Haha all good, I got the joke mate.

Putting it in the context of not having Cleary against the hapless Dogs, probably changes things to be honest.....I'd be doing the exact same thing!

Bit of a hit and hope scenario

Want to swerve and get in Momirovski but I feel that’d be really going against the grain and missing easy cash rises in the mentioned MID options.

I went with the Ofa/Leniu option and really curious why you are going the other direction.

a) Lodge and Gosi to LAM and Stefano. Given LAM would be in my starting side to replace Lodge, I think he'll score a few more points per week than Alvaro/Leniu.

b) Lodge and Gosi to Leniu and Alvaro. Would play both this week and one goes into NPR next week with Angus back.

c) One trade Gosi to Stefano. Would have to play him this week though. Get to hold Lodge and save a trade which is nice because all of the trade in options suck. Something better should pop up.

Thoughts?

Think I'm doing B, I have Stefano though. If I didn't I think I'd go Lodge/Gos to Fui/Koala/Davey and Stefano.

Bring on the fantasy relevant halves, edges, and hookers I say

He was mentioned in the previous thread. Isnt there concern he eventually gets pipped for Naden or whoever went drinking the night before the GF. He did score well with minimal attacking stats, and will definitely have a 70 point game in him. But he will earn less cash than everyone else if he continues to score 40 points.

That and how many CTRs do you have?

I mean. you buy shitty players knowing they will throw up shitty scores. you just hope that they dont happen that often.

There is no obvious cash  cows after rd1. More like coin goats.

Might give my coin goats one more week to prove how shitty they are before wasting trades to other coin goats.

Host being dropped really shows how little faith Bennett has in the man after 1 game. Davey really impressed in the preseason and Gos's defense was shocking (albeit against one of the best attacks in the game). I think Davey holds the spot and has the game to hit 40's in 60 minutes of footy... Gos may even spend time in the middle.

Lodge sitting on the bench for 2-3 weeks is not healthy for early money making. Leniu has the game to make points fast and I can see him falling over the line for a try sooner rather than later. Need players in my squad making money early on. Using Crichton to loop Niu and Averillo as well.

I am happy to burn through double trades for the first few weeks as this is the time to jump on some early money makers/fix fires... No money makes have presented themselves this week but I have some fires to put out and Leniu/Davey are the two with their noses in front as to Job Security, Points Potential, Role going forward.

Have the bank to go Lodge > LAM but just scared on his role going forward due to HIA.
