With Blicavs on the bench, i can see him coming on to play in the backline on one of the carlton key forwards (silvagni,curnow,Mckay) and zach guthrie playing on jack martin. This means Smith will be moved up onto the wing, causing bruhn to be hopefully moved into a midfield rotation. Not sure fully, but just a speculative idea, Hope its true!
Think you are on the money, hope so anyway 😂🤞

Have Xerri and Jones injury to think about this week, bank $48k. Current position 88k - would like to hear from other Coaches if these trades are too hasty or should I wait until after round 2 or maybe a mixture of do's and don'ts?
No 1 gets 2 keepers and No 2 gets more cash generation.
Thanks in advance.

1) Cunnington out - Chandler in
Xerri out - D Cameron in
Hopper out - LDU in
OR
2) Cunnington out - Sheezel in
Xerri out - Gawn in
Hopper out - Horne Francis in

Option two without the need of the third trade. That can be done next week if Hopper is bad and Horne backs it up.

100% agree.
Need to deal with your injury to Xerri. If you need to free up cash to grab Gawn then Sheez is a gr8 trade. Give hopper another go and gives una chance to watch JHF for another week.

A week is a long time in football 😉

Thanks Dome, Socrates and Trigga for your replies. Just wondering if chasing cash generation would put me further behind and it's a slow process from there. Would what is being suggested here still be classified as being aggressive trading?
Shannon said he was going to be more aggressive with fixing problem areas early on.
I leaning toward this approach, it all depends I guess on how you feel about the trades after they have been made, how balanced your team is rather than go overboard one way or another. A few years ago I tried an experiment of just going for all the cash making Rookies after the initial team. I went right out to $150k before using the cash to bring in premium players, still finished around 30k position. The issue I found was the later Rookies we're not as good cash generating players so it used up many trades to improve your position. I had all this money in the bank waiting for a fallen premium and you had to be very patient however in the end it didn't make me enjoy playing the game which is what it's all about.
Thank you for your thought's everyone much appreciated.
