NOD is a big upgrade on Gibcus.
Shifted Stephens last week, so don't really have anyone to flick for NOD, hoping for no trades this week, then Gibcus to Pruess next week when the extra DPPs get added.
Agreed, however I don’t have Gibcus, went Hinge over him. Flicked Ward for Stephens then Stephens for Dow last week.
So it’s Minge or no one I think.

Has there been any concrete news on Minge weeks out - just the one?

I love a trade but I can't trade Cripps for a one week injury! I didnt even start with him. Rachele goes on field in mids. Hopefully he breaks my four week run of fielding/ not fielding the wrong weeks. Xerri to Dixon. I should keep minge. I think Nod comes in. It depends on teams. Probably one of Stephens, Macdonald or skinner.
Tricky with Cripps and how long ... hopefully get an idea shortly. Xerri still has cash to make, would be wary of trading out too hastily. (Although Dixon looks a chance to make cash quicker). Depends how much cover you need, as well as teams. Stephens probably provides the best backup - but obviously assumes he's getting games.

And yes - as you've pointed out, you should always, always hold minge.

So Jackson is a POD and while he's been rlly good thus far, I'd trade him to Witts as Witts is a much more reliable pick
I think you should hold with Ward as there is potential for a spike game
I'd say go Gibcus to NOD and Stephens to Dixon...if you are willing to make that extra trade then go Jackson to Witts but you do you
hold cripps and possibly use petracca to get macrae
Trading Jackson to Witts and holding Cripps in order to trade Petracca to Macrae are both pretty whacky suggestions . . .

Brad Lloyd said today that Cripps isn't fully ruled out for this week. Based off that he misses 1 week max. Think I'm going to hold.

Thinking of moving Bowey on now that the 150 is out of the price cycle and backline dynamics have changed with players back at Melbourne.

Hinge to NOD to fund Bowey up to a premo defender with $520k to spend. Somehow still don't have Hewett in my side and think I'd better fix that ASAP.

Apologies in advance for likely breaking Hewett.

What are people's thoughts on Butters? Breakeven of 152 but looks like having more midfield time with Ollie Wines out.

I’m holding based on that news. I’ve got Rachele as cover if he were to miss which I’m happy with.
You have got to be ****ing kidding me...... we cop it up the butt from him last week at quarter time and now they reckon he will play. Confirms what I always thought of Carlton, bunch of bloody weak arsed mongrel inner city elite twats

As the week goes on feeling much stronger about holding Cripps. Was in such good form, reckon he could finish top 10 midfield. Worth the hold.

Only one would be Minge to NOD if he's not named. Hopefully get some clarity soon.

Preuss next week after the suspension and DPP announcements.

Holding Hinge and Cripps, but thinking O'Driscoll should come in.

Can go Ward, MacDonald or Owens. Ward i think ill keep as he is 1 spike scores in his role to get his cash gn moving, so leaves MacDonald and owens.

Owens will cost 50k odd, MacDonald nets me 7k odd. Have 300k in bank....hmmm
