Leaves me with
Api,
Haas, Smithies, May
Pikachu, Chan
Cleary, Hunt
Burbo, Strange
Ponga, Pappy, Turbo

Lussick, Fainu, Salmon, Galvin
Hughes, Levi, Hutch and Cotric

With 75k in the Bank.

Fingers crossed for 2 weeks of no injuries and I can sit on what I have and make a little bit of cash.

I think I was first invited to play Fantasy in 2015, so coming uo to 10 years too.
Still end up being a total trade-whore and finishing the season somewhere between 2000 - 4000.
The holy grail for the Budgers is a top 1000 finish.

Hutchison was hard to watch in the weekend so leaning towards trading him but has been known to go large.

imo, aside from equally underwhelming scoring, Flanno has marginally better job security (drives the coach to training etc) while Hutch may be one more Bulldogs loss from being out of the team.

tell me bout this long game

Also if Nats playing over Wong does that not open up 2 interchange uses since Nat plays 80 generally? Could open up a window to give May less minutes?

Who could've imagined the buy of the week being a $574k bench middle?

The Pascoe Fiasco wrote:A fool and his money are soon parted! Why would anyone assume anything with Robbo, especially even considering betting on it! At the end of the day none of us have any idea what Robbo will do. Either trade him in or don’t, it as easy as that. Whether May starts or doesn’t start really doesn’t matter. He’s scoring the same as Haas at 300k less so just trade him in! It isn’t rocket surgery folks!

I think with May you need to consider the upside risk and the downside risk

Upside risk is you are getting a cut price keeper for 574k.

Downside risk he probably averages low 40s, which is about where where he is priced. This is still a very playable score and byes are favourable to hold right up until round 19

Cut priced keepers are the guys that you cannot miss or it will be very costly. If everyone else pays 600k for a final 17 player where you have to pay 800k that takes a few trades and some great cash gen to make up for. I'd be surprised if any team that missed SJ last year ended up anywhere near the top 1000

I feel like the upside risk is well worth possibly burning 2 trades on the downside risk

I like Curran and am not too fussed on position as they'll be 13-17
