Yes you might be right. Although McVee is a defender, so I'm not sure he could be replaced by Pickett unless they play both Harmes and Brayshaw in defence (which is possible). Melkham was the sub, so he was already outside the 22 (I'd expect Van Rooyen to come in for Gawn as another tall forward, although maybe they just play a smaller forward line).
Harmes is probably the main contender given how much he struggled, and of course someone else could always get injured.

Yep hesitant to call anyone a must have. But I should have the luxury (touch wood) of being able to bring him in next week.
No chance I'm trading Greene to him (ok maybe if he scores 30 again but I rate him)
Will be interesting if I have someone to downgrade to him, I'd rather not have the issue of having to trade Hoppers/Flanders but would look like them.

I hate to be that coach who has any of the above mentioned players...
I'm only showing those that are popular or relevant for this purpose though I can give you Owens if that makes you happy.
Thanks for the Cole and McVee pick up, can always count on your fine comb.

My F6 of Davey/Greene/Ratugolea certainly isn't inspiring me after 2 rounds so he could be on the Round 3 watch list

I watch GWS games. Buckley is a solid player but he's ultimately a KPD. He's got a decent pair of hands but 87.5 is a bit of a freak average for a KPD off a small sample size - I'd expect him to mainly score around that 65-80ish range, with occasional spikes into 90s but also falls into the less than 50 range. For a rookie I'd be happy enough with that if needed. His 2021 gives a decent idea - averaged around 66 if you strip out his injury game, made about $150k off it.
Given what he's shown I'd hope he keeps his spot when Aleer, Keeffe and/or Davis come back, I'd rather Haynes out for Aleer and Davis and Keeffe to stay in the 2nds (though it sounded like Davis was coming straight into the seniors until he re-injured himself which isn't good).
