Priddis and Johnson.

Priddis for Bateman? while he's cheap and earn some for improving Nathan Jones?

Johnson is a toughy. I'm not sure if I should go practically all Hawthorn with their current form and pick Buddy for him while gaining a little dosh on the way.

My scores have been going down by 100 so far...started at 1900, 1800, 1700 and recently 1800 again with Priddis and Mitchell out.

I believe Tippaz suggested that Priddis might be rested due to a long break of one round which is why I'm unsure whether to simply use Palmer and keep Priddis.

Im keeping Priddis on my reserves for now.
He's too valuable to trade for me. lol
But I'm also trusting that both Travis Tuck and Rhys Palmer will be playing.
Hoping Priddis will be back Round 6.

[wcefan09]

you should have enough cover with tuck and palmer.

what i was considering was nathan jones for bateman? think he can hold his form and average 90+?

tuck appears to be out which sucks for me too... im keeping priddis though as ive got palmer.
what about joel bowden guys? ive kept him but hes not named this week and i dont have a reserve for him. get rid of him? or trade a non playing reserve ie thomson /hansen for one that will play and go up this week. / pffiefer is on the field for me.. bit worried.

Palmer is awesome backup. play him - and keep Priddis.
Bateman isn't DT material in my book. Hawthorn's best mids are Mitchell, Hodge, Lewis, and to a lesser extent Crawford, Sewell.
and Brad Johnson is a season keeper. don't trade him.

your scores are good enough. you don't need to be getting 2000's in rd1-5. the real DT contenders start kicking in rd10-onwards.

Bowden's too good to get rid. if it means playing 1 short in your backs rd5, take it. (looks like i might have to as well)
he'll kick into gear when he comes back.

I'll listen to your advice and see how they go further on down the track. It better be good tippaz!

I've got one short in my mids this week.
Priddis, Coughlan and Tuck all arent playing.
