Might wait a week on Starling, and get Tago and Thompson this week. Starling next.

Thoughts? Don't want to compound my error and stubbornly refuse to get Tago, but if my logic is wrong I could use the wake up call. Cheers

Doing the same. My biggest fantasy flaw is stubbornly refusing to pick up a player who keeps gunning it, just because I passed them over at a cheaper price...

Yes and no, she is almost 2 but I thought we can get so invested in digital that its nice to switch off too and do something physical/constructive so this was my outlet
Also if Footy (fantasy and IRL) is your only thing and it goes to shit, then your escapism/outlet is gone with it
So my advice is to try new things, take a night off or make some time outside of online to do something fun

Anyways hopefully she takes an interest in painting/board games as something we can share other than Sharks/Jets games (Haha she has the sharkies chant sorted at the behest of her mother and grandfather)
Don't get me wrong I still enjoy this game but it can take over a bit, so this year is a bit more light hearted/relaxed
I mention this as advice for others too, which is why I shared

End of the day this is just a game, get involved in the social aspect/meet up too as it can give you an entire different perspective to the next time the online persona comments
The same with how comments can be misinterpreted via the tone being written down here
I don't hate anyone here, sometimes I might be simply challenging your thought process or perhaps think outside your box
Or frustrated a little at you as the potential to be a better fantasy player is there, but you need to take feedback onboard, take a breath and then make a decision. Probably helps you IRL as well

More mentor than player now, getting too old haha

After everyone rushed to trade him in on the back of a 65 and 87 he peaked 100k higher and averaged 36. Despite playing in a good team Tago is still a centre that probably projects long term to score similar to a Brian Kelly/Reimis Smith type. Great if you started with him but he doesn't have the talent of a Jack Bird/Joey Manu/Kotoni Staggs to average into the 40s

But this is a centre...traditionally a lot of score volatility in that position even for the gun centres.

Every chance Tago has just had two of his ceiling games, with a lot of ball going down his side on both attack and defense? Cleary return may even that out.

I don't think it's a trade you would look back on and massively regret by any means as he will make money and he will be a solid starter each week but I'm not sure the sample size is there to think he averages mid 40s, Momo averaged about 38 last year, Crichton has been around that the last two years. Just personally feel I have missed the boat and value saving the trade now more than getting him. We shall see how that goes

Mmm. Now you're getting close to talking me out of the trade. I do have Burton and Bird in my centres already, so don't really need another one in my 17...

Like most, I had Tago all pre-season, mainly because he looked like a quality footballer in his short stints last year. Nothing I've seen so far suggests that view was a mistake.

I’m thinking of going DWalker and build that Cleary bank balance up
