Round 3 trades

[Jessbek]

Who's Bear and who should I be trading out for him?

Majak Dawww. Do not question my judgement.

 

[Spider Klein]

Libba's had 20 tackles in two rounds, Howlett has had 12.

This actually supports my point more.

Howlett averaging 122 and Libba averaging 120

Is an average of 10 tackles per game able to be maintained for a season?

Plus my comment was not a comparison, Just an observation that imo Howlett has more chance of becoming a sneaky keeper rather than Libba. Both will make cash so surprised at the lack of Howlett love.

He's also kicking 3 goals per game though - can that be maintained? Given the impact he's having he's arguably Essendon's most dangerous forward at the moment, opposition teams will look to lock him down and his scoring will decrease. He's also played Melbourne (basket case) and Adelaide (decent but not in full flight), while Libba has scored 120 both against Brisbane (shockers but not as bad as Melbourne) and Freo (will get close to the premiership imo). Libba will be more consistent and more likely to maintain his scoring in my opinion, but if you disagree feel free to go with your gut. Certainly a more unique pick than Tom now.

Libba has a better chance of averaging 10 tackles per game (if he is anything like his dad) than Howlett does of averaging 3 goals a game.

Howlett = fools gold

 

[Krujan]

Quite possibly, but Swan > Danger over the course of the season. Danger can become an upgrade target in the next few weeks if he starts scoring well.

It's your team, dude. Reckon Buddy or Zorks will lose more value than Danger this week though.

The way im seeing it, is he is better than his dad .

Most fathers would be proud...I get the feeling ol' Tony won't particularly like his son becoming better.

We might see a return of Tony just so he can beat his son!

inb4 Libba goes sub 70 this week.

Inb4 I have your head on my mantlepiece for even suggesting such blasphemy to the DT gods.

If this does eventuate, I will have a little chuckle to myself

Danger averaging 73, Franklin 81.5. Looks like Danger will lose the most.

I'm not too fussed with bringing in Sinclair to sit on the bench. I'm a rookie heavy in my forwards, however I've copped K's 66 and 9, so a rookie won't do much worse for a week or two. I think the JS of Sinclair isn't too bad, NN looks a long way off. He seems to have overtaken Lycett, so it's his spot unless he stinks it up. He should play at least 3 and give me a cheeky price rise.

Edit - My other option is to sideways K to Kennedy and sideways Danger to anyone bar Swan.

I actually started down the path this week of trading Danger to Jack, but have since revised this and traded him for Swallow. JJK should be a good acquisition this week and there are other performing premium mids to swap to.

 

[Kaizen]

Those looking to trade out Zorko may want to re-consider. Expecting 120+ now.

[Shupe]

Shit, another option. Probably leaning towards this one.

Zorko > JJK (I don't think JJK is a long term option, he'll be pumping out 50's-60's in no time, just hope it's not in the next couple of weeks)
Danger > Swan

This way I get rid of two underperforming premos, rather than trading Karny who won't be affected by price changes this week.

Zorko's low scoring is not due to lack of intent, but a lack of a competent coach midfield time. A sledge from McKenna isn't going to change that.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Lol McKenna. What a flog.

Challenge: Find one neutral supporter (hell, even one Gold Coast supporter) who wouldn't take Zorko over that spud Matt Shaw who somehow manages to get a game every week.

No but it might make Voss try and prove a point by giving him more opportunity in the guts.

I have been wondering what the GC match committee see in him for some time now

 

[Dannnnnnnnnn]

I dunno about that, I doubt Voss would care much about what McKenna says. If Voss doesn't think Zorko in the guts is their best chance of winning, he won't do it.

This x 100 (at least). Some lame pre Q-Clash war of words (my nerves are on edge*!) isn't going to change Brisbane's gameplan.

*Yes, the "Battle of the Bridge" is worse.

At least the Q-Clash can be mildly entertaining. The Suns' website with Daniel Rich having his face drawn over it was gold.

Both are just manufactured crap though.

 

[clogwearer]

Majak Dawww. Do not question my judgement.

Done. Swap Cox to forward, Bear to ruck, trade for Dawww.

On a serious note, haven't watched much of the Dogs but Libba must be seriously good if he's nudging Howlett out of people's teams.

Don't under estimate the size of Vossies ego.

He's had a total of 56 possessions (34 contested), 23 clearances and 20 tackles in two games. In his first game this year, against Brisbane, Tom gathered 28 possessions, 57.14% of them contested. He racked up 11 clearances, 9 tackles, and disposed of the ball with a 75% efficiency rating. Against Freo, a team notorious for giving players little space and time, he racked up another 28 disposals, 64.28% contested this time. He laid 11 tackles, gained 12 clearances and had a disposal efficiency of 79% and was almost certainly best on ground.

He has been ridiculously good for a 20 year old.
