Here are a few players on that are worth selling/buying/keeping an eye on for.
Bargains of the week
Jobe Watson
At $527,700 you’d probably be thinking we’re nuts to have Jobe ‘son of Tim’ Watson in the Bargins for the week, but if you have a look at his recent form perhaps the picture will become clearer.
Two weeks ago against St Kilda Watson went head to head with Lenny Hayes and came out almost even on the field and from a SuperCoach perspective definitely had a good game, scoring a lazy 126 points. Last week Jobe’s Bombers played Richmond and Watson stepped up to the plate again with 24 touches, 6 tackles and 2 goals to rake in another nice score of 130 points.
His form has been sensational and he shows no signs of slowing down, this week Essendon have the Cats and you’d expect Jobe to get Ling, however this is going to be his cheapest price due to the last few weeks form. If your going to get on him it has to be now.
Aaron Davey
Davey could come into your team for $506, 900 and has a sensational average of 209 points but he has gone down in price the last 3 weeks in a row meaning this week or next will be the optimum point to buy in.
Davey’s pace could allow him to play the ‘Lovett’ role against St Kilda this week and expect Melbourne to try and get the ball in his hands as often as possible as he can break lines and kick through the St Kilda zone.
The question is, if you’re interested in Aaron, do you back him to deliver this week or hold off with the view that his price will continue to drop.
Cameron Wood
Wood has now played two games of AFL football for the year; in both games he has delivered sold score of 71 and 98. At $326,700 he may just be that Ruck option your team and the Pies’ need on the bench.
His price is set to change for the first time this year after round 10, those of you who think he’s an option need to make a decision ASAP.
Nathan Grima
Another who is set to have his first price change of the year, Grima at $94,200 is looking pretty solid so far averaging 65 points (this is lower than his true value as his first game was against Geelong) Perhaps he is an option for those of you who have had enough of Petrenko.
Jarrad McVeigh
After an indifferent start to the year McVeigh has exploded into form in the last two weeks with scores of 111 and 158 against West Coast and Port Adelaide respectively. Jarrad is a solid $80,000 dollars cheaper than at the start of the year, don’t expect that to last long though, we may look back on his current price tag of $454, 100 and rue ignoring it, so get on if you can.
Chance Bateman
Bateman is another who is considerably cheaper than the start of the year; he has lost $100,000 in value from round 1 to now and finally looks as if he will deliver some better form again.
His last two games, against Fremantle and Melbourne have delivered results of 107 and 116 SuperCoach points respectively.
For mine his $384,000 price tag looks mighty tempting, especially coming up against the young Crows this week.
One-gamers to keep an eye on
Beau Muston
Hawthorn players in general seem to be worth keeping an eye on, Beau certainly doesn’t seem to be an exception with his first game delivering a whooping 135 SuperCoach points for the 4,953 players who have him, if he delivers again this week he may just find his way into my team in exchange for the lazy $94,200 required.
Des Headland
Headland is a proven performer over his career and a price tag of $286,200 seems about fair at this point. His first game for the year has delivered him a score of 74 and if he keeps that sort of form up he may be a decent bench option in a few weeks.
Aaron Cornelius
The young Lion got a pretty serious introduction to AFL football on the weekend and accounted for himself pretty well.
Playing against St Kilda Aaron managed to accumulate 61 points, importantly though his coach seemed happy with his first game so we might be seeing more of him in the coming weeks.
The ones that make you go ‘Ouch’if you’ve got / the ones that you are waiting to bottom out
Jared Petrenko
Two poor games and one missed has really hurt 47,651 of us who have Petrenko in our teams. After a promising start Jared looks like he’ll be in and out of the Crows team at best and he may be worth offloading whilst he is still worth $192,200.
Jonathon Brown
Brisbane really needed him to stand up against St Kilda on the weekend, unfortunately the best he could offer was 3 goals from 8 touches, giving him a low 66 SuperCoach points for his $454,200 price tag. That makes two poor games in a row and he could be a bargain in the next few weeks.
Daniel Kerr
After a good start to the year, injuries and form seem to have gotten the better of Kerr who has lost over $100,000 dollars from his start of year price. At $380,600 he is a bargain now if you think he can return to form, personally I’m going to wait a week or two and see if he drops in price a little more.
Nick Dal Santo
Dal Santo’s form has cooled off over the last few weeks and he is now back at his start of year price at $548,300 making him obtainable to those of you who regretted not having him when he was running hot, the question is though, will he run hot again?
Previous players mentioned revisited
Brendan Fevola
Is really struggling his way through the season, playing West Coast this week may be a chance for him to hit some form again, and if he does his $362,600 will look ridiculously cheap. I’m going to hold off for a few more weeks though.
Steele Sidebottom
As expected Sidebottom’s price has risen nicely, the 80,084 of you who have him should be thrilled and I’d expect him to hold his spot in the Collingwood side for a few more weeks.
