Trades best for the team.gif

Yes, tough calls need to be made ....Tom Stewart you are under pressure ....you may become Ash or god forbid Bowey .....I can't believe I just said that aloud

Last week opted for Newcombe over Petracca, believing Petracca would still be affordable in R8 .....sneaky huh :)

Going to continue to be aggressive and go early on LAshcroft


ZReid > Rookie up to 300k (not a lot of options)
LAshcroft > Petracca

Leaves Bice, Trainor & Lindsay as the only on field rookies, with the next cheapest player Caleb Daniel at 850K
 
Subject to any of my rookies putting in an absolute shocker and shaking my confidence, I am pretty comfortable fielding Bice, Trainor, Lindsay, Langford, Lashcroft next week - not desperate to upgrade any of them right now, particularly given I should be able to loop Trainor with Busslinger/Stone and might get a Langford loop next week depending on selections.

If i'm still comfortable with those five, I may look to cash out Corey Warner and upgrade one of Oliver, Washcroft, TDK, Short to an Uber Premium (Daicos / Gawn / Whitfield).

If something causes me to be nervous on five rookies on field, it will likely be Co Warner down and a rookie up, but would likely only be an 800k upgrade, someone in the Dylan Moore, Jake Bowey, Tom Stewart - sort of area, unless i could get to Bowey, or unless Moore shows something this week, those options don't enamor me.
 
Needed more from Oliver in that matchup. Needs to have a good one against WCE or he might be up for a trade the week after.

At this stage it will be Moraes to a rookie and maybe Maric/Davidson a to a defender so I can move Trac fwd. Only have 69k so hoping a Stewart/Sicily/Dale type puts their hand up at their price.
 
Bice, Lindsay, Garcia, Maric and Ashcroft my on field rooks this week

Pretty comfortable with all of them so might fix up TDK if he stinks again, or try and get one up to Petracca

Think we've missed him, I was so close to changing my Martin trade before the bounce today. Will go up 50k

BE of around 30 again so it's not completely of the question i guess
I was going to target Petracca as a Davidson upgrade, but I wonder whether I'm better doing a cheaper upgrade of a stalled bench rookie like Moraes/FOS to Long.
 
Is Ned Long a must have ?
On paper, yes, but the problem I have at the minute is I don't need any more midfielders. To get Long in, one of Davidson or Ashcroft goes, which is just a sideways trade. I could have brought Long in for FOS today but that would have left Davidson's $600k on the bench. I'll still be trying to get him in though as he's 20 points underpriced and rookies are drying up.

Yes, but also keeping an eye on McKercher's role this week ....rumoured to be going back to HB
Wow if I get kissed with that next week when needing a defender.

oh boy dunk GIF
 
Will probably need to rip the TDK band aid off, and bring in Xerri, Marshall (assuming he sorts himself out this week - will be very cheap) or Gawn.

Prior - best available rookie with the other trade. Or even an Elijah Hewett if he's now back to full fitness and playing midfield - will still be cheap.

Absolute dream 2nd trade would be Oliver - McKercher (if the half back move is real and no Fisher), fielding Lindsay rather than Prior/Reid. We'll see.
