I'm assuming Essendon play on the weekend missing their defenders.

Jacobs -> Pittonet
Lynch (rich) -> Neale via Budarick

If Essendon don't play, it might be something like;

Jacobs -> Gawn
Houston -> Dodo

Potentially might not do anything this round.

My biggest underperformer for his position is probably Bont, but I didn't think he looked too bad the other night and I've already got Fyfe/Neale/Macrae so not sure who I'd swap him out for

Noble to Williamson the only normal trade I have.
Otherwise can't see the value in saving up trades at this point of the season so Dunkley to someone if he misses.

Current team:
1592783484033.png

1. Out: D Hannebery and B Long, In: L Neale and T Williamson (via C Budarick and T Rivers)
Bypass Simpkin, Budarick moves to F4 but I finally grab Neale.

2. Out: B Long and A Brayshaw, In: J Simpkin and D Butler
$72,300 and Butler to be used as an avenue to Whitfield.

Don't want to miss Simpkin so will trade up from Sturt. Exploring the option of trading either Grundy or Nic Nat to Pitto if the blues play.

Milera to Fyfe via Rivers DPP

Probably Whitfield to someone if he doesn’t come good.

Means still holding Dusty and Josh Kelly, so hopefully they come good this week!

ok - so I am guessing we have another week of 18 and Essendon miss out - just a guess. Will prioritize cash but try to go one up where I avoid Essen-done and their opponents for two weeks.

I have 550,000 in the kitty, so if that is the lie of the land, then I will maybe go Sturt to Simpkin and D.Smith to ... Not sure yet, maybe Walters or maybe Dusty? NOt sure

Houston > Williamson
Sturt > Simpkin

I'm now looking at using a couple of trades to essentially shuffle Houston the absolute potato to Simpkin. This season all about having some fun for me, and Houston is not that. The above moves leave me with a 'complete' forward-line, will still grab Whitfield in a few weeks time at M8, with one eye on moving to the forwards when the time is right. Very happy with my team outside of a few underperforming mids.

Simpkin looks an important buy IMO.

That is one very impressive looking forward line (so far)

I like option A Connoisseur , must get Neale IMO , can't believe i beat you to this week , i stopped looking at my horrible score early Sunday , didn't think i would pass 1600

Doedee could average 150+ season given how bad the Cows looked , gives you 5 upgrades to do and back Bont & Danger in
Yeah very happy with how Doedee looked on the weekend, seemed to shake off a lot of the rust I saw a week earlier. I think some big scores from Bont aren't far away, a 97 with DeBoer in his back pocket all night – I'll take that.

I need to get Bont back in after my stupid trade Friday night , but need my rookies to all play the next 3 rounds at least and make lots of $$$
