Anyone looking at a straight swap of S.Gray to Wright?
 
Peter Wright? He had scores of 27, 40 and 33 last year. So not looking at it yet. If I trade Gray out I'd be looking at someone who is a premium not a second year player while others are out of form or injured.

There's no value in upgrading to a value pick unless you feel that player will absolutely become a top 10 performer in their position (top 4 for rucks). Rockliff is the perfect example of a value pick once he bottoms out, I guess Zaharakis and Hunter once were also due to their fast starts, but apart from Rockliff, not many on the horizon.

Ubers like M Boyd, McVeigh, Treloar, Priddis, Dahlhaus will bottom out soon or are bottoming out right now and should be heavily considered. Jack Steven is on the radar also, he's lost 20k recently, hopefully he loses another 20-30k in the next week or two as he generally holds his value well which will make it hard to bring him in later in the year.


You start with value in the hope of finding a breakout contender/leg up to a premo, or you finish with value once the trades are running down and need late season contingency plans (e.g bench/injury cover). Mid-season value picks generally aren't top performers in their position and imo leaves you short compared to someone who would rather play the DT stockmarket and bring in ubers at the right time, a good rookie can do the same job as a value type.

One of the worst examples of a value pick was the euphoria around Brodie Smith bottoming out at 315-330k last year, everyone seemed to jump on him and had him at D6, he only averaged 72 I think, perfect D7 type but not a D6s butthole.
Gone with my original thought and brought in Jelwood. My only issue with this selection is that I can't stand him. I'll have to put my personal feelings aside.
 
A couple of years ago I had Brent Harvey and rage traded him every week. But he stayed in my side all season. You can often have fun with players you don't like. Just unleash a tirade when they spud it up.

From a WA newspaper last weekend regarding Tucker:

"He is probably the most professional kid I have ever had in my program. He glides across the oval a bit and has that ability to gain metres for you on the ground. He is a good left foot kick, he hits his targets well and brings people into the game with his run and carry."

I dislike Higgins and Ward for walking out on the Dogs and not fulfilling their potential with us, but I've still picked them at their new clubs, heck even Griffen I started with last year in both games, massive campaigner he is.

I'm thinking Dea myself.

Adams has higher ceiling and is really only 1 good game away from a 80+ average which is considered basically a premo in defence. But 2 scores now in the 50's is worrying. However, why is this? Is it due to Murphy/JJ/Suckling going down? Or because in last 2 weeks we have dominated play and ball spent mainly in forward 50 where Adams isn't near. In saying that Adams highest score was vs hawks, a team hard to score against. So does that mean Adams scores well vs harder opponents or did he score well when Murphy/JJ was in the side? I don't know.

Dea's ceiling is lower, but he has been more consistant, however can't really trust these bombers players so i have no idea.

Hmmmm tough decision.
 
Are people holding onto Sam Gray now?
 
Might just do one trade this week

JJ -> Laird
 
Who do people like out of Laird, Simpson, Docherty and Fantasia?
 
Laird is the most consistent between him and Simpson. Fantasia is still an unknown prospect to me but he's looking solid. Can't wrong with Laird or Simpson, though.

I am giving him one more chance. But I was always going to !!

With his brother out 3 weeks will hold for now. All I want is an 80-90. :p

Simpson has his next two games at the MCG where he went 120 in the first game. I also feel Laird could have one of his 130 games at home v Freo.
