Position 2026 Forwards

Honestly, go with your gut. Sounds like you’ve identified Bailey so go for it.

Yeah the gut goes to be different hence why go with Bailey.

But would look to bring in Kozzie down the track anyway

Interesting trying to work out what this means in relation to Baileys scoring.
He was given more CBA's when suitcase was out but dropped significantly when he came back in.
But he still scored 130...but it was North.
hmmm

Gee Lachie Neale numbers are off the chart for CBA.

Sorry Bailey, I think it might have to be Lachie turn

Even without the CBAs, Bailey seems to be playing as a ‘5th’ mid where he can get disposals, use it well, tackles a lot and can hit the scoreboard.

Plus it’s his contract year, so I guess he is trying add more $$$ to his contract too.

With Bailey, his role with McCluggage back is basically the same as it's always been (high HF that pushes up to stoppages). Gun, but this is his ninth season and he's never went above 87. Not sure where the extra points come from – he's had hot streaks like this before

He's still in that bracket of 10-15 guys who could push for F5-6, but at that elevated price, probably a pass for me. McInerney and Rachele are better value with better roles, and guys over 500k like Kozzy and Touk will average more IMO.

You made some valid points. I reckon ill spend the extra 30k and get Kozzie in.

But I’ll keep an eye on Bailey during the year

kind of appeals.becauee he has a decent role and the price is acceptable.
But he's not really value, he's priced at or above output, and he doesn't exactly ton for fun.
Think two FWDs are the go his week,.but Rankine and Warner together is two questionable top ten premos in a fairly weak line.
Would rather wait and see on Trac and Took needs another week in any case.

I don’t have any hard stats Scoops but from all the games I’ve seen this year, he’s definitely playing FWD more as he is getting most of his touches between wing and half forward and not doing a lot CBA wise.

The only game he spent more time on ball was against the Hawks when Heeney and Gulden were both injured.

For this new role I think he will have to kick 2-3 goals to ton up

Just my 2c I think there are better FWD options

 

[Deliverance]

2MP gonna be full time ruck now?

One of the most frustrating owns in SC history. Looks like prime GAJ for 5 mins, then looks like Relton for the next 25 mins of the quarter. He's got a temporary spot on my Never Again List. Might reconsider his position in a couple of years, but for now he's a no.

Nick Bryan played his first match in the VFL last weekend. He'll be back playing AFL in the next couple weeks.

Had him last year and was a painful own. Never again for me (unless he moves clubs)

He was a fun non-own last year, reading all the melts.

Similar experience, keep circling back to that.
Definitely.grabbing one Adelaide FWD this week, leaning Rachele, ideally not both, though.
Touk worth waiting another week on,.could just wait that out, but have been carrying 500k-odd.around for thres weeks, not ideal

Yeah, he's mostly.been in the 80's this year.
Seems.tk.be around the middle more.with Gulden out (and Heeney for a time), but just sort of drifts in and out and he has been missing shots at goal

What to do with Flanders?

I'll be holding him this week but I don't have Rankine, Bolton, Rachelle or McInerney so sideways to one of those is tempting me.

Hold. None of the blokes you mentioned are guaranteed to average more than him from here on.

Luxury upgrade him during the main byes, or keep him as F6 or M9/F7 cover.

wouldnt be trading him to any of those blokes but i dont hate it. hasnt set the world on fire and not sure hell kick on from here. if youre in a good position otherwise in your team then betting against him to get a proper premo (for forwards id really only go trac but could swing some things around if youre deep there already) a get a leg up on the rest of us who will hold him for a while.

ive been thinking about it myself for a couple weeks but have other trades to hit first - but the next few weeks with no one really needing to go, im tossing it up. could be a winner trade

I like Flanders less than the others I mentioned, but I get the point. Maybe Tracs the way to go, I let him go few weeks back.

Flanders has the last bye, easy swap then if needed. Surely we're trying to get the rookies off field, especially forward?

You can't win supercoach sideways trading.
