Thinking of pulling the trigger on 3 trades this week to address my defense, especially as I'm still holding Gibcus / Coffield / Reid 
.
Option 1
Gibcus > Brown
Jordon > Darcy
Fyfe > Miller or Steele
Feeling like Brown has good JS and upside with so many Tiger injuries, plus liking his DE. This also lets me upgrade to another Premo (giving me 13 in total at Rd 4), but slightly nervous that Jordon and/or Fyfe still have a few $k to make. This fixes the bye issue with Jordon next week though.
Option 2
Gibcus > Brown
Fyfe or Jordon > Darcy
Coffield > Bramble or Keane
Toss of a coin between Fyfe and Jordon for the cash generation, but Fyfe higher BE so closer to topping out maybe. Coffield to Bramble lets me have at least one playing defender on the bench, Bramble looks solid, but not a huge fan of MPs, maybe better value with Keane (BE -17 and 118 score last round that hopefully generate more cash) - small chance that Bramble becomes D6 or is that silly talk?
Simpler option is just the two trades to bring in Brown and Darcy, build the war chest and save a trade for the bye round next week...
God I hate this game...

Coffield -> Draper
Jordon -> Darcy
LOCKED
Then either:
Windsor -> H.Thomas (start cash gen and give me 480k in the bank and then go for upgrades next week).
or
Windsor -> T.Green (closes Mid/Fwd loop for time being, gives me only 2 forward premos (Heeney, Flanders) and 6 forward rookies (Reid, Dempsey, Sexton, Cadman, Wilson, Darcy).
Would ideally be looking to upgrade those to a forward when one presents themselves but would also mean Carroll, Sharp and Clark on mid bench which is a lot of solid rookies.
Thinking I take the upgrade when I can as Tom Green looks like a genuine 700k player and lost points every week not having him. But Harvey Thomas having a 107 in his rotation this week (BE -52) and next week could honestly see him make 125k+ very quickly.
Big conundrum.

As long as Dawson passes the eye test, you're fine.
Young had 18 clangers over his first two games, so I kneejerk traded him. It may work out over the long run, but when you are getting 27 touches with a bunch of clangers, you're bound to fix it eventually. Especially for a guy with premium scoring history.

I was surprised (dismayed) when we picked him up at the Dogs… at the start of the season I would have lol at the thought of him in my SC team, but you have to go with what you see.
He looked very good in the praccy match and now 3 straight top-flight matches and scores.
At this stage, D6 is a realistic proposition
Great to have some Gold Coast insights, thanks @Dark Horses!
