Regarding Lyons Marsh scores, I think we are suppose to ignore the scores from the established players.
I'm thinking his high scoring, end of last year, could have been just a spike and he will go back to his old scoring ways.
But then I heard Zorko praise Lyon, "...goal kicking mid, good tackler and finds the ball...….", so I am considering him again.

Absolutely ignore the premium scores from Marsh games. I'm hoping that something shows in the first couple of games, if it does then I'll whack him in. Just trying to limit risk though and by starting Naismith, Ceglar and Andrew Brayshaw I think I've exposed myself to enough 'starting risk' I have Gaff at M5 who I'm comfortable with.
My fallback is Whitfield, if his scores are looking crappy after a couple games and he's going to lose big bucks on the first price change and someone like Lyons has a good couple of games then I might just make a correctional trade.

Lyons 1st 2 games are against HAW and NTH, his last 2 scores against them were 108 and 165, hmmm. If he scores them again, many may be jumping on him Rd3, ay. But Rd3 is usually when I adjust 2 Rookie players, so maybe the opportunity won't be available to get Lyons in.
Seriously though, who knows what will happen, Lyons may start the first half scoring low like last season? I'm not sure how A Brayshaw will start either, so yeah he's a risk as well.
I don't see Cash Cow Naismith as a risk, maybe you mean as a R2 and not starting Gawn? Still I don't see that as a big risk, as Gawn's replacement will be a Gun player.
I suppose there is some risk in starting Ceglar (maybe the McEvoy down back experiment won't work), but I think he will be a safe F6 player, who will be a Ruck Emergency.
I'm looking at Gaff as well, or Z Merrett, or Oliver, or Coniglio, or Lyons, hmmm.

I'm not averse to trading out a highly priced premo who has underperformed to another underpriced sub premo that has overperformed before their prices have solidified. But probably only once or twice depending on circumstances, ie: there has to be a significant gain to my team, be thst through BE's, points gain, a release of funds for early upgrades or a combination of all.
I'm not convinced by Yeo relative to others in his immediate price range. He's been in "the system" for eight years now and whilst averaging a tidy 107 or so the last couple of years; has never looked like breaking out above that. He throws out 6-8 sub 90 scores each year too. In that bracket I'd rather go Coniglio or Oliver, or the more consistent Gaff.
