Cameron and Callaghan to English and Phillips/Bytel (depending on who is named). Pretty certain I'm not trading myself out of points for the first time this season (mainly because Cameron would be a donut and Phillips/Bytel will be on the bench).

Current trades for round 4 looking like:

Cameron to English
Callaghan to ….. a cardboard cut out if I have to just to get him out of my team…
Cardboard cutout would be more likely to actually go at the contest or try and tackle.

Don't know why coaches play guys that are so injured they have to actively run away from contact, not sure how it helps the player develop or the team to win games, just let the kid heal instead.

Sad to watch as well with a player so talented but already developing significant mental issues because he can't go for the ball or the opponent and now starting to impact his disposal because he's so afraid of anyone touching him that he's hearing footsteps from the moon.

Will try to sit on my hands this week.

Rowston is an interesting one ($139,800 MID) as he's getting 60% CBA's and seems they'll stick with him while Perryman is out. Perryman listed 4-6 away last week, so probably 3-5 this week. 3 price rises probably not that enticing (and the main problem is no rookies have peaked in price to make the downgrade worthwhile)

Long ($178,800 MID/FWD) is harder to stomach after a $61.5K price rise, but his job security is better than ever and hasn't gone under 60 this year. A similar issue in that hard to downgrade from anyone.

Don't think I'll chase Day ($402,600 now) and LDU is still a bit of a query with the calf, considering I was trying to resist anyway.

I'm definitely scared of Grundy up against Williams this week, but I can't sideways Marshall to him and think he's only a short-term play.

Season spiralling out of control, tbh. Oh well, them's the breaks.

Cameron > Grundy, which I don't like as an option, would honestly prefer to play Ratugolea and strengthen elsewhere, but don't have a DPP swing and don't want to leave Cameron idle on the bench for a week / use a boost and third trade.
Callaghan, the sheepish lion > Nick Daicos, which locks in a disadvantange vs those already on him

Leaving $400 left in the kitty.

There's a lot of decent POD options around Callaghan's price point:
Joel Amartey $223,000 FWD AVG 100 (2 games) BE -72
Jack Buckley $275,900 DEF AVG 91.3 (3 games) BE -40
Sam Petrevski-Seton $281,600 FWD AVG 94 (2 games) BE -27
Hayden Crozier $218,500 DEF AVG 72.5 (2 games) BE -20
Mitch Owens $297,800 FWD AVG 83 (3 games) BE -2
Massimo D'Ambrosio $277,500 DEF AVG 78.5 (2 games) BE 2
Liam Stocker $258,900 DEF AVG 72.7 (3 games) BE 4

Then you have some more popular options:
Jack Bowes $277,500 DEF AVG 84.5 (2 games) BE -10
Liam Jones $236,300 DEF AVG 49.7* (3 games) BE -9
*AVG of 72 when not including the injury affected game

Leaning towards Buckley, still don't trust Amartey's JS.

Got 240k in the bank and Worpel just soiled the bed. LDU has given us another shot at bringing him in so uf he's picked, I'll just make the one trade
Want to do exactly that but I'm short 7k to do it in 1 trade, probably will have to add Chesser to make it happen

Chesser to Phillips is really the only one I need to do. Cumming is doing POD things by being utterly ****e, so potentially him to Doch who has dropped even more cash but scores better. Rowston is the the other one to consider if one of my other rookies gets dropped.

Keep calm and try not stuff things up.

I'll probably just do Chesser to Phillips. I'd like to get rid of Hayden Young, but I don't see any options I can afford that would be definitely better, so I think I'll just hold.

Out: D Cameron and J Horne-Francis
In: L Davies-Uniacke and W Phillips

JHF to Phillips is a luxury but brings Chandler on the field and gives me a cash buffer as we approach upgrade season.

Have seen overall ranking go from 87k to 45k to 19.6k with aggressive trading strategy.
