Will be more than a few (myself included), considering cutting Neale loose and buying back later.

Was originally going to hold, but banking 100k from a trade deserves at least a bit of thought!
Especially a defensive trade, gold

Question of the week to ponder, is Neale's last quarter SC recovery enough? I suppose wait and see how many more spot-fires occur over the weekend to put out.
I'm tempted to ditch him. Even though already "burnt" a trade on Danger.

Nank/Impey are my other potential concerns currently, so will just have to see what they throw up this round and if Neale > other prem would make a double trade worthwhile.

Don’t have Neale, Cripps, Danger, Dow to contend with. Already moved Rowell on.
Might look at something like JDG > Atkins. Now that Elliott has gone down I just can’t see the role improving for JDG. He’s played very deep so far with bursts through the middle, a role that hasn’t really been lucrative. About 100 looks the benchmark for the forward who kicks 4 and racks up 15 disposals (Fantasia and Allen similar numbers for similar score so far). Whilst he set himself up to score a lot more last night, it might be a bit of a blessing that he didn’t as it kind of makes the decision a bit easier. Walk out of the trade with $140K and add what looks to be one of the better mid pricers so far.
No doubt someone else will bob up tomorrow, but Atkins has firmly put his name in the conversation through 2 rounds.

I just think if we constantly trade every underperformer well run out of trades by Round 15, going to be people who have traded Rowell,Danger,Cripps and Neale by the end of Round 3 and got there sides nowhere really, thats 1/6th of your trades down almost and no closer to full premium.

Personally I’ll be trading Neale as a correction. I always give myself the full 4 in rounds 1 and 2 - and then start to temper my trading. These are the only rounds where you get a pass in a $ sense, so I take advantage of them. That said I only have Rowell to deal with this week so I might only use 2/3. But that bleed for Neale looks too big. Will drop him to another true premo, e.g. Macrae, and look to bring him back in should his form turn. He does look bothered by the tag, and the only saving Grace seems to be that he can score late in the game, so he seems fit enough. These first few games are his bogey teams so I’m hopeful he gets back on track.
