Berry and Stephens to Cripps and McComb.

Cants get into the idea of boosting for the sake of a 2-gamer. Hewett a wait and see for now.

Triple down into Clark, Hamilton and Rioli or Strnadica next week?

Why aren’t more people trading Daicos?

His scoring has already dropped away with 3 consecutive 70s in light of a possible foot issue - now throw gastro into the mix and we could be looking at a horror score (similar to De Goey/Butters) well below his 74 breakeven.

Surely it’s the right time to jump off?

Likely more pressing issues to attend to for those that had to delay certain trades last round in order to deal with the likes of J Hayes, B Grundy, T Xerri, etc. If Hewett was available this weekend, I would expect the figure to rise. Still a very manageable breakeven and depending on your definition of well below, it is unlikely that he will be leaking significant cash to affect trading plans next round.

26 trades left, 3 boosts , $73k ITB
I have..
3/6 Def Prem spots filled
7/8 Mid prem spots filled
Ruck line done IMO, English and Preuss for the home stretch

Dunks, Brodie, Cogs, Butters, Xerri and Martin in the fwd line, which makes it hard to determine which will be keepers and which wont

I still have J hayes, Dixon, Ward, McDonald as rookies that are ready or almost ready to be traded
Notbsure what to do with Xerri at the moment as i have a feeling he wont get his role back when he returns

Any ideas on what to do this week?

So far my thoughts are
-Double down (e.g Hayes, Mcdonald> McComb/Curtis)
-Single trade
Or
1 up 1 down
Get a prem defender

I'm also worried that Gawn might be rested for the trip to WA

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!
If you had confidence in either of the def rookie debutantes

Daicos Brodie NOD
Parker Cripps def rookie

Otherwise slip a premium defender instead of Parker with your choice of rookie from there.

I'm passing on McComb and bringing in Carroll early for Rachelle, trading Daicos > Short as he was going next week anyway. Saves a trade boost, McComb would probably be out when Hunter is back, Carroll looked very good and would seem to have good JS, Daicos looks primed for a rest and Noddy might go ok against North. I can also loop JHF with Carroll. Shorts BE means he'll possible be 30k dearer next week which would kill my next def upgrade if I waited a week on him.

Next week another 1 up 1 down for a def premo with 1 of Hamilton or Rioli to come in. The week after looks like a double down in preparation for the byes with Stephens and Clark on the bubble.

Yeah I understand people may have more pressing issues, but I actually now view Daicos as a bigger priority to trade out than JHF (likely to reach BE), NOD (great fixture), Brodie (great fixture), McCartin (likely to reach BE), Ward (likely to reach BE) and Dixon (likely to reach BE if first ruck).

McComb is not a must have but he unlocks cash this week. I can do an upgrade without him and am tossing up whether to bring him in. I think those who trade him in need a bit of luck.

Can't get Parker and Oliver in 3 trades, even with $300k in the bank, so going to save the boost this week and do a traditional one up one down:

OUT: Rachele, Hayes
IN: Parker, McComb

Next week Dow to Clark and someone up to Oliver...

Rachele, Daicos and Bowey —> Parker, Stewart and Carrol.
Too much to pay for Stewart? Poor JS for Carrol? Thoughts appreciated 👍

Had Stradnica coming in.

But then he was out, so I switched to Clark.

But then he was out, so I switched to McComb.

But then Stradnica was back in, so I switched to Stradnica.

But then he was out, so I switched to McComb.

What an underwhelming set of deckchairs to shuffle.
Isn't he back in again ? I guess we wait until this afternoon when they release their Squad.
