Arh! 20 likes to this tweet post but sadly been deleted by the time I get here! 😩
A clear case of the early bird gets the worm! Must‘ve been A Juicy worm! 😂
I'm going to guess it was a quote from Brad Scott saying Davey would play, only for him to end up being "managed", hence the deleted tweet.

Can safely say I’ll be taking Laird VC score.

I’ve both Michalanney and Holland’s with E on. Thinking of taking Michalanney over Jones.

Thinking the same VC Darcy, only concern is Moyle out rucked Marshall (stats based didn’t see game, could be based on last 1/4 when Marshall was subbed) and forecast of rain in a suburban ground. Darcy a better tap ruck than Marshall so could be an option.

Anybody see the game how does Moyle look as a competitive tap ruck?
Good discussion below

Now the problem for Dawson/Laird VC people is, the score you're getting off your bench, to lock in the donut as C.
My wife has Laird VC
Cowan (42) E on the Def bench, no good.
Hollands (64) E on the Mid bench. To lock it in, it means benching Mackenzie. If Mackenzie goes 90, and he could with Day out and a potential role change, you are giving up 26 points, to lock in 134. That seems disadvantageous.
Chandler (YTP) on the Fwd bench. But the decision on Hollands needs to be made before Chandler plays, as Davey is the donut.

So, locking in Lairds 135 means either:
Locking in Hollands 65, and hoping Mackenzie doesn't go big.
Or
Ignoring Hollands, and hoping Chandler (and Mackenzie) goes well enough as you've locked his score in over Hawthorn's Greene.

Will probably do the 2nd one. Prolly.
R3 donut here.. although Samson is giving me strong reason to adjust that.

Get a look at Ryan this week anyway imo.

20 BE means if he scores <55 he’s probably not worth a trade in.

55-75 he’s worth a look and only rises 17-30k.

80-100 he’s definitely a trade in but still only goes 30-40k up whilst then having that large score in his 3 round cycle for 2 low BE’s next 2 weeks and you don’t miss too much of his cash gen.

Had to use a boost for three forced injury trades. Doch, Witts & Nankervis.

Be nice to know how I'm angering the supercoach gods so I can stop doing it!
very unlucky, worst thing is last Monday morning you were only wondering will Witts be back, hope you brought Dawson in as compensation.

VC new boy Dawson, however, at this stage only way to take him is drag Jones, Constable on a take Cowan's breakout game (to low side) of 41.

Only other option is rather than upgrade Worpel to a mid, swing constable to mids and take Holland, however, not sure what defender I would want. last night it would have been Saad (after Dawson), now he is injured.

Gutted my team to get both Dawson and Stewart in this week. Was sick of seeing the mediocre plodders like Ridley taking up valuable real-estate - can finally look at my squad without dry retching.

439/2 Dawson C, Laird

I did the same, but got Saad instead of Stewart...I hope yours works out better than mine 😅
