Buckley may be a shit coach but Mitchell had 64 disposals in the NEAFL once and Longmire still treated him like a dog. There's something incredibly unassuming about him as a player. If he moved with more flash maybe he'd get more attention but I'm happy for coaches everywhere to continue underestimating him (head coaches and supercoaches). His knack for getting his hands on the ball is unparalleled right now.
Somehow always gets a handball away no matter what.

His impact is not great though. Every time he gets it the same thing happens - instant short kick, instant handball or long kick to contest. If he could run fast as well it would be a different question.

Doesn't even need that, Pendles often zig zags around a player and creates a huge amount of time/space for himself to find the right option - 3 steps!

This is the question I've been agonising over. Kelly will be replacing him, but the question is "which Kelly". My options are to switch him to Josh Kelly for the week and trade him back in when he's selected, or to save a trade, sit him on the bench and take Tim Kelly's score. The extra points are likely to be somewhere between 40 and 90. Is even 90 points worth losing a trade? Probably not.

Edit: In replying to your question I reckon I've answered my own. Danger on the pine, Tim Kelly with the responsibility to score well.
Stick with Tim Kelly. I’m doing the same.
Danger better repay us next week

Yeah Pendles has an elite field kick as well, all of Mitchell's field kicks are up and unders

I think you have answered mine aswell. Tim Kelly to go 80-100 hopefully, no trades wasted next week =

Wow. To facilitate having Danger on the bench, I had to go McGovern > Lloyd, Buddy > Heeney, then I traded Selwood back up to Danger.

Remaining cash? $0. LOL

Idk if I should do this tbh
I'm not sure you should either. My situation was different as I never removed Danger when he got injured so I haven't needed to restructure my planned team to keep him.

This game tends to punish last minute changes.

The are really only two risks with keeping danger.
1 - what if he misses next week as well?
2 - what if he plays next weeks and his hammy goes ping 5 mins in?

not even this guy can save you if one of those happens - :moustache:
