Yeah all merrett options leave me pretty strong onfield GD.. just not sure whether I take the slow burn of weddle or a fast cash injection if Atkins holds for 2-3 weeks.. which are you taking this week?
I don’t see how these are so one sided, Dawson has been just as good in his new midfield role. Arguably a better chance for 150 and has great matchups coming up
Really liked Parish as an option due to price and upcoming fixture
Do I continue same thought and
TU – Merrett
or hope the DPP will still happen and go
TD – Walsh
Thanks Chris, at this stage of the season to be viable I need him to be in this role long-term. 2m Peter coming back should help, and he seems to have pushed Setters out. Comes with risk, but if the role sticks plenty of reward too.
Lots of TU from Bombers fans, very tempted to bring in The Package.
TU: Cowan for Gould – improves cash generation across the board, definite path to Laird next week, fulfils the SC prophecy of Will Gould at D8, but dicey rookie at F6 and Gould has almost no JS
TD: Pedlar for Atkins – improved on-field scoring, likely better cash generation but no path to Laird and he’s still Rory Atkins
I will not be considering Josh Weedle. Thank you for your time.
10-0 on the TU for Stringers role and CBAs maintaining, The Package is in! Thanks to all who voted, unless you’re secretly evil (I guess we’ll find out soon).
Clarry trade fits my bye structure a little better and am afraid I won’t be able to bring him in later without doing 3 – 4 trades. Will need to field Wilmot and don’t like bringing in a player who is not on the bubble.
Docherty trade means I can get Weddle and then Drury next week if named. I can also hold Ashcroft for the next week or 2./ through the byes if need be.
Been grappling with this one…bank $50k + DPP switch Gawn fwd in a couple of weeks and get Marshall back. Gawn plays Hawks this week (172, 95, 172), while Marshall has a tough run against Adelaide and GWS for at least the next two weeks. Apart from the trade, any other reasons I’m missing not to pull the trigger?
Re-posting
Fielding at D6
TU: Cincotta

Thanks
Are Atkins or Weddle worth the trade?
They’re perfectly fine downgrade targets if you need to but they’re not must haves if you’re just trading for the sake of trading
Replacing Ridley.

Whichever Zerrett option leaves you best on field, Mav.

Is it worth spending $650k for Dawson? I feel that eventually he’ll fall in price and currently it’s just a lot of money to fork out for one player.
T/Up – Stewart ($50k cheaper)
T/Down – Dawson
TU
Oliver/Dawson Weddle IN
C. Jones Worpel OUT
TD
Brayshaw Atkins IN
McKenna Worpel OUT
Also if you got one of these in for the next month who would you choose?
TU Oliver
TD Dawson
I don’t see how these are so one sided, Dawson has been just as good in his new midfield role. Arguably a better chance for 150 and has great matchups coming up
I agree. That’s why I was unsure. I wouldn’t have asked otherwise lol

Ridley > Gulden
Davey > Weddle
TU Good Trades
TD Bad Trades
Essendon fans, how likely is Jake Stringer to maintain his CBAs (had around 50% last week).
TU – very likely, we need him there.
TD – not likely, just a short term experiment.
Definitely need him there this week without Parish. They’re our two clearance kings
Thanks Chris, at this stage of the season to be viable I need him to be in this role long-term. 2m Peter coming back should help, and he seems to have pushed Setters out. Comes with risk, but if the role sticks plenty of reward too.

Just be prepared for the occasional score of 50. He’s a great loop option if you have that available some weeks
Who to field? The other will be looped
TU Ben King
TD Samson Ryan
McKenna > Drury (Drury on Bench)
Hollands > Anderson
TU: Good trades
TD: Bad trades
Which is the better option?
T/U Setterfield to Merrett 18k ITB
T/D Ashcroft to Andrew Brayshaw 34k ITB
Whoever stays is probably being traded next week unless they go big this week.
Bring in Weddle this week?
T/U: Yes
T/D: No
Probably fine for D8 if you need a downgrade, but I’d make sure D7 has good JS, otherwise you could easily have no defensive bench cover.
Doing a rookie trade:
TU: Cowan for Gould – improves cash generation across the board, definite path to Laird next week, fulfils the SC prophecy of Will Gould at D8, but dicey rookie at F6 and Gould has almost no JS
TD: Pedlar for Atkins – improved on-field scoring, likely better cash generation but no path to Laird and he’s still Rory Atkins
I will not be considering Josh Weedle. Thank you for your time.
TU: Steele
TD: Brayshaw
TU: Sinclair
TD: Powell
TU: WEDDLE
TD: DRURY
Two week plan, barring no injuries
T/u
Week 1
Ashcroft, Wilmot, JVR – Steele, Gulden Weddle
Week 2
Baker, Davey – DCameron & Drury
Leaving 2 rookies on field (Cincotta/Simpson/SMitchell)
T/d
Week 1
Ashcroft, Wilmot, JVR – Satan, Gulden, Weddle
Week 2
Davey – Drury
Leaving 3 rookies on field (Cincotta/Baker/Simpson/SMitchell)
Is this the week to double downgrade and bank the cash for next week or do I go ahead and upgrade Ashcroft to a premo?
TU:
Hollands > Drury
Baker > Weddle
388k ITB
TD:
Hollands > Drury
Ashcroft > Stewart/Merrett
21 trades and 1 boost left before, let me know thoughts
TU – Greene, Ashcroft, Mckenna for Clarry, Atkins, Weddle
TD – Hold trades, Atkins and Weddle aren’t worth it
Really want Satan, probably my best chance to get him
TU: Ryan
TD: Anderson
Greetings All
T/up – Anderson this week, Sinclair next week
T/Down – Brayshaw this week, Stewart next week
Similar departures either way, thanks all !
TU:
Out – Ashcroft, Mckenna, JVR
In – Clarry, Weddle/atkins, Drury

Torn between
Thumb up – Atkins
Thumb down – weddle
Both bad Job Security but Atkins big scoring potential and fast money?
10-0 on the TU for Stringers role and CBAs maintaining, The Package is in! Thanks to all who voted, unless you’re secretly evil (I guess we’ll find out soon).
Following on from my previous post….
Upgrade Tom Stewart to who?

Following on from my previous post..
Who should I upgrade Will Ashcroft to?
TU: Tom Stewart
TD: Zach Merrett
Comment: Noah Anderson
Going to be my M7 – I have Neale, Bont, Greene, Oliver, Steele and Laird already.
T/U Libba
T/D Anderson
Was going to go Cripps but not liking Carlton’s run of games.
TU:
Out – Mckenna, Ashcroft, Chandler
In – Clarry, Gulden, Drury
TD:
Out – Mckenna, Ashcroft, JVR
In – Anderson, Gulden, Drury
Who to trade out?
T/U: Chandler
T/D: Ashcroft
Who to get this week
TU- Clarry
TD – Ziebell
Need to offload Grundy and, while cheap, I’m concerned the 2 premo rucks in the same squad conundrum exists for Gawn.
My second and 3rd rucks are currently Marshall and Ratuglea.
Grundy, Wilmot and F.Greene will be evicted with my last boost, and I’m currently deliberating between:
TU: Gawn, Oliver and Madden
TD: Oliver, A.Brayshaw and Madden (fielding Ratuglea this week and getting English for Hopper next week or so)
Who to play.
TU – Weddle
TD – Drury
More chance of games
TU- Cameron Fleeton
TD- Will Gould
Which trade should I do this week?
T/U: Jones/Ashcroft -> Drury/ Clarry
T/D: Jones/Greene -> Weddle/ Docherty
Clarry trade fits my bye structure a little better and am afraid I won’t be able to bring him in later without doing 3 – 4 trades. Will need to field Wilmot and don’t like bringing in a player who is not on the bubble.
Docherty trade means I can get Weddle and then Drury next week if named. I can also hold Ashcroft for the next week or 2./ through the byes if need be.
Cheers everyone. Good luck this week!
Is it worth doing Marshall -> Gawn
TU: Yes
TD: No
Been grappling with this one…bank $50k + DPP switch Gawn fwd in a couple of weeks and get Marshall back. Gawn plays Hawks this week (172, 95, 172), while Marshall has a tough run against Adelaide and GWS for at least the next two weeks.
