What role did he play today? Didnt see any of the game but his possesion and tackle numbers are low so im wondering if he was playing forward again?

played midfield today. He is not impressing me at all. His disposal is garbage. Ill be downgrading him to Tyson this week.
Yeah thats poor then. I dont mind him having only 17 disposals every now and then but 1 thing I always look at to see if a player was really having a crack is their tackle numbers. 3 tackles for a player like him isnt good enough. His job is to tackle. Great pre season form amounting to nothing so far. Have bigger problems with my team at the moment though
At the moment he isn't losing money because he's scoring as he is priced. Hopefully, he'll come good soon.

Yeah true at this rate I can only see him making 60-70k over a 6-8 out game period. Im punting him out so I can gain some points on opponent. I didnt pick up Luke McDonald and im downgrading Hurn to him and upgrading Caddy to Selwood.
Yep his price is the only thing making me less concerned atm. Give him another 2 or 3 weeks then should have an idea.
I don't have him Quinny but have watched him closely.
Played right in guts and was prominent just didn't seem to bounce his way.
wouldn't b too concerned.
Was a very sloppy game, only a few players looked clean.
Caddy isn't a wet weather player.
Will make plenty of cash until the byes, will have better days than today...

I was concerned about his disposal before the season started and the last two games have justified that worry. He butchers it worse than most and this ruins his fantasy scores.
I'm not concerned...yet, he's doing what is asked of his price
As the other poster has noted he is good value for his price, but I don't think he will ever reach the heights that Gold Coast though when they drafted him pick 7 in 010 draft.
Lucky for the bombers the trade fell through two years ago, I think he is a good, but not great player.
If your looking for a mid priced forward, I'd be looking at someone like Mayes for Brisbane.
I rate him very highly. As for today, it wasn't really his day. Never got into it. Doesn't mind himself consistently in the centre bounce but played midfield. I'd persist with him, I have him, so I will haha. Tough as nails and is working his way into the season, I think a ton is far away.
Yeah he will be a great pick up for the cats but is he a great pick up for your fantasy team?...not always the same thing!
In the preseason while guys like Selwood were out and other teams were going at half pace he picked up 30 possies in like 2 of the nab games...I knew this would not continue during the real season but thought he could hold 80-90,so far he isn't quite meeting my expectations but i will hold him, He is handballing to much and has DE isn't very good he should keep improving but he won't be the money maker we all dreamed of.
Scores of 81 and 71. Average obviously of 76. BE of only 29. Would love him to score more but ATM he is doing his job.
Will look to upgrade him by round 5/6 if he doesn't increase his scoring.
He's not a premium but at that price, I'm happy with scores from 75-100. At least he's getting touches. Wouldn't waste a trade
I'm not worried at all. I picked him because I didn't like any forward rookie being on field
He has the JS, and will be easy to upgrade later. 70+ scores are fine by me

Yeah im hearing you, its not disaster by any means, from my point of view I was hoping more 85-100 range but I guess we are only at rd 2, plenty of time to turn it on.
I think I'll be upgrading Caddy to Zorko, can't do it this week but next week looks likely. Shouldn't lose too much dough given both will rise in price.
I have faith he will come good lads
Have the war chest ready to up him though

He's only in his fourth year. People picked him because we expect him to breakout, not on what he has done in the past.

if it's coming down to Zorko vs Caddy I think I'll go with the proven performer. I'll give him one more week but anything short of a 90 then it's sayonara.

I understand zorko looks great this year but I would hardly class him as a proven performer ... we have 2 games of date to look at this year and if we take a look at last years data then it was a year of burnt fingers

I can't, I have Enright & Hurn, both need to be moved on this week. With Mitchell doubtful there's no way I'm taking any risks down back. Zorko will increase by 50k, Caddy by 20k, I'll just have to take the 30k hit.
As for being a proven performer, he has plenty of runs on the board and is a proven premo when given time on the ball. Leppa isn't Voss, I'm pretty sure he recognises a winner when he sees one. Zorko looks to be in ripping form at the moment.
Caddy should be fine. I am holding firm
I have one trade left and am in a similar position as your Bully...
Suckling to Swallow before the price raise or Caddy to Zorko. Which one will be the cheaper (less of a hit by waiting a week?)

Hold on both accounts imo.
Well I wanted to definitely do Caddy to Zorks, as I am gonna jump off the wagon. Was happy to hold on to Suckling for awhile longer anyway.

Mate im in exactly the same boat, got both Hurn and Enright. Im holing onto Enright and putting Georgiou on the field for a the 2 weeks he is out but trading Hurn for Swallow and Caddy for the Zorko. I figure that if Zorko keeps it up he will make up for the stinking points from the rookie backs.

As a move I think it's got credibility, I'm addressing the backline first, Hurn to Swallow, Enright to Jaensch. I just didn't like Chris Scott's sombre tone when talking about Enright and I figure I'll use this opportunity to build up the bank. Next week Zorko comes in, possibly for Caddy but I will also have the funds to upgrade Rohan.
Can't believe some of the comments and reactions on this post...
If a guy who is scoring 15+ points more than he is priced at is your biggest concern, then you shouldn't be posting here at all; you should be planning how you'll spend your 50k.
What a joke. ::)

Very simplistic way of looking at things, Caddy will make money but so will Zorko, then there's the points differential and the fact that Caddy is unlikely to be a keeper. I won't be pulling the trigger this week but another 70 and he faces the chop. Scores in this region are for rookies not mid pricers.
He seems to be at the bottom of every pack and has first hands on the ball a lot, but not translating into possessions/points at the moment.
The role he is playing is what we want though so hopefully the points will come.

This! Its just a heap of kneejerk reactions to a bloke whos played exceptionally well for 2 weeks and a bloke whos been below what we expected but far from bad.
Now everyone's going to have to put up with the whinging if zorko doesnt fire next week and caddy does.

And if Zorko fires & Caddy scores another 70? I know who my money's on.
BE of 29 and projected to make $15k this week.
Not sure about you other guys but I have waaay more pressing issues.
if he was my biggest problem i would be quiet and smiling at all the carnage i have missed
He copped a roundhouse to the face last week and still scod 81. Yerterday he scored 71 in a wet scrappy game... I'm quite happy to leave him at F5 for now.
Quote from: Bully on March 31, 2014, 05:18:30 PM

Disagree in this case. I picked him because it was a combination of believing he could score 70+ each week, make enough cash so it will be a piece of p1ss to upgrade him, and his JS is unquestionable. That's what I spent 325k on. No rookie could give me that
He's my F5 and I'm happy.. If I had him F4 with Rohan F6 I'd be worried
He is delivering what we picked him for.
He could exceed expectations tbh.
After 2 rounds why would you even contemplate?

Agreed he has JS and he should improve in weeks to come.
