If I had $150K I could get gawn, if you are wondering what to do with it welllllll.

Brought in Gawn this week for Pittonet and gave Rozee the boot for Will Day. Gives me coverage on my bench with Hill/Starcevich. No doubt now that I've got Gawn he'll stop with these ridiculous 150+ scores.

Bought in Macrae and VC’d him, best move all year. Looks like a lot bought him in this week despite not much chat on podcasts etc

I was wary of Macrae purely because it feels like this isn't the year to be able to afford any sideways trading, and when Dunkley is back, Macrae may go back onto the wing where he scored badly early in the season...

So I went with the tactic of only having 1 of Gawn and Grundy, thinking I'd get the other later and cheaper. Picked the wrong one, clearly.
Think Pittonet to Gawn has to be done though.

The 2nd move though... I was going to go Rowell to Dangerfield. But forgot the Suns played early.
However also considered Sam Simpson's job security looks great and even though I missed him on the bubble, I still think he'll be a must-have midfield cover for the run-in (I can't see any other rookies like that coming through next few weeks).
Is it better to upgrade and risk no depth, or get the cheap depth when it's there given it'll cost more in future?

But now Hill being out injured...I'd been relying on him as D6. I wouldn't even know which defender to bring in - even the premos this year, Hurn has a run of games at home now, but do I want to be relying on him during the final 4-5 weeks living in a QLD hub again given how bad the Eagles were before?

Perhaps I need to give Pittonet another week...

Pretty even for mine and Ryan has the bye in Rd10.....depends on your team/price structure, but Doedee if I had to choose.

Not explicitly, but the AFL did say that as much as possible Vic clubs would play Home games in QLD. Its to do with sponsor exposure.
So St Kilda for example still get to play half their schedule as home games, just most will now be at the Gabba. They'll have played 8 'away' fixtures by end of round 12. So they get to be designated home side with their sponsor exposure in at least 3 of those remaining games.

So I can't see why they would be made to fly to WA to play Eagles in a 'home' game - surely Eagles have to fly to QLD - and if so, may as well stay a week or two and play at least one other club. I think that's the general understanding for the WA clubs that they'd "mini-hub" again at season-end, whereas SA clubs seem to be fly-in, fly-out from here on.

Everything I do this year seems to go wrong, but personally I've been burned by Ryan too often. Scores big, but has potential to go off the boil too. I don't watch enough Freo games to know why.

Doedee on the other hand, voted captain by his peers, I watched him against the Saints last week and honestly he could be AA, he was great just the rest of them were dire. You know the footy is going inside their 50 a ton...

Carlton will hand Callum Moore his debut for the club against North Melbourne on Saturday afternoon after gun forward Harry McKay was withdrawn due to injury.
$186,800 FWD if anyone is interested.
