Birds average at lock in games >70 minutes is 52. I think you're expecting a bit much for him to pump out 60s easily or regularly.

I'm going to hold Butcher, basically its Trindall or Doorey that have to go for me (and probably the other next week).

Butcher at least good for around 40 scores. The other two aren't worth keeping around *unless injury to Hynes. Trindall scores 10 this week he makes about 20k. Doorey scores 25 and he makes about the same, but at least won't drop money the following week. Maybe Doorey just plays the Murchie role and gets 35 mins in the middle at a better PPM.

Just trying to be wary of 1 week HIA's etc and having too many duds down the bottom of the list in the next few weeks.

Pre-trades I have Bird and Alamoti at CTR with Hammer, Walsh and Miller at WFB (Warbrick and Sloan as cover) so I don't really need the CTR cover.

Keppie seems to be getting 40ish mins a game and scoring at about 1ppm, for 90k less than Lemuelu (355k)

This would leave me 171k bank which would mean that next week I could potentially trade Trindall to Burton in one trade if things work out (They would need to get 47k closer together so I wouldn't bank on it), or alternatively Boyd and Trindall for Soni Luke and a half around 700k

I started with MCK and has been happy days

For similar reasons, thoughts on selling Terrell May rather than EButcher??

May has some money to make still probably, and Butcher probably becomes a half next week anyway. But as you say if it's carnage next week, I can at least play Butcher.

Other options to sell are Doorey or Trindall.

Thoughts?

If you have the Bird/Ala at centre, then I’d be looking at bringing in Keppie. I had him as a trade in this week until all the nullnull chatter, and the thought of no more HSS scores were music to ears.

Yeah I think I'm locking in Keppie for now, given that I don't need the CTR cover. That extra money in the bank could be crucial next week since if Burton doesn't look quite right (or even if he is) then I can go further up and get a half like Fogarty or Brown in preparation for the Origin period.

Also helps with MID cover because pre-trades, Ford is my only spare MID so having Keppie there is nice.

Probably depends on people’s team makeup buddy, people wanting a HOK for round 13 will be looking Brailey where people who already may have a round 13 HOK (eg Robson) might be looking at Api.

Pretty sure all Cleary holders will be captaining him.

He only made the move into the forwards last season and didn't start any games last year.. only played two off the bench that were over 30 mins (one was 31 mins).

There isn't really any prior stats to go on for him.

As I said before, he's not a must have, but he's a cheapish edge forward that is selectable at centre. The appeal for me is that he is not Harley Smith Shields.
