3 weeks is a long time to hold a premium specifically if going for overall rank
Copping both Cripps & Wines as 2 mid premos out this early is rough man, my sympathies.
It is in most years, but in my case I now have JHF & Daicos at M8&9, by keeping Cripps I get Daicos score onfield. So I don't feel like it's adding points to use a trade in the mids. I really would to like to trade up in Defence, but even there Hinge, Bowey, SDK and PaddyMac all have money to make. NOD is very tempting as downgrade though.... Going to be a tough week decision wise

With the NN news, I am tempted to go Hinge > NOD, Cripps > Dixon (move Dunkley into the mids) which would give me over 500K in the bank for upgrades.

With rookies like Ward, Stephens, MacDonald, etc stalling so early with their cash generation I think someone like Dixon who just had his JS skyrocket & can score so well in his current role is almost a must have.

Cripps out move cogs to mid, Dixon in, Hinge to Hall. 100k in the kitty 😺

Is Ryder possibly suspended (missed that completely)?
Any chance they bring Hayes back? He could cover ragin Brayden...
Was talk last night that it might be looked at , haven't seen any updates today though.

do u think its worth it to go from skinner to NOD and cripps to say heeney or tom green?
Skinner could return (wait for teams) , most people will be talking about bringing in Petracca & Oliver in the next rounds so that might be a Cripps option.

Plenty of other premium mids about to drop in price as well.

Not sure if Green will be Top 10 mid personally.

Cripps to someone who is about to get F/M status is another option as well

I should l d be conserving trades but I'm feeling edgy for the boost button! Cripps, Xerri, Benning to Steele, Nod (via Rachele), Dixon. With nic nat out i have no choice but to get Dixon. Hopefully i can field 6 in the backline?

Interesting trade scenario this week. Will possibly roll with.............

Cripps to Preuss. Yep, I know about his suspension, but this saves a trade for next week. -91 B/E, plenty of money to make while sitting at R3.
Sinn to Sicily. In some strife with defenders and the round 12 bye. Wanted to jump on Sinclair last week but just cannot afford to run another round 12 defender. This also allows me to hold Hinge if it's just a corky.

Happy with the T Dow trade in last week for Stephens, can hopefully hold up a on field mid rookie spot for a while, looked solid for the Tigers

Do we have a price projection for Oliver? BE of 162, 76 average against GWS.

Hinge to NOD if more than a cork, maybe bank cash and hold trades and move Brodie to mid and then Cripps to Oliver next week, however it may take another week for Clarry to fully bottom out, by which point Cripps may be close to fitness again......hmmmm

Looking at price projections on Footywire

End of Round 6

Miller 596,700
Petracca 567,000

End of Round 7 (Trade Boost time)

Steele 616,900
Bont 586,400
Oliver 556,300

Currently Neale , Macrae , Cripps 🚑

Now to work out how/when to upgrade 5 of the following 6:-

Brodie (or F) , Rowell , Daicos (or D) , JHF (or F), Berry / Rachele

Notebook could get a hammering over the next few days

Might very well do Cripps > Gawn (after trading him out last week) should he look likely to miss 2+

It’s dirty but the big man looked ridiculous last week. No other midfielders are really tickling me when looking at options sub 600k…
