im worried about him changing his role,

i dont think he is that high a risk of injury, he has been durable for most of his career, that calf injury just took a really long time to get over.

Not over the calf by any stretch, has been on a modified program ever since he arrived at GWS. Richmond also had him on a modified program for his last 2 years.

Yeah big no from me too. Given his age and injury history you'd just have to wait and see if he can produce top scores like this for 4-6 more weeks.

I think the big issue is the proposition doesn't change even if he scores another 4 100s.  He's still got the same sort of risk, a month of play isn't going to change that.  Thing is, in a month's time he'll probably be around $500k and priced out for most people due to the risk.

He's a good POD play here because the risk/reward window is going to close very quickly for him.

my ranking sucks, stuff it im bringing him in.

we all know he can score, its a huge gamble but he is projected to go up 50k and is playing the lions.

Just dropped Buddy to him, did another downgrade and im sitting on 210k in the bank for another premo next week.

probably stupid but go lids go.

im doing this to convince myself but we all know if lids is in a good role and is healthy that he can pump out 90+

he played in defense last year in the finals and sucked he played there in round 2 and sucked.

Since coming back from injury he has played 12 straight games.

Yeah he's been pretty solid most of his career. I've got Franklin but Devon Smith is giving me the showers big time lol. May even get rid of both and bring in Lids and Gray.

18 17 11 4 games after a heap of 22 game seasons

He will become my high priced cash cow as I still have 28 trades and need points and money.

Zorko to Lids

And grab a bubble boy too

Good luck Lids

you know i dont drink.

he has had a couple of soft tissue injuries leading up to the calf which he missed a couple of weeks, in all instances he was battling something in the preseason.

Then he had the calf which took out the back half of 2016 and most of 2017.

Since then he has played all 7 games including finals last year and then all 5 games this year.

I can see him possibly be rested for 1-2 games but the major risk is if his role changes.

he is showing absolutely no sign of carrying a injury and is ramping it up as his TOG shows. Ill stand by my point that he isnt that much more of a injury risk then most players.

Calculated gamble, if he pumps out good scores for the next 6 weeks and then gets injured you still win. Then there's Oliver who looks like a top 8 mid. I like the trades.

Surely a role change impending when Kelly ultimately comes back?

If I'm going to take that sort of risk I'd rather go with one of the young duo breaking out (Taranto or Parfitt) than chasing past glory like Lids.

Thanks Doc <3 I loved it so much that I found the Artist and purchased a 90x90cm Print, framed it and have it up on my wall.
