Another fun trade week...
About 12 "issues" in my side
Young - Have to assume misses at least 1... Hopefully not 2-3 but realistically 2 if there's any actual hammy strain and not awareness...
Stewart - Will hold.. just misses the 1 week you'd think
Massimo - Subbed out for no reason..
preferable hold.. Can at least sit on the mid bench this week as no room on the defender bench!
Williams - Actually sounds a chance to play... Otherwise I have to trade him as not going to cop a donut! BE is at 62 anyway...
Pink - Wouldn't have counted him as an issue but need all hands on deck in defence this week!
Sharp - Wanted to sell last week, at least got his $35K increase. Still want to sell, BE 72. Others may keep him in again..
Clark - $154K and a BE of 75... He's a hold with other issues and no $ to be made.
Jackson - I want to prioritise trading him out (BE: 141) but he may escape yet again... No interest in holding for the season.
McKay - The least of my worries after a 101... In an ideal world though, doesn't last much longer...
Darcy - BE is only 32, he can stay for now...
Cadman - BE is only 36, he can stay for now but I'd cash him in if things work out well somehow with all the other issues.
On the buy radar:
Ryan - Not really on my radar at his price, Daicos more of a priority.
Daicos - Have to assume I will be grabbing him this week. I still don't think his fixture is that great, but needed a body in defence (if Williams misses) - he makes the most sense to me.
Mullin - Not really on my radar but if he returns straight to the AFL team he's on the bubble this week.
Merrett - Too expensive for Athomas's Aces...
Butters - Ditto but great fixture coming up so he's a chance for me this week.
Steele - Will probably drop $ soon so I will wait and re-assess then.
Green - BE of 183 so not this week (or next) but keeping a spot for him I'd imagine...
Walsh - The decision of the week. I honestly had no interest but the $70K difference to Butters obviously makes a big difference. I grabbed him at the worst time last year (Round 10 from memory) so was burnt then. Can the back issues be ignored? Not sure...
McAuliffe - Big dillemna if he's named for Wednesday's game, as I would prefer Tunstill I think but won't know....
RGarcia - Not on the bubble and I expect Libba comes straight in anyway... But on the radar nevertheless.
Tunstill - Bailey still out, role probably isn't great (no CBA's) but on the bubble and I rate him. It's him or McAuliffe (or Mullin) so I will have to grab one.
It's a minefield deciding what trades, so will wait for further news on Young/Williams but I expect 1 of Tunstill/McAullife + Daicos will be my ins, a boost to Butters/Walsh possibly but may not be able to afford it anyway.
