Okay you've lost me at Rockliff now - you're now on my ignore list ;)
Yeh was bored lol but I think I'll hold off on Ward see how he goes back from the injury and use the cash on Howe next week maybe.
Also picking Ward would've left me with no fwd cover and gives me an extra trade to go early on a rookie if I can decide on which one.

Well, so far I've done:

Roberton > Howe
Bonar > McInerney
Brayshaw > Ceglar

Final two will likely be
Green > Rivers
Oliver > Viney
+ $269,600 (BZT to Doedee next week; and look at this week's rookies)

This week, still have on my respective benches all non-playing except for bolded:
Def: BZT, Gould
Mid: Starcevich, Robertson, Hibberd
Rk: Cameron
Fwd: Cavarra, Davis

What do you guys think? Should I fix up more rookies (maybe bring in Long/Bennell) and forgo Oliver > Viney?

I'm leaving Williams, Hibberd, Cavarra, and Conroy (loop) FWIW. Will use two of them next week to get bubble boys like Sturt.

Cash gen obviously important, but with an unprecedented 5 trades this week it's one of very few opportunities to deploy widespread structural changes in one round... and who doesn't love that :p

I will likely grab Viney (just), but really like Oliver as a pick, so I would likely forgo that trade.

Could be heaps of rookies coming next week, so I like going early. Bennell this week would be on my radar, albeit you need the cover more elsewhere, or maybe go “early” on Doedee and then pick the best genuine rookies next week with one game of info on them?

Yeah, Oliver could come out and post a 150 this week, and Doedee would allow me to have DEF cover, and maybe swing Brander fwd next week. Might see what it looks like in the morning.

Thanks guys.

I need to make at least one trade with K Pickett suspended and Davis and Cavarra dropped.

Thinking Rivers or even Bennell best two options to go early on.

Pulled the trigger on trades 2 and 3 this morning. Roberton > SPS and Brayshaw > Bewley. (Wasn't sure on doing this, but got a feeling they'll at least break even in points, saves me more $$ and I think Brayshaw will potentially 'tag' Neale this week rather than be out to find his own footy). Really tempted to go DMac to Simpkin, but atm I'd like to back DMac in.. we will see..

I have just pulled the trigger on 5 trades as I will likely miss a lockout later....hopefully no late outs!

Bont, Houston, Roberton, Naismith, Green

To

Neale, Gawn, Doedee, Bennell, Rivers

$100 In the bank lol
This is how you reset an SC season. I could still go with the same five in’s and I’m sure I’d sleep much easier at night.

But my stubbornness refuses to let me sideways trade off just one rounds evidence. Someone please talk me around ?

I have no idea with trades. All 5 still available.
Below is my thinking:

Roberton to Rivers
Green to Bennell
Davis to Long


2 trades left, $37,300 in kitty.
50/50 on keeping/trading Bont/Dunks or both, I realise they will decrease in value.
Cav to Sturt next week likely. Can loop Taylor today.
Davis could well come back next week.
Defence is dodgy.

Missed out on Howe unfortunately.
Players I've had my eye on: Hurn, SPS, Doedee, Simkin, D Smith, Trac, Sloane, JPK, Bewley, Ah Chee (WC, smokey, huge risk, not sure his role at WC)
Any help appreciated.

Solid trades.

Based on your side I’d be tempted to move Gresham on for Trac if he’s a target you are bullish on.

And perhaps go early on Sturt for Cav in case you need next weeks trade to chase a debuting rookie bolter and a Doedee.

Howe Rivers Viney Cameron (Only have Green/Geo/Xerri/BWilliams as non playing rooks)

Saving the 5th one for Green to Bennell - still undecided

Is Starcevich any chance to hit 40+ in SC?

What's his role does anyone know, does he have a game that might score more than Noble sitting on the bench?

I guess it's only 40, even if he doesn't surely he could make 30 this week.
