Bowes + 82k cash or Lloyd?

Bowes balances the byes a bit better. Also allows a bit more flexibility in trades next week.

Lloyd has top durability, and the past best defender last 2 seasons.

Is this for D6 or D5?

If it's D5 I'm taking Bowes, a third of the season is a pretty good sample size on two guys whose roles aren't changing and that 80k is valuable given they're scoring the same.

D6 I think I'd pay the premium for the certainty though and Lloyd's incredible durability record. Throw in that Lloyd is a Dawson injury from going back to last year while Bowes is kind of maxed out.

Option A =Campell/Gulden > Bolten/Dawkins

v

Option B =Flynn/Campell >Sweet/Bolten

I feel Bolten is one of those cheap must-have DPPs
Option B im leaning towards if Flynn is not named, although i don't want to lose any more cash on Gulden

I like the Gulden to RCD trade more than the Flynn to Sweet trade so I'd be going that way. In saying that though, I don't know much about Sweet.

Jelly vs. Titch?

Titch has an incredible fixture. Jelly only got 3 more tough games (5 if you include Tigers x 2).

Double down vs. Paint the fence? Would mean missing Poulter or RCD, but gets me an extra premo.

If PTF, upgrade to a Titch in Mid or a Marshall in Fwd. Fwds I'm lighter, but rookies are also ticking along (waterman aside).

Mills vs Llloyd this week?

Have Stewart, Ridley, Laird, Bowes so far and this will get Gulden out of my team and Chapman/Clark to the bench to languish.
Exactly this, I also have Docherty but am tossing up between Mills and Lloyd. I think Lloyd is the safer pick but Mills feels like a higher ceiling and standard deviation. I'll go Vanilla with Lloyd I think.

+1

Gotta go with Lloyd imo, mainly for the reason that he is as durable a player as there is. Low physicality game, safe as houses.

Mills has been ok as well, but you know Lloyd is as good for 22 and 110+ as almost anyone in the league.

The durability aspect is even more important in defence given the dearth of playing coverage on the bench.

I'm still on neither. Titch was great without O'Meara but will he hold that role that he hasn't been playing all year, especially given they got spanked with him in it (it's his best role though!).

Kelly still hasn't shown much, to be fair his role was better this week, love to know his CBA but it seemed to actually be a few at least.

Still prefer Gaff or generating the cash for Steele over those two personally.

They could both go huge obviously but durability is definitely an issue and Mitchell's role has not been great this year so I do worry it's just an O'Meara related spike. Eagles also allow a lot of cheap touches.

Mills for D5, Lloyd if it's D6.

Stand by what I've been saying since the second it was said that Mills would play midfield though that he can average 115+ in that role, he's so clearly our best midfielder, the only person who doesn't seem to know it at this point is Horse and even then I think he just doesn't value the midfield, at all.

But Lloyd is the safe pick, you need someone to play 14 games, average 105+ from here, he's just about the safest pick in any position.

Yep, that durability is big, Mills has been pretty good, but has picked up a few injuries and inside midfielders do get banged a lot more than seagulls feasting on chips.

I want to PTF this week and next but I don't think there is a decent rookie option next week which sort of forces the double down.
