I'm shopping for a mid premo and a def premo that have had their bye already...

Already own Brayshaw, so the options in the mids seem to look like Rowell, Anderson, Serong, Warner or Neale.
In defence Sinclair stands out, Luke Ryan maybe as a smokey maybe but a 5 round average of 90 makes it seem like that early season form was just a flash.

Serong and Sinclair probably? Saving $50k by going Anderson has some appeal, but Serong has been incredibly consistent.

Sinclair and Serong. Rowell would be close, but only if the Suns win, they seem to have a reasonable draw.
Serong this week, Oliver next week, or Bont the week after?
Depends how close you are to the top. If you will only end up with one by the end of the season, probably wait for Bont.
Lloyd (+$40k) or Sinclair?
Sinclair. Gone off Lloyd after last week. Very disappointing.

I'm at 20k in my first season in a decade. Trying to get a hang of the meta and building my knowledge for a more educated run at it next season. Been building nicely with 3x top 3k round finishes the last 3 weeks to move from 45k to 20k, but expect to be smacked hard these next two bye rounds, albeit everyone else probably will be too.
One of them in the next 3 weeks from Callaghan or Weddle and my bank, probably another in round 20 odd is my current thinking (Wardlaw/Ford/Fyfe should combine eventually if injuries don't swipe my last half dozen trades).

OR instead of waiting until after Bont's bye, I can just grab him now, r15 bye be damned, Callaghan was gonna miss that one anyway...

Windhager vs Deven Roberton

Tom Stewart vs Luke Ryan plus guarantee of being able to bring in Laird in two trads next week (will be very iffy with Stewart)

If Robertson is named, him, if not, Windhager I guess by default (also if named).

Stewart, you might get lucky on Laird, he seems the better pick of the two.

Hey guys, how would you rate the following players for overall points for the rest of the year?

Neale vs Brayshaw vs Serong vs Warner vs Rowell vs Anderson

I think I currently have it as:
Brayshaw > Neale > Serong > Rowell > Warner > Anderson
*Rowell and Anderson lower with Touk coming back*

Any strong thoughts either way?

No strong thoughts. Your order seems reasonable, and shouldn't be far off.

Serong slightly lower with injury concerns for mine but I can't argue too much. I have Neale top or I'd have taken Brayshaw instead but honestly I think they'll all be close enough to throw a blanket over barring injury.

If I trade Ratugolea to Madden in my ruck line I can trade S Mitchell to Neale with 5k to spare. Ends up being 5k short of Brayshaw, so perhaps the decision is made for me!

I am tempted to bring in Harry Himmelburg as well, which could be a +80k move from Sheezel. Both have the bye next week but prices going in opposite directions.
