12 / 1265. C played.
Shiel, Kerridge, Barlow, Gawn, Zac Merrett, Dea, Shaw, Weitering, Ben Ken and Tippa to play.
Was such a relief to see Ollie up and about. Also thankful that I didn't have to abuse S Gray anymore. Had the luxury of sitting back and laughing at him.
The downside, Robbie Gray. What went on there ?

Still a suffering Sam Gray owner. Its clear he need to play centre to get possession to o***et his average disposal levels. Just wonder what is going on at Port, Robbie and Sam both playing forward. Will likely give him the next 3 weeks with Rich, Bris and Carlton coming up to see if the Port system changes and he can score better.
1705/16 Danger C Barlow, Kerridge, BenKen, Pendles, Dea and Tipa to come
Plenty of popular picks in Gawn, Martin, Rance, Fyfe, Shaw, Weitering to come that will influence where I sit in the pack. Robbie Gray my only real disspaointment so far but nice to see Wines finally turn it on. Loopholing in full effect with Mills and DBJ E scores to come onto the field. I have papley E too so need to decide if one of Kerridge, Barlow or Ben Ken should get benched for his 79. Think I'll let it ride and back the on field lads in

1710/17+C (Goldy via the loop)
Fyfe, Kerridge, Pendles, Dusty and either Dea or AMT to come.
Will be taking Goldy's score. Fyfe could go large but not prepared to risk it this early.
Uebergang MVP again - allows me to loop DBJ's score as well as taking the captain spot.
Will decide tomorrow who to start out of Dea and AMT - I think they are both 75-80 prospects, so probably won't matter too much.
Lonergan is gone next week (like a few others have suggested). Awkward price, so will need to go one up one down this week.
Good luck all.

I am a recent convert to the floating donut, and I would highly recommend it.
Last year I was reluctant to start one given it took a potentially cash-making rookie out, and left me with less cover early on. I traded in the WC D-M FD option (I can't remember his name) around the byes though. That was a wasted trade because I rarely seemed to have the right number of playing players on either of his lines - ie, I was left with no cover, or had other options I could use as non-floating donuts.
This year has been very different. Uebergang has been extremely useful, particularly because he is paired up with Adams, Brown and Tippa. Adams has been consistently solid but the others have been up and down, so Ueber has worked well to either loop the Ess options, or to switch up and back with Adams to take the better of D7 and F7, sometimes knowing exactly what both of those scores were (no guessing).
Petracca has also been useful as another option, particularly for the C loophole, given sometimes you can't do forward, back and C loopholes with just one agent. He will presumably be generating cash in a month or so, which I will welcome, but I may even consider another FD in his place, especially if the downgrade options get thin.
The other thing that has made it very worthwhile this year is that the top-flight rookies have been excellent, but the last-selected ones have all been pretty underwhelming in my view - so I haven't really foregone much, but I have still had a strong chance at boosting my score every week. It's obviously useful for trades as well.

14/1451 including Danger C. Hopefully will post a solid but not spectacular score. Very happy though as I have used just 3 trades and have rookies who are growing well especially Papley and Hewett with the highest BEs making them easily. Gibson and Stefan Martin coming off injuries so i'm not too alarmed about their scores. Grabbed DBJ this week and have used his score via Uber
