The interesting thing is Stringer is becoming a preferred trade in option on others sites I visit , although not that popular here.
I am very cash strapped so for someone who costs $ 325k with scores of 124 , 86 , 27 , 84 , 92 he is averaging 82.6 (not much less than Kropenyeri-Pickett , Hind , Atkins types) he might serve a purpose , doubt he is a season long keeper but he could be a stepping stone to Dangerfield if necessary.
I just need to weigh up the balance of my forward line currently with Impey , Martin , Ziebell & Zorko (in my mids).
Warner to Marshall is the plan.
F6 is McCreery with Rowe & Fullarton on my bench.
So either leaves 1 or 2 spots to fill.
Doing the sums during the week I may end up with both Laird & Zorko permanently in my mids.
Yours and others balance maybe completely different so Stringer might not suit your team.
Brown , de Goey , Heeney and possibly Petty are cheaper alternatives next week that could do a similar job.
Hall will be getting more and more mentions (amazingly he plays less games every season than Heeney but looks like a ride many are prepared to take).
Daniel & May definitely look the value options in defence this round , Ridley will be about $ 500k next week , Houston could drop to $ 425k or wait for Whitfield.
Lots of different options , just need to workout what best suits your team not only for the current round but in the next 2-3 rounds as well.
If you still have 21-22 trades left after this round you are doing very well.

Backline is just a revolving door of holes this season, stifling any upgrades
Want to upgrade but with Ryan and Chapman out will have a zero
No net improvement to side but thinking
Chapman > Frederick
Ryan > Mills +$150k
Is Highmore a chance of playing? Him and Sharp have been stinking up my rookie bench on the bubble

The ruck bloodbath that round is real
If you're not carrying a R3 and had intended to use a R/F switcheroo, you have the following options currently playing who aren't sharing the bye with Grawndy (IE, put a line through Marshall, Lobb, Thilthorpe etc)
Tom Campbell
That doesn't fill me with confidence around job security
If you can structure all your DPP types, or by some bizarre circumstance have Biggy Nyuon at R3 you may be able to swing Ben McEvoy from defence but who really is using 400k in defence on Ben McEvoy at the moment? I guess someone who planned their bye structure more thoroughly than me. I had planned on Ladhams due to his bye but he was woeful and required early trading, and then was gone.
(Edit. Missed Adelaide sharing the bye as well)

Cheers Darkie, thanks for your comments
Things have changed since I posted, lol. Duggan is now out so he will need to be traded and Ryan is 50/50 to play now (was no chance at the time of posting).
Keen to get Ridley in of course, but not this week, but hopefully next week for around 500k.
Might look at byes and weigh up Lloyd for Duggan or go down to Daniel and some cash.
I guess the balancing act is that what ever I do I need to make sure I have enough cash to get Ridley next week or the week after.
Chapman to Fred and Duggan to Daniel leaves 384k for next week
or
Chapman to Fred and Duggan to Lloyd leaves 235k for next week

Bit lost this week. Have 29.6k in the bank, and my team stinks.
I was thinking Rowe and Chapman out, but doesn't leave me with much cash. I want to swing Martin into the forwards for Rowe. If Highmore plays/Mansell scores well tonight, I have more options - but feeling clueless. Wish my team wasn't this bad. Any thoughts appreciated!

My team is pretty bad this year (looks worse than yours actually as I dont have Powell/Jordon) and I’m in a similar position with Rowe/Chappy to boot but not enough cash to hit an upgrade.
Planning to go Rowe/Chappy to Frederick/RCD (hoping they can hold up on field spots) and then do Scott UP next round

That's an interesting one. I'm usually inclined to pick the better player (within reason price-wise), but a $150k price difference at this point seems high for Lloyd over Daniel. [I actually paid a similar price for Lloyd a couple of weeks back, fairly happily ... and unfortunately started Daniel!]
If you feel somewhat cash-constrained, I would probably take Daniel and back him to get within 10-15 points of Lloyd (given that the price difference implies more like 30 ppg). Otherwise I think Lloyd is still a very solid pick at his price.
