Geelong also like to rest their elderly players. After Steven is brought back maybe it will be Ablett's turn next, then Selwood? If he's getting opportunity with Duncan and Narkle out I'd imagine he could cement his spot for a number of weeks

IMHO because he got Duncan's role on the wing when Duncan went down so although he may hold his spot, I can see him being squeezed out of the midfield
I'm looking at it a little different...
I don't like trading in rooks that are over $300K
If you don't get Stephens this week, I don't think you will, he will be over $300k and not worth down grading to.
Where as Simpson will be around $270k after this week and still make me money if I want hi and I go from Andersen down

I dont think you can get them all. paying over $250k for rooks will eventually come back to bite the hip pocket.
I think you'll get the chance for simpson or stepehens but not both. Personally I think ship has sailed on Stepehens. $288k is too much to back-in off one score. He scores a 30-40 and his cash gen will be over from the beginning.

for anyone with Ward. apparently he is begin dropped this week according to Tom Morris.
Sorry, long post incoming...
Have footywire aligned their breakevens with the afl website yet?
If not could someone post BEs for the following players please:
Florent
Ceglar
Starcevich
McInnerny
Taylor
Pittonet
Rivers
Dusty
Budarick
Above players are my trade options, and with the available rookies this week I believe a double downgrade is the best move forward.
Here are my current thoughts:
Ceglar to Simpson. Nets 339k, probably similar output in scoring this week and could be anywhere from 50-100k closer in price by end of the round.
Quite stumped on the next trade. Only just brought Young in and he is clear in Freos best 22, thinking of holding till he’s back and not wasting the trade bringing him back at a later date. Like someone else touched on, could potentially be a D6 in the shortened season. Role has been right for Florent, scoring has been the issue, so is a hold given the outs to the swans side. This also paves the way for Mcinnery to regain his spot. Starcevich may push back into the wing with Robbo out. Budarick and Taylor have potentially reached their peak now, moreso Taylor who’s BE will be steeper now due to that poor game, Budarick still has a decent fantasy role. Dusty’s form has been off, but it’s Dusty, surely he lifts, still attending plenty of CBAs. Rivers I’m unsure of, still has money to make, but can anyone shed some light as to how far off he is of getting back in the side?
Seems like trading out Taylor looks to be the best move in terms of cash gen. Can bring anyone in by moving him to the Utility spot. My defence looks light having Rivers and Young on the pine, so Macpherson is probably the safe option. Rankine has the best JS, but has never been a massive AF scorer, took him 3.3 to reach 65 points. Hibberd, Butler, and Bosenalvugi I’m not sold on JS. Bosenalvugi appeared to have a pretty good game so may be safe for a few weeks. Stephens the priciest of the bunch which puts me off, but seems to have decent JS. Averaged 78 and 4 tackles a game at SANFL level which is promising.
So I guess my main question is, who are the best rookies this week in terms of potential scoring and JS?

B.E added in quote, expand to view. (ordered high to low)
Grundy = 118
Whilst these may be the official break evens, price rise or drops still factor in total points scored across the round. (Because fantasy love magic formulas)
Ie, if every single player scores 100, and Grundy hits that 118, he'll lose money because 118 is unders if everyone else tonnes up.

Ward out 4-6 weeks with knee injury.
Nice to have a forced trade that you wanted to do anyway.

If Starcevich also gets dropped I will only have Max King as a warm body on my entire bench. Even after this week’s trades.
Reading the Sydney page with Kennedy and Heeney out they may have to completely re-shuffle their team and Mills might see some mid time. He's got a pretty big tank so it could happen, but with Longmire as coach who knows?
Guess that squashes the rumour of Cogs being dropped then?! Fingers crossed anyway.... would hope it helps him score too but assume Taranto benefits even more from it

I've got JPK and Young to deal with which is frustrating. Means missing Rankine.
JPK will be traded to Simpson for the cash. Thinking Young to Mills. He has looked bloody great the last few weeks playing more midfield. No JPK he surely cements a spot in there for at least 6 weeks.... surely

Yeah absolutely no chance he was ever going to be dropped. When was the last time a captain of Cogs ability was dropped for form anyway.
Hold P
Replying before I read the rest of the thread.
This is where I'm at too, and English looks like the pick. Are there any other options (at that price) even worth looking at? ROB obviously scored well this week but I think he's out of my $ range, and once we're higher than that it's just Grundy (I have Gawn and Pitt rn).

The worst part about this is that when BS rumours are given air by mainstream outlets, even the good journos end up lumped into the "all media sucks" category. (I know you didn't say that PAFC27; I'm just thinking of Phil Davis responding to the rumours earlier today.) Actually I guess I'm not even sure who the good journos are these days, but they must exist, right? Anyway it's something that happens in political discourse too, and it sucks.

These days journos would rather be first than right which is why the majority suck.

Even with Taranto back Ward out means Cogs isn’t going out of that midfield let alone dropped. He’s a bit out of sorts but take out the forward pocket game and he’s still got a BCV average of 101 which is around what he was priced at to begin with. No shit we wanted more but he’s still not the worst pick by any stretch.
few and far between
