To Danger, or Not to Danger

If Danger plays 5 games @ 110 he will be about 100k less

This is the key, don't think Danger will explode out of the blocks. Even last year which was his statistical best, he stumbled a couple of times in the first 8 rounds. Only one 140+ score & would have hit 598k by the time rookies were ready to cull.

I can definitely see the reasoning behind stashing 200k to get him in early but that money could be put to good use with an extra keeper or the very best rookies.

What do people make of the fact u can get a combo of Coniglio/Redden/Libba + JOM/ Armitage for around the same price as Danger? 180 - 200 vs 130

No brainer to do this, also an easy stepping stone to grab Danger after 6 -7 games.

Not exactly correct when it's 1 player vs 2

Danger + Rookie vs Conigs + Libba would be more accurate, but I get what you're saying

You're next best mid (Danger replacement) is the correct way to analyse it Eg/ Dusty + Brayshaw vs Libba + Conigs etc

"I will wait until (Tuesday) and see how it is, it feels pretty good," Dangerfield said at Geelong's headquarters on Monday.

"I've never done a hammy before, so without having done one, it's hard to say where it's at."

2 weeks for anything hamstring related is too early I suspect.

Surely he will get a scan and not go by " it feels pretty good " then let the media know what the results are ?

Happens every year with high profile players. The club knows exactly whats the go is and when he should be back or is playing but we'll be left till sunday afternoon to frantically get them back in or trade them out

Fantastic that would leave Duncan Oliver or Parker as a choice.

No brainer to do this, also an easy stepping stone to grab Danger after 6 -7 games.

The only issue I see with that is if Libba or whoever you have are pumping out tons every week are you really going to make your first upgrade a good player to a better player or upgrade some rookies?

At the moment I have Coniglio, Libba & O'Meara, if all 3 dominate then bonus, but realistically 1 will under-perform, most likely O'Meara.

Yeah that makes sense. So ideally you'll be able to do it by downgrading a cash cow and upgrading Omeara to Danger. Makes me nervous hoping things like that pan out

Always a risk but no way I will start him if not named round 1.

No me neither. Kind of hope he doesn't play because plenty will hold him

I've been under a rock. Easy to do in NZ. Just heard about this dilemma.
My thoughts are you have to start him or at least plan to start him.
I'll be giving him every chance to start in my team.
At 750k though you can't have him sitting on you bench if he's out.
As RD has already quite rightly pointed out if you run with a rookie who scores 65 vs others who have a premo scoring 115 you're going to be down around 100 points or so if it stretches into 2 games. If you're going for overall that's hardly what you want.
As such, if Danger happens to be out I'll start Oliver. Same game as Danger so a late out poses no problem R1 and Melbourne play Brisbane R2.
Happy to keep the Danger change in the bank to trade for him R2 or when he starts. Will be interesting to see how it pans out.
