To Danger, or Not to Danger

Just putting it out there for the people that are offloading Danger cos of his injury. Are you replacing him with another uber premo (Zorko, Oliver, Crouch etc.) or are you downgrading him to a fallen premo or midpricer (Libba, Conigs) and saving the cash to bring him back in after a couple of rounds? Right now I feel like he's not an absolute necessity to have a spot for, but we all saw what he can do on one leg against Hawthorn last season, and given it's Danger he could probably pull a 150 out of the hat first game back.

If he misses the first game I won't be starting him. Leaning towards getting Matt Crouch in and banking that danger averages 110 for the first 6-7 rounds and getting him cheaper.

Gaz is in the team and injury cocerns could see him start slow.

If You dont get Danger now I think you will be selling the farm to get him in later, trades and cash will be wasted. You are better off taking a short term hit to avoid the pain.
He is a hypochondriac anyway so hes prob fine.

im really unsure which way to go with Dangerfield, having him out of the team if he's out Round 1 will just cause headaches trying to get him back in when he's ready to go. Whats the worst case scenario? 1 week....possibly 2?
The only thing that might work in your advantage if you start without him is he misses 2 games max, then scores 90-100 for 5 weeks straight, then you pick him up for 600-650k.
You will still have to trade to bring him in and then the question after is who do you trade him in for?
There are to many case scenarios with this....the last thing you want is him playing Rd2 and belting out a 150+ which he most likely will.
But i do agree without him in your team all other lines look a lot stronger....F5 suddenly becomes more appealing than having Venables/Ryan in that position along with another rookie e.g. Fritsch.

I'm still not sure which way I will go, but loving that Danger missing will  result in a lot more uniqueness to the starting teams.

It will really be one of those calls you look back on in 10 weeks and either smile or cry!

Currently Danger is dropped for Dusty, extra cash used on Libba (M7) & that moves JOM (M8)


but i can easily change it back, and will probably do that

How does your fwd/def look?  :o

Gaz teaked his hammy and was sidelined for 4 weeks, Billings for 3 weeks. The odds of Danger missing the first 2 weeks would be reasonably high I think. For those stashing cash for 2 weeks I think it's a risk, then there's the prospect of Danger scoring a modest score in his comeback game & having that score in his rolling average. Do you jump on knowing fully well that others will pick him up cheap?

He hasn't even done his hammy, it's just tightness and he'll be there round 1. Trust me, I am a doctor and can tell from a mile away.

its a no for me to start, happy to be wrong though

hope he is named though. so you either have to take the chance or not.

He hasn't been in my team once this preseason and I'm a bit salty that he didn't do this in round 1 just to really flower everyone. I've had the son of god instead of the dangerous one all along. GAJ will produce Danger scores, then sideways when Gary has a rest.
