Didn't see it mentioned in thread but GInbey is playing backline this week.

Gave a free away to Lord, but looks good when on the offence.

If Shuey is injured, and with Bazzo sub, wouldn't surprise me if moves back to the midfield later in the game.
That’s great if he’s playing in the backs. Should see plenty of it.

Let’s go controversial, Libba sliding in below the knees, Brayshaw free kick, no penalty.
Perhaps a slightly biased Libba owner here but it seems to me that Brayshaw had options other than leading with the hip

Might be wrong here but my recollection of the incident was that the hip was not the contact point. It was Brayshaw's knee, which after the incident he was holding. Libba moving towards Brayshaw much more than Brayshaw moving and leading with hip. And Walters pushing Libba into the contact did not help.

Dawson is ave 129 from 5 games. Let's assume the pace eases off a little and he ave 120 for the full season. That means from now till rd 23 he ave 117. And a player ave 117 would most likely have at least 3 or 4 games of sub 100 scores till season end.
Dawson's a great example. I don't have him so I cant give it a crack but yeah, if he puts out 129 a week against Hawthorn and Collingwood then he'll be up around 690k.

If he finishes at 120, then yeah hell need to go at 117. Doubt that Macrae and Zerrett will still be under 600k in a couple of rounds but it gives you an idea of who might be available that can average you 110. If they too are reverting to mean, then that average will be a little higher, maybe even getting you close to like-for -like. Even if you have only 30-50k in your kitty at that stage, that and the money freed up from the downgrade could fund a topped out McKenna for a bottomed out Sicily or Cogs or whoever.

1 down 1 up (with a small bit of help from the kitty) and you've improved your premo count and added 20 -30ppg. It's good supercoach. Yeah you don't have Dawson anymore. But it isn't about who you have in your squad. That's all just means to an end. What counts is how many points you have at the end of it all.

Where might it go wrong?

Well.... Clayton Oliver for 1. Still waiting for any sign that 130 isn't actually his benchmark. Tim English is probably another now. He's a machine at the moment and it doesn't just look like a run of good form. He looks to be now realising his potential. Is it the same with Dawson? Is he the next Clayton Oliver?

I don’t own either, so fairly unbiased, but Bradshaw doesn’t have massive intent here, I feel like he’s just positioning to challenge for the ball and Libba goes in underneath him. If you’re putting your head down low in the contest there always a chance it's going to get ripped off.

As noted in previous posts, it is not who you have but when you have them that matters.
