Is it Gulden season or will Windy ruin the party?

Will you trade Merrett back in after being burnt before?

Do you jump on Whitfield with a 150BE or wait a week?

Were you one of the people who traded out Bailey Smith and be looking to get him back?

And who's on the chopping block? Dale, Darcy, Petracca, Caldwell the one week wonder?

Plenty to think about this round. FIRE AWAY!

Hold Daniel/Doc and upgrade Z.Johnson to McKercher (move McCarthy to bench) or keep McCarthy on field and move on Daniel/Doc to Holmes/Whit?

Other trade likely Caldwell to Merrett/Gulden.
 
Who is the ruck of the pick for the ride home?
Honestly cannot decide out of all the top picks and know whichever way I lean the other will crank out 4 straight 130s

Also, who are we favouring to ship out in the forward line? Tracca first? Average 87 over the last 8 with only two games barely above 100.

Is it time to call it quits on the Darcy experiment already?
Rankine might've redeemed himself for one more week..

Leaves me with 119k ITB, which seems like robbery for how shit those two outgoing are.

Should have jumped off Serong two weeks ago. I traded him precisely before and for the two pop scores and knew he would be getting tagged after, but I had this idea that after those big games he might have been in good enough form to keep putting up decent scores. He's in the never again bin until I see evidence he can at least attempt challenging a tag. At the very least I'm keeping some of the cash he made.
 
is bailey smith a straight trade back in? does the tag go to him or holmes?

Have to move Caldwell on with that ankle injury, really a shame considering I've only had him the one week

Taking him down to Zerrett would open up some cash, especially if he;s back in the mids for good

Trades felt fairly obvious,

Sheldrick to Merrett
Johnson to West

West I only picked up to afford Merrett. My bench players aren't doing much.

Nice to actually look at my midfield and see a completed set of high priced talent, only real negative on my field is Tauru but even he outscored Clark this week.

Even if Caldwell is fine his role was hampered with Merrett back in the middle. Scott the genius is committed to Setterfield as his main mid when he should be the 3rd or 4th stringer

Been looking at that here too. Might just hold off for a week or two and bring him back after the Saints (Wintagger) game.

Think I'm better off trading into a couple of players with easy matchups, Port v WCE, I don't have either Butters or Rozee, Dons v Tigers, don't have Merrett or Martin. Think I'll hold Petracoon for another week as he should go ok against North.

Maybe:

Keays > Butters
Long > Rozee
 
It is bloody annoying, their fans just want all the kids in.
On one hand, I can understand that when you look like you're on a road to nowhere, you might as well try to be hopeful for the future by playing youth, and a guy like Doch isn't in their future plans. On the other, they're playing terribly, and he is one of the only ones having a crack. Yes, his skills aren't amazing, but not as bad as many other senior players they have out there. I'd be keeping Saad on the pine before him. At least Doch can get the ball.

But if the Blues faithful were good at identifying and rectifying real problems, they would have done something in the last 30 years.
