Looks like another week away for Chesser, interesting call to make now, think Weddle leads a **** pack now hes held with CJ and a key defender coming in.

Dont see much inside time for Knevitt with the side that's named and Atkins feels pretty dodgy with Long going out with a minor injury and Weller still to come back in.
Im thinking Homes has first crack at Dangers role with Knevitt playing wing, with a few cameos at the stopages.?

Think i need to watch last weeks Cats game.

Position leading into this round:

Seems obvious to get Oliver but the news about how far off Touk is has me reconsidering Noah Anderson. Likely to go ballistic this round, can come straight in as VC, has the golden bye, and might even hold the number 1 role if they ease Touk back in later.

Getting both him and Oliver might just be out of reach though... would require going early on say, Drury, and also sacrificing Hopper. Much as there's debate about whether to let Ashcroft go or not, Hopper is consistently about 20ppg better and isn't facing an uphill battle just to hold value this week.

Started roughly around Oliver, Atkins, 540k (I'll use Powell here for convenience but it can be any DEF or MID in that range), which would require me to give up Hopper, Ashcroft, and Callaghan. Then Drury instead of Atkins let me use Chandler instead of Hopper.

But I could instead go Anderson, Powell, Knevitt. Keeps Hopper, sets me up beautifully for the byes, 3 rookies on field, and I can have a look at two scores Friday night. I actually love it.

But no Oliver...

The other issue is it means I can't react to Marshall being a late out and I'll cop a donut. But in isolation Marshall to Gawn is not a good trade right now and I'd feel foolish if I talked myself into it and Marshall got up. I'm also hardly going to be out on my own if that does happen, Marshall in over half of all teams...
Callaghan, Hollands > Knevitt, Anderson would be my move in your situation. Leaves you with 87.5k.

Means you can easily loop Knevitt this round first game with Wilmot using Johnson as the donut as well.

Preferably wouldnt like to get any one in the rd 15 bye, would prefer rd 13

Soooo that would mean Anderson or Stewart in that range

But is there anyone else that im missing that could be up and coming?

Anyone gonna risk bringing in Gould? lol

Any Swans supporters know any info on his JS or whether he will get a good run in the team? Or is he only playing because Tom McCartin is injured?
Also looking for an answer to this.

McCartin missed rounds 5 & 6 due to concussion too didn't he? Out again with concussion symptoms despite no head knock last week.
Francis in the side who's probably just as likely to get dropped whenever McCartin gets back you'd think.

Been used as the sub twice, but his PPM isn't too bad (0.6), both of those games were blow outs too.
Swans smacked Tigers in the fourth quarter, and the Swans got spanked against Geelong, so not worried about scoring power.

Really considering boosting Hollands to Gould this week to enable a double upgrade next week.

With miller out for at least 8 weeks.. Anderson would be my go. Low break even.. He'll take off this week even higher. Stewart higher chance of dropping, even if he doesn't, won't increase by much with that 120be

Brayshaw v Gulden for trade in.

Gulden the safe pick but want to save two fwd spots for two of Walsh/Gawn/Trac.

Brayshaw one good game that was against hawks

Maybe I get neither and go Anderson with Touk out for 8? hmmmm

Unusually indecisive this week

Really unhappy with my trades this week.

Out: Setterfield, O Baker
In: Stewart, Bailey Humphrey

Wanted to boost and bring in 2 premos, but they were going to end up sub-premo, and I was going to have to go early on Drury to make it happen. Instead I've brought Stewart back, with an eye on his good bye.

Humphrey is not on the bubble. He's 10k below his bubble price and still has that -3 in his cycle. But I am gambling on him having been a goalkicker as a junior and facing a poor Eagles side that he cashes in and posts a spike score. (And hoping his mid 50 score last week was the beginning of him feeling comfortable at this level. Also hoping that his bye situation also is useful (assuming he hangs around)

I don't feel good about it at all, and have all sorts of Ginbey and Humphrey loops set up to allow me to take or avoid pending the scores tomorrow

Struggling this week. Got cash in the bank, but paralysed by indecision... any advice would help. Need to get Dawson and Oliver in. View attachment 56837
Out: Ashcroft , Van Rooyen and Ratugolea
In: Oliver, Dawson (via Rozee) and Drury

Achieves the above but a possibility that a solid return on investment is not achieved given the high entry price and the flow on effects for further upgrades if cash generation stalls.
