Injuries?

Stocked i got 62 dt

13 kicks to 1 handball

I'm not trading menadue or Davis as they have barely made cash. I value a trade as around 120-15k, so I feel it is a waste trading out these types who have only made 60-80k. Rather have them sitting on my bench and trading people who have made significant cash and are about to hit thief max price

Have to consider the opportunity cost by letting them take up a spot on your bench

e.g. I could have let Gresham and Davis sit on my bench but instead I turned them into DBJ and Wagner, who are now 273k and 228k respectively and will assist greatly when it comes time to upgrade my side

This is why they need to go when the oppotunity presents itself.  Smith will be worth more than Davis by end of next week.  Menadue this week for me.   And see how close I can come to upgrading Davis either next week or week after.    Got to start upgrading Mids from next week.  Rocky, Priddis and Pendles or Ward.

Broken arm in the first minute

Broken arm in the first minute

That is Josh Smith with broken arm and Petracca does his toe again,  as well as Shaw getting injured in head clash with Gawn in first quarter and both out for rest of game with concussion.  Selwood suspended with Goldstein reported for doping and suffering a season ending suspension.   


All about risks and rewards, hopefully nobody injured and our hotheaded picks avoid suspension.  Just never know!

Is it worth taking the punt with Menadue for 1 more week to then get Keays or Dmac or should I grab Ruggles instead via dpp?

im not sure about keays anymore. beams named on extended bench. so could be back this week or next may push out keays.

lions supporters would no more than me though

worrying Trengove is named as the ruck so Howard's JS might not be as good as we thought

Dayne Beams is named on the ball! Claye Beams on extended bench. Of the 25 named this week, at this stage I'd have Keays ahead of  probably 5 players or thereabouts. So, he's not guaranteed a spot in the 22 each week, but if he does well again this week, should get a good run at it.

With the season done and dusted you can guarantee he'll play out the year, BE 40 odd so still has cash to make.

It's not as good as what most think

The kids played 2 AFL games and people think he will just slot in and be their number 1 ruck?

The ruck will be shared among Trengove, Hoff, Dixon and Howard

This question is pretty simple. Cox vs Currie?

Cox is more versatile as he can play FWD and ruck, while Currie is just a ruck and surely Nicholls will get a shot at redemption eventually

If you have Grimley too then Cox for sure

[Mat0369]

I have Tom Read.

The way I want to look at it is player vs player for the rest of the season just on scoring. They are just going to sit at R3 as my emergency regardless so the DPP is going to mean jack at the end of it. So if it comes to me needing one down the track which we think will be a better option. I am leaning towards Currie.
