Yeah I'm doing that as well, have a spare trade to use and reading about Gaff complaining about the style of game not suiting him, even thou plenty of other wingers are still scoring well doesn't fill me with confidence.
Bit of a poor week from me but thankfully it doesn't hurt the league too much as I'm also in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th ranked leagues as well.

I actually made that exact move last week, as I saw the writing on the wall, even if it was just off the back of one game. So thankfully I don't have that particular headache to deal with this week.
But I have another dilemma in its place not owning Jordon, Highmore, Berry or Warner and only two trades available obviously. Jordon appears the the No 1. priority and perhaps Highmore after that, especially now that Sharp has been dropped. So I will miss out on both Berry and Warner which is unfortunate as they both have great roles and fairly good JS.
I do have some decent midpricers in their place such as Hep-D (who hopefully plays?), Impey and Fantasia along with other popular ones like JZ, Clark and Young plus Fleek at R2/3.
So I guess you can't have everything in this game and just have to be content enough to miss out somewhere. After all I'm off to a solid start ranked 88th. But in hindsight I probably should've structured my side around fielding one more rookie in the mids and one more premo, probably in defence in place of Clark or Young.

Could not have asked for a better start with everyone scoring a ton. Magnificent debut by Tex who replaced Jones and meant I did not have to field a Powell/Rowe type. Top 10 here I come!
Played: B Grundy (C), J Macrae, J Dunkley, J Ziebell, R Sloane, R Laird and T Walker.
Yet to play: J Short, D Martin, E Gulden, B Campbell, C Warner, O Fantasia, A Brayshaw (Freo), S Docherty, J Kelly, T Taranto, M Flynn, J Jordon, T Stewart, T Phillips and J Clark.

Getting absolute bailed out here by Gaff.
I had every intention of trading him to Oliver with my second trade ... BE of 210, having scored 70 and then 60. Press reports suggesting he just couldn’t get into the game due to the rule changes.
Life gets in the way, I misread the schedule and think I have until tomorrow to do the trade ... then I realize Gaff has locked out. Huge price drop locked in, and I can barely even find a passable use for my second trade.
Then Gaff goes and racks up 36+ touches and 154+ DT!
Sometimes it’s much better to be lucky than smart.
