To Danger, or Not to Danger

[Gigantor]

If you were told at the start of the season Danger would only go below 100 once from Rd 2 to Rd 21, and that was a 94, and miss no more games, would you have started with him?

I'm looking back on this one now and although at around the bye I was thinking it was a mistake to start him because he hasn't replicated last year, he's gone at 120 for the year, hit the ton 18/19 games and has started been in captaincy consideration on the run home. It was a saved trade, many that had him ended up fielding Holman's 90 in the first round because of it so didn't lose out there.

Has done alright I think, as long as he gets through the next 2 weeks of course :P

Definitely would have started him with that hindsight, especially considering how so many of 2017's premo mids were dud starting picks this year, Martin, Sloane, Zorko, Zerrett, Kelly, GAJ just to name a few

Danger, TMitch, Oliver, Cripps, Conigs was probably the best combo for this year.

Highly satisfied having started him + Holman's 90 in R1.

I started him, but $749k was way too much to spend. Could of started Cripps and the cash saved could go to starting Conigs instead of rookie Brayshaw. I reckon he's priced spot on atm.

No regrets not starting him

750k for someone who barely put up a C worthy score has to be considered a fail

Getting him in that 575-600k was the optimal play, but I didn't end up getting him at all

Still happy not to have started him. Didn't go below 94, but didn't have a superior average to others and was not captain worthy most weeks. At 750k u need captain scores regularly. Picked him up 130+k cheaper at the right time, and Titch,Cripps,Oliver and Fyfe held the fort till then.
Wish I'd left Dusty out as well.

Got him for around 596k in Round 10. Hasn't gone under 100 yet since I've had him. No regrets not starting him.

As someone who started him, I think it was the wrong move. Even though he's been a great midfield premo, the 750k outlay for him hampered the rest of my team, and meant I had to take more risks on guys like Armitage and Lobb, rather than shell out the extra money for 'set and forget' types like Heeney.

Picking him up for 600k mid-year was definitely the right move

I got him in b4 round 3 as a correction trade and don’t think he hampered me at all. I got to an OR of 34 by round 9 and only ballooned out over top 200 after the byes due to poor choices rather than lack of funds.

I agree that those who got him at 600K did better ... but for me the surety of premo scores with his injury history (or lack there of) was worth the premium.

I would say not having him at all was the biggest fail tbh

What was the biggest fail? Staring Dusty or starting Danger?

How about starting Danger and bringing in Dusty in round three? :-\

Well it did allow me to unload Hibberd, so it wasn’t all bad I suppose. Cripps would have been a better choice though.
