you mean the game he played with him
He's only played once with him and Stef nearly doubled his score, 66 to 35. It seemed like Stef was number 1 ruck that day too.
NAB Cup form doesn't mean everything as we all know.
Wait and see what happens, Stef is in 2014-15 mode, not 2016 mode

Got SPP on the bench as my E...Have to play either Lloyd or Fisher with Rocky still out...yuk, i know...Do I cop SPP 54 and hope for no late out's, or do I risk Lloyd. thinking Lloyd can at least score a 60 on the open spaces of subi...worst case is he scores a 45 like last week..

I'm going to take 250 from Dangerfield as captain.
I can't see Mitchell repeating his same effort from last week. I might be wrong, but I don't think too many players have gone back to back with massive midfield numbers (Ablett might have a few years ago) in consecutive weeks.
I expect both Mitchell and Merrett to be around the 100-130 mark, so rather than risk a potential 70/injury I will stick with Dangerfield
