Cheers guys, might just be 'cullable' this week.. especially as an upgrade.. kicking myself for not pulling the trigger and grabbing B.Smith, he's looking like a FWD keeper..

Depending on final teams tomorrow night have now decided on a 50/50 fomo

Jacobs - > Petracca via D Cameron
Williams - > Hamill (hopefully can play enough to generate some $$$)

Bennell & Pickett could be a problem trying to generate $$$

North Melb.
looking to bring in a forward. Have narrowed it down to 3 players.

Gresham
Ziebell
Ceglar

Any views on which of these can end up a top 6 forward for the year?

The Naismith news sucks for the big fella, but makes my trade thoughts clearer.
Will abort my plan to trade out Grundy and instead trade out Long and either C Taylor or Pickett. In will come Simpkin and one of Philp or Mahony (if named).
Anyone have any thoughts regarding Philp's job security?

What are those who have Sturt and AREN'T trading him thinking of doing? Just holding him as a donut, or holding hope that in 5-6 weeks he can come back and make money?

Yep, holding as a donut/loophole for now.
May trade in the future if required, but I've got 7 up FWD with some swing options, so he's low on the todo list.
May even stick around long enough that he comes back, but I wont be counting on it.

I just don't think I can do my Grundy/Sturt to Pittonet/Petracca trade....I will likely chicken out
I am also struggling with the J Kelly/Doedee to Simpkin/Petracca trade....this is lower risk as Jelly won't hurt me like Grundy but I don't feel I am improving my team enough... It does get another premium on field so I haven't ruled this out. Jelly being a late out which actually make me happy as then I would just do this trade in a heartbeat
At the moment I am thinking of moving on Doedee/Noble to Petracca (via Brander)/Hamill. Essentially this means Petracca/Rivers on field compared to Doedee/Noble. Jumping off Doedee with a break even of 11 seems counter productive but Petracca also won't be 470k next week and I feel like I get a better on field hit going to 14 premiums a week earlier and I don't have the $$ to do it any other way.

Anyway thanks for my therapy session I will go and change my mind again now!

It's a tough week to make trade choices. I've similarly come up with 4 or 5 ideas and not sure which way to roll.
Petracca looks a must have to me so if you are confident that Hamill will keep getting games I like your Doedee/Noble to Trac/Hamill option.
The decision might be made for you (and me) if Grundy or Jelly are a late out tonight though.

Any tips on how to enlarge it? I've dragged it onto a spreadsheet but hard to read.

1. Simpkin: Appears to be second behind Cunnington for midfield priority.
2. Smith: 3rd in the pecking order and now 2nd with Dunkley out.
3. Greenwood: Gold Coast rotating mids a lot but he is a major part of the rotations.
4. Wingard: Bit part player of the midfield and relying on goals.
5. Ebert: Seems to be relying on some goals aswell. Might be benefiting from 3 easy wins.

Sorry if it's too late.

yes not sure on Hamill's scoring but I think there is a spike game in him (if the crows can actually get the ball as he likely doesn't get it himself). In terms of JS he was looking good all pre-season so I will back the new crows regime to give a run of games to one of the only quick silky young talented wing/hbf types we have at the crows - particularly while milera and atkins are injured for a while.
