Operation "TOM GREEN"

Was easier than I thought.
Fyfe to Darcy.
Jordon to Green.

Boost scenario could be the obvious - Coffield to Draper.
However Short is a huge issue. Do I rip the band-aid off and go with a straight swap to Jordan Clark or NWM ?
Unsure on this.
It’s become a bit like that hasn’t it. I feel like Steele/Touk probably make more sense at a good chunk cheaper but cant put a price on closing off a pod like Green.

With Hore now joining the long line of defender rookies on the sidelines, I cast my mind back about a month before Rd0 and remember a coach putting up a team in RMT with a 5 deep defence, I really hope he went through with it because he’d be well ahead of the pack right now as we’re all putting out spot fires.

I started a 5 premium defence and it didn't help me - mainly because 2 of them were Short & Hayden Young!

I'm way back in the field, sitting at just under 50,000 :(:( (but after R1 I was at 99,000 - so it could be worse)
I have been trading to build a kitty and have $364K at the moment.
The plan when I got here was to upgrade Jordon to Green, which I obviously can achieve, but I'm starting to change my thinking.
I might just adopt the Perry Como strategy and go for a pocketful of fallen stars.
That will mean boosting again.. if I go
Owens -> Max King
T. Berry - > S. Darcy
Howes -> Bramble
I'll have a bank of nearly $406K next week.
Thats when the long string of IFS kicks in..
Footywire has Dawson dropping to about $560, so hoping he doesn’t go berserk and that Jordon goes well against WCE… so that will be the first star..⭐️
If Maguiness can restrict Daicos, I might then just about be able to get him for Fyfe the week after.⭐️
Then I’ll see if there‘s a way to reach Oliver..⭐️ 😍

Yes that’s always the killer by going deep in a certain line-you’ve got to get them right to start with or you’ll be sideways trading, having said that though you’ve probably saved trsdes by not having Gibcus, Reid, Coff, McDonald and now Hore.?

If Howes scores over 50 (low bar) on Thursday I’ll take his score on field. If not can trade to Brown or Draper.

Planning zero trades next week and then hopefully H Reid and Z Williams to rookie and Daicos.

With the Wines news I'm seriously thinking of flicking him to Willem Drew, has a BE 18 and is doing the job that I started Wines for, has 2 big 100's to cycle through and is only 1% owned. Have a feeling that a POD like this could revert back to 80's which would screw the show

Traded Bramble in last week, but he may go this week to get me up to Tom Green or Luke Ryan. Thoughts?

Definitely not, surely you have others that could be moved on instead. Ryan and Green have a few tougher games to come, Brisbane's fixture really opens up this week after their bye so Dunkley or Neale could be a play if you're struggling for funds.
