Would question whether you are losing ground….yes you may be keeping the same amount of premiums but your are improving your position in order to add either cash or get a better scorer on field which will net you more points…
both of those trades I would question….Macrae and Dale could be impacted by Libba and richards returning to the original roles and therefore render The trade pointless with minimal points gain…
Only way I trade out Steele is to get one of the top tier Merrett, Rowell , Bont or Heeney types…

Dont see it as wasteful if you are clearly going to make cash out of the trade as opposed to holding onto/ losing cash on a rookie that has peaked in price…
Correct either a fwd or mid rookie with high breakeven and move livingston up forward and use emergency to get a glimpse at first rookie score on bench…

Thanks for the reply.
Yeah I suppose there is a risk Dale & Macrae don't fire, but there is also still upside both average 95-100 from here and you pocket 115-140K that can be put towards a double upgrade next week.
I question whether there is upside on a Steele sideways trade to a Merrett type, when it allows someone who already owns Merrett (instead of Steele) to additionally bring in Rowell this week and get an extra premium ahead of you. Then you are playing catch up on them until the byes.

I think if he was a forward it might be possible, but I think the bar for 'keeper' defenders is much higher. What do you see him averaging, probably needs ideally to be averaging 100+, the top 12 are currently going 100+, so I think he needs to average significantly higher than currently to be worth it.
I agree, he is probably a bad miss, but not sure IMO he is worth it now, I just think he is not at the level that he will not be traded again.
Edit: Pretty much what @Ben's Beasts said.

Sweet at $150k is in a different ballpark altogether than Comben.
Comben has “only” made $72k, and isn’t looking like making a hell of a lot more if he middles at 60s scores. Hypothetically, you could’ve saved $100k and invested it elsewhere by going early on Biggy that week, given up a few (minimal) points the last two weeks if required on field, plus taken a $50k rise last week on Biggy.
Bit still to play out there with Comben, particularly if he can produce a score to reignite cash generation this week. But Sweet is a completely different beast to him.

Here is my team below:
Really torn on best way to bring in Sweet, i don't have Livingstone, therefore cant trade a fwd & swing Livingstone fwd for Sweet, really dont want to get rid of Naismith either as he has more cash to make & have to actually pay up to get Sweet, would have to trade Grundy to Sweet, but then can't really look at Sweet's score, would have to start him onfield.
Am also biting the bullet and trading Steele to either Merrett or Dawson. Only one spot left in mids for either Merrett or Petracca if i bring in Dawson tonight for Steele.
Thanks for any advice.
