Thanks @Diabolical.. sorry if I'm being thick, but can you explain the navigation path for the heatmap?
Back to Owens, that info indicates he's a bit too much of a fwd to maintain his current scoring (IMO) especially with some tougher oppositions coming up.
I think I might switch my focus to Kozzie, but I have a bad track record of going the wrong way on these sort of 50-50 moves.

He was in everything on Saturday night, a real purple patch. Flying across packs to clunk contested grabs, kicking freakish goals and handing a couple off. Explosive player.
I wouldn't pick a teenaged second-year forward at $363k off the back of an outlier 143. He had a career-best 19 contested disposals in a 9-goal win with Jack Steele watching on, he won't be doing that too often. The Saints forward structure will change significantly over the course of the season too (Membrey and Billings to return shortly, King and Hayes later) so plenty of uncertainty about role.

Current plan
Goater -> cheapest bubble boy (any line)
Witts -> English
Had been hoping to add 80k to the bank, with a view to starting upgrade season over the next couple of week, and instead I'm spending money on a sideways.
Anyone have any other thoughts?
I'd need 3 trades to turn something like Goater, Callaghan, Phillipou into Jackson, Ryan, McLean
That would keep Witts and move me towards a lineup shape that I'd want later in the season with Jackson the R/F swing in case of injuries, from F6/7. But I'd still be losing points, would lose a boost and also leave myself bereft of spare cash for upgrade season.
Otherwise can gamble on Ratagolea vs WCE (and on Witts being back next week). A pity Geelong isn't playing early.....

A similarly priced player, playing in the StK forward line, who had 132 last weekend is Jack Higgins. I'm thinking no one is picking him, but it's worth remembering that as a junior he was a supercoach scoring machine. Back to back tons, maybe he's found his role under Lyon? I'm in no way advocating, but there's only 1.6K between them. One is 19, and the other is 24, and how you see the differences in ages (ie perhaps tire and be rested, mature body, ready to breakout, no history of consistency etc etc) might influence how you see their value at the same price

Anyone considering Grundy in (for say Marshall) short term, to then flick to Gawn in (probably) 4 weeks after his zero has washed out? Grundy likely to get above $600k (currently $540k), and Gawn will end up sub $500k...cost two trades but potentially score an extra 100 points over the period...too creative / wasteful? Felt like a better idea before I started writing it down...
...actually Marshall playing against no ruck this weekend, forget I said anything

Option 4 seems quite DEF heavy, especially if you plan to switch Sheezel or Ziebell back (although I’m unclear on why this is so popular).
Option 1 looks by far the best if you think Ryan is a good rookie. English and Daicos both look like top liners.
I’m a bit unsure on Ryan - he got subbed off with two disposals in R3 - but can see the potential for good scoring if he gets some ruck time. Could you get JVR instead? Or Will Phillips or even M Johnson?
Option 2 and 3 both look okay. I’d rather compromise my premos outside of the ruck line if that’s the tradeoff.
