[Membling]

Yeah spot on, still not touching him. Marshall and Witts all but locked in for me now

Honestly same at this point in time

R2 sucks something fierce.

 

[Gunf]

The question is will Prestia be right round 1 because i don't see TT scoring more than other options at his price if so sadly.

Will be the first year i don't have him if i don't pick him

So - do you risk Dusty ???

Saves around 150K and I can use that to upgrade some spuds !!

He’s clinging on by the skin of his teeth for me at the minute but despite warming into it late in that half he hasn’t really passed the eye test has he…

Big chance I swap him out for Rozee and pocket some cash.

 

[TedDougChris]

That's some quality metres gained there as well for Rioli !!

Oh wait, wrong Devito gif!!

Was thinking more along the lines of Cogs/Gulden/Rozee etc

Have the latter two, but not sure on Cogs to be honest...

 

[Gunf]

Also have Moore or could go someone cheaper ala Bruhn or the like and put the saved cash elsewhere. all depends on what you feel comfortable with.

Did enough today I thought. Role and scoring were there. 77 with 21 CBAS from only 60% time on ground did nothing to put me off. Hoping a few trade him out for Gulden because I’m still keen.

 

[tigs2010]

Think I’ll be keeping TT. Was great last week. Tough opponent, team struggling and probably still tons

Then keep the faith mate!

I love me TT but feel others are safer picks at this point may change my mind by round 1

Not yet - BE of 76 so you have a game or two to check if he's back for real.

 

[Shadow89]

Maybe you just pay up for Max, seeing as he can just rack up a score wherever he is. Monstering it today

 

[Phar Ace]

Definitely Gulden, though Mills back will reduce some of his numbers

 

[Gunf]

Umps having a mare in this game

 

[Gunf]

TT looking much better this quarter

 

[Zevon]

TT looking much better this quarter

Yep miles better. Still only one tackle as well; you would imagine he’d have a few more once the real stuff starts so there’s still upside there.

Seeing him getting open for cheap marks is the really nice thing, my worry was they’d dry up for him at Richmond.

 

[Coasters7]

Depends how you look at it though. He could be getting these sorts of matchups every week with Grundy in the side. Not a lot that can go with him in the air and even moreso if it’s the backup ruck or an undersized key defender. Could start getting much more of the ball while still getting 10-15 hitouts a game. Still very risky for his price but could still see him scoring plenty

 

[tigs2010]

No no no you guys trade Taranto out.

 

[kozi]

I’m going Darcy because I love switching rucks throughout the season.

That season you smashed the world record for ruck trades was a sight to behold

 

[tigs2010]

Starting Darcy and Roma gives me a chance at a rare PB

 

[Gunf]

And yet Tigs still managed to beat me overall that year

You don’t know what you’re doing though. Did you own Nick Bryan? No?

Well I rest my case
