Strategy 2022: Round 4 Trades

Yeah thought i'd be clever and not take too many popular picks but as you would know that can work both ways, as I'm finding out lol
My plan for Preuss dropping off is Jackson to R2 (originally Hayes but looks like we can forget about that now). Probably need to get Gawndy in at some stage but while English is firing not to worried.
I'm looking at maybe Stephens to Dow if Stephens gets dropped. Did a quick read on the tiges board and they're talking him up, think he might be a poddish rookie. Or Mead seems like the other one I could probably take instead.
Worth keeping in mind that Melbourne play GWS next week and after what happened to Miller, I'd be hesitant to grab either Oliver or Trac until you know the impact of that game. Could get either at a significant discount and they've shown a tendency to go to Oliver in the past. Could make him a tasty round 7ish upgrade!
Green looks great but still question marks.. if you absolutely have to spend the catch ITB the I think he's a decent option. Otherwise potentially a backline premium (Hall, Stewart, Rich, etc) or a forward premium (Heeney, Treloar, etc) could open up some possibilities.

Exactly & why I am waiting till after that game to get Oliver.
Last 4 scores v GWS :- 87,67, 87 & 53, his worst team by far historically. I recall the game last year when De Boer was doing a real number on him before doing his hamstring about 1/2 time. Oliver's possessions till that point were very low, he got off the chain after the injury in the 2nd half & kicked a few goals if I recall correctly to rescue his score.

OK if I have Gawn/Grundy I am going Grundy to English make $100k to then upgrade either D. Stehens > Shiel/Lipinski or P.McCartin > N. Broad (only ones I could afford with good average). Can anyone tell me about Nathan Broad (Rich def.) 79. 108 and 130 does he have the role for SC. Then swing English fwd next week and bring in Pruess. Thank you

$51,00 short to get Green otherwise that would have been the best move, I can get Lipinski tho, so might do that and get a rookie off the field, thanks for the reply
Having said that, my recent advice on such matters could make it a genius move by you. I'm not going well.
He does seemed to have changed up his 1-dimensional game a bit, and you know he'll be at CBA's as much as anyone. It's his disposal that is a concern - he's a throw it on the boot player. (Then again, CD don't recognise Merrett's polish and ability to cut angles and open space, which is frustrating.)
Sheil will probably pump out 90's, give or take, for a while, but is that enough for a keeper?
Caveat emptor regarding both Sheil and my advice.

Generally, yes.
However certain injuries make it more difficult if you are competing front on. If Marshall had a rib problem on his right side for example, he could contest boundary throw-ins starting on the right and only expose his left side to contact. Similiar around the ground as he can lock on to the other player from a favoured side.
Why would a player contest 87% of CBA's in round 1 (against a very good ruckman in Grundy) and only 52% in round 2? Especially given his back-up (Hayes) had a great game in round 1 playing predominantly as a forward. Hayes is hardly a better centre bounce ruckman than Marshall, so alarm bells naturally started ringing.
