And most of them I managed to avoid for that very reason. I'll be stronger next year. Yup, Jelly there is a way to break every rule. But I think we overlooked the lesser known and less publicised rule 'Leon C is a C, so don't pick GWS premos or rookies'. Ash, Cumming and Tarantula are doing their thing...slowly but surely. Maybe to move the rant thread...
They look great moves to me especially in a season where rookie cash gen is compromised and trades are getting burned on constant injuries. A team full of 22 uber premiums is probably a pipe dream now. You would be getting a reasonable F6 and M8 and both are underpriced for their expected output in my view. In fact Impey is actually the No. 6 FWD right now. 
Of course there are some risks such as Brayshaw's susceptibility to the tag and opposition coaches have picked up on that. As for Impey he's never delivered premium scoring until now plus has had some durability concerns in recent years. But all considered I think they are pretty good trades for the money Shannon.

I've been planning on Grundy for a couple of weeks but it also means Flynn vs Rowe or Jones or Waterman or McReery!!!! Think I broke even this week without Grundy and with Dunkley and Dusty out next week, Sidebottom is probably the better play. And Grundy's price is not getting out of hand. It's hard to watch him play against VFL rucks each week though.
Real interesting opportunity with Dunk & Neale this week. Some real value on the way in FWD & DEF lines over the next month or so.
Bit of planning to help capitalise is in order. Feels like it’s going to be a really important trade week for most of us with the myriad issues that have come to the fore this round.

Watching him score 150 whilst getting smashed is just grinding my gears and not having him seems like a massive negative POD, I can sleep better knowing that his huge scores arent pushing me further behind.. oh well
EDIT: Will just have to roulette one week with Jones/Waterman/Treacy whilst holding Dusty (as most would)
