Will have to wait till lockout to be sure but seems the only way I can now go pitto -> Gawn by trading out a rookie is to go down to a $ 102 k FD.

Can’t believe that pitto drops around $ 29 K and Gawn goes up $ 27 k for adding $ 56 k to the gap! Brutal when I’d allowed for $ 30 k.

I could spend the majority of my ? on going Pittonet - > Gawn but that probably means playing the likes of :-

D5 Noble/Hamill
D6 Starcevich
M7 Bennell
M8 McInerney/Brown/Mahony/Rivers

for the rest of the season

Surely Gawn can't maintain this rate of scoring ? or can he ?

As much as I love KFC I might have to look at some Red Rooster instead.

If Carlton drop Pittonet I might actually play a ? for a week to reassess.

Maybe De Koning is named or Essendon pick Draper.

If every round after Round 8 is best 18 I might not need a R2 at all.

Too many thoughts

I'm annoyed at myself for not having Gawn but I'm also annoyed at Clarko. Why did McEvoy not follow Gawn around the ground and why did Hawthorn keep kicking it to him?

Apparently Gawn is getting traded to Hawthorn next season ? so Clarko wanted him to feel welcome.

Ok I made that up

No idea to be honest didn't watch the game or listen to it on radio as the Port v Carlton game was shown here on FTA on a 3 hour delay.

Not sure if Gawn is underpriced for what he is delivering now or not.

Mr Hindsight will tell me I should have just started Gawn + Grundy and 28 rookies.

I wonder how competitive a starting side like that would be ?

A few weeks ago I was thinking $700k Gawn and $450k Pittonet. Not bad.
But now Gawn is almost $800k!
That went pear shaped.
It wasn't my year this year anyway but I'm now of the thinking that the only way I can make up significant ground is to gamble against Gawn and if the pear gets smashed then so be it. It would also increase my chance of a weekly prize by swimming against the tide.

But Pittonet has to go.
