I'd wait until final team lists if you can. 2 weeks ago Capewell was dropped for Sorensen in final team lists. I'd check that isn't going to happen again before committing.

Scott Sorensen looked pretty crook last week when he came off the field for his HIA. Maybe he is struggling to get through this weeks concussion protocols and (maybe) that is why Capewell was named ahead of Sorensen this week. Only guessing of course.......................

So Storm have Dragons, Titans, Manly coming up. At a 40 average he goes up $100k and puts him in reach of Turbo. (disclaimer: not a fan of trading based on opponents)

Alternatively, RTS returns to form? This has got to be my toughest week in terms of options...

Reference Capewell, it might pay to see how his minutes go but most likely underpriced if he hits a 35 average (optimistic at 60+ min).

@Liverpool_dog Beautiful team. I'd hold. Save them trades man lol Everyone there deserves to be in their spots. Semi-risk (3/10) with three of your bench but just as likely to hit 40+ as they are 20s. You can afford to hold Dugan, most can't.

Most likely ET will spell him.

But even if he plays, 80 this week, Liddle or McIlwrick will be back soon enough

Ok thanks m8 had him from the start. He's in my EMG

By the way, can I just say the banner looks sweet. I love the minimalist look of it, looks nice and clean.

Trades this week that I am not 100% comfortable with.

Brown and Kennar out for any WFB and CTR that I want.

Went with Marsters and CWalker. (Both play round 13 and have DPP and are 2 of the best in CTR and WFB)

Good? Bad? What you reckon?

It may seem strange but I'm thinking of still keeping Brown. And Gosi. The reasons being, first of all I need a centre, now, and Dugan being a 4-6 week injury is a trade.

Secondly, Croker is gone for season and is a definite trade.

Thirdly I'm trying to minimise trades. Sure Brown might miss 2-3 games but that is better than 4-6 for Dugan (both keepers if fit) and season for Croker. Gosi I can re-consider next week. If I get rid of Croker though I have no half coverage (or CEN or WFB for that matter). But if I bring in RTS and put JMK on the bench I have coverage for half and wfb and I consider RTS in great form and a probable keeper.

So Dugan -> Dalker and Croker -> RTS. Gives me:

Cook
Fifita Arrow
Murray JFH RFM
Milf JT
Mitchell Dalker
Ted Ponga RTS

Rein Kikau JMK Sorrow

Surgess Brown Gosi Kennar

Thoughts? Crazy or masterstroke? Cheers lads!

Also, shout out to the guy who made the previous banner too!    Definitely looked good

@lewis9966 You're paying for Marsters at premium if that's what you want. Also, I'm wary of paying that much for C Walker... I'd argue Ramien (Keeper Centre) and JAC (value buy- will hopefully net 100k) that way you could upgrade later to a true gun WFB

Cheers mate, I'm a big fan of using a single image, i can spend more time getting it to look the way I want.

Glad everyone likes the new style, was a bit apprehensive rolling it out.

I reckon Lane will keep that spot all year. Not sure why Gossie got the start ahead of him to be honest.

You've done well mate.

Ever since Lane debuted for the Dogs a few years ago, I've thought he should be in first grade.

But he's struggled to get a regular spot at 3 clubs now so obviously there is some reason why he isn't delivering on his potential.

I think I'm just going to go Kennar to Marsters. It's a big chunk of cash but I like him and my centres are now set at least.....well at least until tomorrow morning;

Smith
Arrow JFH
Murray Tolo RFM
MBye Maloney
Mitchell Marsters
Teddy Ponga Thompson

Cook Griffin Kikau Rein

Havilli Isaako Sorenson Croker

I had forgot all about Ramien, will have a look now

What's stopping you from bringing him in?

Edit. Yeah maybe that price tag

There are no centres that I want, yuck

I've been really impressed with Lane and agree with Wolfy. But if I'm right about RTS for example (or any other potential keeper), if RTS is a keeper then he's maybe 100-150k undervalued, and the equivalent of a cash cow except you don't have to trade him out. Whereas Lane might make 150k also but, like all cash cows have to be traded out again. I guess we all need cows, underpriced guns, and straight out guns and it depends on what you need right now. *rambling.

lewis9966 wrote:There are no centres that I want, yuck

Yeah mate, with all the carnage I was hoping for a cheapie to pop up and most likely ran with them, no matter how bad, until Kennar or Dugan was back. I could sell Brown and pick any centre I want, but I can pick any centre I want anyway and none excite me!

Tyrone Phillips anyone? Mansour and Edwards out long term. Who am I forgetting?

i think im gonna bite the bullet and trading brown, which annoys the shit out of me as i was trying to be patient and save trades and liked the fact brown had relatively low ownership. 

brown -> matterson
dugong -> ramien
327k itb. matterson will solve problems when time comes to upgrade maloney.
