Cripps appeal at 6:30ish.
Merrett despite his 5 game average is not and has never been a super premo in this game, this past weekend was proof of that. He is a very good player, and happy I picked him up at a bargain 520K, however he is not in the same world as the likes of Laird, Oliver, Neale, Touk, Steele, Walsh, Parish, Mills etc etc.
averages since the bye
Walsh = 108
Mills = 111
Macrae = 111
Steele = 115
Merrett = 117
Parish = 94* (3 games for an injured 51 then 112 & 120 - averaging 118 pre injury)
Neale, Oliver, Laird & Touk at a level above all others this year - Zerrett is well in the mix with all the rest and has history of 110-115 averages
- that said due to his price he wont be the one to replace Cripps for me.
What's Bray Freo since the bye ?
Bray = 108
the only other player worth mentioning is Trac = 124

That 117 average contains games all bar 1 without Parish in the side and against bad or depleted opposition with the exception of the pies who back Thier system and let Oppo mids run wild and the swans where he kicked 3 goals, which we won't see all too often.averages since the bye

the last few days before the teams drop are SOOOOOO boring...hate the waiting.
134k and one trade.
Do i trade Ridley, Short or Lipinski?
Can afford any defender or forward I believe...

Like it!Hewett and Cripps > Laird and Zorko.
Can loop Zorko and Lizard this weekend.
Trades exhausted
I think our boy is home after looking at that. raymagoo
Gawn imoSeason is shot in terms of ranking, have slipped out to about 6800.
Still in two cash league prelims so hopefully can make something of a disappointing year.
1 trade left. Cripps has to go as my cover is Hough/Owens.
Can afford up to $588k.
Options are pretty much the same as everyone else:
A) Mills - Safe option
B) Walsh - potential for upside with half the blues mids missing. Melbourne unlikely to tag.
C) Parish - big upside potential.
D) swing Parker into the Mid, Marshall fwd and take Gawn.
I'm leaning toward Mills.
Thoughts?
Surely its Oliver.Cripps to oliver or Cripps to Parish and 1 trade in hand for final round
