Probably already covered by now, but a rough estimate of B Smith price and BE would be a touch above 415k and a BE of around 40.
The time has come, the walrus said, to pick up Bailey Smith,
He won't be dropping further now, so snaffle him
forthwith.

In terms of targeting trade-ins, aside from his excellent form, given Melbourne will be bye-free initially and we might have best 18 scoring soon, Gawn becomes even higher priority, is that how to read it?

Bailey Smith essentially picks himself for many next week, I guess.

Would it be wise to switch goldstein/Grundy for English?

Also anyone got some good ideas for a prem mid and forward that still havent hit their max yet? I was thinking Fyfe/Dusty > Mangola/....? But honestly i dont know who to put in for those two since its a big gap to fill. Any ideas?

McRae in the mids since Hunter is back. You need to hold Dusty until all your cash cows have been upgraded.

I don't recommend switching to English there. I am considering him as a cheaper upgrade target than Gawn/Goldy for R2 though, with his projected cash rise off the 204.

B.Smith is one you would want to get this week. Maybe Pendlebury?

Heeney - > Bazlenka locked in

Waiting for West Coast's game before deciding my second trade , could involve a Defender or Midfielder by trading Curtis Taylor (or Butler/Ceglar/Greene/TJL).

Or if a rookie jumps out it could be bye bye Brown.

Based on current pricing , I will need to get a $ 138,300.00 swing in my favour to do my 4 preferred trades in Round 8 & 9.

Fingers crossed

Out: Heeney , C Taylor , Noble , Brown

In: Bailey Smith , X , Y , Z

I was thinking Bailey Smith but on those projections he could wait a week...
If Yeo does well again could bring in him and Zorko for 500k each to strengthen the mids.

Personally I wouldn’t trade Dev. He’s looked horrible at times but is still scoring 70. I view that as a positive.

B Smith also looks a steal to me.

Don’t think you can go too far wrong with Treloar or Macrae from a scoring perspective, I’d probably go Macrae for durability. You may get lucky and be able to decide with some knowledge of the fixture (byes etc).

Option 1 would be my preference as Devon will still come handy due to his dpp, the potential for changes/byes that have others have alluded to/or mentioned and can be looped at M8/F6 later down the track if possible.
