What happened to Grundy being set and forget this season. Everyone now jumping off (or at least thinking about it)..
115 & 103 in his last 2 , 4th best averaging ruck so far , chance to trust Pittonet onfield and use Grundy's money elsewhere.

Suggestion he is carrying some sort of injury or injuries.

Will be interesting to see his output against Jacobs if he is struggling.

Team looking a little shaky.
Not sure whether to do something like:
Dunks and Zac Bailey to Petracca and Simpkin
or
Dunks and Sturt to Fyfe/Clarry and say a Williamson like rook?
or
Mess around with trading Grundy out, although not ideal as I have to deal with Dunks this round.
or
Something else?

I Like Dunkley and Bailey for Simpkin and Petracca. You’re getting two premiums for one.

Team 5 rules!

Whitfield injured
Dusty injured
Dunkley injured
Sturt injured
Cameron will be dropped

Just got no idea what to do with the two trades. 97k cash in bank. Any suggestions appreciated!

I think Dunkley probably has to go, and would suggest you keep Dusty, the rest are more flexible in my view.

I'd suggest looking at the best premium you can get for Dunks, including via DPP and considering how bad the rookie that goes off the field is, and then assess from there.

Now Naismith has been named, I am currently leaning towards my trades being Jacobs and Sturt to Bennell and Fyfe via a bunch of DPP moves. Simpkin is the other much cheaper option that I originally was looking at rather than Fyfe, but not sure which I bring in yet - I like both. Seems everyone is trying to get Simpkin this week, probably for good reason.

As always, I expect teams tomorrow to change everything.

Would need to see your whole team, mate.

Also, there's a looooooooot of Cams in the comp. Of those, the likeliest to be dropped is maybe Darcy? Also, are Dusty and Whitfield still injured? Think not, So you only have two definites, and one maybe. Dunkley to your fav mid... I'd be going to Merrett, Shiel, or Oliver. You can keep Sturt for a week if you need a loophole, but depends on whether Darcy is dropped. You'd keep Darcy otherwise, as he's more likely to play than the injured Sturt.

For Darcy, You can replace him with whoever you can afford and will likely gain cash (same for Sturt).

Of course, I'm coming in the top 30,000 so I must know my sheet. :)

Wasn't he off the ground for a while in his R2 game and had a cloud over him re bone brusing leading into R3?

What does Bank + Dunkley + Sturt give you to play with ?

Less eg Dan Butler

Correct bone bruising to the knee.

Did think of that BS (2 Demons a plus), but I still have a little faith in Lynch. Either way I will have no cover in forward line, may look at something different again, to try and keep Buderick forward. Thanks mate.

Libba will probably benefit with Dunks out, but probably not overly keen on him for some reason. Butler having a ripper year at Saints, but again, not too keen on him either, lol. Both cheap though, would save a bit of coin. (y)

Just looking at players under $ 450 k that have started well.

Pity you don't have Williams or Cameron , could have done something with Dunkley & Grundy.

Petracca & Simpkin seem the popular ones this round , you were captain of the Bailey Smith fanclub last year can you get him ?
