bro hugo garcia sold me top 1000
Perryman and taylor to freijah and lindsey with 450k left or taylor and leake to trainor and lindsey
whats the go you reckon
second, perryman may come good, we saw his potential in OR 1 bad game shouldn’t mean we all get rid of him when there are better options
Thoughts on Hastie out for L. Ashcroft in? And, Perryman out for SDK in? Leaving Lachie Ash still in my side, hopefully bouncing back in r3? Or should I leave Perryman out and ditch Ash
davidson or hall on field for this week
I’m not sure of the Lindsey hype. Yes, he has a great breakeven, but the Dees played 6 first gamers, is he going to be starved of opportunity once the going gets real, what if he gets subbed out on a rubbish score and the biggest question – did anyone even hear of him in the preseason? (besides the Range Rover driving, Mount Hotham holiday makers).
