All week I've had in my mind that I'd go Houston and Greene to Sturt and someone like SPS, Andrews, or even blow the bank on Howe, but now I'm second and 3rd guessing.

It turns out Dawson's projected cash loss is about the same as Houston. Who should I prioritise for the axe?

I have a fair bit of flexibility to bring in players positionally. Should I prioritise Rozee over SPS and Andrews? How about over Howe? I know he won't maintain the current level, but he's shown himself to be a good scorer last year as well.

Should I just go another cash grab and go to Pittonet or Cameron?

Given the likely need to want to go to guys like Williamson (who I imagine has good JS with Newman out), Hill, Ash (I'd imagine worse JS), or even Serong next week should I prioritise going early on one of them.

Should I roll the dice on a POD 2nd week rookie like Young (if he makes the cut) or Vandermeer in the hope that they pull a big score this week and I have the cash jump on the field?

Really it shouldn't be this hard :)
You have so many options next week, would be waiting on SHill or the other def that is available. Pitts solid, although, subject to ones ruck set up. I like Cameron, showing good scoring history pre season and last week against a good side.

Sturt looks good with a 100 and BE, it was against Ess and now plays an in form top side. Also, not sure how long Sean Darcy is out, however, once Lobbs goes back to fwd line, does Sturt hold his spot.

I'm torn whether to up Jacobs to Gawn or down him to Pittonet, or stick with him. Very unsure!!
Think I have settled on :-

Cavarra - > Cameron
Sloane - > Pittonet (R3)

need some $$$ to upgrade Noble next round
Jacobs playing English, would give him another week. Cavarra to Cameron looks good, Sloane is named.

Have 3 options for my second trade:

1. T Brown > D Cameron
2. B Bewley > D Cameron
3. B Smith > T Steward

Leaning towards 2 but I still have confidence in Bewley to come good.
Also like 3 although if you have dpp to go Smith to Cameron then I would do that.

Brodie Smith -> Ridley
Cavara -> Pittonet (R2)

Flipped a coin and am trading Brodie over Houston. Like with trading in McGrath last week, it feels like it is too good to be true with regard to Bomber's players in break-out roles and my obvious bias towards them; but for once it feels like a one-eyedeness is going to pay off. Would confidently tip Ridders to average at least what Brodie (or Houston) will average from here on out, so using this trade to fund a donut to potentially the (2nd)best cash-cow for the year was a no brainer :)

Anyone else not on the Pittonet bandwagon? Feel like a lone raider out here.

Comben - Cameron & Cavarra - Sturt.
I'm mulling over NicNat to Pittonet as we speak. Feels like the right move but fully half of my squad will be in cash cow territory if I pull the trigger.

I won't be either unfortunately.
Dusty and now Kelly spot fires mean my trades have to be used elsewhere.
I had Jelly as a sneaky VC choice but now I'm looking at Cogs or Whitfield.

Will have to hold onto him (Jelly) for now after already shifting Dusty out for Zerrett - probably making me lean a bit more towards bringing Pittonet in for NicNat to give me some more wriggle room next week.

Even with Dusty and Jelly now missing, will prob stick with my plan of Fort to Howe, but can still wait on tonight's game to see how the other 'big' mids (Cogs, Dunkley, Bont, Macrae) go to decide what to do and whether points need to be made up..

*Cavarra to Sturt
*Frampton to Cameron.
Would love to trade Laird to Stewart but getting those 2 off my fwd bench takes precedence

Yep know exactly how you feel, cant quite wrangle it this week and his price is likely going to explode so am just going to have to grit the teeth and bear it.

Im actually considering just copping the Donut and bringing him in anyway crazily enough.

Dusty > Pittonet
Xerri > Sturt

Hoping Dusty 1. Doesn’t come back straight away next round 2. If he does, isn’t 100% (will probably come back to burn me anyway)

Was hoping Geo would get the gig before Sturt but can’t miss out on a projected 65k+ price hike. Not a bad thing with Geo out, get to emergency loop either King or Budarick’s score

456k in the bank next week to upgrade/downgrade Noble or even a sneaky Jacobs upgrade > Gawn (hopefully he destroys English)
