Oh yeah forgot about Hately. Hopefully he holds his spot this time, if he does I think he comes in for me.

How many trades do we all have prior to trades this round? I've got 23 left with 5 rookies and Libba still on field. Double downgrade this week will mean 21 trades and 6 rookies on field...am I better off to just do a standard downgrade/upgrade even if it's getting an underpriced guy like Guthrie? Feel like I'm running low on trades and not making progress on getting rookies of field.

I feel I'm in the same boat and it's really frustrating, but it's a long game this game
Like I said before there's bugger all rookies around except the three potentially this week, so if say Ham isn't named I'd seriously consider double downgrading this week then double upgrading in round 9 and there'll be a few decent premiums bottomed out that week
If Ham is named then I'd hold back on trades unless you're bringing in a Zerrett/JPK type and see how he plays on Friday night. If he plays well and looks likely to hold his place then maybe take only 1 of Answerth/Hately, make an upgrade and then plan on taking Ham the week after.
I went early on rookies last year after 1 game and I paid the price. Cumming didn't play after his second game and Redman, who looked the goods, got injured late in his second game. Wasted trades there
I'm prepared to tank when necessary this year, even through the byes. Perhaps this is one of those weeks, then round 9 I hope I go close to the weekly after doing a major double upgrade.

Corbett being a Burgess mk2 doesn't worry you at all? 33 + 59 ain't great.
Larkey at least has shown scoring potential, though he's well behind Hately and Answerth for mine.

I watched Corbett v Eagles and he was fairly impressive. 7 marks and 13 touches for a rookie KPP. If he kicked 2 goals instead of behinds he's getting a 70. Plus he has Melbourne at home this week who are a rabble
Larkey could only muster 33 in a blowout win. I'm not if his JS is even that amazing either.
I'm interested in Moore from Hawks the most but not sure what his JS is like.

Moore's JS is average
He played against us in round 2, then was dropped then came back this week
In general I don't trust Hawks rookies having been burnt by Clarko over the years by him giving them 3-4-5 games then sent back to Box Hill for the remainder of the year
Would go your man Corbett here

Fair enough
Corbett probably will get a decent run from Dew, but as a Parker owner, I doubt he will get that much past 300k when we do eventually turf him
The only good thing about grabbing him for me is his bye week I guess
Anyways, maybe one to consider if both Ham and Hately are not named this week

If Macrae keeps scoring 90s or just reaching 100 he won't be bottomed out for a few weeks yet.

Dude you have to get Boak for your own sanity if nothing else. Option 1 is better, I'd rather play 2 of Drew/Parker and have more cash than field Libbaspud and have less cash. Even ignoring the cash, I would prefer option 1. Butters can stay another week, he will drop much less in price than Libbaspud.

I just need Crae to post one more 120+ score and I'll jump on. I'm happy to pay a bit extra than his bottom out price and go a bit early. It was around this time last year than Crae was having his run of 140+ games. After 2 x 90s, he is due a big one and could be against the lions this week (had 155 against them last year).

Is C.Guthrie the real deal? I'll get him in AF this week but not sure about RDT. I wanted to only bring in top 6/8 premos from now on but I realise that my cash gen is just not enough to sustain this strategy of paying up for the best. Guthrie's role has been really good since he came back into the side and he is really underpriced right now. I think I might just jump on.

It's Cam Guthrie. Just ponder that for a while.

Cats supporters on the AF board think he has got a pure midfield role. With guys like Witherden, Sicily and even Laird being a little underwhelming so far, I think Guthrie is a decent shout to be close enough to top 6 defender.
I've got nothing to lose.

Constable -> Joyce
Mummy -> Gawn
I want Gawn badly and i can do this with only 10k leftover. I'm not sold on joyce but i dont want to trade to a forward rookie as id need to play them, i already have answerth and i cant afford Hately if i want to get Gawn. If Stocker stays in the team i may trade to him instead
