do I go Jacques–Nasiah and Blamires–Cumming or hold blamires if playing and move grjl? I prefer Grjl’s matchup this round and might play over farrow if i trade blamires.
Is Archie Roberts a must have or save some cash and get NWM? I want to get rid of Coleman ASAP out of my backline.
Definetely NWM. I think you mightve missed the boat with Roberts.
Happy to pay premium price, only issue for me is he legit.
On the AFL site Roy has Xerri down for 813,000. He’s actually over a million.
Hey guys looking at two options
Kerch> Clug
Dev Rob or grill to petracca/jhf
Kerch> Bont
Grill > Greene
Got a few on the 12 bye so not sure how else to avoid. Thanks
Petracca. Limited premium options up forward that are worth investing in over playing a rookie.
I’m not trading McKerxher when there’s rookies capable of scores 50s on field.
Up to top 1k, feeling good, it’s been a while 😅
Def upgrades the next 2 weeks for me. Was planning to go Nooman n NAS but have some kitty left over from Miers, so can now go NAS + whoever.
Have Whitfield already, and am iffy about 2 double barrel defenders. Can the Essendon lad be trusted? Am I overthinking the 2 guy from same.position/team? Thoughts?
Cheers
Doesn’t any one know about Luke Ryan’s position he is reasonably cheap for what he use to be L3 avg of 100 trading him out for mckercher, any help?
