Guys I have been going back and forth all week with my trades which involve Buddy and Bartel.

My first trade is locked in Langford > Bews but I just can't decide between getting Bartel or Buddy in.

Its either Langdon > Bartel and backline would be complete -

McVeigh, Hibberd, Simpson, Bartel, Swallow, Enright (Gardiner, Bews)

Or

Ambrose > Buddy and forward line complete -

Dangerfield, Martin, Roughead, Wingard, Zorko, Franklin (Lennon, Cameron)

If I don't get Buddy in then Lennon is my F6 with Ambrose and Cameron on the bench and $123,000 left over in the kitty.

If I don't get Bartel in then Langdon is my D6 and I'll have $39,000 in the kitty.

WTF do I do?  :'(

I'd much rather have Langdon on the field then Lennon, therefore I would go for buddy. I'm in a very similar situation with Lloyd in my forward line.

Easier said than done though.  :-\

Yep, I'd do the same thing for the same reason. Langdon has an easier draw over the next few weeks, so wouldn't be the worst idea to keep him a bit longer.

To be honest Ando I dont see why you would take the risk. You are ranked 1st and can afford to just play it safe from here on in. Let those of us trying to catch the pack take the risks and stuff them up  :P

Yeah think I will go with Buddy.

Just wanted a few peoples views and what they would do.

Really don't trust Lennon/Cameron/Ambrose at F6.

I'd love it if Langdon could pump out a few more 100's so I could sideways trade him to Bartel.  ;D

I like the buddy move and am in the same situation with either finishing my forwards or going the other way and finishing my defence.
Im thinking of making the bold move of bringing buddy in but I have to completely agree with Quinny in that u don't need to be taking any unnecessary risks.
leave the risks to the pack. If lonergan is named this week maybe let the buddy move slide thru for at least a week

[LaHug]

His record against Geelong is very poor. Against the Power and Suns, however, it's very good. Maybe waiting a week is the right move?

I'm waiting a week on Buddy, if he scores a 60 then he should only increase by 17k. In saying that he's the type of weapon that could easily propel one up the charts.

[FonFatty]

He will probably struggle to get his B/E against the Cats  :P
I agree though, I'd be inclined to wait a week, have 1 more look at him against quality opposition, if he does dominate then jump on. You might pay an extra $20k but at least you would be sold on him

[HappyDEZ]

Buddys inconsistent scores not too much of a worry at the price. Every player has a stinker or 2. Also Buddys ceiling is huge & his SC history is good to excellent in the last 5 years. My main concern would be injury/suspension.

What idiot started this thread anyway?

Oh him.

I'm on.
