Callum Mills this week or wait a week and cough up an extra 30K to see if he is a legit D6?
11 trades and decent cash gen left, 2 rookies off full premo
TU: This week
TD: Next week
Tu: Make my final upgrades this week but will leave me with 4 trades remaining with a fully complete team
Td: Wait till the likes of Johnson & Carroll make more $$, probably won’t make my last upgrade for another couple of weeks but could end up saving an extra trade which will leave me with 5 trades remaining with a fully complete team
I have 8 trades
If i make 3 trades to get mills at D6 to end on 5 trades with 20 premiums (including matt roberts, bolton and caleb daniel)
is that fine
TU: Make the 3 trades
TD: I make 2 trades for mills but have to get rid of mcaulliffe
Yeah I think he is an option mate, taking out his injury game he is averaging 109 this year. Has a high BE of 147 this week but has Richmond and very favourable draw for remainder of season. I feel him and JHF are both genuine options at serious value due to injuries. Especially with the likes of Warner, Rankine and Bolton all underperforming of late.
Yep he was my POD at the start of the year and very happy with him early on until injured. Now I’m trying to get him back in but don’t have a way yet. He’s highly likely to have a field day against Richmond
I currently own Sheldrick, and while he has been scoring okay recently, I worry that guys like Mills and Gulden returning may eat away at his opportunities.
I know 1 game sample size for Mccarthy isnt much and he won’t drop 130+ every week, but he looked quite good
I’m liking Jack Martin as good coverage, should also get def/fwd next intake. Really want S Darcy but no obvious way to fund it with underperforming rookies so might have to settle for this option
Best bottom-price rookie outside of Mccarthy to bring in? Need to get Mills (due to trade and cash gen constraints) or I probably won’t be able to hit 23 premos, trading out Pedlar and Clarke (or two dead rookies) and need a basement priced rookie to finish the trade, is Madden safe to field?
Tu: Fonti to Mills. Just Hewett at F6 to upgrade
Td: Fonti, Hustwaite, Hewett to Mills, JHF, Liddy (or any 99k with mid status). Will have a complete team with 4 injury / Luxury trades left.

Can Mcarthy be a genuine D6 option?
Was planning on grabbing Mills this week, however do I just plan on grabbing my last fwd instead?
Thoughts appreciated!
1 game might be a tad early to rate for D6 worthiness… what do you think?
WCE will properly drop McCarthy next game they don’t seem to play their rookies for many games.
He’s not a teenage rookie, surely plays out the season.
D7 loop perhaps. i plan on using him to loop with Mills as my 23rd.
I need to downgrade a couple – Gray, Simpson and Hust
Who are the targets?
I’ve already got McCarthy
Playing for overall, decision on my hands..

Possibly thinking a cheaper D6:
T/U: Callum Mills
T/D: Tom Stewart
T/u – Rozee
T/d – Sheezel
TU: Sam Darcy
TD: JHF
LAST DEFENDER SPOT
TU – BAILEY DALE (558K)
TD – NAS (528K)
10 Trades left – 85k ITB
TD – Flynn -> Darcy
TD – Flynn -> NAS / Dale & E. Hewett -> Rookie
Not usually a key position man but Is Sam Darcy a legitimate forward option?

Thoughts on Dion Prestia as M8 or flex!?
TU- Roberts to Prestia, bank extra 30k for final upgrade next week
TD- save trade (10 left)
TU: Sam Darcy
TD: Mills
Comment: NWM
Mills this week, Darcy next week IMO
That was what I was thinking cheers!
TU Sam Darcy
Td jhf
Thoughts on Prestia? Was also weighing up JHF, just mindful of that niggle he copped in the last ten minutes.
TU = Prestia
TD = JHF
What is mills role? Has he been playing in midfield or defence ?
Suspect he’s going to be a utility, bit of HB, wing and mid. But he seems a safe pick at his price, Touchwood on another injury of course!
Will Sam Butler get the midfield time instead of Hustwaite?
TU = Trade Hust for Butler
TD = No
Butler has looked very solid, and it looks like Hustwaite is now going back to the two’s
Butler has even been getting some CBA’s in the past couple of weeks – all whilst Hawthorn have had 2 x great wins against quality opposition
I like him for SC, and will be bringing him in next week
Draft league:
T/U: Sheldrick
T/D: T McCarthy
I currently own Sheldrick, and while he has been scoring okay recently, I worry that guys like Mills and Gulden returning may eat away at his opportunities.
I know 1 game sample size for Mccarthy isnt much and he won’t drop 130+ every week, but he looked quite good
TU: Clark
TD: NAS (already have sinclair and macrae)
is will hayes viable
TU: Yes
TD: No
TU – JHF
TD – J Macrae
I’m liking Jack Martin as good coverage, should also get def/fwd next intake. Really want S Darcy but no obvious way to fund it with underperforming rookies so might have to settle for this option
Any thoughts on Nick Maddens job security?
poor, to very poor
good until briggs is back and then instantly dropped
Best bottom-price rookie outside of Mccarthy to bring in? Need to get Mills (due to trade and cash gen constraints) or I probably won’t be able to hit 23 premos, trading out Pedlar and Clarke (or two dead rookies) and need a basement priced rookie to finish the trade, is Madden safe to field?
My alternative is probably just Pedlar to Martin and hope beyond hope I am able to find a way to make enough cash to go up
Thinking 6 premos out round 16 is too much.
Going to upgrade W.Ashcroft to…
TU – Hewett
TD – Rozee
Is nick madden worth it
tu yes
td no
Too many rd16 premos:
TU – Dunkley to Hewett
TD – Neale to Brayshaw
9 trades left, 1 premo to finish fwd line, which I plan to next week with darcy
7 trades and $153k inb pre trades
Tu: Fonti to Mills. Just Hewett at F6 to upgrade
Td: Fonti, Hustwaite, Hewett to Mills, JHF, Liddy (or any 99k with mid status). Will have a complete team with 4 injury / Luxury trades left.
Already have McCarthy on my mid bench
Luxury trade (10 trades left and full promo)L
Daniel -> Darcy?
TU: NAS
TD: Callum Mills
Have 211k if I choose Mills
have 23 trades 2 boosts
Can I please borrow some of your remaining 23 trades 🙂
Who has the better JS as a Fwd downgrade?
Jack Martin TU
Ramsden / Butler (Haw) TD
Who scores more from here?
T/u – Macrae
T/d – Darcy
Better combination to complete the team?
T/u – Sheezel + JHF
T/d – Rozee + Darcy
