Keeping him but think I might be a minority holder ...
Rationale: Albeit he hasn't shown a lot yet , I always was of the belief he wouldn't last 6 straight games without a rest anyway ... DPP with Drew and loophole option until I can find someone better ... don't really see any downside unless Gibbo has taken his role ... can deal with that later though if need be ... a few weeks rest and watching his side grab a win might reset the fire though ...
- Possible downgrades are Hately / Hayes but need to see another game from both .... attempting to get in the rookie downgrades that I actually set out to get rather than whatever is bobbing up ...
- Passed on Stack and might on Ross too ... a few players starting to come back in and not sure how long they will last .... passed on Higgo last year though which in hindsight was a mistake ... so that sort of mutes my comments somewhat ..

Deciding to keep Andrews, as his injury is listed as 1-2 weeks. Hope he can be a better POD when he gets back.
Pretty sure on the below trades, to avoid another back-line scoring fiasco of 4 rookies.
Collins> Laird (first upgrade of the season, yay!)
Parker > Baker
$300 left
With Milera out for 4-8 weeks (according to AFL Injury update), I reckon Laird is a sure thing to get his average back up to 105.
Baker seems to be scoring well and will make money.
Will be targetting a Butters > Hately trade next week, and possibly another double-downgrade if it looks good.

sorta does cause atm im running quite weak at m7 and 8 rookies (not counting Walsh) i have Atkins, Gibbons, (Constable, Setterfield, Scott) i will have to wait till next week to probably aim for a mid prem cause i need to build up the war chest.
good points here I too passed on Stack and also might pass up Ross after seeing Lockhart named in and am consider him instead just the matter of who goes out for me atm Burgess, Scott, Setterfield, Parker are on the pine, leaning towards Parker and Scott cause i dont wanna lose that dpp link i have with my d/f and m/f

Really keen to make some upgrades but I'm going to be patient and possibly even double downgrade this week and next. Looking at Baker/Lockhart this round. Then Hately/Hayes if they look the goods next week. Neale/Macrae/Lloyd had slightly down ish games so I guess I will look to target them in R8 with a double upgrade. Hind might be named this round with Geary out, so he might slightly mess up the plans.
Otherwise, the plan was to get Oliver this week. Looking at my side, all that really does is bring Oliver onto the field instead of Drew/Constable - I would be very annoyed if Oliver had another 80 odd and Drew/Constable matched it!

yep, there's always a risk. but i don't think it's high tbh.
graham seriously needed a run in the 2's, and i don't think just for a week or two. he has been a bit lost this year. ross has a high TOG for a first year player, scratch that he has high TOG for a seasoned player, i can see him staying in til cotchin is ready. we have been lacking a bit in the midfield and ross has poise beyond his years. in my opinion he would be very stiff to lose his spot to graham in the next 3 weeks.

Simpson is usually right up my alley but I’ve gone quite cold on him until he starts scoring consistently - check out his game by game stats, he may be more finished as an SC premium than cheap. I think role/rule changes may be the issue rather than age.
Laird is always a pretty safe bet and I think Seedsman and now Milera out could help he and Smith. I will likely get Laird this week, and Sicily is my main alternative def trade in. Simpson actually didn’t make my shopping list based on what we’ve seen year to date.
