He looked much better against Port, despite only scoring 70-odd. The Dogs will want him to play as many games between now and September, so hopefully he can stay on the field. I'd be more inclined to offload a Pods or Brown before Higgins personally. Check out today's article for a couple of good forward options!

I was wondering if you could give me some advice on Shaun higgins. Is it worth keeping him or trading him out come league finals time? N if so who would be a good option 2 replace him with?

Rockliff started his good scores around when Brown got injured, and first game Brown comes back he has a mediocre game.. Had it been a bit earlier in the season I could possibly trade him out while he's $360k. That being said, those 5/6 games he had a range of 98-110. That's higher than the majority of forwards and definitely more consistent. JPod would be my trading option if I was looking, he's obviously peaked.

I think i just got a bit overexcited at the thought of bringing in Daisy perhaps, hehe.. Have been thinking the exact same as you with Rocky and Pods though as to whether they are best 22 material. Don't know why i figured Rocky as tradebait before Pods as he is way more consistent at this stage and the fact that you can only really seem to rely on Pods at skilled stadium at the moment really bothers me. He only plays 2 more games there this year, by the way.. Unfortunately, i wouldn't be able to afford Daisy for Pods if i wanted to go that way. Might just hang out the next 1 or 2 weeks on the Voldt when he's down to about 330k if Pods keeps stinking it up, which i'm sure most will be keeping an eye on. Pav is also disgustingly cheap right now too, but i don't know if i want to go near him at the moment as he's been quite ordinary by his own standards over the last couple of months.

Have been loving his year and I've never understood why he is so hated. I can't help but feel if he played for a lower profile club he wouldn't have as many knockers - however, I will pay any joke that anyone makes about 'knockers' and Daisy being a girl. ;) Not sure why you would trade Rocky to Daisy though? Rocky is a superstar and before his 76 on the weekend he had averaged 105 over the past six games with a low score of 98. From Round 10-15 Rocky was the equal highest scoring forward in the league with Douglas (Chappy missed one game during that period). If you reckon this weekend was a sign of things to come, then go for it, but honestly I'd be trading Pods before Rocky at this stage. It would be a massive luxury trade though and I reckon you could genuinely have a completed forward line with Pods and Rocky in your 22 this year. I like Daisy as an option and he'd be a good point of difference for your team, but at this stage I'm looking at benching someone like Higgins, Pods or Gia just so I can keep playing Rocky (I'm not complaining about that luxury...unless my bench player tons up big time - I have a mate who played Rocky over Goodes when Goodes got 158).

Seems like he has pushed aside all of pretentious little nuances of his game that labelled him as the arrogant little turd we all came to know, and has pushed his game to all new, impressively mature level in 2010. I am seriously considering him for my team this week as my final forward after paying much attention to his game on the weekend. With a lowest scores of only 76 this year, we can't deny that he has put the runs on the board and with the Pies playing their last 6 games at the 'G', i really cant see him wavering that much in form. I like the fact that he seems to have taken a leaf out of Swanny's book and is pushing himself to get into some great ball-winning positions and is actually willing himself across all 4 quarters, (noticeable that his motor has improved dramatically this year too) rather than just chipping in with some party-time junk when the rest of his team do all the hard work for him like he used to. Definitely a breakout year for Daisy and i wouldn't be surprised if he comes close to the Pies B&F at the end of the year.

In this game bower had played as a loses defender and scored 118 points. For the next 4 weeks bower rested his quad and played against collingwood to score 105. on the lead up to the game against the saints many dream team coaches got Mr bower in. The night after lockout many coaches were furious to find out that bower had a reoccurrence of his quad strain. over the next few weeks bower rested and by rd 13 he was back playing a tagging role and scored a dismal 62 points. he then did what paul bower does and pulled his quad again and came back in rd 15 and has since averaged a total of 50 points a game. What a fucking waste of a trade. Speaking of wasted trades i finally got rid of Hille this week and traded him to jolly and i played jollys 64 over skippers 117 WTF.
