Day is such an interesting one. Form and role looks good, so on the one hand it's a potential D6 at $450k. But unproven in this role over a period of time and injury prone - with the number of trades invested in fixing injuries, it might not be the best move to bring in a risky player that has unproven upside. Especially when someone like Sicily is ~$80k more, and Sinclair not ~+$90k.
I think I've changed my mind and I'm leaning towards passing on him and going for either Sicily (have Sinclair already), or potentially paying up a bit more for Walsh or another prem mid.

Probably just a double down here, Mitchell & Wagner in for someone & someone else. If I use a boost then I can afford Jelly, it's just whether I'm willing to risk the inevitable happening, preference would be Serong but I think I'll be a tad short on funds.
Day and Green coming back in is sort of 2 upgrades, although LDU is definitely NQR, so a bit of a wait on that front.

Don't think Wagner will hold his spot over Wilson myself.
Looking at Wilmot and Jones out, for Mitchell and maybe Cincotta. Cincotta has similar JS issues to Wagner, but think he'll be ok in the short term (also $20K cheaper)
Would love to grab Tom Stewart this week too, but think I'll fall just short of it from EVR (who hasn't peaked and has North Melbourne next week too)
If loops go well (Williams Game 1) - I might pull the trigger on Hollands > Stewart, who's been solid but just can't get a spike score.
Probably still lots to play out!

I don't know the details of all the injuries but he had an ankle fracture in 2021 and pretty sure he had another ankle injury in 2022.
Looking at his game counts:
2020 - played 11 of 17 games (missed 5 in one block plus 1 other game)
2021 - played 5 out of 22 games (missed 9 games in one block and 8 game sin one block)
2022 - played 17 out of 22 games (missed 2 games, 1 game, and 2 games in 3 different blocks)
So 2021 was obviously the big year but still has missed chunks of games in the other years too.

Agree - Wagner made many errors Fri pm, I think he was found out by the pace of the game. He can certainly find the ball (even took some kicks ins Fri pm which was surprising) but in the 2 games he has played now he has had many turnovers in the back half which hurts the team in a major way.
Cincotta to me looked far better, mentioned it yesterday than he had composure/ made good decisions & executed well. Think Voss would be happy with his performance, expect him to get a decent amount of games in a row now.

Agreed. It was good to see them back him in for a 2nd game, but I don't think they'll continue for a 3rd. One thing in is favour is after Wilson, he's the next in the pecking order, but I wouldn't be relying on him for plans.
Cincotta was great yep, in a high paced game too. Did get caught HTB once but otherwise was one of our better defenders.
We have Saad to come back (maybe week after next) but I expect we will just shuffle Kennedy out of the backline first (Kennedy has been playing back last two weeks
)
We also have Boyd who I think they will get into the team when they can (played first VFL game for the year this week) but Cincotta had been performing consitently in the VFL so they may make Boyd wait.
Then there is Doc too, who could come in for Cincotta when he is fit, but could also just replace Cowan, who has been solid but not outstanding.
