For mine the consideration is all around timing, it's looking like teams will be upgrading a bit more earlier on with a lot of the midpricers we're sitting on doing pretty well, so having Dow moo at possibly 400k-ish sooner than Durdin (or in my case Stephens) might get to 300k could be worth sacrificing 70-80k of cash gen in the medium to long term.
We're already sitting on a number of slower burners and potentially looking at some of the DPP additions we were hoping for (eg. Daicos, JHF, etc) perhaps not coming to pass early on in the season, so the value of being able to get a fattened cash cow out the door earlier might be an enticing one for many.

With Hayes now dropped, I'm now questioning the value of my Marshall to English trade. Is the assumption that he's only out temporarily (another test of the "talls")? Or is it more permanent?
Thoughts?
(Have already used 5 trades so far (incl. 1 for this week), and likely to bring in Preuss next week).

Nah, the committee was 50/50 on running three talls and now he is dropped, so expect it will only revert maybe 1 in 3 or 4 games where the match up works better, vs losing forward pressure.
Marshall is impacted by Ryder in the side as well as preferred ruckman. English is better alternative than Marshall as I think he has a contract on the line, has expressed desire to be the ruck, Bulldogs will want to appease him if he is ok in that role (makes up ave taps with disposals) and the alternative is 35 years old.
Having said that will not surprise if Stef plays a few games though the season as a pinch hitter for tough ruck match ups. Naughton injury would also force their hand.
Bottom line, Marshall to English is sound, as Ryder is a bigger issue than Stef.
Feel for Hayes, thought he did a good job up forward including getting on his knees for some tough ground ball gets. Its a pity Ryder is a much better ruck than Marshall (by circa 10% win rate) although only had a few disposals last week.
Key Hayes though. If Ryder gets injured you will hate yourself for trading Marshall and Hayes will provide the compensation factor.
