    Nope, you need to wait 5 weeks because there is 30 days in April.

    The irony is you are not even allowed to swear in there, at all. What Butters did with the Lounge originally I thought was with good intent, but it is too sterile.

    I still maintain that you have never beaten me even though that is a blatant lie and you have a significant higher fantasy pedigree and nous than I do.

    My opinon on drinks is like most things in life - drink whatever the fuck you like and if people don't like it they can fuck off.

    I drink a shitload of random assed craft beers and whiskeys but I'll also smash a midori illusion quite happily.

    Worth holding onto Fifita boys? After an average start to the season, is he worth persisting?

    I like to choose my beer based on location e.g.

    Random poncy craft beer on my back deck cause I like that sort of thing
    Forex Gold at a bowls club or old school pub (never order a craft beer at a suburban pub it's been sitting there for ages)
    Pint of overly strong craft beer at my local inner city bar
    VB longneck at 'edgy' Melbourne alleyway bar
    Something in a green bottle at my mate who doesn't like flowery beers place
    Great Northern at a meat smoking course I got dragged along to when surrounded by lots of chunky dudes with 90's style goatees (main purpose of these seemed to be for demarcating a chin)
    Corona at nowhere ever

    Back to fantasy-

    I had sold Burton to Starling in what (in hindsight) appears to be a desperate move to raise cash for Cleary. But now assuming I leave Cleary another week this trade suddenly seems a little rash and I will probably reverse it. I do still want to get Starling in my team but I think this is the last week for him. Tempting to trade JKing who whose role might be drying up, but his breakeven is so low it would be silly not to give him another round.

    Think I might have to let Starling go. Saving a trade is a nice consolation though.

    I'm trading him to Cleary, probably this week.

    I am pondering this. He’s priced at 50, which is ridiculous. But its hard to see him scoring well in tryless games at the moment. If Grant plays 80 minutes for 65 Fantasy points and is basically a straight trade, then its going to be hard not to jump ship.

    General consensus is basically unless you're doing Fifita - Cleary, might as well hold if you've had since the beginning.

    I don't agree with that. I'll be going Fifi to a HOK. I've watched enough. Not putting up with his lazy running. It's mostly his fault, not the team not playing him in
