[SnappyHappy]

The latter.

Bont + NVB + 350k + Ruck Donut

or

Bont + Goldstein + 120k

Option 2. Ruck Donut due to Leuenberger? Better off just getting rid of him, providing your mid rookies are all solid enough.

Swallow > D rich or NVB + 100k

 

[Donakebab]

Swallow > D rich or NVB + 100k

NVB + cash. Neither will be keepers and NVB will make you more coin before upgrading.

A) Bennell > Bonts, Ablett stays on bench to turn to Selwood next week
B) Gary > NVB + cash for future upgrades
C) Gary > super premo Sloane/Lewis/Kennedy

I've nailed pretty much every other rookie. Bennell isn't exactly going poorly, but with no Gary around he's likely to get more attention.

Gaz -> NvB cash generation is very important in the early rounds.

Laird vs Docherty, could either be keepers?

 

[MightyDons4]

Need some help on who to trade in for Goodes and Miller

Option A
NVB + N.Brown

Option B
J.Sinclair + Whitecross

don't bring in Whitecross, he might be the sub early to get back into it and may lose value
N Brown is a bad get, won't make enough
maybe move Saad to mids (assuming you're not playing all 3 of Saad, Mcintosh and Oxley) and bring in both Sinclair and VanBerlo

Not sure how bringing Saad into my mids would help to get both NVB and Sinclair, here's my team

Hibberd Newnes Lumumba KK McIntosh Saad (Oxley, Goodes)
Fyfe Pendlebury Selwood Watson Griffen Steven CEY Cripps (Vandenberg, Heeney, Miller)
Goldy NicNat (Read)
Gray Dusty Bont Salem Hogan Clark (Lonie, McGrath)

yeah sorry mate, out of it, not really sure what I was trying to say haha

hmmm, you got any cash in the bank? Is the only way you can get Van Berlo to downgrade Goodes?
It's just not worth bringing in Brown because he'll only make you ~50k and you'll be trading him out in a couple weeks
maybe just hold trades for now and upgrade Goodes to a premium in a couple weeks

 

[Danog]

Docherty, Smith, McDonald, Rance... preference is that order at the moment.

Thoughts?

Docherty & Smith streets ahead of Rance & McDonald for me.

wouldn't touch McD and Rance tbh
Smith will average ~105 imo, he'll be a mid only next year, playing wing
Docherty should average ~90, but as you mentioned Walker could steal a few kicks, doubt it'll affect him too much though
wait a couple weeks and get Birchall or MJ when they drop a little?

Laird vs Docherty, could either be keepers?

I think both can. With Laird Adelaide have a cushy draw and he's likely to do well playing off half back. With Docherty he's not likely to get the tag ahead of Simpson and Yarran, and he's had two good scores in heavy losses, but not sure what the impact of Walker in will do to his scores.

No, I need to do the trade now. Far too few points coming from my backline at the moment.

can it wait til tomorrow arvo? make sure Smith isn't a late out and grab him, otherwise go Doch

Yeah, that's what I meant. I have to do the trade this round, not 'now'.

Jack Steven has since been returned to my team

Nothing in the bank unfortunately. Brown would only been brought in because he's a guaranteed 40 odd each week, will be D7 by years end and I need the $$$ to upgrade Miller.

if you really feel like van berlo is a must then go for it, as you said, Brown will sit on your bench
Miller playing btw, ~0 BE could make some coin

Laird vs Docherty, could either be keepers?

I like Docherty, more of a chance to maintain a 90 average IMO.

What about Bontompelli vs JPK? Bont 200k cheaper and I reckon is hugely underpriced and should averaged anywhere between 95-105, but JPK gives me a higher scoring output, more consistency but cost the extra money and probably won't fluctuate in price a lot while Bont will. (note Bont will eventually be switched to fwd line)

Will be a good F5/F6 keeper for mine Bonts. JPK will outscore Bonts though, but if you feel that Bonts is a must-have then this is the cheapest he will be. On a pure points basis JPK quite easily.

 

[Crafted]

Touch choices...

Goodes --> Docherty or Brodie Smith? Maybe a cheaper option like Laird or Hunt? Taking extra cash into consideration.
also,
Ablett --> Lewis, JPK or Sloane? Maybe a cheaper option like Rich? Leaning towards Sloane but 2nd or third opinions would be great. Cheers lads
