Ol Motts is moving house this week which means my evenings will be spent boxing stuff, lugging it down 2 flights of stairs, packing it into the car, driving it over to the new place (fortunately only about a kilometre away – love South Melbourne), lugging it up 2 flights of stairs, then unpacking it. God I hate moving.
Anyway, what that means is that I’m not going to have the time to analyse the Movers and will once again be relying upon the knowledge, analytical skills and writing talent of our superb community.
One name I’d like to submit: Lachie Henderson. Not sure of his stats but reckon he’s had a pretty good month from memory.
Thanks to everyone who contributes in advance.

PS If anyone is looking for a 2 bedroom apartment in South Melbourne at a decent rental rate, the place I’m moving out of is without doubt the best I’ve ever lived in. I’m moving coz I’ve bought – one of the side benefits of having a wildly successful website 😉 Email me via the About Us tab at the top of the page if you’re interested.

Bought what, a cardboard box? 😉
The Henderson kids. Ricky and lachie. Both swingers with staker
Thank goodness, I’m sick of buying tyres!
Kicked myself on Sunday when in the middle of an arvo session in pub I traded Hanley to Malceski. Imagine my horror when I saw on my team R Murphy. Bloody iphone. Must of hit the wrong button. No reverse trades. Well, he went on to bang out a 148 or thereabouts. Ha!!! So my mover this week is bloody Murphy!! Go dogs!
Ricky Henderson $469,900
The numbers don’t lie. His last five read 101, 85, 106, 160 and 110 this round. His run home makes for good reading too with Port, NM, WB, Melb, WC. Plus he’s DPP!!
Lachie Henderson $484,100
8 scores of 110+ in his last 12 show that Lachie has finally arrived. And he’s also a DPP!! Run home is Freo, WB, Rich, Ess, Port so maybe wait one more week if you are afraid of the Ross Lyon curse.
Corey Enright $495,300
His season’s range of scores is 76 to 116. For the non-mathematical, that’s a pretty consistent set of scores. He won’t pull in a monster score but he won’t spud it up which is the main issue in SC defence this season.
I honestly can’t recommend anyone sub $450K but if you’ve got trades to burn or very little cash left, consider ….
Blayne Wilson $183,300
His JS is rock bottom – he’s played in rnds 11, 13 and 18 but he’s scored pretty well when John Worsfold wrote his name on the team sheets with 89, 56 and 82. West Coast appear to have pulled up stumps for the season so that may increase his JS a fraction.
Just wondering about Charlie Dixon for a slightly cheaper option. If he is over his injury concerns and can pump out scores around his current average of 97 he may be good value. ( Currently $426 500 )

Loath am I to call any defenders Premiums this year, so you’re getting mid pricers. Lots and lots of mid pricers. Here they go:
Heath Shaw:
$499, 900 Avg: 102.6. Own %: 26.97.
Finals run: Sydney, Hawthorn, West Coast, North Melbourne.
One of the better averaging and more expensive options on the list, Shaw has a hardish run in the finals.
Bryce Gibbs:
$420, 000 Avg: 96.3 Own %: 42.34
Finals run: Western Bulldogs, Richmond, Essendon, Port Adelaide.
MM has been putting Bryce in a run-with role, so I hear. If he is allowed to win the ball, he could be a bargain pick-up if you don’t have him. Is capable of huge scores.
Corey Enright:
$495, 300 Avg: 94.75 Own %: 8.07
Finals run: Port Adelaide, West Coast, Sydney, Brisbane.
Mr Consistency himself. With all the carnage and uncertainty in the back line, wouldn’t it be nice to have someone reliable sitting back there? Still a great POD, and should escape resting as the Cats seek a top-two finish.
Trent McKenzie.
$466, 500 Avg: 96.62 Own %: 5.45.
Finals run: Melbourne, Port Adelaide, St Kilda, GWS.
Cannon must have wondered if he wandered into a strange parallel universe when Bucks decided to tag him over Gazza, but nevertheless, Trent’s laser-like kicking has guided him to two tonnes in a row. Check out that run in the finals.
Michael Johnson:
$470, 500 Avg: 88.06 Own %:1.62.
Finals run: GWS, Melbourne, Port Adelaide, St Kilda.
99, 99, 95, 110 in his last four. Good form, fantastic POD potential and brilliant finals run. But always, always beware of Ross Lyon. ALWAYS BEWARE OF ROSS. He could keep up and average 100+, or drop down until you’re lucky to get a 70 out of him. Ditto Garrick Ibbotson ($435, 000) and Paul Duffield ($360, 900).
Hamish Hartlett:
$ 412, 800 Avg: 89.35. Own %: 19.06.
Finals run: Geelong, Gold Coast, Fremantle, Carlton.
Probably better options. I’d avoid, personally, but if you like what you see…
The Hendersons (Lachie and Ricky).
They’re defence/forward swings and have been tearing it up recently. If you think they can keep their form up, they could be very good ins, however I’m sure opposition coaches would be monitoring ways to curb them. Will their hot form cool off?
Is Ricky Henderson the real deal … can he maintain this form for another 5 games?
Can we et a poll on how many trades people have left/think they need for finals. Sorry if this is the wrong forum to request this.
