Which rookie has the best job security:

Brad Lynch- with Bailey Williams out for 4-6 weeks will he keep his spot?
Sier- Played well last week, but even will Langford and tim O'Brien can play well against the suns. Pies have a lot of players to come back in over the next 2-3 weeks.
Jacob Dawson- Suns have a lot of injuries. Haven't seen him play yet.
 
4 trades left

Savage to Lloyd (Laird, Yeo, Simpson, Hurley, Sic, Seed/Savage)

or

Gray to Premo (Heeney, Smith, McClean, Walters, Gray, Fritsch)

?

I'm gonna play Ahern in Heeney's place, but looking long term
Hard to say

Imo Savage is better for an 80 most weeks than Gray who seems to score 60s most weeks now and the odd ton, while Fritsch is unknown on how he runs out the year

Imo F5-6 is weaker, but Lloyd is a must have defender too

Can you upgrade to Lloyd via Gray or Fritsch by moving Sicily forward? Or do you need Sicily down back? Sicily outscores Gray and Fritsch

Not Dawson.
I would go Sier over Lynch. Probably similar JS for both but Sier will score better. Sier named on ball too which is encouraging and there should be plenty of points up for grabs this week
 
Are Stef owners going to try go up to Grundy at some point or just accept the fact you’re not getting Grundy? Absolutely hate not owning Grundy. Even when Stef gets a 110, Grundy seems to pump out a 140. Then there’s the weeks that Stef goes under a 100 and Grundy never does that. It feels like a very luxury trade but based on Grundy’s form it could be a decent 15 point/week upgrade. If I had anyone else but Stef as R2 then I would not hesitate in getting Grundy

Yep, Grundy just one ups Stef every week regardless what he gets.

I've resided myself to the fact that that's the way its going to be given how few trades remaining.
 
Need to sort out my Fyfe target tonight. The logical move is to sideways to Gaff or Neale and use the leftover funds to upgrade Savage to Brayshaw.

I could opt to Hold Fyfe and upgrade Holman to Heppell giving me a 9th midfield premium and Gray as forward bench cover but would be left with Savage at D6 but his 83 average is not cutting it.

How many trades left?

I held Macrae instead of turfing him as I felt my team for the long haul wasn't going to be improved by trading him so I cut rookies and brought in a couple of bargain types like Heppell and a bottomed out Simpson to complete my side, but if he doesn't come back next week it's a bad hold from me having all them points and cash not utilised on the pine for at least a month while I have to field the likes of Gray stinking it up in his absence.

Hard call

Looking at Savage, 5 of his last 6 have been in the 80-98 range, that's ok for a D6 and much better consistency than Gray who has scored 5 60s and only one ton in that same period.

So I'm guessing here

Trade Fyfe and Savage, keep Holman at M9 and Gray at F6?

Hold Fyfe, Heppell becomes M8-9 from trading Holman and someone else pushes Gray to the bench while Savage stays at D6?

Imo the Heppell option is better providing you get no more injuries as Gray gets off the field I'm assuming?

4 left before this week, Gray is already my F7. Hindsight says I probably should have held Macrae and moved Holman onto Rocky or someone weeks ago, but it is what it is.

Heppell gives me a nice M9 but then will have Savage at D6 and 3 trades (no cash), all of which will be held onto for LTIs so I'll be stuck with him as I won't use two just to upgrade him.

What's the rest of your defence plus coverage there?

Could you go Hurley or Hurn instead?

Rice/Ridley - so nonexistent. Original plan was to upgrade Rice to Lloyd (Savage to D7) post bye but Macrae/Treloar/Fyfe has forced my trades.

If I go Holman -> Heppell I can move Savage onto either one ($560,400 to spend). Is an option, but think Ideally you want Lloyd/Brayshaw - missing both is a fair few points.
 
Argh. No Trades for me this week I guess, for caught up in work and missed lockout.
Spargo E for Fyfe.

It's crazy that we kept saying last year that Cox would kill Grundy as being DT relevant. That's certainly changed this year.

Cox definitely played more ruck last year than key forward

Now he's a key forward these days who chops Grundy out briefly
 
Lloyd is the one who has significantly improved as the year has gone on who we thought would struggle scoring big playing with McVeigh

Every chance Mills getting injured freed him up too though, but his scoring with McVeigh has been excellent the last two months (now McVeigh is injured too)
 
I am actually considering Ryan ---> McCluggage this week. Will leave me with only 4 trades and 50k but will also allow me to not field a rookie this week and some better coverage in the future. It is very speculative but after watching him this year I feel like he has been building very well and I wouldn't be too surprised if he averages 90 from here on out.

Also very slightly considering doing Holman to Shuey, although this would leave me with 3 trades and no money, and I am not sure this really does that much except give me a bit better mid coverage. Even before he got injured Shuey wasn't exactly setting the world alight.
You grab McCluggage?

Could be a breakout option next year if he gets DPP or something
