Wouldn't be buying Crichton now after making 300k & not playing 4/8 games if selected in origin, in fact I’m selling. Hynes yes, but that’s 1 player, and solely due to captaincy choice.
He plays all 3 major bye rounds, has a dpp centre/edge which is extremely valuable with these injuries & suits my team to a tee. If Crichton makes origin, he’s in my edges. If not, he’ll go to centre & I can move strange to halves to cover for hynes if he makes origin. DPP are very, very helpful.
I’m not getting anyone, and keeping pap on my bench. I’m not going to trade for the sake of trading. The options available: Bateman, Plath, Sua, nikora, brailey - none are obvious buys for me. I can play 17, and in fact loop 3 players.
So I’m going to likely bank 3 trades, and when things get...
Absolutely no to taafe. If you have to buy a shit player for 13, then don’t. There 20 points that round (if that), isn’t worth the trade. You don’t HAVE TO play 13, I’m likely not. It’s 27 rounds.
