Love the planning guys. Shows why you are both flying. Just not sure I can see the next few weeks as easily.
Like round 3, focus moving back to cash generation priority over all else. Dont think we need to go value yet and tom mitchell scoring is concerning. Prefer quality for now.
can see Frederick Bolton RCD and dusty in for Chapman Tex Rowe and Campbell/Mcneill by round 10. Unfortunately any other rookies free some cash yet not enough to upgrade, will then be two down one up.
By Round 10 will be premiums of 5 Def 6 Mids 2 Ruck and 4 Fwd. if cash generation exist looks ok to chase uber premiums still and maybe have 4-5 trades left.

Not sure May, Bolton or Hall really appeal anymore. I feel they're just convenient tbh.
Bolton has shown this season the odd sub 50 isn't out of his game and they can really hurt, understand he's in a purple patch but they turn sour for me quickly as I trade them in.
May is a good price but better options for me with 1 spot to fill.
Hall, role change looks good but something lingers at the back of my mind with him and do they persist with current structure if they are continually beaten.
Might look at Zorko, my forwards need another good scorer.
Is it just me or is this season full of ****e options.

If we can put together 4 quarters instead of fading out like we did against Melbourne we'll torch Collingwood purely on effort, so Hall might be safe 
.
At least it feels like we're getting games into the kids, trying some things and slowly getting better whereas the Holden Centre feels like a dark place to be at the moment.

Tossed around a few options this week. Looking for alignment with prems bottoming out and being able to bring in rookies to release cash.
Rnd 8 chapman/rowe > frederick/bolton 251k ITB after trades 18 trades left.
Stewart Ridley Docherty Laird Short Frederick*, Highmore Kosi
Macrae Oliver Merrett Walsh Brayshaw Powell Jordon dev Robertson, Clark, Scott, berry
Gawn Grundy Flynn
Zeibell Bolton* Impey Daniher, warner Farrer, Treacy, Brockman
considered May/Mills but gives me 6 def, more importantly I am looking to bring in 2 of whitfield, lloyd and mills. I would rather get rowe out while I can; happy to have fred/kosi loop for d6.
Fwds is still a basket case and better off waiting to see when Danger returns, or Heeney bottoms out. Bolton and Dusty bring important DPP to the table and provide more flexibility for managing the team and rookies on a week to week basis. This may be worth an addition 10-20 points a week compared to jumping on May now and being fwd limited.
Additional cash gen is very dependent on Highmore and Flynn getting some games. 2 games from each of them and I would cull them.
Scott, Dev, Jordon, Powell Warner I need and want for bye coverage. Will look at trading Clark for cash if he can't get gametime.
Downside of RCB, Dusty and Bolton is it takes my Rnd 13 byes to 12 plus Flynn, Highmore, Treacy and Clark potential DNP. So Flynn has to go at least by Rnd 12. Clark will remain a week to week proposition and will be gone for Rnd13 if not playing or I need a cash grab.
Not keen on getting rid of Brockman as he may get a run soon and generate some cash. May sit on trades until byes other than what's planned unless great opportunity turns up.
Rnd 9
RCD <> Berry? +88K for 339K itb
Rnd 10
Dusty <> Kosi and move Clark back to D6 200ITB

Ok...
This is to everyone but @Herbie66 I'm shouting you out since you seem to be the biggest FOR Stringer I've seen so far
So this round my trades are looking Chapman/Gulden - May/Stringer + $10k left in the bank
or
It could be Chapman/Rowe - May/Fred or another rookie
(-Only reason i would look at someone other than May with his great BE is Daniel and the Bye but he needs to prove himself first to me-)
What's the consensus?
After this round, I have 21/22 trades left...

Trades have been set since last Sunday night, am yet to even consider reversing them.
Rowe > Marshall
Gulden > Frederick
117k itb.
Sets me up nicely for next week to go
Kosi > Ridley
Warner > RCD
And leaves me with a fwd line consisting of
Ziebell, Marshall, Sidebum, Dusty, Impey and Daniher for the time being.
No more FWD rookies!
