I’ll stay boring and take Grundys VC of 123. Got Flynn (C) so no risk there.

The VC has been good to me this year. Round 2 got Treloars 152. Round 3 got Dangers 132. So taking Grundys 123 here gives my VC an average of 135. And my C/VC average over 6 rounds is 131. Can’t complain.

131 here, hopefully the pig can lift it even higher after tonight !
 
No point getting Dusty in, while Riewoldt is out. While those owners who had him couldn't have foreseen Riewoldt doing his PCL, bringing him in any time before all of Caddy, Lynch and Riewoldt are playing up forward together, is a big mistake. He'll play forward for quite a bit, to compensate for Riewoldt, meaning he won't get the mid time needed to consistently ton up. Was a target when DPP's were announced, but quickly shifted back to reality when I realized that he'll be the number 1 tagged each week (without Cotch in) and that's only when he plays mid

Yeah with Riewoldt out i will be looking at trading him right back out. This had potential written all over it. Ugh
 
But how do you know you've nailed all rookies until they've had a couple of weeks to show what they can do. For example, my rookies round 1 were Collins, Clark, Duurs, Hore, Scrim, Butters, Constable, Walsh, Scott, Atkins, Setters, Drew, Balta and Parker.

Oout of those lot only Balta and Collins did badly, scoring 29 and 21 respectively. I traded Balta week 1 but kept Collins, and that's proven to be the right move because he's gone on to averge 50 and been a soli little earner on the pine, with still cash to go.

I had one free trade and went Dunkley to Rocky by Grabbing Miers and upgrading Atkins.

Perfectly reasonable trade and if i hadn't of done it I would have Dunkley who averages 76 as opposed to Rocky averaging 110 (with a concussion effected score).
I’m not against fixing up premiums early as there’s always going to be a few bad eggs aka Dunkley this year. Rooks are just a higher priority early as cash generation is king. Don’t need months worth of data to tell you trading a rookie that scored 20 and has a positive BE to one that scored 80 and has a -20 BE is a good move. Sure it could all change as soon as the following week but the same thing is true for any premium you sideways trade.
 
FFS been thinking about Boak vs Lloyd ALL DAY. Before the round started, I was all on Lloyd but day by day I have swung towards Boak. I save around 50k with Boak and I think he goes higher this week. I see Laird is 130k cheaper than Lloyd....just ridiculous. I'm going to see if Laird does well without Milera and hopefully I can do without Lloyd and go Laird instead. I'm really hoping Lloyd goes under 100 this week (only had 1 ton against GWS in his career), then he will begin his price drops
I feel like you're doing this just so you can start next week's Round 7 trades thread with how you're planning to trade in Lloyd (again) :p
