Of course. It should be 400 though so that's a bullet dodged for me.
I have to disagree with you on a couple of things there.
Sidebottom- wasn't he playing that floating Sidebottom half forward role? He ended up with 28 touches, he just did nothing with them and was so slow looked like getting run down every time he had the ball in space. That's a concern looking at him as an upgrade target.
Bailey- His role isn't actually all the glorious. From what I've seen, he's basically playing Rayner's role. They've cut his wing time and instead he and McCarthy are rotating through the midfield at times. That's not super encouraging as an owner, however he's still had opportunities for big points in three games the Lions have been constantly under pressure in. I'm not sure how he'll be affected if the team settles down and the Lions stop throwing players like McCarthy, Robinson and Cameron into the midfield to change things up.
Court appearance fatigue?

Looks like it was the best option to trade Neale, I held him and am a little disappointed with his second half. Was very smitten for the first half of the game! I ran out of trades at the end of last year and it was super annoying so I’m Tryna be more careful this year. Grundy VC helps o***et the Neale stinker!

Omg thanks...great point! Honestly didn't even think about this. Imagine him coming on late in the 4th quarter for a 5 pointer 
...!!
It seems my opponent has Grundy VC too, but has no loophole option. He has Gawn (C) currently.
I may consider keeping Rowell this week just to captain him. But having that much cash on the bench might not be a good idea for my matchup!
Problem is I need to make a decision TODAY as Gold Coast play tonight!!!!
Options:
A. Keep Rowell (C), make no more trades. Bank Grundy's VC score. And hope Gawn doesn't go too HAM.
B. Trade Rowell to prem player. Risk Jones and Bergman not being "dropped" which would mean I don't grab Grundy's VC score. Back Gawn/Macrae as captain.
Ahhhh I shouldn't be thinking this hard this early on in the season!

Anyone wanting to read the full article it's on the age. Moral of the story, it's not a serious injury, 9 day break will do him the world of good.

plus you field an extra premo which will help negate any points lost from a Macrae/Gawn C...there’s a real chance you end up ahead.

A. Trade Caldwell to Walker and Captain Gawn
or
B. Keep Caldwell, take V/C Grundy's score and Fullerton's 48pts.
