Anyone know which team provides the best loop for the rest of the year off the top of your head?

Melbourne have 5 Sunday games, two Saturday night and a Friday night which can be used with Sydney vs Bulldogs the Thursday.

Hawks have 6 Sunday games, two Saturday 4:30ish starts and an early afternoon.

OK thanks, @randomcliche I appreciate your idea; I’ve pencilled out this alternative keeping Sheezel. It has the big advantage of getting full Premo by R16, saving a trade but slight downfall is only having 17 playing R15, as it would be Atkins down I doubt if I’d be losing too many points.
I’ll sleep on until teams are named and likely go with it.

R15: Stewart and Buller come in as above plus Cincotta > Mullin, Sheezel > D6, Atkins > Oliver via Coniglio
Leaves me 17 playing R15, including 12 Premos. $92k itb, 8 trades with 1 boost left.

R16: Johnson > 102k rookie, Mitchell > CDaniel; need Johnson & Mitchell to increase in value by ~$16k to get Daniel, I like the DPP flexibility between Sheezel and Daniel. Down to 6 trades with still 1 boost available.
Update R15: Mullin, Buller not named so best laid plans out the window and as it turns out neither was Oliver.
Dirth of Def Rookies so more expensive trades rule out a lot of premos for my Mid upgrade.
Cincotta > Melican, will give me future Def. bench cover.
Ford > Sheldrick, will move him to Mid bench next week, 🤞I’ve had poor bench cover for a while.
Atkins > NMartin, via Sheezel to D6
18 playing this Round

R16: SMitchell, MJohnson out one up one down for F6 & F7

Any love for Parish? Thinking W.Phillips to Parish, haven't seen any love for Darcy. Not his best year, coming off a calf too but think he might have a big finish to the year, decent price too.

Have been looking at him, too.
Multiple calf injuries in the last two years is the clear risk.
This week isn’t sensational buying in the MIDs, truth be told.
Tom Mitchell and Serong two other options.
Serong with a niggle of his own, Mitchell I guess you might argue could have a little scope for improvement vs the first half of the year, but he‘s also not going to keep racking up double figure tackles every week, it‘s unsustainable for him.

I am considering him and like his potential and draw coming up. The flipside is the injury risk, and with basically no trades and no bench it could mean donuts if he reinjures himself :unsure:

Does anyone see any meaningful difference between having Sheezel and Ziebell on the same line, versus opposite lines, in a completed team?

There’s obviously no loop opportunity.

Only the opportunity cost of an F5/D5 versus a 6th on the opposite line. Which is to say, no, not really!

Excellent, thanks Mike.

It’s actually for DT, where Darcy Cameron looks pretty good value to me, and provides handy cover given I have Briggs at R2 (vs R3 in SC) and am lower on trades.

Not so sure where the love comes for Cameron aside from DPP ruck coverage ... still looking at it ...

- next set of opponents ... ROB (useless), Witts, English, Darcy, Lycett ....
For transparency purposes I hate Cameron as a pick, I just hate Yeo more haha, unless hes your 23rd where I think his scoring potential justifies the injury risk.
Lol, my cash gen is so cooked that I had to take HH, DCam and Yeo as my 20th, 21st and 22nd players to finish my side :)
