So…Assuming Merrett gets 2+ weeks, which is a possibility given the MRO roulette, is it a trade or a hold?
Ha. I was wondering whether my post would get dug up today. I should never have put it out in the universe 🤦🏻‍♂️

Two weeks (three including bye) and a trade would have to be considered. One week (two including bye) I think is a hold.

Think he gets one week.

Was more thinking how you would approach given you’re up in the rankings, really puts a dampener on you trying to continue upgrading. I’d probably be erring on the side of holding as many others would be in the same boat at this stage. You’ve got a couple mid upgrades left, and if you play your cards right, you could overtake those who have traded aggressively in rounds 17-24.

I’ll admit, I thought about the low hanging fruit with a gif, but this is more constructive.

Think I’ll very likely be holding. Especially with already having to burn a trade on Sicily.

Yeah probably looks like one week on current precedents - Cincotta was not concussed though, so that may work in his favour.

Need Daicos & Mitchell to both improve on Lloyd 74 & Haynes 62

Not sure I can find $ 150k to fix Cripps

5 Rd Ave of 79.2 coming into tonight as well
Bad rolled ankle in the last quarter against Sydney, I personally was very surprised he played the week after.
However he had already been well down since his 153 against West Coast, I don't recall if anything happened that week.
Having held him feel that I need to keep him and see if a week off freshens him up at all.
Ideally 2 weeks off would be better but feel like the way our season has gone to 💩 he will probably play again next week.

Didn't even realise his 5 Round Average until last night when I was checking his price , must have had other issues in my team to worry about.

Certainly doesn't look 100% (but not many are this time of the year).

I could go down to Thomas (or Fyfe) but he probably isn't going to be a keeper either so would then need to upgrade him eventually unless I can slide him to M9/F7.

Maybe Jeremy Cameron and then play one of my F/M in the mids which isn't ideal though.

Wait and see how much Briggs has risen and new projection then either keep him as R2 as long as possible or upgrade him at his Bye.

Not very often I watch a replay of a game, but wow, last nights 3rd quarter, that was just poetry in motion. :)
May have to watch it just one more time. :cool:
It certainly was, but as far as great quarters go, I’m not sure that I will watch at as many times as the 1984 Grand Final final quarter.
Have requested these two quarters to be on repeat at The Mail Exchange Saturday, along with Michael Long's running goal in the 93 GF.
