D. Swan > A. Oxley
H. Shaw > M. Bontempelli

Should I be looking at someone other than Bont around that price range?

Bont is a must but surely you have someone other than Swan you can trade out. Under Crows new pressure he didn't get enough ball but that won't last.

Not a bad week for me this week

+5703 in tha rankings up to 6385 with a total score of 3798

Team valued at $10,481,000

Kalpha - Docherty
Hamling - Oxley

I dont want to get burnt by a dead D8 and there werent any downgrade targets for Menzel in my forward line that I rate

Team of

Hodge, Docherty, Newnes (Goodes)
Sheppard, Ibbotson, McIntosh (Oxley)

Lewis, Treloar, Pendlebury, Parker (Cripps)
Neale, Rich, Newton, Ellis-Yolmen (Saad)

Naitanui (Naismith)
Bellchambers (Downie)

Bontempelli, Bartel, Martin (McCarthy)
Salem, Menzel, Honeychurch (Clark)


My main issues from here onwards are

1. Underperfoming mid pricers, Ibbotson and Menzel the main culprits. Next week it might have to be tome to cut one down to a rookie and upgrade the other to a premium. Probably Ibbo down and Menzel up to Gray due to the strength of my backline and the ability to bring Goodes/Oxley in. The same can be said for Clark/McCarthy although I rate the forward premiums as more reliable than the defenders.

2.Non playing rookie rucks is also an issue. I may have to bite the bullet next week and select someone who is a little more expensive but will play. At the moment im running on the edge but i feel there are bigger issues

3. Get Barlow in!! Enough said. Neale on the chopping block

4. Save enough cash for Rocky. I dont know how but I need to keep my cash reserves up to reach for Rocky. Neale or Sheppard (through Saad dpp) are my only true stepping stones. I'll need around 250-300k to upgrade to the Rock and I need to keep that in my plans. I currently have 51k in the Bank
 
Currently sitting at overall of 1595, as much as I want to do trades this week I cannot come up with what trades too do.
Have 170k sitting in bank, but don't know if to upgrade Zac Smith as his BE is closing in. Upgrade Neale as his BE is closing. I want Tex before his price goes too much further up but dont quite have enough to upgrade a rookie forward and dont want to sideways trade. #sigh

Interesting trades.

I really want the Bont but not sure if I'd be willing to give up Swan. And do you mean Rhyce Shaw? Heath got 97.

Tough decisions this week I've got Lumum, Kolorectal cancer and bergers.

Want to make the Bont happen but I'd have to trade out Lynch. Would give me a fwd line of Gray, Bartel, Swan, Martin, Bont, Salem. Probably leaves defence too weak unfortunately.
There are others that I can give up, and I most probably will.. im just looking to free up some cash to get rockliff and another ruck. I probably was a bit hasty with those selections but 100k in the bank and having to rely on tbc and leuy scares me lol
 
Thoughts on Melksham? For $400K, he's averaged 100 so far against tough opposition and he's facing Carlton next week. Plus he's Mid/Fwd.

Thinking there might be some decent value there.
 
Out: Goodes
Saad moved from mid to def
In: CEY

Out: Martin
In: Jacobs

Frees up some cash and takes advantage of better breakevens.
 
I have been having a rethink, players on the chopping block:

- J.Gibson (got one tonn and a dnp. Don't trust his scoring capabilities without frawly. Though the dogs aren't a big forward line)
- B. Goodes
- K. Lambert
- J. Cripps

In:
- A. Saad
- Someone, depending on cash and position. I will probably wait until Thursday when teams are named.

The only other player in my team I would think of trading is Griff. I have the feeling it will burn me though.
 
Very stuck on trades guys! My team is the following:

Def: Newnes, Shaw, Lumumba, KK, McIntosh, Saad (Goodes, Oxley)
Mid: Lewis, Barlow, Beams, Ward, Scooter, Rich, Newton, CEY (Cripps, Vandenberg)
Ruck: Mummy, Bellchambers (some spuds)
Fwd: Martin, Gray, Bartel, Lynch, Salem, Clark (McCarthy, Redpath)
250k remaining
My first trade is KK->Hunt but I am confused from there. Some candidates are: Lumumba, Beams, Scooter and Redpath. Cheers guys!

He has a BE of 173 so when he returns he will have a few price drops aswell. Fingers x

For me i would get rid of Beams is only gonna bleed $$$, and bring in Bontempelli will make money and free up an extra 114k.

Edit: First i would see if Scooter will be playing if not how long will he be out for.

Had a solid week scoring 2004 for the week with Goodes and Clarkes let downs.
Changing from rocky to Barlow turned out to be a great idea.

This weeks trades:

Lumumba > J. Bruce
Beams > Sloane

Lumumba is definitely one not living up to the hype and isn't playing as much midfield so I thought I'd downgrade to Bruce who is just as serviceable for a lower price tag.

Also needed to get rid of Beams who has been dropping in cash and I assume will again this week, hence Sloaney to come in and hopefully belt out a great score against a weak Dee's defence. Was about to go to Dylan Shiel but Sydney's game style may affect his numbers.
