@stephen @Diabolical @Seedsman @blue dreamer thank you all for your thoughts - really appreciate it.
Had a hectic day at work and haven’t been able to think straight. I think I’m just going to avoid the trade button.

It hurts me as a Tiger supporter but i wish i could trade out Dusty too, i had doubts in selecting him, but he was flying pre-season, over his injuries and niggles he had last year, was mentally refreshed and thought he'd get back to his best, his price was just too tempting also. Looks like we may have been burnt.

I’m concerned about what moves I’m gonna make nearly traded in A.Smith for Pierce in RDT 
I have Collins and took a punt on Hanley!
But I would hate to look back in 6 weeks time and see they made $100k. Plus they are both still warm bodies sooooo...…………...… I probably do nothing.

Any thoughts on Butters-Scott to get the bankroll going for next week?
Currently have $100 bank which is not ideal. The above would get me to $41k for a likely Dusty tradeout next week. Bont is at the top of my list, but I don't have enough funds.
I worry a little about my weak backline, although I can swing Moore back to help out. Current side with no trades;
Whitfield, Williams, Clark, Collins, Scrimshaw, Duursma (Hore, Burgess)
Fyfe, Cripps, Neale, Oliver, Dusty, Mouch, Walsh, Constable (Butters, Atkins, Gibbons)
Grundy, Gawn (Bines)
Danger, Heeney, Billings, Moore, Setterfield, Drew (Parker, Petrucelle)

Need to get rid of Greene this week, but am 8k short of Worpel...
Collins will have to make way as I think the role + concussion just isn't worth it, but can't decide between the few defensive rookies... Wilkie, Duursma, and Scrimshaw stand out, but still seem a bit

I’ve got Greene as well but fall short of Worpel/Newman so would need to cull a rookie early to generate some cash, which is not ideal.
Butters to Drew allows me to grab Rocky which could be fun but moving Butters on probably means he becomes a rookie correction next week..lol
Otherwise I could hope Parker scores something decent as cover, with limited Greene replacement options if he really stinks if up.
To me, I think it's probably a 50/50 call, I have Duursma, but not Willie, but am considering going Ridley to Wikie this week, to facilitate Jacbs to Grundy next week.
For me it's Willie v Scrimshaw, not sure who has the better JS of those two...
I would prbby be leaning towards Willie just.
Good luck!

In exactly the same position it seems...
Done nothing yet as I think I'll go Greene to Worpel, with Collins to Wilkie to facilitate the cash. Will wait until teams this afternoon for Wilkie just to be safe. Feels bad though as I worry all rookies have worse security than Collins (obviously), and I have no idea which will score best. I'm genuinely just guessing at this point...
I'd loop Parker if you can - I mean, why not? But getting Rocky in for Greene sounds pretty appetising to me!! But that could just be because I have no swings in the midfield and have no way to get Rocky in myself
