See how my remaining rookies go tomorrow then work out which ones I need to lose and get for Round 3.

Possibly Bruce , Chandler & Phillipou

Keen to see how Bowes & Crozier both follow up.

Tempting to trade out Darcy but will wait and see.

Gawn is gone. Not sure who yet but either English, Witts or Cameron.

Jones is up in the air, see how Chesser, Davey and Greene go.

Pretty sure I'm going to dump Neale for LDU as well, two really poor games and scores by Neale, may as well take the cash.

Chandler and Gulden the other two that I will need to make a call on whether to target or not.

At least at this rate I'll be out of trades nice and soon and able to set the team onto autopilot mode having reached cruising altitude at the 150,000k range!

It's so tempting but unless there's some sort of niggle Darcy has it's probably a waste of a trade.
The problem is that Jackson had a large amount of ruck time, particularly in the first half.
One of the main reasons why I’m considering holding is because he plays WC next week. Could go huge if given the clear number 1 duties again.

Trade out candidates before Sunday games: Darcy, Baker, Chesser, Greene, Flanders, Ridley
In: Witts, English, DCam, Chandler, Phillipou, Worpel, Setterfield, Rachele, Naicos, LDU

$29k in the bank

Baker/Chesser/Greene to Chandler basically locked.

Darcy to Witts/English/DCam a possibility, Witts in would require a boost.

Ridley will only be traded out if he goes sub 90 which I will likely trade him to Naicos or potentially LDU. LDU would require a boost to get in.

Flanders can either go to Worpel/Setterfield/Rachele which requires a boost or down to Phillipou or a rookie that looks better.

Possibly another of Baker/Chesser/Greene to a rookie.

I’m hoping I don’t need to use a boost and can save them for upgrade season (5 boosts for rounds 6-12 ideally)

Hopefully no Sunday carnage which is very unlikely.

Extremely late to the party but Sheezel is the biggest lock of all locks for one of my trades. Would have got on board this round if not for the Fyfe late out.

D Cameron will come in for Gawn. The other trade will be one of Callaghan or Mackenzie with their final audition to take place this afternoon.

So. Many. Options.

At this stage I could see myself shorting a premium down to Daicos and using the extra funds to go Jones up to Ziebell. A simple sideways of Chesser/Greene to Chandler also makes sense.

I want to trade Darcy to English but with so many options, I think that's low priority, especially with his next match up being against the Eagles.

Steele likely trade:

anyone with J Kelly (like me, hooray 😃), maybe hold him, wear the one rookie score and hold the trade for Steele?
Thank you for posting. Might hold Kelly now and reverse the Coniglio to Kelly trade and instead use a boost for Chesser and Flanders to Callaghan and Davey. This will open the fwd/mid swing with Phillipou next round and allow a second boost to be used for H Clark, J Steele and T Bruhn to N Daicos, S Coniglio and J Ziebell.

Fyfe > Ziebell

Not sure about anyone else at this stage. I don't have Chandler but is he really a must have?
Not a must have imho.

Just a "nice to have" if planets align and carnage avoided (Gawn, Steele, Hodor,Fyfe etc)

Atm steele to n daicos seems very likely.

I didnt see freo v north. Its very likely I do a young to maybe ldu or darcy to darcy cameron. Dont know. Might have to watch some of the match.

Should be able to afford greene or chesser to ziebell. I have 181k atm.

Steele as well after Jelly :confused:
Hello LDU I guess?

Meanwhile in other news I think it's pretty simple... Jackson and Bytel out for Daicos and Chandler.

Ziebell looks very good value though with DPP coming as well, might need to consider how that plays out :unsure:
