Round 1 Discussion - Infinite Eleventh Hour Trades

H. Shaw vs. Gibson vs. B Smith? Not keen on Simpson after last year.

Highlander. There can be only one.

Higgins or Lumumba?

Neither are proven Supercoach performers I went Taylor.

Not with the Bulldogs and Collingwood. I noticed that Melbourne look to give the ball to Harry all the time and he uses it well. He's definately worth a look. Liking the look of Higgins as well. Even if he doesn't improve he'll average well enough to compete in the backline with only one Premium from last year averaging over a hundred. A change of club has often led to improved scoring and both are good punts.

Taylor, while a good player does not represent great value for me despite some good TOG and scores during the NAB. I reckon with all the talls Geelong has recruited he'll get limited time to go up forward, a role which enchances his scoring. Also, for the first time last year Harry started drawing a tag from oppostion coaches and this had an effect on Geelong's ability to set up rebounding play. The jury has to be out on whether or not Harry can get his 2012 average back when he was kicking more goals. His intercept marking will be reduced by closer attention from the opposition and this will also cost him kicks. Great player but not certain he represents the same value as Higgins and Lumumba.

I went with Higgins AND Lumumba.

[Rik E Boy]

LOL. I know bloody Higgins LOL. Gone Luey as well nothing wrong with those blokes. I'm to milk Luey until I can a ruckman who isn't Bruce Reid and I reckon Higgins will be a chip scab at the back for the Roos so good ol Balsa Wood won't get broken.

Yes.

[Alaska]

Lots just promoted from Rookie list, Naismith, Vandenberg, Schneider, Sinclair, the other Saad, Nahas, Gault and Kane Lucas lots to choose from.

[MJ_23]

Don't touch Lucas, Likely sub and once Duggan gets some long minutes in WAFL he will be well ahead.

[Q.]

Hmmm. Now can't decide between Ahmed Saad or Hogan.

I'd go with Hogan, slightly cheaper too

Martin and Cripps spudded it up for me in Round 1. Had to sub on Edwards to get McIntosh's 120 to boost a pretty poor average.

Luckily I had Mcintosh start on the ground as like you I have Martin and Cripps. I feel a lot of people got screwed by Martin and Cripps

Jaeger O'Meara dislocated kneecap.

[Q.]

Ablett... y u do this 2 me

[MJ_23]

Saad and Vandenberg both 40 is at half time and both were popular rookie picks.

[Q.]

Salem and Lumumba spudding it up ffs

[MJ_23]

Salem and Lumumba spudding it up ffs

That goal saved Lumumba (71) and Salem got 50 odd so not a total write off.

Few teams would have dodged a bullet with Gaz last quarter burst. Saad was pretty good
