Strategy 2022: Round 3 Trades

Could you go Whitfield to Bowey or similar instead?
I don't think you need 292k up your sleeve when Driscoll/ Skinner aren't looking like making any money - both look like they'll be stuck as the sub more often than not, so could actually lose money if they come on in the last quarter and pop out a 5-10pointer.
On the flip side, the extra 150k you pay for Bowey he potentially makes it in the next 3 weeks then you could always downgrade him to a Driscoll or Skinner or Wilmot if either of them miss a few weeks and are still on the bubble.
Better scoring, better security, better cash cow...

Thanks for the feedback, prompted me to look at the team again.
Another option I like is:
Whitfield, Owens, Berry > Bowey, Cripps, Brodie. with Rachelle moving to mids for dpp, and I get McG cash increase potential instead of two non playing rookies in the mids. Can then hope for McG spike game or trade to a rookie later.

I think that was more of a temporary move with Darcy coming off an injury is what I mean, I think it's a huge risk to go down to him with Darcy in the side. If Darcy isn't fully right he'll play more time forward but if he is fully fit he'll probably be playing mostly ruck and Meek's scoring will fall, so it's a roll of the dice.
Exactly what I've been thinking back and forth all day. There's no other standout ruck that you can pick with confidence and say "yea that guy can easily average 115+ this year". If Darcy had been smashing out the scores then it would've been an easy side-swap. But he's missed a game already and scored below-par last weekend, which means his price is likely to also fall (maybe similar to how much Gawn's price will).
I feel Jackson is a trap, so avoiding him for now.
English looks to be a decent option, but I don't think I can take full advantage of the money banked by going to him because my current team structure and cash available doesn't allow it. Essentially I'll need to use another trade to make use of that money. i.e. Gawn + Whitfield to English & Hall. Is that worth two trades right now? For me, I don't think so.
Last year after round 2 we were all discussing whether to trade Neale before his massive price fall. As we all found out, the correct decision was to trade. But there were a lot of other great midfield options available. For the rucks at the moment, there isn't.
I don't think Gawn will fall below 550k, which is about a 100k loss from starting value. Hoping Whitfield doesn't fall below 450k.
Gut feeling is to hold both. But the more I see posts around here...the more that gut feeling becomes a hopeful feeling of "I hope I'm making the correct call"!!!

I agree - don't think he drops below the 550k mark.
I'm similar, think I'm going safe and just doing Gov to Xerri.
But my issue is that without doing it, I won't have Cripps, Hewett, or Rowell.
Boosts have more value in upgrade time when they can be used to get rookies off field and bring in extra premiums.
Right now people are using boosts to shuffle their teams around - I don't really see much value in that when we are all still under the $10,000,000 salary cap and you're likely just moving to a position you could (or someone else did) start at

Hi guys,
Attached team was from the completion of Rd 2. Don't think ive ever gone around in circles this much over trades before. Have absolutely no clue what to do.
Team has performed well so far, but JHF and to a lesser extent Rachele are probably both required. I'm also open to trading in Bowey.
Other considerations are Witts (via English) & Dunkley.
A number of candidates to cull:
-Weller (got a heap of it in the last qtr rd 1 to make up for an absymal first 3. Then used him as my loophole for Stephens.
-McGovern
-Whitfield/Ridley. Leaning Whitfield if I go down this path
-Berry (a waste, but potentially to bring in JHF)
-Maginess/Mead (suspect neither will be named this week)
My main issue that I keep having is trading a combination of Weller/McGovern + dead rookie results in only being able to field one of JHF/Daicos, unless I trade Berry. I also think Stephens will continue to score very well while McInerney is out so probably also want to keep looping him.
This would only be an issue for the next 3 weeks until Daicos gets DPP after Rd 5.
If someone could clear this mess in my head I'd appreciate it, as I've sat on it for 4 nights straight and still none the wiser.
EDIT: 3.3k rem
