Miller - bad team although slapsie runs dont matter. Unlikely to go big but possibly consistent enough high 30s avg. Run of games to come isnt the worst for junk time tbs

Walsh - was going to be my first picked if not for injury. Huge year for him imo. That may or may not translate to fantasy though and without kick metres or goal kicking he can still have a great game and score 35 due to the style of footballer he is.

Cheese does feel one of those we toss away and regret it at the end of the season. I guess it comes down to cash vs trades vs number of other fires.

I have never seen the attraction of bench mids as cash cows, they are very slow burns usually.

Much better to go for the Carty/Preston/Chee Kam's of the game no? More likely to get some additional attacking stats I would presume.

That being said I did not listen to my own advice and am stuck with F Pele

I doubt he does but seeing as he’s named I’ll hold him for now, definitely on the chopping block when his bye round comes (think it’s 5 from memory)

Mainly looking at Holmes v Bird.

Holmes with back to back 42s. The goals adding to his floor and has only had 1 TA as his attacking stats and he is playing 80 minute.

Bird on the other hand had to go a 1.1 ppm due to his limited minutes. Probably has the higher upside but it also seems like he could put up 30 in 50 minutes.

TU: Holmes
TD: Bird

I think he can still average 40 odd from here. Really didn't handle the strong wind well at the weekend.

Tossing up the exact same decision myself, for the same reasons too. The extra $100k will be very useful next week.

First two games I've kept an eye on Miller and he's made me nervous not owning him just because of his slapsies. He'll go large at some point - 43 & 32 with no tries, assists or even offloads...

I'm on the fence.

My other issue is, to get walsh, it has to be Boyd to go.

To get Miller, i can punt CNK.

Would prefer to keep Boyd even though Ive got no confidence in him.
