Yep, you wouldn't want to be trying to bring in too many rpemiums who are just going to have their bye anyway, so you should try and bank a little bit of cash so you can more easily upgrade to R12 and 13 premiums in weeks 13 and 14

It definitely hurts but it is looking like he could average 120+ and I think that means he is still underpriced, not to mention a captain option. This might be the cheapest he is for a while.

Yep. Whitfields great. But at $800k you're paying top dollar for every point he makes you. Really hard to justify getting Whitfield at $800k+ When you could get a Cripps for sub $700k next week etc. Will Whitfield average more than Cripps? Hard to say.. and for that reason I dont see the benefit in grabbing Whitfield (especially pre-byes).
2018 Whitfield averaged 100, Cripps averaged 110. 2019 averages thus far are Whitfield 122, Cripps 105.
I think I'll take a Whitfield after R14 and perhaps as a last target for the final rookie.

Hmmm Dusty Dusty Dusty. Great bye and severely underpriced if he plays full time mid.. but.. Cotch back this week is concerning. Rocky Hayes and Lockhart all our nearly forces my hand.. wanted to get Walsh out this week for a Kelly/Gaff but that might have to wait

Brayshaw > Taranto
Parker > Gardner
Think I'll just ride Bewley and Baker on field in midfield and cop whatever that does to me, both have shown decent signs though.

I agree with a lot of what you said mate but just a few things to keep in mind.
Gold Coast this week, should be instant reward.
That 122 average is even with his injury affected 39 so that average is much closer to the 130's.
His lowest score (not including the injury game) is 104 and has only dropped under 110 twice this entire season.
He has already had two scores over 150 for the year including a 190.
And last but not least he is available as a defender so i think that increases his value as he is not needed to clog up a midfield spot.
tl;dr most consistent player in the game, highest ceiling, could still go up in price and can be picked as a defender.

Thinking:
Rockliff > Gaff
Wells > Gardner
I've got Scrimshaw (injured) sitting on the bench this week. Any other suggestions? Should I go Rockliff > Cripps to save even more cash for the bye rounds?

Yep. He could decide the rankings really over the byes. If Whitfield averages 150+ through the byes then non-owners haven't got a hope.
A simple opponent (GCS) can easily have the opposite effect on scoring (eg. games done, whitfield to the bench or whitfield to half forward to netflix and chill). Whitfields been at his seagulling best racking up +6's this year but I honestly dont see him as a 120+average player.
Nothing has changed from last year to justify this +20-30ppg increase so I'm backing (perhaps stubbornly so) that this is a purple patch.
I've got no doubt I'll need Whitfield eventually but I suspect purchasing an $800k player pre-buys could be devastating for trade flexibility in the next 3-4 weeks. I'd rather be accidentally swimming in cash in R14 because I shopped from the bargain bin rather than scrounging around for that spare changes down the side of the seat cause I blew my wallet on Whitfield.
But in reality I'm probably of this mentality because I started with Macrae and am losing ~ $200k on him so far. I simply don't have the luxury to spend the coin on Whitfield right now if I seriously want a complete premo team by R14.

People doubting Whitfield or think this may be a flash in the pan should go back and look at what he did at the end of the year. There’s a reason most of us had him at the start before he decided to come out and say he will be playing forward.
From round 15 onwards he went 105, 150, 114, 130, 118, 135, 72 (Hewitt got him), 124, and 125 to finish off. That’s an average of 119 for a defender at 800k
Yes he can get tagged but he is playing as a half foward and running up the ground. Forwards get tagged every week, they call them defenders.

Crouch or Rocky out for Whit?

I had Gaff for Rocky locked in but the $100k saved going to Cripps won me over.
Got a bit spooked with where all my upgrade cash was going to come from when I looked at the rookies on my bench so I thought going for value was the safer option at this point.

Tonight’s game has to be the longest wait to 7:50pm for nothing surely. I’ll bring in one of Houli or Martin simply to give me something to watch so I don’t fall asleep through it.

I'm sticking to my plan....
Drew and Danger swap - Corbett on the field in the middle, Young the E coverage in the forwards.
Drew can get traded next week to someone...
