Yes Lachie Dash has had a pretty good fantasy month hasn’t he.

Unfortunately he will have made the majority of his cash growth after this week. So you would need to bet on him being a top 10 DEF from here to justify getting onboard now, and that might be a stretch. Also Whitfield’s imminent return is a variable that needs to be considered.

But his 1600 current owners would be quite smitten right now. (y)
Yup he is up to 450k now and can push up to 500k with b2b 95's. Not a bad pick if you started with him after making 130k up to this point. Another one of those midpricers who have made more than a rookie.

Was buzzing after nailing my VC in Macrae, and having Taranto and Dunkley.

Only to find that I've left Flynn on the ground over Gawn. I can't help myself can I?

444/4, or 584/4+C if Highmore doesn't play.

Looking forward to a Gawn double ton tonight...

I don't really know why anyone would be trading Ziebell, Impey, Hind or Walker at this point. Not only are they viable premiums right now but the only guys actually better than them are dropping like ten-pins. Walker perhaps the exception here given he looked very ordinary last week once he was a bit sore.

Silver lining of Dunkley injury is I have a pathway to Gawn now... because sideways trades are how you win this thing right?
Yeah, the plan to trade Tex now on hold. The worry is the injury and is he really over it, clearly went into the game with it last week.

No Martin, Danger getting traded today and Dunkley next week leaves me barren up forward. Feel my money better spent on a midfield than Martin right now.

Does this make McCreery more attractive this week? Does the fwd line thin out too much with Rowe, Bergman, McCreery and Waterman.

Edit: Realise no DPP in fwd line to get McCreery for JC. Question now how long Dunkley out (>3?) as if trading him next week, JC to Macrae this week will allowing a potential upgrade next week. Dont like to go early.

Who is your other ruck? Surely you would play Gawn over them?

So will probably take Scott’s E score from last night. Q is who to bench for it: Gulden, Powell, Jordon. Probs the latter up against the Tigers I guess.

Just Macrae and Jelly last night.
1 great.
1 horrible.

At least Kelly got his wing role back after HT, gotta hold him now.

Dunkley going down very lucky for me, still don't know how he managed to get more mid time with Treloar's inclusion and all the dogs mids keeping the scoring up.
Was never going to be able to afford the bloke.

With Mansell looking like not an ideal rookie, would people consider going super early on Stocker? Breaks basic SC rules. Will he get a decent run of games? Is expensive too.

I read that Berry has travelled with the crows, I thought he was injured as I was going to field him for a loophole???

Also, Campbell, is he being rested or used as the sub? Could get more tog as the sub then previous weeks

An option that smacks of risk. could pay off but if he plays well, we all jump on in two weeks anyway. benefit is only next two games, is it worth it

Berry recovered well from his ankle twist on Friday it was reported, is a sneaky chance (they suggested a grade higher than sneaky) to play or be medical sub.

Have Campbell on field, could easily be medical sub. Have E on Scott (65). McNeill on bench who came on as a medical sub and scored 49 and Clarke who could also be a medical sub! Not sure Clarke would be medical sub again, no game time last week would be an issue if two weeks in a row, although, is the perfect sub material with his speed.

Dusty, Tex, Ziebell, Impey, Daniher, Phillips, Degoey**, Buddy**

6/744 Macrae

2 rookies down (Flynn and Scott) and the Dogs trio have covered for Josh Kelly being crap.

Was all set to go Tex -> Walsh allowing me a proper one up/down for Neale or Grundy next week but now that Dunkley is out the temptation is to keep Tex. Feels like he is teetering on becoming a problem though with niggling injuries stifling his scoring last week.

Last thing I need is two injured forwards to trade next week when I'll be bringing in FMac and a premo :unsure:. Maybe I will take the gamble and bet against Tex in Tassie for the long term good...
