Port fans are still holding on to the dreamHe is still the most selected Port player. Still in 17% of teams
If you start without Goldstein, do you go with a Z Smith/Grundy at R2 and look to upgrade to Goldy later or do you start with a set and forget combo i.e Martin/Naitanui and hope Goldy doesn't hurt you too much over the course of the season?
Yes they did and it's a very valid argument. I just disagree with it, at least once this year Goldy will chuck in a sub 90 game and that is your window to get him in. The problem is who to run with in the meantime, and I suspect that headache is what driving everyone to a set and forget strategy.
The problem of not starting Goldy is that even if he has a poor game and drops $100k you still have to find $600k to bring him in.Yes they did and it's a very valid argument.

A pair of rookies won't make you that much money so you will have to trade out at least one premium. That means you are effectively sideways trading.
The other problem is that you may not be able to trade for him when he is at his cheapest because you are forced into injury trades that week.
There have been many weeks in my SC 'career' when I have had to miss players because I was already committed/forced into two other trades on that particular week.
I'm taking Martin and Naitanui. Have had goldy every year for past 3 years however too expensive this year. Furthermore I recall a stat that the only person to ever back up a 130 average in SuperCoach history is G.Ablett. History is not on Goldy's side this year.
History says the only bloke in recent times to finish top 2 in the ruck averages 2 years in a row is Cox. Both Goldy and Martin would need to do that...
Goldy I think will. I don't think Martin can (in SC anyway).
so you will wai all season for him to throw a sub 90 game and then try and rearrange youor team just to get him in. Not worth it IMOYes they did and it's a very valid argument.

You will have too many other problems at the time to even consider this ...at least once this year Goldy will chuck in a sub 90 game and that is your window to get him in
