Yep, I'll go back and find out who recommended to keep Kerch when he was rock bottom - much better coach than me.
goes to show we can’t chase breakevens all the time….i am guilty of this as well and it costs me keeping the right rookies a little longer…
having said that Mckercher scored 6 and was being played out of position at the time so can’t fault coaches for trading

Yep, exactly where we are with Sheezel and Powell today. Sometimes the better decision is do nothing?
McKercher scores 6, went to hospital, and playing in the middle, it was the right decision. If we all were able to play with hindsight…

Could be better, could be worse, also have Williams who I put as emergency who I'm not taking.
To come:
Roberts, Heeney, Green, Sheezel, Powell, Steele,Wilson, Gawn , Stewart, Reid, Ryan, Jackson, Darcy, Bont, Flanders, Touk, Clohsey and Graham
10/957
Green injury, along with quiet game from Sheezel and Roberts not helping things.
Powell will probably have to be a hold for me with the way things have turned out, happy with Heeney, Steele and Wilson.
Hoping for a big one from captain Gawn along with Stewart and for Clark(yes I kept him) to kickstart his cash generation a bit on my bench. Reid speaks for himself but hopefully he does well without Eagles winning :oops:

Played: I Rankine, Z Butters, S Walsh (VC), N Daicos, I Heeney, M Roberts, B Grundy and T Green
Yet to play:
Saturday: J Steele, D Wilson, C Comben, H Sheezel, M Gawn (C), T Stewart, H Reid and N Martin
Sunday: N Fyfe, H Young, M Bontempelli, S Darcy, S Clohesy and T Miller

Should have backed myself in with the Roberts to Moore move. No worries as I can trade him to a mid premium next round. Jones to be prioritised over Hardeman as a Dempsey replacement (so far) which means Wilson will likely cover Green in the event he misses rather than Graham, as one of Graham/Clohesy is stuck at D7 unless I use dual position magic and move Comben to the def bench.

D Wilson fantastic and great to see Steele back to scoring tons. Was hoping Comben would push the 80+ range with the matchup but unfortunately did not and joins Roberts and Dempsey on the chopping block.

Petracca auditioning to be the midfield premium traded in next round but the temptation of Oliver could be too great if he posts 5+ tackles and marks tonight.
