Im with you he has to go, to many of his team mates are taking points from him. Sadd was the pick out of the carlton players. Im happy i made that move during the week and bought oliver in for him. Don’t think he will average a 100 this year atm his lucky to average 90-95 and from watching him pretty closely his lucky to do that.
I'm going Grundy because I believe he'll score great in the next 4 weeks or so, and to save the 100k, English is scoring well but could go down anytime. Not trying to be negative, it's a fact, I could afford any Ruck but would rather have some serious dosh left for next week rather than blow it all. If English is still going great in 4 weeks when Gawn gets back and hasn't gotten injured, maybe I'll flick Grundy to him or Witts, whoever is looking good. Ultimately it's up to you mate, that's just what I'm doing, not necessarily what you should do, trust your own instinct.

Not sure how you went with this decision.
I was pretty close to Grundy this week and it would have allowed Worpel to LDU. Held off, however, expect Grundy this week and potentially next week matches English, with always a chance English throws up a 100. Grundy should go 140 this week vs eagles.
My only challenge is English price could rise by same level Grundy does over next 5 weeks, really felt it needed to go more which is not a given.
Wouldn't bother me if you could go sideways to Gawn, yet, it needs Gawn to come in and play two games as main ruck for his score to bottom out. In that time Grundy could post 70's and drop in value from his peak.
Just became complex however still think if he helps an upgrade then it will be a win for next 4-6 weeks. Those of us hit with many injury trades are better saving one trade. English could get inured still, then so could Grundy.

The big one to consider here is our enjoyment of watching footy and our state of mind if he continues to play like this 😱 So on that factor alone I will be trading him. At times there seems to be a reluctance to admit that a player is not playing well and just because he is a so called premo we are hesitant to trade him.
Can’t express how happy I am that Carlton finally drafted two ready made players from last draft. Hollands and Cowan have stepped in and haven’t missed a beat. Hollands once again ran and ran and ran all day long, goes hard all day and doesn’t stop, his defensive efforts are second to none. Pretty sure he’s topped the tracker in all 4 games so far, and ran about an extra km to 2nd place today. Cowan for a first year player has some of the best courage I’ve seen, puts his head over the every contest without hesitation and never backs down from a contest. We have two absolute gems on our hands and I expect them to both play majority of games this season. Going into this season I wasn’t sure where Hollands sat with LOB, but he’s made that wing his and it will be for a very long time.
Binns another draftee from last year, had 28 and kicked 2 in the VFL today, expect to see him be given a run at some point this year.
