I’m pretty keen too but feel like you need good bench cover to bring him in. I feel like it’s almost certain he will be rested.

I think I’m gonna give him 1-2 more weeks more in any case for more info. If he’s really turned it around, he’ll still be value at 350-360k.

I watched him on the weekend on thought he was better but he looks very slow, often caught HTB...
Good call re. waiting. Seems to be the logical decision at the moment

The draw is a bit of a nuisance this week. Wanting to trade Starcevich out and do an upgrade to Yeo but need the cash from a down grade trade to assist with that. Aarts was the likely target for that but he plays Sunday and with the Lions playing Thursday I need to do the Starcevich trade early. Might need to work H Jones into the calculations but Aarts might have better JS given the Tigers injuries.

In my thoughts for sure, suspect I end up with him

If I'm going there (ie cheap cheap cheap, but who I expect to play and improve) then I have a few more to consider

Rayner - has he turned the corner? Absolute elite junior. Looks in the best shape he's ever been.

Keays - Highly rated supercoach machine jr. Never clicked at first club, just working into it at Adelaide.

Jack Riewoldt - I don't know why I'd consider him, but 9 seasons at >80 until last year's limited season. Lynch may be out. Will surely have a massive spike game somewhere. 257k

Joe Daniher - not this week, but travelling to the hub apparently, so may be close?
Whaaaaaaatttttt????? My kids are stuck in Vic, the border is closing and now TJL out????

Out Brown & anor
In Whitfield & anor
Currently looking at Brown staying.
Starcevic & Budarick to Whitfield and Aarts.
Obviously subject to team drops and clubs playing rookie round a bouts.
Also haven't heard yet details of Rowells unavailability but if they put him together with sticky tape think i might show him the door as he has 154 BE and would have to be somewhat less effective for at least a few weeks if not the rest of the season.
Need to remember that when he was selected he was a cash cow and as such he has been superb.

My side is in all sorts.. Almost no bench cover.

Anyone know if Jones for WC is Def out? Did I see him sitting on the bench with ice on his hammy?

Looking at 2 to cover in FWD and 1-2 in mids.. dear o dear ?

I'm looking at getting rid of Ceglar. It's not that he scored badly but that he was playing as full forward and bench warmer. He's going to burn money.

Rowell - > Whitfield
Ceglar - > Aarts

Starcevich, Brown, Cameron, Brander, William's, Bennell, Budarick to hang around doing nothing for my team but watching my premiums spud up!

Pittonet -> Gawn next week if the season is still going.

Potentially a few of the boys could start losing some money real fast...may even be better for a couple of them to be dropped and benched while doing the BE jiggy jig on the others. Viney probably needs to either go this week or hold for another 4 rounds, conversely Ridley needs to come in this week, if not, then he just becomes another consideration for maybe whenever.
Whitfield always seems kind of "fragile", and yet he is now probably too good of value to miss so may have to grab him ahead of Greenwood.

* 6 onfield rookies (3 that are likely to leak cash if they are even picked)

* 5 x DNP's last round

* Rowell

* Greene , D Smith , Ceglar , TJL under achieving

* when/what to do with Pittonet

fix it a week at a time

Williams - > Aarts (via Brander)
Brown/Budarick - > Whitfield

wait for team announcements

Those with Ceglar: Anyone considering trading?
Aarts / H. Jones: Which? (Aarts better JS?)

For now, maybe:

Rowell > Whitfield
Budarick / Brown > Aarts
I would consider trading Ceglar if I didn't have any issues - one more week of him not playing solo ruck and I will be just about done with him. Am hoping Bailey Smith can be the obvious get out option there once he has lost some cash.

I think your trades look solid BTW
