Great insights.
I liked Lohmann and had my eye on last week but forgot to check if he was non sub. Had planned on getting him, however his run moving forward looks tough. His performance I think is a little variable based on opposition using short TOG games. Not ideal as alternative are probably 1 game rookies.
Consdiering Steele vs Martin, could argue both had reasonable match ups. Question is whether Martin can be D6, feels like we can have one value choice. Martin lower price and BE and non mid line does feel like he is more attractive. Steele as a top mid in the Saints line up suggest he will be top 8.
Mids trick, Petracca looks the good yet starts to fade often in 2H of season as his knee soreness builds. Butters has increasing competition this year from JHF and Wines back in mids. Think Bont, Libba, Green, Merrett and likely Steele own their roles/cba's. Serong hopefully more about playing Carlton.

I think trading Jackson is the play but you just have to nail the premium you take for him. I’ve pegged him as 90-95 with Darcy in the team, but last year he actually went at just 85.7 in those games (excluding the game Darcy was injured and subbed in the second).
Whitfield and Martin are the two I’m starting to lean towards as the replacement. I’d have Whitfield averaging slightly higher but the injury history plays a part. Whitfield is a renowned burnman in fantasy circles as he always happens to get injured when he is relevant. Martin has missed one game since his debut and that was due to Covid protocols.
Lohmann is a tough one because he’s an obvious sub candidate whether that be the starting sub or the one who gets subbed out. Difficult run coming up as you mentioned and he hasn’t excelled in the games he came on as sub. Have to remember the 88 was against North. Comben, Georgiades and Ramsden will all be on the bubble next week so there’s no rush to get a rookie forward.

As a new owner last round, I was very relieved to get that 'poor' 87 game from him considering he was on 20 at QT and underwent a concussion test during the QT break and only played about 5mins towards the end of the second QT. He did well to get through the game and scored what he did.
However, that incident has unfortunately reminded me that it won't be the last time that I'll be holding my breath on whether something has gone wrong with Whitfield.

Got 34 trades, i feel like im burning through them
At the moment thinking i want to get a few players such as Steele, Heeney etc
But im thinking hold Jordon and trade before his next game, that way i get an extra week to scope rookies AND choose someone else to drop (Clark on the watchlist at the moment)
Am i crazy for thinking this is a good idea?

NMartin is on my radar but getting him in means going early on 2 rookies (Clohesy/Graham) and culling a cow (Carroll) to facilitate it.
Comfortable with Cloe but very risky with Graham as I don’t know much about him. Culling Carroll not ideal but he could be impacted by Walsh’s return. NMartin will go to defense after dpp. Thoughts?
The other option would just be a simple Coff>Clohesy trade. Maybe a second one of Clark/Sexton>Lohman (if named and starts)
Option One
Howes - Cholsey
LDU - Martin
Jordan - JFH
Going Early on Cholsey, was a big green light in players to watch at the start of the year. Pure Wing role 70+ Average
LDU- Soooooo frustrated with this pick, as i went with a Butters LDU - against a Bont and Crouch combo. Keeps me awake at night with the points loss.
Jordan to - JFH just a 3 week cameo with my eyes on a straight swap to Oliver in a few weeks.
Leave my team looking like this for this week.
Next week cash in a rookie and upgrade one to Jordan Dawson has a great run after Carlton this week.
