Hopper to Kelly? 130k in the bank
I started him. Already missed one game.

I think he's okay...will be thereabouts for top 8, but you do need to take the often mediocre scores with the premium ones. His variance is high. Which is fine for overall but not great for leagues, you smash one game and lose the next two.

Yep I find more often than not if Jelly does well, I win most of my H2H.
He's quite a POD in my leagues...

Hopper, Mills and Davey Jnr to Rowell, Cameron and Sharp. Really not happy with my team, but what can you do.

With 2 boosts to use, I'd be happy to use one this week.

Daicos the glaring need, Hopper the glaring out. So 1 rookie downgrade and Hopper up.

Probably Hopper/Hollands to Daicos/Drury (if named)
3rd trade is a big question mark. Any ideas?

Humphrey scored 117 with 67% TOG, imagine if he could push the TOG up to 75%!!

I do Like Sharp, he's playing a kind of Zorko role. Heat map shows good spread, but also noticed he was just on the outside of lots of contests and ball ups roving all over the ground. While the heatmap shows where he actually got a possession the eye could see that he was also many more times thereabouts if the ball flopped his way. It's good he played last round with Zorko back (although Zorko was subbed out, so potential danger sign for Sharp). Would luv to know how many km's Sharp covered.
When Rich comes back who goes out? Sharp would have to be at risk there, but even if he misses a game he's right on the fringe if Zorko or Rich etc get another twinge.

Drury is just cheap, can sit on the bench releases more funds than Humphrey and if he plays fine if not fine. He's thereabouts too.

I just like watching Rowell play, he busts his gut out and is really dedicated to the cause.

New rookies will keep on popping up, let's face it we're not even half way through the season and what a wild one it's turning out to be, but not a lot of great prospects have raised their hand for the coming few rounds so it's Sharp and Drury in this round...if I had a boost left then I would grab Rowell but feel I need to prioritize the rookies this round. Chandler and Mckenna out.

Just be careful on Redman, Ridley and Kelly were both out on the weekend.
That's true. Still he's averaging the same as docherty for 74k cheaper. Averging same as last year with a higher rate of kickins. He really wasn't part of my plans but suits my team. My last few trade-ins really depend on dpp changes (assume gawn / walsh) and maybe a luke ryan post bye. Not know. Hopefully i can trade sturt and Roberts for some rookies who play over byes.

You might have Steele to deal with this week also, I think getting Daicos in is a less glaring need than getting a decent R2 for yourself, you could maybe do that by going down from Hopper maybe to Humphrey?

I've got the Mills & Hopper debacle to deal with this week. At this stage I am thinking:

Hopper > M.Kennedy
Mills > Merrett

I haven't got any rookies ready to downgrade at the moment so I think this is probably the best of a bad lot of options.

Other mids I am tossing up istead of Merrett include Rowell, Brayshaw, Jelly, Laird.

Trying to bank some cash to allow myself to "finalize" my team over the byes. Looking like:
Out: Cowan, Hollands, Caminiti
In: Sharp, T Berry, Humphries

Not the most exciting week of trades I've ever done but it leaves me with over $400k in the bank and only 4 spots to upgrade when I can during the next few weeks.
