      Tomlinson out replaced by Dawson Simpson - Dogs unchanged

      Hopefully any ORFF* coaches that have Simpson can slot him in if needed.

      Avoid Franklin this week. Brought him in as a POD as he's always done well against Freo, which means he'll spud it now.

      Hmmm, this a problem I'm assuming many will have, so I thought I'd ask it on behalf of all of them. Sudden death semi final, VC Kelly has racked up 132 which would normally be a no-brainer to take, but Danger is back and coming off a week's rest. What to do??

      Might need some thumbs help here ...
      TU: Take Kelly, it's points in the bank and who knows what will happen at the Cattery
      TD: Danger's averaging 150 over the past 5 and is fresh as a daisy, he'll smash 132 - gotta have the C on him!

      Thanks peoples!

      Hey @bosco Im having a bit of a change of heart about this.
      Now that Im fairly set on a trade, i feel as though even if Eddy, Bolton or Strnadica were named to play, I would probably go all-in and use my last trade anyway.

      It's not necessarily the smartest decision, because you might only gain minimal points each week, whereas covering a donut, you would gain maybe 100 pts in 1 week, but I reckon we might as well throw caution to the wind in our positions! Go for broke and see what happens. Cant die wondering! What other one-liner motos are there for this type of decision? hahahah

      This is the exact reason why its best to VC Danger whenever possible. If you are questioning whether to take a 132 then there wouldnt be many times youd accept a VC over Danger.

      I only realised very late that i needed to have a VC playing last night due to my donuts all playing early in the round

      Unfortunately the Bont didn't smash it out of the park

      I wil put the C on Danger and hope he goes 130 plus so I don't lose points to SF opponents.

      Gotta risk it to win the biscuit? take the plunge....bite the bullet? More I'm sure.

      Yeah....that was certainly my thinking. I guess I think more chance of moving up by using last trade than hanging off for something that may not eventuate. I s'pose I'd rather end up position 200-500 and have had a crack, rather than possibly hovering where I am.

      So, here's to zork punching out a 200 this week ;)

      Fairly average start with dahl and macrae to say the least :thumbsd:

      Ballsy trade and on 155 with 15 to play, might decide a few close matches this week.

      Ryan, Newman and Neale might decide them for the opposite reasons.

      I reversed my trades twice in the last hour before the first game yesterday. turns out that the 2nd time, I forgot to set up my captain properly. I remember setting it up after the 1st time I reversed trades, but must've forgotten after the 2nd time because Im stuck with Dusty Martin as captain, and Danger as VC in the same game. Stupid mistake :(

      Currently Danger is doing better than Dusty with a quarter to go. I'll be watching the last quarter hoping Dusty comes out on top!

      Hahaha, nice one Buddy. Glad to have had at least one stroke of genius this season. My worst by far for a few seasons.
