Premiums
Brendon Goddard ($581,900, 114.50, 158) – Only scored 93 last week so his BE is high – if you’re one of the very few that don’t have him (and 195,118 do) you may want to hold off a week.
Heath Scotland ($545,500, 108.33, 91) – I’m more than a little concerned that the charges he’s currently facing could mean lost games. If its on his mind, his stats don’t show it.
Brett Deledio ($575,300, 113.75, 139) – Would loved to have picked someone I didn’t mention last week but there was no-one else over $500k who was worthy.
Midpricers
Michael Johnson ($437,200, 98.25, 60) – Threw him into my SCTTL team last week for Fyfe and not only did he ton it up, he’s now do-si-do’ing with my other D/F DPP, Billy Smedts.
Jarryn Geary ($333,600, 98, 7) – Has earned my respect.
Nick Malceski ($411,100, 93.25, 63) – His knee bugs me so I won’t pick him and while I don’t he’s expertly administering a nasty double burn.
Value Picks
Tomas Bugg ($239,500, 80, -29) – If you didn’t take my advice last week you missed out on him scoring a handy 83. Don’t miss out again.
Jack Hombsch ($228,000, 73, -24) – Nowhere near as well known as Mr Bugg but only averaging 7 points a game less and rode outta town with an 88 last week.
Steven Morris ($211,800, 62.25, -15) – For those wondering, at this stage yes he is better than Brandon Ellis ($198,500, 58.75, -11).

Bought Hombsch in last week, very happy with his efforts so far!

Had Hombsch since the beginning of the seaon. He has been giving me a big cheesey grin from the start as there was hardly any talk about him until recently. Has made me a pretty penny.

Was Dyson Heppell close to making Motts Movers scored 102 against the Blues and his avg is:91.0 IMO not bad for a second year player

JWK at Freo would probably be the last player on the list to be named for a game..
Great evasive skills (being groomed as the next Roger Hayden), but just about died during preseason trying to deal with the step up in running/fitness required. Is playing well in the WAFL, having progressed from reserves to the league side.
Don’t expect to see him this year, barring a 2011-esque injury list.

Where’s your proof that Shaw won’t play?
They could have just rested him and make it a surprise for Essendon.

Powerhouse,
It’s all over the news….you can’t miss it.
http://www.sportal.com.au/afl-news-display/thomas,-shaw-out-for-two-172285
I suppose their is a 1% chance it’s all a big conspiracy. But if you were Buckley would you risk 4 points against Port by resting Thomas & Shaw in the hope that you might beat essendon in the next round?? (especially since Ball, Tarrant & Reid are already out and your win loss was 1-2)…….I don’t think so!

Just be careful guys, there could be some late changes to the sides put up tonight. Hirdy is giving players til the ‘last minute’ to prove their fitness.

We’ll just have to wait until 5pm to see if Dempsey’s named. The only issue then (as MJ pointed out) is that late changes are likely and If Dempsey is named then he may not play a full game (see my original comment)

Seeing Hombsch’s name in the value picks, i’m curious to know the amount of GWS players we all now have …. can anyone else beat 8??? I started with 6 but last week traded in Ward and Treloar to bring my tally up to 8. Disappointed with Shiel and Congilio but confident they’ll pick up there form. The rest i’m stoke about there scoring.
Def: Bugg
Mid: Ward, Shiel, Congilio
Ruck: Giles
Fwd: Treloar, Kennedy, Smith

Mine are –
Def: Bugg (on field), Tomlinson (on bench)
Mid: Old Mac (F), Coniglio (B)
Ruck: Giles (F)
For: Kennedy (F), D.Smith (F), Treloar (F)
I’ve got 8, Old Mac instead of Shiel and Ward.
He is a better choice, job security, points and bigger midfield role.

I was planning on trading in Treloar this week, but feel that having 9 GWS players could be too much. Other option is to trade Greene to Treloar, but may be a waste of a trade. I just want a DPP in my mids!!

You can have too many if it takes 2 trades to down / up to a premium?

‘Ceski was my Broughton angry trade and so far it’s been vindicated. Fingers (and knees) crossed he keeps it up.

Cheers Motts! I just done some reading on it. People seem to think that if he does get proven guilty that all he’ll get is a 2 year good behaivier bond and 2 or 3k fine. I guess we’ll soon see!
