6/892 Gawn
Tempting to try to take Sweet score by trading out Meek, would mean bringing Pink back in def (Graham covering Stewart) and copping a donut (will not cost a trade as effectively swapping Pink for Meek) -- unfortunately system doesn't allow reverse trades that way and need to consider next week.
Sweet looks incredibly athletically built for a 206cm ruckman, however, still have mental scars from running rookie Port ruckman last year who scored well in first two games and then gave up 60's. Really disappointing Darcy didn't get ruck status so those without Jackson have a viable ruck back up.
Next week the E will be on Sweet (1st game) and depending on score could move Meek on then.
Do you take Wilson 88 score over Roberts or Clohessy?

Same boat here although Grundy is my R2 who has just scored a 158.
Pros for me are obviously this weeks points being locked in, Grundy is one of 6 missing the round 12 bye and he would have been gone this week if he hadn't have pulled that 158, get's Livingstone back at R3 which opens up the swing with Jackson for coverage and the extra $ released means I can upgrade into better premos rather than being forced to shop in the bargain basement. The move is not costing a trade either as I've reversed the Williams trade out and ideally need Sweet to last until his bye. Jackson is insurance should Sweet get injured,
Cons I guess are that Grundy goes on a run of good scores that I'll miss out on so have to be prepared to bleed some points at R2, he wont be up against an injured Marshall every week, I'll have to trade in a decent ruck once Sweets run comes to an end and that could be difficult, Jackson might be the saviour there.
Looks like the pros outweigh the cons in my position, either that or I've done a good job in convincing myself that it's the way to go.
8/1127 Gawn
Been a good week so far, locking in the Sweet trade, Drew as a POD with 114 and effectively up against Butters/Rozee/Steele is excellent timing especially for someone at a $511k buy in (I wont mention last weeks 63) Looped Wilson's 88

I said 7/1050 not 8/1050. 
Butters and Steele ruining the 120+ party.
8/1050
Played: M Gawn (C), B Howes, N Daicos, N Martin, T Green, H Thomas, Z Butters, J Steele
Yet to play:
Saturday: C Comben, H Sheezel, I Rankine, O Dempsey, S Walsh (new recruit), H Young, N Fyfe, M Bontempelli and S Darcy (WB)
Sunday: S Clohesy, T Miller, B Grundy, I Heeney and M Roberts
Running a Gawn and Grundy ruck setup with no boosts remaining, so the Sweet inclusion next round will likely stay on the bench.

I’m banking Sweet and trading out Grundy with Jackson as backup. May as well take the early mover advantage points on Sweet.
Ideally one of English / Grundy throw in a down score this week to make a Sweet to either trade an easy play in a few weeks. Grundy coming out of Rd 12 bye would be ideal if Sweet can get the job done that long.
