Which of the following options
1)
Goater -> N.Daicos
Macrae -> Setterfield
Chesser -> Chandler (via Davey)
70k in Bank
Leaves me with (Doc, Ridley, Daicos / Oliver, Bont, Green / Darcy, Marshall / Dunkley, Rozee, Taranto, Cameron as premiums)
2)
Ridley -> Daicos
Macrae -> LDU
Chesser -> Chandler (via Davey)
180k in Bank
Leaves me with the same as above but replace Ridley premium with LDU premium.
3)
Ridley -> Daicos
Darcy -> English
Chesser -> Chandler (Via Davey)
60k in Bank.
Leaves me with same as option 2 but English + Macrae instead of Darcy + LDU for this week.
Would look to get LDU in the following week if I did option 1 or 3.

In the mix, R3: Who’s under the pump, pushing for selection?

I think I like option 1 from that group. I’m trading in the same 3 players this week myself. Ridley has saints this week and defenders have been scoring decent against them so maybe hold him and see what his role looks like this week, also note it’s worth watching the severity of BZT injury.
I managed to get lucky with starting LDU, but I’d be a little cautious trading him in these next few weeks, I’m expecting a tag these next 2 weeks with Maginness and Curnow, who are both 2 of the better taggers and runners in the league, then he has Brisbane after that who have a very strong midfield. I still think he will be a top 10 mid this year, but not expecting him to set the world on fire like he’s started the season over these next couple of weeks

Darcy > DCam
Esava > Worpel
Leaves me with 5k itb.
Fortunately/Unfortunately I don't have any other bust picks this year, so no avenue to Setterfield or Ziebell.
Now just tossing up if it's worth using a boost to go Docherty > Daicos, it just feels so wrong, I've always been GnR player, so trading a bloke out that hasn't even been going poorly is very foreign to me.
But I think that's just how the game is now that we have extra trades and boosts available.
It would make it very easy to get Bowes next week if required...

So with this side I'm thinking my first locked in trade is Steele to Daicos. For the second, Goater/Bytel (if he isn't named) up to Setterfield seems appropriate. As for the third, I'm thinking one of Greene/Comben for Chandler, but I'm unsure if that's a waste or which to trade out (Chesser is the other option, but I don't like how it unbalances the side, and Chesser might be useful handcuffed to Ginbey.
You can get LDU and Daicos without trading Doc though.
Try:
Gawn > Cameron
Neale > LDU
Flanders > Daicos via Davey and Chesser
You are losing Neale instead of Doc but you are getting LDU instead of Setterfield and not going into round 4 with 900k in the bank (which is a lot of money to have not doing you any good for a week or however long it takes you to spend it. Especially early in the year)
Having said that.... Your midfield is pretty bloody strong already, with Hollands as your first sub offering you maybe 70. Do you need LDU right now? My focus would be on those forwards. Fyfe, Flanders, Greene and Comben are not looking like doing you any favours. Really, they are looking more like boat anchors at the moment.
Your issue down back is Chesser but he's on the bench so isn't urgent. Your mids are fine. You have a ruck to fix. You are leaking points up forward and have two dodgy bench options likely to make you nothing really slowly. On bench so they aren't critical but there is a rookie on offer in Chandler that should sort you out the cash faster. You've got 166k bank and at a glance, all the good rookies but Chandler.
I'd say your first priority is Gawn, then your 2nd and 3rd priorities are forwards.
So Gawn > Cameron leaves about 320k
Flanders/Fyfe > Ziebell leaves either 280k or 220k
Greene/Comben > Chandler sideways
This way you fix your ruck injury and you halve the Fyfe/Flanders problem. If one of them is missing, you can either trade them for the cash boost this round from the other, or even trade the selected player so you can loop your forward bench because you kinda need to. It' really weak. Either way, Chandler projects as being a tidy F6 for you in the opening rounds. You should have only 220 - 280k doing waiting for the next round where you can look at correcting Fyfe/Flanders into Bowes maybe or I dunno, there's another couple like Croxier who missed round 1 and you get to take a look at. Don't forget Kozzy will be back for round 4 with a round 5 trade in maybe on the cards.
The issue is that you miss the big shiny player this week in LDU, Daicos and Setterfield. But face it, you were missing 1 of them anyway because of Gawn and, because you were swapping Doc for Daics and because your onfield midfield is already full, the benefit from bringing in LDU or Setterfield is marginal. You can't afford LDU without losing another premium and fielding Setterfield over Hollands/Mackenzie should only be in the order of 20 - 40 points for an extra 200k spent. I think that ZB offers significantly better prospect of returns than Flanders/Fyfe fo not much more coin and Greene/Comben > Chandler is a no-brainer.
HTH. Yours is a good puzzle. Gawn getting hurt has made me thankful I did the boost in round 1. I haven't had any injuries to worry about in round 2 (maybe Hopper) but had I have not boosted in round 1 and copped an injury in round 2 it would have stuffed me right up. Not liking being down to 30 trades already though

With so many 'new' toys available, I'm having to choose my favourite 3 to buy, hopefully I don't get bored with them too soon like the JHF experience last round!
As I'm going for my favourite trio which best serve the makeup of my team, I have to trade in something in order to attain this. I had hoped that Freoshaw would fire out of the block based on their early fixture but alas him and his teammates are still stuck on the starting grid so I'm not carrying any passenger forward at this point.
OUTs: Freoshaw, Chesser & Jones
INs: Daicos, Ziebell & Cox
The first 2 trades are pretty self explanatory. Watching Jones in the opening 2 rounds is like waiting for a bomb to go off, early injury sub R1 and early concussion test R2. I don't want to have to make that '3rd strike and you're out' decision later on so boosting him up to Cox.
I feel that Jones will score okay and make money in that role IF he stays on the park. However, Cox gives me an upgrade on that without the fear factor plus being at a higher base makes leapfrogging to a FPs easier when the opportunity arise.

DO you know the worst thing about my team and everyone else's team after this week?
We could have all started with these teams, not like in my case were I have already used heaps of trades to get here 😥
There really is a need for need extra preseason games to get the information we need to put together a team.
