125, 136, 147.
Who is bringing him this week and how? His ownership is about to skyrocket I think.
Neale is playing sore and looking a week to week proposition. Has to go. 3 sub 90 scores is enough. Regret I didn't pull the trigger last week. Anyway, Fyfe DPP will switch to mids paving the way for Ridley.
Started him the last 3 seasons
I got him in half way through last year when he was looking good and then he scored 70,115, 76, 136, 73, 119, 64.
He was a yoyo and was a liability during SC finals, so I know once I get him into my team again he will stink it up.
Last year he started with scores of 100, 94, 134, 122, 111. Hope he doesn't disappoint again.
Must have, particularly now the defence rookies are vulnerable. Traded Cripps and despite the ton I'm still up 38 points for the week. Struggling to see how he's not top 6, probably nails down a top 2 position alongside Lloyd.
Does anybody know why he finished off so poorly last year after such a hot start?
He looked like he was used from time to time in a lock down role and the opposition put some more time into negating him.
Any chance of that happening again this year because I don't want to cop the 60's and 70's every second week again.

I think that natural improvement & a more open & flowing game will ensure he averages 105-115, his long kicking game is perfect for SC and he's also taking a truckload of kick outs. Add the intercept marking and you have a player who could feasibly replicate Docherty when he had his breakout season.

Makes sense. Looks like everything has fallen into place to make him one of the safest bets this year.
Was following his stats in his preseason game. He played on from all of his kickouts in that game but didn't start him. With Hurley not playing atm, he is getting more kickouts. After Rd 1 I picked him up as a had a feeling he was in for a big year. I haven't seen anyone his games this year but must have just naturally improved. His average disposals have gone from 18 to 29 and rebound 50s 4 to 10 in the first 3 rounds.
Started him.
Don't break him please.
He is a must have!
Watched him closely against the saints and he’s as safe as any defender at the moment.
Don’t know how to bring him in though.
Could offload Bailey Smith via DPP Fyfe but leaves me with a 3 premo midfield of Neale, Oliver and Merrett.
Besides that I would have to trade Daniel or Short and I can’t see it happening.

As soon as I get him in, he will be broken.
Apologies in advance :P
15.8% ownership.....at the moment. One of my better Rd 1 starters
Ridley, believe it or not. ....Ok I'll see myself out.

Riddler
Ridley has been on the field for all but 10 minutes of the Bombers’ first three matches â€" he, simply, has had more time to score than most. But he doesn’t really need any extra help. After averaging 102 points per game in a breakout 2020 season, the reigning best-and-fairest has taken his game to another level this year, posting scores of 125, 136 and 147 to start 2021. Ridley has had more of the footy than any other defender in the game, has hit the target with 78 or his 88 disposals, leads the competition for rebound 50s and rates elite for intercepts, spoils and metres gained. Oh, and he takes the kick-ins. There’s not much to dislike, here. This could be the last round to grab the runaway KFC SuperCoach leader in defence for less than $600k.

Would De Goey to Ridley be a good trade?
i can accomplish this by swapping Dunkley from mid to fwds, and moving sharp from Def to mid.

I reckon that’s a great idea.
Alright, who cursed him! :'( >:(
I'm not watching the game, why was he subbed out?

Concussion apparently, so he's out of Anzac clash if that's the case
And... there is my last defender to bring in soon.
