Wow. Have non-owners missed the boat? In a regular season I'd never consider it but he seems to be benefitting more than most so far, albeit a small sample size.
Yes but......
The problem is you are now 150 odd points behind those that have him and now you are about to pay $50k more for him than they did and you are removing an opportunity to make up ground on those that have him. He won't average 160 for the year so all you can do is wait for a bad game or 2 and a price drop which at least let's you make up some ground on those that have him. I don't have him by the way.
If he goes above $700k he actually becomes a trade out option for those that have him.

Naismith will struggle to walk back into Sydney’s 22 after Sinclair’s dominant display.

Naismith > Pittonet
Cavarra > Sturt (if named)

Hope he misses again so I can do Houston > Howe instead. Would be happy with the team after those moves.

Sinclair won't get a free ride like TBC game him, every week.

Hopefully with Franklin out Sinclair plays forward supporting Heeney and Naismith rucks most of the game.

I will hold Naismith, they want Sinclair forward.

Have 120k banked. This is going early but Tyler Brown>Pittonett, Houston>Howe. Laird on watch but he plays GC this week, his favourite. Pitt (230k) should explode with his 134 score. So I'd have Naismith and Pit at R2/R3.

Also if I was looking to get a forward in, Bailey Smith.

BZT and Ceglar for Howe and Sturt at this stage...pending teams of course. I can't find a way to Pittonet with feeling like I'm breaking my team. It probably only happens if Williamson from Carlton plays. Then I would consider Doedee to Williamson and Cavarra to Pittonet via Cameron to fwd....actually I like that...ok blues now time to bring in Williamson...coming up with trade ideas while posting there you go!

The worst season in history in terms of strategy out the window. I would be embarrassed to list my trades so far however circumstances have led me to go against everything I believe. After this round I will have gone through seven trades to have a team that is no better than what I’d normally have after round one. This week zerk thatcher (held over other omissions to loophole starcevich...my only positive from round two) to rivers and Tom green to Pittonet (to sit on bench...ugh). I figure with trades wasted due to issues like fort and Naismith dropped/injured plus countless others between rounds one and two I need the money generation to have a chance at completing a full team. Well done to those who avoided the carnage... and the western bulldogs...

Why is everyone on pitto after one game?

Jacobs stank, and you save some cash, but is he a 110 ruck?
Is the price change on every player after their second game or was this week an exception because of the time off?

If it is the second game I am guessing it is because they don't to miss him

Tempted by some ruck changes.
With 153k in the bank, Comben to Pittonet is do-able, hold Jacobs for at least another week (BE 21) and re-assess after some price changes in coming weeks.
