Tempted to bring Gawn in this week. Original plan was to bring him in after round 4 or 5 if he got better. But with the 11 weeks off he looks fit and firing.

Frustrating that Jack Macrae is a major issue, his role is mighty concerning. I knew he'd play some wing with Hunter out but not permanent so looks like I traded out the wrong dog (ditched Dunkley).

I should fix rookies, but watching a 675k buy play wing and forward is more annoying so will likely swap Jack for someone cheaper like Steele, Cogs or even Selwood.

I would say if you have a ruck combo of Grundy/Gawn/Goldy then you don’t really need him but if you only started 1 of the 3 above and you can’t afford them this week then I would definitely jump on Pittonet
My only concern is if he gets out to 480k then it might be a issue if I passed him on by round 8 every one who trades him out for that be winning sort off .

Happy i went Benell and Rivers early.

Only way to get Gawn is to go Macrae down to basically a rookie - Anderson or Jong and trade up from Jacobs.

Jacobs a frustrating one - had an amazing round 1 and then stunk it. What score is reflective of his potential? Maybe he just had a bad game, as most of the Giants did.

Or in a short season one bad score can see you out the door, is Jacobs to Pittonet and Macrae to Fyfe with $150k a better option.

How long is Kruzer out for?

yeah I get what you mean you don’t wanna miss the boat, personally if you got all the right rookies and you wanna take that punt than I would go ahead,

For my situation I’ve got Grundy/Gawn but I don’t have the right rookies and so I’m gonna take a pass on him and focus on rookie corrections this week

-6 BE with 100 he can go up another 49k and have 75 BE next game.
Missed the boat on Jumpin Jeremy , oh well.

Newman out as well so just need to monitor the other fallen premium from Round 1 and see if I can get him.

Will stick with Laird and fix my Rucks (again) and rookies

Naismith > Pittonet 100% locked.
Houston > Howe

Cavarra > Sturt looks good if named but I do wonder if I could possibly pass to get the above done with an eye on Cavarra > Rankine in a week or two?

Hard to know where he’s at. Do feel like the stars are aligning nicely on a move away from Houston and Howe is still nicely priced while certainly passing the eye test. He's looked phenomenal.

Maybe Noble/Bewley > Pittonet/Cameron

Really want to move one of Macrae and Bont but I think I need to grab these 2 this week
