Early thinking is:
Out: Coffield, Lazzaro & either Hogan/Martin
In: Powell, D'Ambrosio, Dempsey
Outs...
Coffield could be Reid as basically looking to shed 1 dead weight back rookie. Both have similar looping draws so the tie breaker is Reid has slightly better cash gen prospects if I'm still holding him when he's back. In all likelihood whoever of the 2 I hold will be traded to a better rookie on another line once DPP additions come in.
Lazzaro I'm spewing on because he looked much better on the weekend and was on track for a decent score before being subbed. But at his price, I can't afford sub risks and all my other rookies are much better positioned or have lower BE's. So he's basically my worst one and it comes down to whether I get Dempsey or keep faith in Lazzaro. 2 games in, Dempsey looks the better bet.
Hogan/Martin is a case of points this week vs cash gen impacts. Martin likely sheds a few dollars this week but could give me a 90+ score. Hogan has no value this week (can't loop with him as have Sexton and Berry on the bench) but with a 34 BE he won't lose money and has a match up against GC who could give up some goals. The Hogan gamble hasn't paid off how I hoped but decided to try and aggressive risk give the trades this year and the relative lack of other corrections I was being forced into (wouldn't have got him if I had Young, Dawson, Newcombe, etc). This will probably be my biggest headache all week!
Ins...
Powell looks great, love the role and can see him making reasonably good cash over the next month plus is a very outside chance of holding F6 if he can keep up some good scoring. Seems a solid selection at his price point.
D/Ambrosio there is nothing to say about, wanted to get one more look at him, and I'm happy with the pick. Seems like he should be reasonably safe scoring and keep ticking along with cash gen. This is probably the trade in that is vulnerable if I can take him up to someone else or there are other more obvious targets.
Dempsey mostly covered in the Lazzaro line, seems a better option for cash gen and I really liked how he pushed up and worked into the game vs the crows after a slower start. Just seems a real talent that complements their forward set up and there is no reason not to get bulk game time into him as part of the cats transition. No brainer!
