So really want to trade out Robbie Gray, but with the Butters downgrade this round, I can manage a sneaky upgrade of Ridley/Clark to Ross/Oliver. Possibly JKelly/Zerrett depending on cash.

380k odd for darling. Doesn’t leave a lot of options this week and TKelly is a week off before bottoming.

Or is he just a bench loop now

Assess Andrews injury.
Darling is a bench loop, barely worth trading now.

Gonna go full madness:
Neale+J Clark -> Cogs+Laird

Might only cost 100k.

Yeah, I'm looking at Neale out at as well. Cogs and Oliver are in a possible list of targets.

Darling & Gray may as well stay so hopefully won't have to trade , just need to be patient with the good rookies and hope the bad ones at least continue playing and make some $$$.

Telly can wait until after the Hutchings tag.

If I was to head down this path, I would look at more POD players who're currently performing. Both Cogs (20%) & Laird (35%) have been underwhelming so far, so you're hoping for a bounce back in form.

Bont (7%), Zerrett (4%), Hurn (9%) and Stewart (4%) for examples are the 'form' players who are all currently at less than 10% ownership. They would the typical player's traits I would look for if planning such a move.

Probably can't make enough cash from Neale down to Bont but appreciate the suggestion (got Zerret this week). Stewart and Hurn are definitely worth a look but might be paying overs, where as I'm pretty happy Laird will be around 100 from here. Will analyse a bit further - maybe Tim Kelly comes in instead for a good price.

My POD choices so far have all been negative: Dunkley, Darling, Andrews, Crisp (not to bad after a good score this week). So I'm almost better sticking with 'safe' picks haha!

Am I reading this right?
So I think he's over-priced. In today's midfield terms he's basically a midget which I'm not overly a fan of in terms of SC midfield scoring. He scored well when he wasn't the "man" at Freo and has done well early this season but I think we've seen the Lions exposed quite a bit in recent weeks. I feel in future matchups opposition coaches will really key in on him to shut the Lions down. He's also at the very top of his price cycle.

I picked him originally because I thought he was a POD.

I traded out Gawn this week but still want to have ancillary exposure to his dominance via Oliver who is plummeting into "buy" territory. A guy like Oliver is probably someone I prefer over the long term because he's much more in line with my view of "dominant" SC scoring mids (Cripps, Danger, Fyfe etc) ie he's a giant comparatively.

Also I want as much exposure to GWS as I can, after watching this early part of the season for me they're the creme de la creme team of the comp, even accounting for their injury affected pummeling at the hands of the Weagles. So this will help me fund some of the GWS buys I want to make over coming rounds.

Just a minor detail but iirc his avg increased slightly when he was ‘the man’ at Freo.

Well its not minor, but I'm not sure opposition coaches really keyed in on him. It was more like "whew!, Fyfe is out! We've got an easy time of it this week". They weren't really looking at shutting him down in other words. That will not be the case going forward at the Lions.
