2 Blues out, 2 Roos in.

OUT: Cowan, Cincotta
IN: Ford, Wardlaw

If no selection surprises then 19 for the round unless Sicily can get his ban overturned which will make 20.

Not counting guys like Chesser or Constable as part of my available players.
If Cincotta returns for the Blues, will you hold him? Who would be your alternative out if so?

Making the most money to end up with the best final side possible should be the focus just as much as having points on the ground, dont see any other candidates that could quite easily make 100-150K in 3 weeks, with Teakle there as virtually a straight swap who is essentially dead weight it feels a pretty easy trade to make to me but really comes down to how secure in the side you feel Briggs is (I'm more bullish on him than most as Flynn had a super game in the VFL and still wasn't brought back into the side should get an extended run at it as they seem to want to back him in, earnt his spot with good form and has now played well twice).

Think the Swans either drop McAndrew to play one of their forwards as a second Ruck or even draft a Ruckman in the MSD, either way think his chances of holding his spot is pretty low.
Agree with all this Shaun. Flynn had another good game, Madden didnt do much. Saw Preuss has TBC, assume that is rolling issue.

I thInks Briggs comes down to trades vs cash gen.

I have $600k across Esava Teackle and SMitchell to spend post downgrading, which drives Worpel Ashcroft and Atkins upgrades into potn Macrae Sicily and Andy Brayshaw. Not great for byes though.

Leave me one premium spot with Johnson Ford Wardlaw Osin Cincotta to deliver the outcome. Limited trades though so dont need Briggs for that reason but can see the appeal. Good luck with it.

Liked your warnings on Wardlaw, not well known.

Any avenue to make money is going to require using 2 trades so that aspect of the Briggs pick doesnt really worry me, most concerned about Flynn just coming back in too early really, didnt think he did a great deal worthy to get dropped in the first place and he absolutely smashed Campbell and Heath in the VFL pre bye.

Dont think I have the funds for the players I want without looking for an avenue to generate more quick cash and Briggs feels the best bet of the bunch we have available.

Going to have to risk being low on trades post bye, reality of what happens when you trade aggressively to get to a good position in the first place, couple mistakes along the way certainly hasnt helped my cause though.

Are footywires BEs broken this week. Seems a disproportionate number of 0s, and some of them are 0% likelihood of achieving BE (see Brayshaw)

It's showing all the bye players with a 0 b/e. SuperCoach is doing it
It is weird what they have done. Zero BE and zero percentage of achieving. SCPlua has actual BE’s.

I agree it's strange, I've got SuperCoach Plus & the field team page doesn't show it, it does show up under List where you can see the next 3 rounds
Yes, I should have been clear, click on player info and it gives you BE over remainder games based on project score. With SCplus.

BE is zero on team page for bye players.

What's the view on Ridley's improved scoring in the last two weeks? Sustainable or something of a fluke?

Feels positive that he can do it against WCE in a game they dominated... can typically be when the backs struggle.

I am 1 x very annoyed former owner who sold when he got concussed. Would much rather have him in my team now over Day.
