Fair points. Please note however that Heeney scored 75 in his first game back and then 107 over the weekend.
Yes, you are right sorry I left out the second game in my post, not intentionally to make a point. Still reckon for mine I'd want to see more and am prepared to pay more as a result without letting it turn into Zach Merrett of last year.

I have had glandular fever and experienced it after effects, I won't be trading in Heeney...

Your points re Heeney's fitness are all still very valid, regardless of his score on the weekend. I had been hoping that his projected price rise would be higher, but it is quite moderate and so there seems to be opportunity to "wait and see" how he goes.

Hmm, if I don't trade I have 3 rookies on field in my forward line. Still not sold / convinced on what premium to bring in though.

Yeah I'm with you on that one mate, much like Chronic fatigue and Ross River virus, glandular fever can knock you around for months, even years in some cases. He'd need to show some outrageous form for me to even consider him.

Very rough week with Nank suspended and no ruck cover. Wanted to get Simpson in this week with his price to skyrocket, but will likely have to trade Houston out to a ruck, and swing Nank forward. Doubly annoying because most of the rucks still have a bit further to drop in price.

Fingers crossed Hannan is named again.

Inefficient but kicked 3 goals 1, regardless of the situation anyone who kicks 3 goals in a game shouldn't be dropped.

With Nankervis getting a week, i think i will need to pull the trigger on Witts. My plan was always to trade Witts before his bye, so now seems the right time if Preuss gets named.

Witts > Oliver/Yeo or i can go for a top tier premium in Bont/Selwood.
Matera > Black/Parsons.

Going the 2 highest priced options (Selwood and Black) leaves me with over 360k still in the bank.

Anyone have thoughts/options for my linked team?

My Team stands as it is, (122k in bank) - 6 trades made.

Docherty, Laird, Adams, Otten, Marchbank, Newman (Hampton, Stewart)
Pendlebury, Selwood, Dangerfield, Duncan, T.Mitchell, Fyfe, Beams, SPP (Barrett, Pickett, Hibberd)
S.Martin, Sandilands (Preuss)
Dahlhaus, Macrae, Steele, WHE, Houston, Balic (Hannan, Eddy)
Missed the Nank and Greene carnage. Thinking of going either:

1. Pickett/Hampton to EVW/Parsons (or Black) (344k)
2. Pickett/Otten to EVW/Yeo (24k)
3. Houston/Hampton to EVW/Yeo (61k)

Any other suggestions would be grateful.

Tbh I think I might just cop a donut for Nank... but atleast Nank, Stefan, Strnadica and Cameron all play late so I can decide how my week is going and if I should trade

Witts to Bont and Matera to Parsons looks good. I wouldn't take Oliver or Black. If Preuss isn't named you could get rid of him this week and Witts next week. With Goldy up and running I can't see Preuss going much above 60 anymore. If Parsons comes straight in after his supension it would be a pretty strong sign that he is well liked at Geelong.

Fellas, I reckon I'm in a bit of a pickle. 28k in the bank.

Doch, Adams, Laird, Otten, MB, Newman (Hampton, Stewart)
Danger, JPK, Selwood, Pendles, Fyfe, Bont, Beams, SPP (Florent, Barrett, Deluca)
Nank, Sandi (Strn)
Dahl, Macrae, Higgins, Butler, Balic, Parfitt (Pickett, Eddy)

Think I have to bring in a premium ruck this week in order to cover Nank (and just in general beef my team up. However, I have 2 issues. A) I need one of Florent, Eddy or Pickett to play to cover him. B) who do I bring in? I'm basically stuffed I reckon, unless I think of something nifty. I think Cox gets dropped this week, so Grundy comes in, but it's kinda pointless if Florent/Eddy/Pickett doesn't get named. I do have to trade in a premium ruck to cover nank this week which sucks.

Parfitt and Otten to EVW and Grundy leaves me with about 3k left, but in a good position overall. Thoughts? Will leave me with 20 trades and 6 rookies on field.

I think he gets one more game, and JKH will get dropped for Hogan to come back.
If Hannan plays to true to form, he will be dropped again in Round 8, but you should have him Round 7.

do you think being left with 6 or 7 trades and an almost complete team (if injuries, suspensions considering) at the end of the byes is sufficient (within reason) for the remainder of the season?

McCluggage out, sub Adams to Mids and bring in McNiece.

Butler out, sub nank to Fwd and bring in Mumford.

Greene and Nank move to bench and rookies cover.

Means I miss out on Black, Parsons and EVW but can't catch all the Pokemon!

Really hard to know whether to go 2 down or 1 up/down.
Current going Parfitt -> JJK and Macreadie -> EVW but means I will miss Parsons/Black.

Did a double down last week so have to upgrade eventually but rookies are looking thin after this week. How long should one ride around with 400k+ in the bank not earning any points?

Depending on how "almost complete" your team is, sure, why not?!
