DC was great. Finished on 100 even though he was -1 for most the first quarter.

LJ could be impacted by the return of Darcy. Not sure I would want to risk choosing between a #1 team ruck or a #2..

DC for me.
 
Lloyd v Sinclair v Ridley v Ryan
1. Sinclair: role shifts are annoying, but has a big ceiling and the most recent SP history.
2. Ryan: as Freo have gotten better, he's started slowing down. Less chip chip chip nonsense in their backline. Still, mammoth ceiling, but be wary that we haven't seen his usual horrific stinkers yet. They'll show up eventually.
3. Lloyd: think he'll slow down with Sydney getting players back. Lower ceiling than the two above.
4. Ridley: he's Ridley. Good player, but there'll inevitably be a run of five games where he doesn't go above 80 soon. If you got him last week, great, but considering he's now jumped in price and plays one less game for the remainder of the year than the other three now, easily the least appealing option.
 
What with trades being rare as anything these days, may need to compromise on a completed team. Would you rather:

Day at D6 or Ashcroft/Humphrey at M8? Cameron will likely be F6 regardless.

Maybe i m delusional, but i keep thinking Day is going to come good. Id back him in personally. humphrey looks good but seems to have relied on hail mary goals the last couple of weeks to get his scores, sceptical it can contunue.

Day at D6 IMO. Less likely to hit a wall than the other two, and the ceiling/role is still there.

Also other options at D6 aren't that appealing.

Realistically the best teams might be putting 10-15 points on you per week, whereas if you have Ashcroft at M8, then that jumps to around 25-30 points.

Good question. I agree with Day.

Same thing but Zeibell at F6 vs Ashcroft/Humphrey at M8?
 
Ok, my turn to ask the question lol. Which combo sounds best?

a. Warner and Sinclair/Ryan/Lloyd
b. Brayshaw and Young
c. Brayshaw and D Cameron (with the caveat that I'd have one less premo next week and rank is vital)
d. Two of Ryan, Sinclair and Lloyd (with Dawson swinging into the mids for the remainder of the year)

Brayshaw/Cameron for mine. Still a lot of the season to go.

Think I'm coming around to this. With the cash left over by going Cameron now, if I get desperate for an extra premo next week, I can potentially just go early on cashing in Cincotta for Ryan/Lloyd.

C - Ruck cover could be huge late in the season (I'm expecting a lot of teams will be out of trades with 6 weeks to go this year).

Absolutely. Was always planning to get Cameron after his bye, but doing it now means I can go Brayshaw over Warner, and the trade-off is probably worth it.

Yes I got him last week, figured why wait if I could afford him. As long as it doesn't cause you a donut that is.

You might lose about 60 points having one less premo next week (reckon a few will be in the same boat as well), but reckon Brayshaw outscores Warner by 60 easily by season’s end, and Young, Ryan, Sinclair and Lloyd are all riskier choices than Cameron, who also gives you cover.

Personally think it’s a no-brainer, especially when you consider Brayshaw went 190 last time Freo played Rich at Optus.
