Watch Gaz come out this weekend and score 80+ in the first half, then get subbed off and everyone will stop worrying  ;)

Hope he does takes it real easy and scares everyone off. Would love a POD Gaz.

This is my original plan with Gaz, Gold Coast play the 2nd game of the round (1st game on Sat), if Gaz is no good out he goes and becomes Rocky (now contemplating Selwood instead), problem sorted

Doesn't solve the problem if he plays and he's not quite right and averages 110. Rocket might ease him into things with a forward role or maybe even sub him off if GC are cruising at 3/4 time.

True, but that could have been the case anyway being round 1 so that is the risk you take. I think if he plays you would expect him to be good to go and if he isn't right GC won't risk him since he is their best player

A GAJ corrective trade if needed is a no-lose I reckon. If he spuds it, you trade him to someone 200k cheaper who's gunning it and use the 200 to upgrade someone else to a keeper. Then if GAJ turns it around you use your next upgrade to get him back in on the cheap. Two new premos for four trades, which would be par for the course anyways...

Sorry but to me this is non-sensical

This player who is 200k cheaper than Gaz (so low 500k's), is he going to be a Top 10 mid year end? Doubt It

And I'm not sure what rookie you're upgrading to a premium with 200k that early in the season (around Rd 3 im guessing)

So 4 trades, and I'm not sure where you're bringing in another bonafide premo other than bringing Gaz back, so no new premos...

I think if you start with Gaz, and you know you're going to finish with Gaz, there's no point trading out Gaz.

Play the Lion King music, for the king has returned. IQ tests needed for those who don't start him.  :P :P :P :P

OptiPrimus

Pretty simple... If he's named round one leave him in. If not, swap for literally any mid over 600k.

Gaz will score the tonne in a half of footy

No one said it had to be mids. You can find premo fwds or def in low 500s or even mid 400s. Those who missed Swallow at the start of last year can attest... You're only a couple of price rises in a high priced rookie away to find another upgrade target, so the strategy can definitely work just fine

Want Ablett in my team.  I've heard opinions that he should be first picked.  Do I take out Swan and Titch to include Ablett and rookie?
