Is Scott or Young to Hind a completely dumb trade even if my mid bench at the moment is :

Clarke , Scott , Hayden

and would then have Westhoff & Setterfield on my F bench

Have 6 trades left need to use 1 on Duursma - > Ruck and find a M8 (Hanners maybe)

Young - > Hind
Duursma - > Ruck
Scott - > Hannebery

This week could be tricky
Def; two rookies
Mid; Hanners, hind, bunch of fallen premos
Fwd; Menegola?
Interesting...
was planning $200-$250k Rookie+Duursma> Hurn+Logue... but might swing something different....

Double upgrade fun times for me this week as I went early on Logue
Hore and Duursma thanks for your service but now is the time. I think I can afford hurn and Neale thanks to their poor weeks but i will do a bit of research before i lock in my choices.... I like Oliver and Yeo too. Settling on that final mid choice is tough!

don't love it Herbie given you have few trades. Hard to say you will be able to crystallise the money he makes and Clarke is likely to be your go to back up player.

Setterfield feels a waste and given his higher price, if you could move him on for a rookie that would be better.

An alternative is to either bring in Swans Rose for Setters or set up a mid/fwd rookie for setters and instead of Hanners you go a DPP midfielder or push one of your mids to the midfield and bring in a fwd you like. If you face an injury then Clarke covers both mids and fwds.

I did move Hayes (M10) on, however, my trade situation is different. I still have Scott, Burgess and now Gardener, Young providing elite loophole opportunities! equally, I will move higher priced rookies to bring in the Naish/Hately/Hind type players where possible and will trade Burgess if facing a donut and no other options.

Reckon I'll bring Logue in, need to work out which of Hore, Smith and Duursma it's for though.

Was also planning on getting Neale, but might reconsider that given his recent scoring and high BE. Not sure whether that means I'll wait for him, or just bring in someone else for my last mid upgrade (Treloar?)

Other option is bringing in Hurn but he hasn't bottomed out either

Thanks for that, yeah I will run a few things around tonight, hopefully Westhoff returns soon to provide cover at F7 , maybe Young reappears.

My # 1 priority this week will be turning Duursma into a ruckman I am happy with.

Think I am happy to wait and see what Hanners does in his next game then make a decision on my final mid.

Don't mind trying to hold Setters for a few more $$$, has got 4 x 60's in his last 5 games so maybe he has a few 80 + games in him

Hind looked good yesterday, but maybe Dunkley, Owies & Cavarra etc etc are on the horizon soon.

Have too much deadwood on my bench in Gardner, Scott, Hayden , Bines & Young.

Cheers

Hore or Duursma to Logue.

The one I keep with Logue will be D6 hopefully looping with Logue when Naish is dropped.

It has to be Hore I keep doesn’t it?
Hore this week for me, Duursma following week. Hore I think will have the higher BE. If keeping one, maybe Hore as he has shown better scores over time.
