Poll
Question:
One of the 3 have to go
Option 1: Zaha
votes: 8
Option 2: Robbo
votes: 11
Option 3: Dusty M
votes: 3
Which of the three should I trade out? Suggestions please?
Out of them its got to be Robbo.
Really think that Martin is a must-have even thou people are starting to question his tough draw (which i think is a good thing sometimes, if games are on the line Martin is going to be where the action is !!!)
So it comes down to Zarka and Robbo, have more trust the Zarka will improve and Robbo is just a brain explosion away from a 3 week stint on the sideline.
Couldn't agree more with Lions01
Unfortuately I made a huge reshuffle in my side and I got rid of Martin. I just saw Robbo's end of season last year and it was so strong, I couldn't pass him up for this season.
Update: I have gotten Martin again and I am stuck with the same dilemna. I do not want to make a decision until the poll has more votes.
I highly doubt Zaha is going to explode on a couple of bung knee's. Id go with the two guys who are 100% fit.

There was an article published awhile ago saying this year the pain in his knee's was worse then last. So i guess it's getting worse not better. He played with it last year and i'd say it will limit what he can do during the week. Im not saying dont pick him, but maybe this will sway you toward someone else.
"Zaharakis has now joined his teammates for full pre-season training having shrugged off the knee tendinitis that bothered him throughout the 2011 season."

The 21-year-old was given a bigger midfield role from early last season and he thrived on the responsibility, impressing with his poise, decision-making and ability to execute his skills in heavy traffic.
"When I first rocked up as an 18-year-old I didn't have the body and the fitness to go straight in there like some guys do. Guys like Dustin Martin already have the physique and fitness to do it, but for me it's taken a bit of time," Zaharakis said.
"I sort of took my opportunity and in the second half of the year I felt a lot more comfortable in there, especially when Jobe Watson and Heath Hocking came back from injury."

Yeah I traded out zaha just because he is a little injured. Is goodes a good replacement?

As good as any I'd say. Should rip it up in round one at least.
Yeah cheers. What does anyone think of Dustin Martin or Mitch Robinson upgrade to a cloke?
I'd keep Dusty over Cloke, mostly
Same. I'd probably keep Robbo over Cloke too, unless you're worried about the bye?
Cloke for Robbo.
Robbo for anyone? exscept Buddy, Goodes and Dusty.
