Very bloody tempting that is! I'll be rather fulll in the fowards...but hey! Thank you kindly!
With D Smith, J Simpkin, D Martin and L Whitfield all possessing fwd/mid status, 1 or several could be stationed in the midfield for the time being until you perhaps trade T Lynch for a midfield premium in the upcoming rounds.

yeah, agreed. It's just that I'm hesitant to roll into that many premo mids. My logic being try to buy the top6. I've got Dusty, Whifield, Heeney and Walters in there as top 6 material. Buying Petracca means dumping Smith or TJL to bench/trade at some point... both might be a step too far... or just straight out correct as they score more.... do you think it's the latter?

Out: Sturt and Hill...actually probably hold hill, can't just straight trade out the 2 I traded in last week for a grand total of 11 points. So, out Sturt and Houston. In premo Fwd + Ridley or something like that.

I've completely switched off this week after last week's debacle so I need to get focused very quickly.

If you are confident on Simpkin and Petracca maintaining their form, then they seem like great selections due to their current centre bounce attendances- C Petracca 31/42 (Gawn,Oliver,Viney, Brayshaw the only Melb players with more than 2) and J Simpkin (2nd behind Goldy) in conjunction with their current price.

This season I wouldn’t be too concerned about selecting the top 6 in each position instead prioritising value to ensure the susceptible rookies are moved off the ground sooner rather than later thus helping to maximise overall points. Walters is a great upgrade target and regarding Heeney it is dependent on whether you are willing to endure the potential low scores if he manages a performance similar to RD2.

T Lynch I would be happy to trade and as for D Smith his ability to provide cover on multiple lines as well as being utilised as a M9/F7 should come in handy if an opportunity presents in the latter stages of the season.

Can't have a donut up forward if Taylor gets dropped with Sturt injured.
Think I will swing someone fwd and go early on Serong.
Pittonet trade in looks far away for me now.

Dunkley and Jacobs for Pitto and Macrae... thoughts?

Can't afford gawn, and hate paying the extra 80k from last week for pitto... But seems good on paper.

Hoping macrae benefits with more cba with dunk out
