Day vs S Mitchell trade out for a cash gen rookie
Mitchell.
Here’s a different one:
Windhager vs T Berry
Windhager named Foll, Berry named in FWD pocket. $22k difference in price!
Berry, but wouldn't want to rely on either getting games post byes (probably not even certain next week).
Maric vs Melican vs Robertson
Robertson probably the best scorer, worst JS, but I'd still pick him of the 3.

I'm treating Day as a keeper from here to the end or somewhere near the end, if I can afford to upgrade him then, I will, otherwise, he stays.
What will you do with Tom Green Next week for his Bye.

I'm already thinking a sideways to Neale next week.????

Yeah that's definitely an option, I'm hoping he delivers a decent score today so I don't feel like I have to do that. Already had a lot of injuries and sidewaysing. Just really thinking about making to the end now without running out of trades, still a long way to go.

Not really an X v Y, but that sounds like an upgrade, rather than a sideways trade on current form. Like it, if you can afford to do it.
Field:
Briggs (v Luke Jackson), or
English (v Goldy)?
We have this same conundrum (plus Marshall) in the combined team topic. Consensus is heading towards fielding Briggs, so I'll say that.

Looking at it again, I can do a bit of a merry-go-round with dpp trades and hold Sheezel for a week then make a call with full list of trade in options next week.
I'd leave Sheezel as one of the last upgrades personally, especially with no Hall. If you can hold him and still field 18 comfortably, I would.

Pretty grim options but it’s all I can really do given cash and trade situation.

Who would you rather for rest of the season
A. Laird + T. Thomas
B. Cripps/Mills + D. Cameron

Fyfe is F7/M9 cover, so can be used to loop.

I feel sick. I can’t in good conscience recommend Cripps (after re entering my never eva again list) or Thomas (flog rule). B.

It’s more than fair enough. Had nightmares and constant vomiting once I mapped out my options.
I would say A even though I would never in good conscience pick Thomas for his treatment of Women, but in regards to Footy, he has been in some very good form and Laird is Laird, a scoring machine.

Last midfield upgrade, Trac vs Serong vs Anderson?

I have trac rated the highest of the lot but likely to be paying overs for his production rest of season especially w/ Clarry back.

Serong would have been my pick if it wasn't for his ankle concern.

Anderson is the value pick here but don't have as much confidence in the scoring output compared to the others.

I still have Briggs / and Will Day as my R2 and D6 respectively, so the cash could come in handy there too...
