Hey Rowsus,
Just a quick one...please. Sorry to be a pain.
How important do you think it is to have a link between def/fwd when I am now low on trades. (15)
Have been looking at MJ replacements and was looking at B. Smith as a cheaper option but have also looked at McGovern.
Was thinking MJ to McGovern, Clark to H.Goddard and CEY to Wines leaving approx. $100K cash to maybe use two more trades down/up for Miller the week after)
Is it too much of a risk bringing in H.Goddard and McGovern just to open up link?
If Mackenzie plays and I bring in Wines and B.Smith (two trades only) I end with 19 this week, 20 with McGovern after the three mentioned trades.
Any thoughts appreciated

If McKenzie isn't chopped off the extended bench, you have 17 players for the week.
I think it gives you two choices.
1) Wear the donut, it is only a Rookie donut, because if Amon was playing, you would have no donut.
2) CEY out, Saad up, and take your pick of: McGovern, H Taylor, Enright.
I wouldn't lock in the trades for the next 2 weeks just yet. Unless you are dead keen to use 3 trades next week, and you want the cash ready to do it, then you need to go Saad to A Pearce this week to be ready. You'd really need to choose out of Cripps and Saad, so I went the Saad option.

Hi Bobbie,
ask as many questions as you want, and make them as long and as complicated as you want.
Interestingly, your score last week was exactly what you were averaging coming into last week! (I find it interesting, anyway!
)
I like the idea of a cash grab this week, to facilitate trading in the next two weeks. Even though it is contra-indicated, and a bit risky, I think I'd rather bring in Hamling instead of Boston, just because of the Rnd 11 vs Rnd 12 factor. Also, CEY makes you more cash in the trade, and it is probable that McIntosh makes more money by playing next week than CEY does. Using CEY complicates your M/D DPP a little, but if you want to maximise your cash flow, he's better. I'm not sure the small difference in money made in cash flow is worth the complication though.

Hi Rowsus, what a turd of a result for you last week - I feel for ya bro! Glad you're making money though.
I'm in a similar boat to you - LTIs and some dubious coaching decisions have left me struggling to afford a team full of decent premos - heading into the byes needing 6 premos (2 def, 4 mid) and that includes keeping Newnes. I'm thinking of going for broke over the byes - here's the plan:
RF 11: Out - Johnson, CEY and Cripps / In - Smith, Wines and Lambert
RD12: Out - Saad and Oxley / In - Beams and Hamling (switching Adamson to def)
Rd13: Out - Clark, Sheed and Hogan / In - Hanners, Sloane and Fantasia (switching Lambert to Fwd)
This would leave me with approx $125k (on today's values), 6 trades, one more Def premium to get and a no decent bench coverage (def - Adamson/Lever/Hamling, mid - Amon, Glenn and McKenzie, fwd - Lambert and Fantasia). Hopefully I'll get an opportunity to move Lambert to the mids at some stage to create the swing.
I suspect I will end up just getting fat on donuts due to a lack of trades but I'd appreciate your thoughts on the above - whilst I think I may as well go for broke I don't want to drag my leagues down by being reckless with trades or end up with a totally catastrophic rank!

I like it. As much as we are struggling, we still need a bit of positivity/aggression in our trading. With 6 trades, and $125k, and a bit of good management, I can't see you eating too many donuts.
I hope it runs well for you. Let me know how it works out.
TBO,
forgetting Mackie, you are considering the same 3 as me. Smith will come in next week, or the week after.
I'm leaning towards McG, but it's not an easy decision. The usual rule is History over Potential, and certainly the other 2 have the history, particularly Enright. McG might get the nod with his M/F status, and I might bring in H Goddard down the track to complete the set.

Hey MrM,
I like your reasoning, but I think he will likely throw in two or three lowish scores, that will prevent him getting a 110+ average from here, and he's currently priced at close to 110 anyway. He's a great draft player, and I've had him the past couple of years, but I think he's just below the SC pass mark...... this year, anyway.

Hey Slammer,
it's not absolutely crucial, but I am leaning that way myself. You probably want a pretty reliable (to get on the park pretty consistently) D7 or 8 if you do it, otherwise you may lack the opportunities to use it properly. To that aim, I will probably hold Brown at D8. Even though he is only good for 50 points, if I get desperate, and need to swing McG Fwd, at least I know I have some Def cover here. It can also present some loopholing opportunities, if we are Lucky enough to have bench cover from here! Smith has Hawthorn in Rnd 12, so I might even leave hin until Rnd 13, when he should of well and truly bottomed out in price.

How about getting greedy and doing two downgrades using both CEY and McIntosh? I could grab Hamling and either Boston or Kavanagh - not sure who to choose?
Also, is it crazy to do an upgrade this week? Tempted to offload Clark but the only decent options are Buddy or McG. Probably smarter to wait until after round 12?

Hi Rowsus,
Although I was expecting to have at least 20 players this week, teams selections haven't gone according to plan and have left me with 2 donuts. Tossing up between three options:
1. CEY > Boston/ Kav (whoever isn't sub) and McIntosh > McGovern
2. CEY > Boston/ Kav and Bellchambers > Harvey
3. CEY > Boston/ Kav and Krak > Harvey
The first option is the classic one up one down but unsure if McGovern is worthy? But it does help me with a R13 defender.
The second option loses that Ruck cover which I really wanted to avoid a donut for when a ruck misses a game (but bellchambers has failed me...)
The third option forces me to pick out of Boston and Kav before subs are known. Also with Harvey, I see that his last three scores against Sydney are 57, 46, 63.
Your thoughts are much appreciated.

The Suns have made three changes to the side that fell to Sydney last week with Charlie Dixon, Jack Leslie and Nick Malceski coming into the side at the expense of injured trio Steve May (groin), Greg Broughton (Achilles) and Keegan Brooksby (calf).
Brooksby injured his calf at training yesterday and was replaced by Malceski who will be the sub for the Suns.
That's where I got it from. Is it believable?
