Now that Frederick is out I'm going with Rowe -> Murphy via J. Clark and Finlay DPP. The question mark over Murphy will be staying healthy as I think his JS should be pretty decent given out team. Not such a bad thing that Frederick is out though as he's still a strong one-down if he gets another game in the next few weeks (eyeing off Whitfield or Lloyd in that timeframe so a Frederick downgrade will be very handy).

Will bypass May now that he'll have to play more of a defensive role down back and will have another look at Daniel this week to see if he's worth bringing in next week (would mean Laird shifting to M8 permanently but so be it).

Likely wont make a second trade which means at wearing a donut again at R2, but I can't justify getting someone else in as a short term rental who I'll be trading out in a couple of weeks, despite the noticeable damage it's doing to my scoring every week. Desperately need Flynn to get a game for the next couple of weeks though to close the gap with Gawn.
Better go slip Mummy a dodgy sausage 🤣

Was keen on May, Murphy in for Chapman, Rowe, but is Rowe, Gulden for Bolton, Murphy better?

Do you need RCD this week to free up cash for an upgrade trade next week? Poulter is also going to be on the bubble next week and he looked ok in his debut.
Thanks mate. I'll hold fire. Might set up for upgrade next week.

Depends how much cash you have but your forward line looks weak.

Can you do Chapman > Murphy and Rowe > Zorko?

Edit: prefer Murphy this week and RCD next
Yeah, forwardline definitely the primary focus at this stage.

You actually have a solid enough onfield side , just need some (a lot) of your bench to return so you can get some $$$.

Campbell might be able to get you Houston/Howe/Moore as a value D6 in a few rounds via Briggs

Get another game out of Flynn and then he gets you a $ 175k profit.

Just need a couple of value players to take a punt on like Ben Brown , de Goey , Petty , Stringer for example.

Keep going strong

I think I’m just going to go Chapman to Murphy. Feels too risky to go early on any rookie this year.

a brayshaw vs may?

May would be D6 but no ridley. Only way to get Ridley is Laird as a perm mid
