Neale to Tex probably the best trade ever. Would normally go a premium however with danger on the pine, had conceded I would lose league game and may as well go for cash generation.

Highmore out - E on Butts for 97. Was going to trade Butts (was at Swans game last week and didnt like what I saw), however Sharp not named led to him being traded out for Jordon.

Game of sliding doors, nice to go my way this year.

Not sure if Tex keeps this up to become a keeper but seems like a great candidate for a Dimmawits-type move to those that already have him (I don't). Might be able to get Danger once back from suspension for peanuts. Admittedly I think Dimma made a profit by going Cloke to Stevie J but can't help but see the similarities.

So if Walker's new price is $ 410k , what does that actually make his PTA ?

Obviously missed his biggest (assumingly) price rise , so the equation changes now as to whether he can be a season long keeper.

7/961 with Grundy as VC.

Genuinely thinking of bringing Tex in next week. Either he keeps this up or I mozz him for everyone else so it’s a win/win. He’s shaping-up to be a make or break pick.
Absolutely hate that I would have to pay an extra 110k on everybody who picked him up this round but I agree.

In my situation, if Phillips can’t crack a 90 this round then I will give some serious thought to correcting him to Tex who I will actually be picking as a premium. It’s clear that after 3 huge scores in a row that he’s no fluke this season, he’s the genuine article.

He is likely to have a down game here and there as key forwards do but he will almost certainly have several games where he kicks a bag with a heap of marks as we’ve seen 3/3 times so far this season.

So if I was to pick him, I would be hoping he averages 100 from here which at 408k is an absolute bargain.

North Melb.
735/7

Finished round 1 in 31st and round 2 at 1021 overall but I have so many holes in my team it is amazing I am in this position.

Have not traded yet

Holding Duggan and Phillips for this week at least
Have Simpkin and LDU that I may need to move on next week. I knew LDU was probably a mistake but went for it anyway
Ran with 3 rookie rucks. Seems like Grawndy is starting to win this battle but I am not convinced yet either way.

The 110K cash injection tex owners got this week is already make or break for mine.
It's the fact that 25k coaches brought him in, I never imagined so many would.
If many of those coaches have all the same must have rookies as people like us, plus the Tex money, It puts us non owners way behind the eight ball.
It is an early game changer for mine but I won't be bringing him in now, I'll just watch that train chug off into the Adelaide sunset.
