Thought he looked a cracking player. Would not surprise me if he played every game this season even with Cats inclusions to come. Was absolute class
It's a tough one in that case.
He can average 90 IMO until Broadbent and Pittard are back. When they return, who knows what will happen. His role right now is brilliant and the reason I picked him up is because of his role and how he looked against the Crows in JLT2.
Few tips for those looking to trade this week:
Ignore some of the scores from GWS on the weekend. I watched that game and the Dogs were hopeless. With Libba gone and any of them barely laying a tackle, every player at GWS was getting way more touches than they usually would. Coniglio and Kelly can rack them up no doubt, but when you have Kelly, Coniglio, Greene, Cameron, Whitfield, Taranto, Shiel, Shaw all close to a ton or over and Tomlinson and Ward 85+, you know it's a bit lopsided. Possession count 437 to 347 is extremely lopsided too.
Don't go too quickly on players like Brayshaw, Fyfe and Banfield. Their entire midfield bar Neale was completely shown up by Port and that shouldn't happen every week. They play Essendon this week and I think they all should improve, given Essendon's lack of pressure and more fast paced play that allows high possession for the opposition.
If you have Rocky, get rid of him. He'll lose cash, and fast. He's had no pre-season and is still recovering from injuries, so will play predominantly forward. Dump and pick up after the bye at a nice cheap price.
Wait on players like Acres with bad JS. Richardson has stated that 'Dunstan will push out one of Steele or Acres, if he returns.'
Gold Coast player's scores were amplified in the wet due to the high tackling style that the weather brings about (think Rayner from JLT 2). Minus around 4-5 tackles off their score (20 points or so) and that should be a more realistic example of their score. E.g. Aaron Young 112 and 9 tackles, would usually be around 90 or so. Darcy McPherson 97 and 9 tackles, closer to a 75 or so.
Give players like Westhoff, Caddy, Curnow, Taranto etc. another week to see if it's an anomaly or if they're the real deal. Better to pay that bit extra, rather than getting someone in on potential and then getting completely burned and wasting your trade.
Hope that helps
This true? Had Acres most of pre season but bit the bullet and went with Hogan instead at the last minute. I think Acres is a star in the making and I personally would be surprised if Dunstan pushed him out. Acres is more outside than in and I feel Dunstan's strengths are inside ala Armitage/Steele. Didn't think Acres would come out in the fashion he did but he looked very good (although I suppose it was Brissy)
Agreed, although Holman was brought in on tackling pressure, so I still think he can average around 70 or so which is still impressive.
Here's the article, just so you don't think I'm making shit up haha:

Treloar also annoyed me with his low ton, especially after taking out Coniglio for him! Having said that, think you have to keep Treloar if you started him. It would be a very luxurious trade to do
Yeah agreed, rule number one of round 2 is dont trade out premiums for any reason other than injury or suspension. If you picked them initially you believe that they would likely finish top 8 in their position, much better bringing in a missed rook as this will benefit you much more long term.
Trel needs to learn to take a mark! Seriously, I feel he gets burnt so much by his teammates. Or he needs to tackle like a beast like he did in jlt 2. He made fun of Titch getting cheap touches but he needs to learn from the Pig!
