Trading Oliver for Adams so I could get in Dow :-\
Oliver Henry - half time = 0 / donut / nothing
not onfield but not playing round 2 either if i'm bucks.
one rook down
Also Rowel to cripps.... cripps still can't break a tag. fingers crossed he works it out or they go after walsh.
Grundy Daniels average so far but can't complain at this point...
ooohhhh.....trainwreck......ignoring my own advice that i give to friends who havent played super coach and seeing their scores..mmmmm >:( >:( >:( :( :( :(
Taking the VC of Martin 1hr before bounce - Jury still out on Dow over Impey
Possibly picking Grundy as i had a feeling he was still out of form. Will still keep him now though.
Dusty out for Mitchell so far but I haven't seen Titch play yet. If he kills it I won't be too upset. Dunks and Macrae did pretty well so no major losses there.
Leaving Dunkley out for Rowell.
For me Dunkley is a must, but went Dangerfield and Dusty over Dunkley.
If Rowell goes sub 90 I think I’ll pull the correction trade come Rd3

To be honest I don't think you can be upset starting Dusty so far. Danger will likely destroy the Crows as well. Dunks is about 65k more than Rowell so it depends how you used the cash. Just back in your players because you have picked them for a reason, a 90 in round 1 means jack if they come out in round 2 and score 130.
Doesn’t help my 43 from Adams
I think most of us are having buyers remorse on Grundy.

expecting rucks to drop overall scoring and see grundy as less downside than gawn in cash loss and injury risk. biggest risk is quality of woods mids

Hit the nail on the head, mids are providing little support for Grundy, pretty hard to ton up when your HOTA have gone AWOL.

If rucks are dropping overall, anyone thinking of trading out Gawn now to a cheap ruck (Draper or cheaper) and upgrading a rookie mid??

Nank had 26 hitouts, tied for most that he had last season
Pitto had 34, which would have been good for his second highest tally last year.
Grundy had 39, which is bang on his average from last year of 14.4 and the two years prior of 20+. Stef is one of the only guys that has the ability to get around the ground with him and nullify him there.
What hurt Grundy is he only had 11 touches compared to his average of

Very small sample size to conclude rucks are dropping.. there’re has only been 1 premium ruck play so far.

What hurt Grundy is how many times his hit outs were sharked by Bulldogs mids. That equates to negative points. Collingwood's mids looked awful and that's going to hurt Grundy all year. Gawn still has a great midfield around him so he'll be fine in that department, his average will drop a little but due to a higher % forward. He'll be #1 by a decent margin so just start him

Also, Gawn will be more impactful across the ground and has a much better chance of scoring a goal here and there than Grundy. Gawn also plays against players in first 5-6 games that he will absolutely destroy and feast off them.
If there was ever a week for the top guys like Lloyd, Neale, Grundy and Gawn to have stinkers, this was the one to do it. That score will only be in the rotation for one price rise.
Add Gulden on Bench over Berry to the list, Think a lot of us will have some rookie errors.

Rowell subbed off injured in 1st Qtr with only 8 points will hurt a few.

In about 50% of teams so more than a few. Unless you think he is a keeper you have to trade him
Picking Danger over Dusty
Getting sucked into the Tom Green hype
At this stage it’s gotta be Neale. Two scores in the 70’s. I still expect him to be a top 8-10 mid if not top 4 but it’s a horrid start and will take some big scores. Now it’s whether to ride the cash loss or flick him for someone else and pick him up later when he bottoms out.
Regrets? I've had a few. Then again, too few to mention.

Agreed. Even if he dropped in price I still expected him to ton up.
I had Campbell with the E on my bench in anticipation of Scott getting dropped for loophole purposes and forgot to bring him on when Neale spudded anyway. That's a fun time

Not a regret but would have been nice to have started Taylor Walker. Jesus Christ. I mean, he will come back to earth eventually but he looks like he’s wound the clock back for sure.

Can still grab him with a correction trade. Likely to make a bucketload of early cash and be a quick upgrade to a premo

Everything else is looking pretty good tho, all premos look good, just hope Zerrett can cope with no one else to help him.

Have to keep him. He will turn it around.
Sucks to have paid all that coin for him for 2x70s.
So his price plummets now opening the chance for others to get him for cheaper. Annoying.
Cripps, Dow, Bruhn. Ridley for Daniel would have been nice too.
Thinking Cripps should bounce back vs Freo, but Brayshaw or Walsh would have been better options to start of with. Impey/Tex for Dow and Jordon for Bruhn, and Ridley looks so good. Daniel should bounce back even though he had a few clangers yesterday.
Cripps and Josh Kelly for me, but hoping both will bounce back. Should have stuck with Walsh and Dunkley. But sitting 12th overall so can't complain too much, been pretty lucky.
Only missed Jordan and maybe Berry for rookies. Considering Daniher to Tex and Fullerton to Jordan this week
Starting to think Caleb Daniel was a mistake over Ridley.
Besides that got burnt with Rowell and Dangerfield but made 2 trades.
Avoided Cripps, Dow, Caldwell.
Thinking Merrett has to improve as I picked him over Bont.
And I’ve got most of my rookies right except for Bruhn & Fullarton.
Jordon and Warner will come in this week.

Crazy you’ve managed 12th despite all those issues! Good effort!
