Burgess will be traded by switching Setterfield to the fwd line to cover the Hoff for the time being until Mundy is selected in the next 1-2 weeks but which mid rookie should I grab to replace Burgess.

N Hind
VS
J Hately

Current mid bench is D Clarke and O Baker with the intent to trade Baker in the next 1-3 weeks for M Owies/fwd/mid loop and I have 6 trades left.

Grabbing Hately will likely require another trade to grab S Hurn and D Mundy (F7) to replace W Setterfield and X Duursma which will then leave me with 2 once executed.

Thanks for the research. Not the ideal F7 from here on in, but I need someone to give me a chop out while I wait for bloody Menegola to return. Lord I hate the Cats & their BS hush hush around player injuries.
Personally I'm having a good hard look at that Tom fellow in The Red and the Blue, as well as Menegola at F7 and M9 respectively.

I don't actually have F6 or M8 or even D6 nailed down yet technically speaking but I think I might have enough trades and cash to get them both in and do the upgrades I need elsewhere with 4-5 trades left for the stretch run.

Robbie Young to Hately worth the trade?
If I had 9 or more trades I would do it in a heartbeat. Gets that useless sod out for a guy who may not play many games from here on, but at least can score decently when he does play.

Couldn't decide between grabbing N Hind or J Hately so decided to grab both.

C Burgess and O Baker out for J Hately and N Hind and 259,200 remaining salary.

5 trades left and can grab either S Hurn/L Ryan for X Duursma next round or D Mundy for W Setterfield.

Hold Rockliff and expect him back next week or move him to Sloane?

(+) Sloane has a low BE and likely outscores Rockliff from here

(+) Rockliff may not even come back next week but i think it’s likely he does.

(+) Get Sloane’s score this week instead of Oscar Baker.

(-) Will be down to 4 trades and lose 40k

(-) Rockliff has a 106 average in non injury effected matches. May come back and score massively.

(-) Sloane is vulnerable to a tag and is the most likely to be tagged of their midfielders whilst Rockliff never gets tagged.



Do I bite the bullet and make the move or just hold Rockliff? I can’t wait and see how he goes in SANFL as I’d need to trade in Sloane tomorrow.

This is my fear.

Same goes for Ryder - for those thinking about Lycett.

I'm seriously considering Mundy. Can you guys rate Mundy Lycett Heeney and Gray as F6 options?
I have Heeney at F6 and I’m thinking of bringing in Lycett at F7. Then I’ll have ruck and mid cover and loop them if I don’t need the cover.

Duursma > Logue, Baker > Treloar.

It sucks that Logue has popped up to be such a better option than Naish, because I really could've used the extra 40k. Have to settle for Treloar over my preferred option of Bont, but I don't think there's too much of a difference there. Treloar has burned me two seasons in a row in the past so maybe 3rd time lucky?

Throwing up between mundy and lycett for f6 at the moment. Mundy has more 100s this year... But has had some stinkers lately. Any believe he can pick it back up?
Lycett is more expensive but also more consistent.

Other one is Gray but with some likely midfielders returning soon... Just wondering if Gray goes forward.
