I've caved to pressure
Kelly > Macrae
Banfield (DPP) > T.Smith
885k is a lot to spend, but I feel like if Macrae keeps this form up it's going to be the haves (going up in the ranks) and the have nots.
Leaves me with 7k, but next week will go A.Pearce > cheap rook and Petracca > Rocky which will be pretty cheap.

Couple of options this week
Finlayson -> Ridley
Doedee -> Crisp
88k left
Finlayson -> Ridley
Doedee -> Yeo
10k left
Ideally want 100k or so for Rocky next week so it’s up to whether I want to risk Crisp over Yeo.
Walters and Rocky in for peanuts in the next 2 weeks, should be able to stock plenty of cash only spending 100k on each of those.

I know he's so expensive but I'm really hoping to bring in Macrae this week. Early trade plans look like:
Banfield -> Ridley (Coffield DPP)
Neale -> Macrae
Banfield -> Ridley (Coffield DPP)
Neale -> Macrae
Tim Smith looked good against the blues but boy did Melbourne absolutely trounce them. Worried in a tighter game that he will only score 40/50. Although I guess if he is on the bench making money that he is still doing his job.
Did anyone see the bombers game and can fill me in on Ridley? Everyone seems to be jumping on him but I worry he is a place holder until Hurley returns

Monday and I think I'll reverse my trades already.
Originally
Andrew Brayshaw to Sicily (+35pts)
&
T.Kelly to Dangerfield (+30ish)
If I get Angus Brayshaw for his brother (+22) instead of Sicily,
I can then go
Lycett to Grundy ( +50, from 70pts to 120pts)
The + is based on averages, I suspect Grundy, under the Etihad roof will destroy the bulldogs so I might favour the second trade.
Sicily likely go 100+ against WCE anyway.
Any thoughts?

Still not sure what to do here....
Not sure whether to keep generating cash and hold til the byes, or to start upgrading. I haven't quite got my logic worked out yet....

Keep any that are going to go up between now and the byes (Ronke, Phillips, Ridley etc)
With 3 trades a week, being able to dump some rookie cash will help, rather than ditching a 230k L.Murphy to a 170k er and it not really helping.
Break even over the next few weeks is important. The first 3 I mentioned could net 100k each over 3 games.
I have started to offload the maxed out rookies (Brayshaw & Kelly so far this week) Coffield & Finlayson are now only required on the bench but they're next.
Second this.
Scratching my head big time.
I think Angus Brayshaw is a good move personally. It's one I made a few weeks ago and am a happy camper. He is finally getting some consistency in his game. Helmet must be doing him wonders. I also think he was initially playing off a back flank to begin with in his first few games and he scores poorer in that position than he does when playing in the middle like he is now. So technically his average is probably even skewed a little lower than it should be. Although Sicily has the ripper bye
Are there 3 trades each bye round? Would make sense to stockpile money for that I would have thought.
Yes, in Rd 11,12,13.
Just not this week with Port/GC missing.

Has a good break even (Brayshaw) so unlikely to lose money. If he fails, then that can be tidied up soon enough. He's unlikely to be a keeper so not sure if I'll get him. Bringing him in means Lycett to Grundy and I really like his scoring prospects against the Bulldogs.
Initial trade might net 2 keepers though, if Dangerfield gets fwd status.

Ed Langdon might be the way I go to get Billings out of the team I think.
Lots of 50s and 60s before that though.
I got burnt by Pittard last year during the byes. He spudded it up big time. Not sure I can trust their flankers.

Pittard absolutely fkd me last season. Everyone disregard my post above
I think if he keeps playing midfield in a high scoring demons outfit then there's no reason he won't be right up there with the top defenders come seasons end. Has averaged 98 since he was moved into midfield full time

Scharenberg also finding some form, priced around the same 520k mark
I feel like you would have to have some big cahoonas to trade him in. My balls are not that large currently

But I absolutely agree, no reason he can't average 90+ for the rest of the season. Meaning he is priced roughly 100k under what he can produce
It's got Jasper Pittard Syndrome written all over it! that *er was flying into the byes last year and then went the major league stink up under the weight of expectation.
