Just putting it out there:

5 trades left and only $17,800 ITB

Lloyd, Ridley, Z Williams, J Dawson, Docherty, Stewart (B McKay, B Williams)
Neale, Oliver, Titch, Merrett, Fyfe, Cripps, Coniglio, Parker (Mahony, Bytel, Foot)
Grundy, Draper (Comben)
Petracca, Whitfield, D Martin, J Martin, B Smith, Simpkin (O McInerney, D Cameron)

So if Williams (tick), Draper (tick) and D Cameron (unlikely) are selected and no other supprises at selection that gives me 22 (or 21 without Cameron).

Just say I wanted to get Gawn in in the next 2 rounds what would be the best way forward?

Idealy I would love to get a look at Draper tonight, but the problem is that if he spuds it up, the only 'cheaper' rucks I would be interested in in would be Goldstein (bye), O'Brien (plays tonight) and McEvoy (plays tonight).

I'm open to Grundy to Gawn, but would still need a downgrade first to even do that.

Gawn would be ideal in R2, but without trading valuable payers away and valuable trades, maybe he is just not viable?

Thoughts?
To many thoughts going through my head, lol.

Changed direction again:

Simpkin and B Smith to Ricardi and Gawn (providing Cameron is dropped, which I think is a pretty strong chance).

Leaves 3 trades and around 93k

Plan from then would be Draper to cheap ruck and Cameron to 450k'ish FWD leaving one trade for rest of season plus a small amount of cash.

What will be will be.

Melbourne's game starts at 4-40 and Collingwoods selections are due at 6-20.
Need to make the call before "knowing" Camerons fate.

Cheers mate, yeah I realised that as I was posting.

After his form the last 2 games surely he is no chance, but funnier things have happened I guess.

Not too often I pray for a rookie to be dropped :(

5 F/M in your team , have you considered Simpson to Coleman at all ? to utilise that link.

looks like you are missing a mid as well

not sure D/F link is worthwhile if they are both not playing
and what do you know ? 😀

Coleman is about to appear , I must have a link to the Lions 😉
