JH-F, Durdin, Rowell /Rosas, Preuss, Petracca. Due to the majic of DPP allows Xerri, Hayes, Gawn and Grundy on field. Now with many more players with DPP I have to teach myself how to use it properly when trading and deciding what players to play for the week. Eg, I found the above trades a bit difficult to achieve whilst shuffling players, got there but.

The Oliver in isn’t the reason for the question, it’s the Cogs out. What’s your reasoning behind that?

He’s currently 9th for total points for all forwards..
Desperate to get Oliver in..... don't trust Leon Cameron. Who know where Cogs will end up with Greene back in.

Risky move but happy to take a few chances. If I drop a few thousands spots in a few weeks will pull back a bit and focus on leagues

Those who are trading Hinge, if he is ready to go, is McCartin not the better back to cull? Is it Hinge's injury history?

The injury history isn’t great for either of them. We should all be well aware that one knock to the wrong part of Paddy’s head could literally end his career.

It’s the JS that’s the clincher for me. Hinge seems to have shaky JS while McCartin’s JS is rock solid.

At this stage:

Rowell, JHF and prob Stephens to

Premium (Trac, Steele, Parish)
Rosas

Can someone explain Preuss’ appeal apart from $$? does he have really good JS? (I don’t watch many GWS games) I’m not keen on having that many points on the bench each week, could be good cash gen though..

I have Gawn/Grundy so not going to trade any of them.

Cheers

JHF to Preuss is my only certain trade this week.

Tossing up a few options:

Trade out Hinge or McCartin?
Trade out Rowell or give him one more week?
Is Rosas worth it, or wait for Hobbs / Hayes?

McCartin is going nowhere from my team at D 5 for the moment. Solid v good player.

The appeal is really good and potentially really fast $$$. He also has the talent to average 100 as an R2 (which in this year's rucking pantheon is actually serviceable) with or without Flynn playing.

If you want to know whether Preuss is GWS best ruck then the answer is a definitive yes. The questions around him are fitness and being a dumbass who runs it close to getting himself rubbed out every week.

My thoughts;

Trade out Hinge
Trade out Rowell
Rosas is worth it, also look to trade in both Hayes and Hobbs on the bubble if both score well again this round

Trade out neither Hinge or McCartin if playing.
Trade Rowell for an upgrade only
Rosas appears to be worth it particularly to get Rowell up to a keeper. 2c

At 31 trades left is it wise to boost?
If i did boost it would be a 1 down 1 Sideways (but sort of a down as well, e.g Stephens >Preuss), 1 up
