I finally found my way to Mr. Oliver...

Simpson + Petracca + $37k
Angwin + Oliver + $27k

Just worried about Angwin's JS, already have a couple of dead rookies to deal with :unsure:

Angwin vs Simpson vs Teakle

JS is probs the most important as im starting to get a lot of dead rookies (Constable, Chesser, Cowan, Sturt and Johnson)

Parish vs. Merrett? Really struggling with this one. As a dons fan I love them both and I'm finding it very hard to choose.
I think either would be a good pick, if you think there's a chance you pick up both in coming weeks, go the one with the lower BE. With the Bombers getting a soft draw, playing both North and West Coast twice, both seem under valued (Bombers and soft in the same sentence sounds about right :ROFLMAO:). As I always pick one, I'll say Parish, but expect both should do well with that easy draw, no excuses this year.

He comes the rain in G-Town. Looks like its on and off for a while, but it could get nasty later.

Got my two jackets on - feel like Adrian Dodoro. While I do I think I'll show myself the door... and let someone else have a go at building a list properly.

So probably time for Ridley to go and if so which one of the following options comes in

Dawson Clearly the leading defender but most expensive and a little concerned he may not maintain these high scores. He could ave 101 from now till season end and still equal his 110 season ave from last year. Do not want to pay top $$ for a 101 or even 105 ave going forward.
vs
Sinclair not spectacular scores but consistent.
vs
Lloyd I have baggage with him from previous seasons but apart from a 77 a few round ago scoring has been good
vs
Powell Cheapest of all selections and has good rd 13 draw. Plus leaves reasonable cash for next upgrade or bye upgrades.

If you don't want to pay up for Dawson, Lloyd would be my pick.

Second combo.

Same boat myself and am deciding between Dawson, Doc and Powell. No interest in a 500k Doc? Very bye-friendly for my team.

Not convinced by Doc. Had a lean patch and missed a few games. Already got plenty of Rd 15 bye players as well.

I get the feeling the Dawson decision is akin to a Texas Holdem hand where you have a flush but you just know the other guy has a full house. Yet you know you are really obliged to play the flush.

Going to think about this one. A Lloyd or Powell trade gives me cash that means I might be able to do another upgrade that the Dawson trade denies me. Time to go into Protarot Management mode. That is like Project Management mixed with a large dollop of fortune telling.
