I see what you're getting at but I'm not sure how I could possibly take advantage of a bumper score with a doughnut. Ratugolea will be locked out so I can't swap Madden out of R3 and get a F/M zero, so the alternative will be to start with two zeroes. What would Comben need to score to lock that structure in?

Still, having said all that, I'll give it a shot.
I think you worry about that in the unlikely event that it happens. However, you would be kicking yourself if it did happen and you were wasting your E on a player who is playing second last.

For all those complaining about a draw, wait till someone tells you about this game called Test cricket.......

Apparently they can play for 5 days, and it can still end up as a draw!!! 😂😂😂😂
Sorry but I have to call bs on this - test cricket is clearly a three-day game nowadays as players need to save a bit of energy for the money-making season (ie. the eleventy-seven overseas T20 competitions).

Hoppers game has me regretting not looking more closely at that price bracket. I'd completely missed L. Ash being there. Reckon he is a massive chance to be the one that got away
That’s the beauty of using your boost come round 3… you can make that correction trade for only an added 3k if hopper fails again…

How are Flanders owners feeling about the forward pocket naming? Not one to jump at shadows usually but that has to be just about the worst possible outcome for him.
Unless something has changed since last year then I wouldn't be paying too much attention to lineups on team sheets.

Shouldn't be too long before the more hilarious "positional changes" start filtering in...

Traded Menzie to Flanders yesterday. Go back today? Flanders clearly more scoring potential, but worried about cash gen and feel Menzie has a 4 goal spike in him in the first month. Or could be out next week for Snelling or Tippa.

Fortunately just convinced myself to hold by typing that. At Rd 3 I suspect I'll have corrections to make, so let's see what they when we get there

Yes, he will be gone when windhager returns.
You have piqued my attention!

How would you assess his JS? I believe St Kilda have the longest injury list at the moment.
Windhager has been named as an emergency so I think they'll give him every opportunity to get up and Bytel may even be the sub/subbed. I was keen but looking closer he'd have to have a blinder to stay in the team
Getting Cold on Bruhn, looking at the Cats side i cannot see how he kees his place unless long term injury.
Who pushes him out? They clearly Don’t rate Parfitt, Menegolas cooked and Duncan won’t be playing significant mid minutes anymore.

If you think he’s playing mostly mid, they’ve got their best midfield available and he’s in the side.
I have Bruhn, and I can easily see him going out of the side if they deem it beneficial for his development/their system; however, I think it's a risk worth taking because there are opportunities for him.
Bruhn has every opportunity, they need a replacement Selwood, someone tough on the inside, looks like he's been given his chance so let's see I guess. If he doesn't get the CBA's tonight he'll be out of my team next week, simple as that.
