I was seriously considering bringing in two midfield rookies this week because I was worried there'd be a lack of opportunity to downgrade in the near future, but named this week were: Matthew de Boer (Freo, mid, $75,300), Adam Cockie (West Coast, mid, $75,300), Sam Sheldon (Brisbane, mid, $86,600), Luke Miles (extended interchange, St Kilda, mid, $75,300). At least one of them has to be turn into a viable downgrade target in two weeks' time.

I think he's as much of a keeper as rich is, although i dont plan on rich being a keeper for me either. the $50k handicap is a very valid point and thats what makes the decision so tough. The reason a lot of people will jump on board is becasue he is a far and away better option than anyone cheaper at the moment. saying that cockie and de boer both should play this weekend... @Nathan I think they both have a bit more value to make, however there is a wait to get that value with skipworth injured and haselby having a couple of low scores leaving him with a highish be. I can see the sense in your plan, gets you a gun up forward and a mid that will peak in price hopefully around what haselby is worth now. @Raf

Don't see him as a keeper, and he starts $50k more expensive than standard rookies. He got a 90 with Cassisi and the Burgoynes missing from the team, and a 70 with Cassisi and one Burgoyne back, good but not exceptional scores, especially with that $50k handicap on making money.
