My final thought is this……
What the F is going on with all the injuries??!?!!?
It is far too early to be copping donuts and yet I will be taking two right up the Kyber. Backs and Rucks are doing me in this week.
Karma needs to pay me back by giving me my multi this week.

Current thoughts – Mumford has to go, Wingard is looking like he’s done.
Mumford -> ??? (someone cheap – Big O?)
Wingard -> ??? (premium – Jelwood/Mitchell?)
or
Mumford -> ??? (someone cheap – Big O?)
Wingard -> Treloar and bank 700k for upgrades next week
Have NicNat, Giles and Redden fleshing out the ruck department at the moment.
Comments?
Hot debate. What do you think?

Pendles or if you alreadyhave him, mitchell

Yeah, already have Pendles, Murphy, Ablett and Rockliff. I’m tossing up now between Selwood and Goodes (both likely to increase in value this week) and then grabbing Mitchell next week as he has a very high break even.
Though I’m not sure if I’m better off grabbing Treloar before he spikes, and having the cash next week to do two big upgrades.

Stephenson isn’t playing this week but there isnt much else on offer who is inexpensive. So yeah probably make the trade, you have to get rid of Mumford either way

go another rookie for mumford and pocket the cash, nic nat and giles will hold up ur ruck and if they decide to give giles a rest i’m sure redden will be back up and running again…..hopefully. so get someone like Big O or longer.
i agree that wingard looks like he is struggling, get rid of him for prob old mac from memory he has a bigger upside $$$ wise though treloar would be good also. i reckon it might be bit early to upgrade just yet, but i do see why u want to as selwood is killing it.

Those rucks will cover you, you do also have the option of holding Mummy until he returns. I know it is not a popular thought but Giles is scoring better than most at this stage.

Thinking Mummy to Roughhead later swapping him forward (BE 104 so won tget him much cheaper i dont think) & Ledger to Treloar for some DPP. Havent got old Mac though so im a bit torn whether to get him or Treloar.

I have a slight dilemma. I want to trade Coniglio > Treloar for these reasons:
1. Extra 100K banked.
2. Mid/Fwd DPP
3. To swap Treloar into the Fwd line for A.Kennedy so i don’t have to play young Jeremy Cameron on-field (yes, it’s getting that desperate)
But… I also want to go Sandilands to Kreuzer. If i make these i will only have 19 trades left. Thinking maybe i’m better off just copping a donut in rucks. I really want Treloar for the Mid/Fwd dpp. I’m torn :/ and would love some thoughts!

Has anyone thought how devastating it’s going to be next year without a cheap and reliable 3rd ruckman? Last two seasons we’ve enjoyed Zac Smith and Giles. I remember relying on Jackson Trengove several seasons ago only to be delivered scores of 16.

Definitely need another ruck in WeeMan. Personally I’d DG Dangermouse as it gives you a lot more cash to get a quality ruckman (not that there are many up and about at the moment) and there’s still a bit of cash to be made with Porpoise.

Treloar or Old Mac i cant decide i have no DPP link in the mids so Treloar seems the best choice. But Old Mac has job security.

Going:
Ablett —> McDonald
Dickson —> Treloar
Hopefully (sorry to all those who have ablett) GAJ is out for 3 which will give Magner a chance to reach his highest price.
Next week Pendles in for probably Caddy (maybe Coniglio). That will be a straight swap.
Then the week after downgrade rookie, upgrade rookie to Ablett, leaving about $100-200,000 in the bank with 5 gun mids!

You’ll regret it big time come the end of the season.
One of my mates decided to trade him out this week, and put him back in in 2-3 weeks time.

Just seems like a waste to me. You are talking about using 4 trades to have Pendles and GAJ in 3 weeks time when you could achieve the same thing in three trades or possibly even two if you’ve got some coin in the bank and a couple of rookies smash it for the next couple of games.

I’ve got 62k in the bank. I’ll keep GAJ.
Pendles is on 630k atm. He will go down again next week but go up again the week after so for the sake of this let’s say he’ll be back at 630k.
If I could get say Magner & Shiel up to a combined value of 680k that will give me around 740k – enough for Pendlebury and a rookie.
It’s a stretch but definitely not impossible.
