As Deano says, the Bulldogs were screaming for a forward for years, everybody kept pointing to Pods but the Dogs kept knocking him back.

That’s a super-strong forward line. I wouldn’t touch it if I were you. Remember that there will be plenty of cash-cows presenting themselves throughout the course of the season so I would definitely save the trade until then.

hey guys,
whats everyone’s thoughts on Rockliff do you reckon he’s a must have.
He’s a good player, plus he plays forward/midfield and its certain that his price is on the rise, not sure if i should trade him in, already have pods on the pine.

i cant think of anyone to trade for him if i do get him, and i dont want to waste a trade on my reserves. i love my forward line, but i might need the cash for a upgrade in the backline/midfield later on.

my forwards at the moment are: Brown, Chappy, ROK, Pav, Higgins, Rioli and Ziebell

good pick-up swiper,

i didn’t notice him being placed on the LTI list last week. you’d guess he can replace motlop when mitch brown comes back,(not sure of the rules myself), but then that means mitch brown is back- another key forward for geelong to chose from.
and i looked it up, chris tarrant won the anzac medal in 2001 with 5 goals. it was peverills second game, he had a game high 5 tackles.(when tackle counts weren’t obscenely high as they are these days).

I’m in exactly the same boat with who you have in the FWD line Deano and am leaning towards resisting the temptation – keep coming back tothe Beau Muston rule

Hey Watts,

How about replacing Motlop? Is that possible? With Peverill, I know he got put back when Misiti was right to go (can’t really elaborate any more than that though). He didn’t win the Anzac Medal (I think it might have been one of Hirdys 3). I do agree with your many valid points on Pods… buyer beware. He may just be the flavor of the week. Two weeks ago everyone was trading out Harvey… egg on their face the next week.

A week is a long time in footy…

isn’t pods only elevated whilst mitch brown is injured, which looks like being only 2-3 more weeks, according to this site. then he’s out until round 12 or whenever it is that rookies can play seniors again- regardless of how well he’s playing. think peverill a few years back, he was playing really well but still had to give up his spot to the Senior player who returned from LTI. may have even won the anzac medal that year. Pods is there to fill in for when chappy needs a rest, moons cops a suspension, or tomahawk has a hair and nails appointment. He will not take any of their spots whilst they are fit, based on form. Scarlett, Stokes, Varcoe and Rooke all coming back in pretty soon as well. Tread carefully if using a trade to get pods in now, but i couldn’t recommend it. Rockliff looks safer but hey, its round 4, what are you trading for anyway? you can’t have every cash cow in your team, and good options pop up all throughout the year, these two aren’t the be all and end all.
