He was at the captain’s run so I’m assuming he’s good to go.

As much as I'm not interested in Greig, yeah, he may be a better option than Olo...

But team ethos suggests Olo the right pick.

Need to figure out trades. PANIC

I was going to sell Cotter for Hopgood after buying last week which is annoying

Probably still will because my expectation was a quick cash grab rather than R13 so he might drop more in price before R13

Hopgood definitely got mentioned as someone who is 'doing a great job' & can confirm he was high on D Fifita

Whether to go Preston to Matterson.

May be better to hold.

1917 was good. I really like Dunkirk though. Big Chris Nolan fan.

Won’t be able to listen until tonight but apparently Cotter wasn’t mentioned which is a gigantic kick in the dick as my reasoning for getting him last week worked

Long video but through some quick skipping some small things to note:

- There will be players who played origin last year who won't be selected and will have to miss out

- DFifi is playing the best he has in a long time. Billy is impressed with what he is doing off the ball. Billy mentioned about building long term habits so DFifi can do it at rep level

- Walsh, same thing. Billy said he is really cementing habits that will make him a great player for the next 10-15 years. Also mentioned the same as DFifi, needs to be able to do that at rep level

- Pinghead, says he has spoken to him about enjoying his footy. Will watch what happens over the next three weeks

- Billy said a lot without saying anything.

Paulo origin too you'd think so should see an uptick.  As it was mentioned Davey straight in for Carty isn't a good sign for Carty so Matto might even go back to the edge at some point.  I think Matto a strong chance for a bench spot too in Origin.

Olo seemed to score well from the bench last week but we've seen in the past that scenario never really has good fantasy outcomes.

Andor really caught me by surprise. I was never a fan of Xena in space (mando) and didn't watch Boba Fett but gave Andor a shot and it blew me away. Loved it.

Rogue One is still an awesome watch. Han Solo movie was so bad I honestly can't remember any of the plot.

I actually fell asleep

awesome, thank you, I did search online but couldnt find anything

cheers

in this interminable wait for some actual football I've pulled a record out of my stack that I didn't give much love to at the time of purchase and found that it definitely rocks in an Australian punkish rock way.

Shepperton Airplane - Sharks

Two thirds of the Aus punk legends Peep Tempel with some other dudes

Cotter not mentioned, that's right.  

My take on a couple of comments:  Difi in the 17; Ponga needs more games but that could mean 1 extreme or the other (although felt he was leaning towards him); Slater is a massive Robson fan.

It's a very refreshing interview, and keeps going for 3 minutes after it officially ends.  Billy is also a MASSIVE fan of due diligence, although he struggles to articulate it...

Slater picking Freddy's team too?

Fuck, it was Walsh

Anyway, Murwillumbah, that's in Queensland right...

I think I'd be all over Greig if I didn't already have Matto and Lane. The next lot are an annoying amount more expensive though (Niko/RHunt/Gos etc)

Quite liked the obi wan show, if anything just for the Vader interactions and fights

Ooh yeah that was good.

after getting in a bunch of 300ish duds at least with Olo you get the 50k cash out on top so when he duds out you have the coin.

Yeah fair enough. You're right though, I can't justify paying over 300K for what their worth.

StuDogg101 wrote:Super jealous of all these big trades being thrown about. I'm looking at the other end of the heap.

Is it worth trading dead weight shitto to potentially money making/could also end up as dead weight shitto? Thinking about offloading Hymel Hunt. If so, who's the next best sub-$363k guy not named Bula or Oloapu?

Could also offload Crossland to Luki/Tatola et al but think I'd rather wait a week and see how they go.

I'm holding Crossland if that helps. Still has the potential to be a 70min 45pt scorer. Mann was either injured or bad or both. Crossland probably scores well enough for the bye round allowing you to target other positions unless you really really want an Eels Half. Still money to be made etc. I'm eyeing him to someone in rd14 unless he makes me sell him beforehand.

Good chance that 50K will be already gone though. If he starts, I'm all over him.
