Premiums
Tom Rockliff ($608,000, 123, 58) – I have a mate, Bob, who traded Rocky out of his team after his R2 61. Since then he’s gone on to score 108, 167 & then 140 in the wet last week. I’d call Bob a dope but at the moment he’s leading my cash league #betheslowontradesthough
Dane Swan ($620,200, 120.4, 71) – Don’t call him chubby.
Josh Kennedy ($587,800, 133.8, 73) – The league’s current Golden Child. Put some spare change on him for the Brownlow coz I reckon he’s polled in each of the first 5 games. In those games he scored 137, 139, 113, 107, and 173.
Mid-Pricers
Nathan Foley ($502,500, 99.6, 75) – 113 avg in his last 3 against Melbourne, West Coast & Geelong.
Jaren Brennan ($501,500, 105.6, 86) – Will pick up the Ablett slack. Freo this week then GWS the next.
Michael Barlow ($465,400, 90.6, 74) – GC and Port are his next 2 games.
Value Picks
Jesse Stringer ($113,200) – 87 in his second game with a -59 BE this week.
Kyal Horsely ($128,700) – 87 in his first game.
Taylor Adams ($136,600) – 80 in his first game and a M/F DPP.
Threw this together tonight because I’m pressed for time. Have no doubt I’ve missed some worthy players. Who would you add to this list?

Pleases me that BOB has done that ….. another poor decision, like the Falau one!

His disposal skills aren’t great – which is why he tends to do better in DT. Not considered “best 22″ by GWS at the moment, though he had one of their highest DT averages in the NEAFL last year.

Why would someone thumb down that post?
It is an accurate assessment of why he’s not playing. Hopefully he will improve in the magoos and provide us with a valuable downgrade target.

Worth making some cash and trading coniglio down for stringer? Will he play at all ?
Hot debate. What do you think?

Yeah, I’m with you now Leo. I saw the article earlier today that the knee wasn’t responding and convinced myself to trade him, but now I’m thinking I might hold.

I have a question for everyone….
Conilgio for Pendles—Tumbs Up
or Coniligo for Marc Murphy—Thumbs Down
Thoughts and Comments? But you can’t go wrong with either, both top draw

I reckon Pendles will be ahead come the end of the year but there won’t be much in it. Maybe worth taking the byes into consideration and go with which ever fits your team structure better.

I’d also look at which gets tagged more – I’m guessing Judd usually gets the #1 tag at Cartlon, like pendlebury at Collingwobbles, so probably Murphy.
@Fishtopher, I’ve never taken the byes in consideration cos I’m playing for league wins, but right now something tells me I should have done so…?

beas no matter how much they tag both of them they will keep smashing out 100′s

Well, I said that cos Murphy hasn’t scored below 118, and Judd scored under 100 3 times this year. Judd scored 87 last week with the Crowley tag. That might help Murphy out-score Pendles overall. BUT I just realised that Pendles’ average without that 60-something vs Carlton is 142, so I take my comment back… so thumb up to Pendles.

take pendles poor game out against the blues and he is averaging around the 120 mark and i reckon more likely to get you those 160-170s every now and then where as murphy is a consistant 100 getter around the 100-120 mark

im really tempted in getting kennedy mainly for his cheaper price compared to the other high scorers. the things holding me off are as follows;
will the swans sustain their good form
will opposition teams work him out to limit his work at stoppages

This might help:
Kennedy wins his own ball. He is a big guy and damn near untackleable, and he can handle a tag. He’s also been handy up forward as he can take a decent mark in a team which has struggled to do that (our smalls and mids are scoring most of the goals).
He might have down games, but he’s a gun carrying on his form from the end of last year. We’ve also got a seriously strong midfield, which means he has a LOT of inside mid support in Bolton, Parker, Hannebery, McVeigh and Jack plus a slew of cameo players (Craig Bird, Nick Smith, ROK, McGlynn).
This can cut both ways – it means from an opposition coach perspective that there’s no point focussing all attention on him (all it means is less attention on the other tough inside mids), but it also means that there are likely to be games when others get more of the ball.
As for Sydney’s form, as a Swans supporter I’m conditioned to expect us to win the unwinnable and lose the unloseable. So I’m the last person to suggest it will hold, BUT our opponents up to the bye are Adelaide, Richmond, Melbourne, St Kilda, the Bulldogs and Essendon. After that there’s still games against GWS, Gold Coast and Brisbane to come.
However, our finals run is Collingwood, Dogs, Hawthorn (SCG) and Geelong (Kardinia) so that may give you pause.
