When I originally brought him in rd2 I was hoping he’d be the longer term rookie that I could move on last as his scores keep me afloat. The scores the couple weeks before made it hard, but that 94 definitely makes things easier to stay the course.
Probably start moving on guys like Carroll and Sanders. Need a 2nd rookie target to downgrade to as I already have Clohesy. May just go to Comben if he backs up last week’s performance today.

Probably get Hayden Young back. Think I'd put him at D4 for the season behind Ryan, Sheezel, Daicos. Last two slots I'd guess are between Stewart, Martin and Houston. Sicily doesn't look interested this year. Annoyingly own Whitfield who needs 30 to scrape a tonne.
Carroll>Young
Sexton>Graham
If Comben looks good then will boost him in for Jhye Clark. Crouch I'm guessing is out for 1-2 weeks with susp so going to hold and still flip him on the last bye. Going to give Sanders another go, unfortunately coach by a lunatic.
Would love to have Ryan and Merrett but they are so expensive

TBH I think that the rookie crop this year (so far) will suffice, F4, F5 & F6 could well be filled by Zorko, Baker & Powell, plus the cheap starting players like Heeney, Jackson and Flanders. That's a fair bit different to what we had to stump up last year. Maybe the same could be said for D5 & D6 with the likes of Young and Martin.
That would be a great idea if I was smart and actually traded in Darcy & Dempsey when they were on the bubble 😀
Currently running :-
Heeney , Jackson , Flanders , J Cameron , Powell & M King
Darcy & Dempsey keep going 80+ , see how Comben follows up today very easily fill F4-6 until the multi Bye rounds.
Darcy could touch $ 400k.
Interesting to see who the Top forwards end up being at the end of the season , good to see KPF up amongst it and not just picking 6 mids for our forward line.
Martin is averaging just short of Daicos , so once DPP kicks in he looks likely Top 10.
Traded Young out the same time I traded Martin out so haven't been tracking his scores since.
Again some different names in defence (so far) that no one was talking about pre season , how long they can maintain it though.

The conundrum for me is whether I continue on the path of eliminating rookies from the field (will have 3 on field after round 7) or hold fire until the main byes given that Roberts, Clohesy, Graham, Reid, Dempsey and Darcy all look like fieldable options. If I do go down the 2nd path then it also makes sense (for my team) to bring in a FD and take advantage of the Dempsey/Darcy loop and the Roberts/Graham/Reid loop. Clohesy would come onto the field if I cash out Massimo or Williams
Definitely some interesting choices coming up for coaches with the likes of Walsh appearing , Petracca and Green dropping , I also don't mind Dunkley and Gulden as mid options.
Can we all resist Dawson , LDU , Oliver & Petracca ?
Can't get them all and without cash it limits things.
The hard part can be staying on your own path and not getting "distracted" by what others are doing and then wondering why you can't do the same.
Some will have a trade plan in place , others will just spend all their money ASAP and then wonder why they are limited in a few rounds time.
I guess I was hoping the likes of D'Ambrosio , McKercher , Roberts , Sanders , Sharp , Williams would score well enough to get around that $ 350-375k mark.
Still need a lot of cash though to get them to ultra premiums.
One poor score slows the whole process though , although a good score (then backed up again) kick starts it again.
A fine balancing act as to when to hold or let go.
I think the Best 18 rounds have been good this year , the very good coaches will start forging ahead in the Round 7-11 block.

Went early on Clohsey.
This may change but may forgo Comben in to get an upgrade.
Sanders, Carroll and Clark for Mcauliffe(if named as starting this game and gets a 60+) Graham and Touk. Wouldn't be able to get in an upgrade doing Comben instead of Mcauliffe and not ready to cull many of my other rookies yet.
Can also keep Sanders and just get Graham and Comben in but don't trust Bevo.
Edit: Forgot about Richmond bye and also have Mckercher to deal with now.
