Berry becomes Titch for me next week, not the greatest price rise out of a rookie but still have Jordon, Powell, Bergman, Scott and now McNeil going to make some nice cash for the next few weeks. Really reluctant to give up on Rowe after an 81 but seems like the best candidate to become Poulter. Hoping Waterman gets back in to the Bombers side with Stringer set to be out for a few weeks.
Not sure whether to do 1 upgrade & 1 downgrade or just 2 downgrades this week. 20 trades remaining with 55k in bank.
Gonna carefully take a look at the rookies in my team.
Def:
Murphy (L.Jones, Highmore)
Mids:
Powell, Jordon, A.Scott, (McNeil, Gulden, Sharp)
Rucks:
(Flynn)
Fwds:
Warner, Bergman, Jones (McCreery, Brockman)
Powell and Jordon have been the best rookies so definitely holding for now. Holding Flynn until the BYES unless I'm desperate for cash.
The cash gen is still going for Scott, McNeil, Bergman & Jones so have to hold!
Could go Gulden & Warner to RCD & Poulter. Or Gulden & Warner to RCD & and any player up to 540k.

Hey lads, reckon Poulter is a must have? His heat map shows he was mainly playing a role in the defensive half at the weekend. Does he have strong enough JS to play until the BYES? If I bring him in I would have 3 Collingwood rookies in my team but worried he'll get dropped when Howe comes back.
Also worried McCreery might get dropped before he's made enough $$$ to warrant a trade out (similar to Brockman just sitting on my bench).

What has become clear is that I don't have enough rookies.
I have 11 now, with cash for potentially a double upgrade to cheap faux-premos.
And that's my entire problem. I get sucked into I can get 2 rookies off field if I go Hall and Cameron, and I just end up with all of these underperformers, no good cash gen (as I've traded out the rookies who had made cash) and cash losses from the faux premos when they inevitably revert to mean.
Every year.
And I know it's wrong, but it's so boring to just play by the numbers!

I really think Brockman plays this week, but I guess we'll see.
Warner is the one for me on the chopping block, but you just know a spike game or two is coming. He's struggled to keep the possession count up vs elite midfields (unsurprisingly given he's a rookie) but has a fantastic draw up until their bye. Still getting a lot of mid time.
