I think he plays the rest of the year unless injury (or covid) strike. Yeah he is a small forward but he is listed at 185cm and plays a lot taller than that. He has a leap, tackles, I really like him so far
Sounds like promising feedback for Curtis from the Roos…..his round 14 bye is appealing

He's a top 3 defender on average, why would you sacrifice that when he'll miss only one more game?
I am struggling to work out what to do with Hewett. He has the R12 bye so will only play the next 3/5 rounds at best. Is there any merit in trading him to someone who is a good chance of playing 5 of the next 5 rounds. Then after his bye, slingshot one of my poorer performers at their bye back to him?

I think it would be more worth it if he were to miss more than one more game and was coming down heavily in price once he returned.

ITB = $61k, 25 trades & 3 boosts

Little bit stumped one what to do this week, the obvious gap in the side is Crippa
Not sure how to go about the trades, i'm seeking some advice
If i trade Daicos to allow Cripps this week because of his very low BE if i dont get him this week ill be paying up a fair bit in the future
Thoughts will be greatly appreciated cheers!

I Prefer Strnadica too if it suits a teams structure :)
Brought in S Hayes last week and banked the Grundy money to bring in a premo ruck this week, but if Strnadica plays wil bring him in instead for some cash gen.

Will bring in Oliver either way with the cash ITB and either Strnadica or Curtis (I know he is a small fwd at NM but with BE -48 he's there for a quick cash grab not as a long term option).

This will also impact which of my rookies goes as Dixon can stay if I don't bring in Strnadica.
Strnadica - it was reported that Strnadica earlier in the week that he didn't train Monday and that he was home under covid protocols.

This was incorrect as he apparently has a virus, not the covid type.

If he is not flying, expect he hasn't recovered in time.

This is by piecing together bits and pieces of information. He was considered available and they were discussing who they would run with in the ruck. If he was healthy, hard to see them picking Dixon ahead of Strnadica.

What if I could use him to get Gawn in a single trade?
Yeah this is a tough one and also something similar that I'm toying with.

I've stupidly packed my midfield like below and leaves me little room for rookie mid trades like Clark next week. I love Green but I feel he may be slowing and I am sooo tempted to just do Rachele to McComb and Green to Gawn which gives me much more flexibility and then the option to bring in Steele later. It also gives me more flexi in the midfieeld again looking at that last premium spot, thoughts.

Also allows me to keep English

Finding this the toughest week to decide on trades so far this season. Almost preseason levels of uncertainty.

It's not like I'm desperate to stay in touch with the top flight SuperCoachers either.

Just trying to navigate the right path for my team is starting to do my head in.
