Same... Glad I didn't trade Grundy in the end and saved my last boost!
Was hoping he went 100+

Sure was interesting reading those coaches that would have then traded out a R2 , well again for this round but what about future rounds if Sweet scores less ?

Although you are then comparing a onfield rookie score to another spot.

Even if he got to $ 400k would still need to find (probably) $ 150k to then upgrade him , Marshall possibly in reach.

Hopefully I get at least $ 150k out of him to use for upgrades.

See how the injuries are to Georgiades and Marshall , imagine Finlayson returns , not sure if we would take more of Dixon's ruck share or not though

I plan on rolling with him at R3 and if ever he throws up another 130 and it makes sense to shuffle on Grundy i'll look at it.

Jackson/ Livingstone as the swing men to play Sweet off the pine for future rounds.... but it's a risky play for sure, loopholes bound to be tough most weeks.

I might be in the minority, but what I saw from Sweet last night is exactly what I want to see. Involved in possessions in the contest, and spread to get the ball in transition a few times. Made a few mistakes that cost him a negative ratio, and a really good score, but can live with that. I don't see why he can't go at 90 for the next few weeks. Not a bad R2, if it allows you to improve other areas. I may still trade Meek and take his score this week, as it allows me to get Green.

Sounds like a plan.

I guess if you can handle Grundy's up and down scores you hold him until you get him to Gawn/English.

I traded him on his Bye to Meek so just need Meek to keep performing.

Was monitoring Witts but wasn't the right timing when his price dropped.

See what happens with Marshall now is probably the next option.

I brought him in a few weeks ago after saying never again over and over... I feel like I'm sitting here with a loaded gun playing Russian Roulette every week. :D
Hi absence from team is one reason for my stinky rank. Seriously considering buying him again, after finally adding him to my list last year!!!! Lists be dammed. Glad a wasn't too militant on the lists otherwise Fyfe wouldn't be up forward as well!

With the dust settling from last night, what are fellow Rozee owners planning on doing with him next week?

I’m thinking I may use it as a bit of an opportunity for a structural fix. Even before the hammy x 2, he seemed a rung below the gun mids. I’m contemplating trading him for a keeper forward who is actually cheaper. This would allow H Reid to F6 and therefore turning it into a bit of a win by fielding more reliable rookies in other positions.
Might see if I can turn him into Rowell or similar.
The Petracca suggestion also has merit

Yep - sound strategy, although I'm kinda loading up the DEF and MID sections of the team first due to the uncertainty over who exactly is a FWD premium this year. The DEF line is so different this year. You can pretty much lock any combination of 10+ players and achieve the required result. Wish I'd gone Rozee to Dale, which was the original plan when he looked likely to miss. May still do that and wait a week on the MID upgrade (Green)

I was determined not to take Fyfe or Yeo this year. Now, having missed their price increases and points I can't possibly go there because it's bound to go bad at some point.

Whole heartedly agree about turning Rozee into something better.

My decision will be based around the byes coming up. Definitely won't be going to a player from Rd 14 as I am already stacked on that bye.
