I think worst case is a donut Round 5. Ryder could be back this week (more likely next week), takes the main ruck and Hayes is a permanent forward with Marshall as you suggest. If Ryder this week then could be round 5 donut, 6 as you say if Ryder delayed.
Yet this week West Coast gains JJK back forward and Nic Nat in the ruck. There would be a chance that Dixon doesn't play within one week. Eagles have a number of the small forwards playing again (Ryan, Petraculle, Rioli) plus the resting mids like O'Neill, as they gain back some mids as well.
So you are really going in with just Hayes for the next 4 weeks. The positive is that Preuss if he plays will be on the bubble round 5.
We saw last year how quickly everything changed between round 1 and round 4 which had been likely, just the players came back from injury quicker than we thought. Darling was meant to be out for 4 weeks which is why Dixon is in my side and not Martin.

Completely agree with you but I'm not sure the coaching panel does. They seem to prefer stacking the midfield with one way runners who don't want to get their hands dirty. Anyone looking at Caldwell should just assume Shiel takes Merretts spot and Caldwell plays the same role he did last round. He's got so much class that he can still score well, but I wouldn't be expecting much more mid time unless Shiel is out longer. It took us years to realise Parish was a midfielder, who knows how long it will take for Caldwell.

Trading in Heeney? Maybe a trap?
First 6 rds last two years.
2021 115, 102 and then 82,44, 54, 19
2020 152, 60 and then 123, 64, 79, 86[/QUOTE
Will not kick 4 goals every week.? if i remember correctly i bought him in 2021 and got the 44 54, then the rage trade out.
Lost 8 thousands places in those 2 weeks and ruined my season. Its why i am also skeptical on Cripps. been burned by both the last 2 years.
But Gezzz CRIPPS looks good.
I'm going to throw some ideas around:
A
1. Gawn > Jackson
2. Whitfield > Hewett
3. Long > Ginnivan
(237k in bank)
B.
1. Gawn > Jackson
2. SKD > Hewitt (ie. Keeping Whitfield.)
(59k in bank)
I need to change up my game this year - be a little less conservative. Went from 35k overall into top 6k this week. May as well go for the green while there's any sort of chance.

Current thinking is as follows:
Gawn is a problem, however the Ruck line is fraught with peril and none of the options thrill me, so I'm going to keep Gawn (for now) and hope he comes good
Steele => Cripps
(Steele makes me feel
and is about to drop $45k - same as Gawn, so he's gone)
This frees up about $240k and hopefully give me more points on field
Whitfield => Hewett
(Whitfield is also and this trade releases $100k and should increase points on field)
Owens => Hall (via DPP)
(This will put Gibcus on the Bench and put the top scoring Defender on field)
