I think I will be able to get this done.
Out Salem, Sanders & Davidson
In Holmes, Warner and Husthwaite
I can’t believe I got tucked in to Salem AGAIN.
Sanders will get bugger all midfield time with Bont & Treloar back. Davidson has served his purpose.
Holmes is a better player than recently showing. Disappointing that Warner popped of this week instead of next and Husthwaite looks good for a rookie ( at least for 2 more weeks).
Of course all of the above will be chucked out if Flynn gets dropped
Not big on Dawson yet, was rolled forward heaps and that was partly why he scored so well (3 goals), but don’t expect that every week. His DE did improve however, which are good signs. I’d like to see a longer stretch of form before bringing him in.
He had team high CBAs amongst the Crows heavy rotations, which they’ve done all year.
Heatmap purely in the middle of the ground and only 4 possesions in the FWD half of the ground.
Only one of his three goals was from deep I50. Other two were on 50 and came into possession in open play.
So wouldn’t at all say he was “rolled FWD heaps”.
His use, yeah, remains an issue but don’t see how waiting changes that. Suggestion to wait for form makes no sense; he’s a dog of a kick. That’s not changing.
It’s a fundamental issue with his game and the whole enchilada w Dawson.
Either you’re in and accept the ride that his DE will be or you’re not.
I’m ambivalent either way but need to be clear on why.
Two to go out of SPP, Flynn and Bice. Not sure who survives there.
Hustwaite is a no-brainer. Possibly looking at a Lions mid for the upgrade – is Will Ashcroft still a viable option for M8? Only really had one off game this year and that drops out of the cycle this week, where he plays North.
I went early on Hustwaite and now I don’t love any of the rookies available. Is it crazy to do TDK down to Marshall so that I can turn Flynn or Short into a premo?
Tu: Do it
Td: Find a palatable rookie to do a proper downgrade
Went early on Hustwaite so it means I need to go early on another rookie this week, which isn’t ideal but oh well. Trade one is basically locked in:
Prior OUT -> Boxshall (Mid Rookie) IN (via DPP)
But my in is going to be hard, so much value around this week! Need help deciding between 4 underpriced guns, and I can see arguments for each. Who do I upgrade to out of these four?
Should also add for context that my forward line is full, Chad would only slot in there if I move off of Daniel, which very well may happen towards the back half of the season.
Is Warner a target largely for forward status? Wouldn’t mind trading out Caleb Daniel eventually, but have bigger priorities. Was thinking about taking merrett for a mid slot as that’s where I need to do some work.
Tu: merrett
Td: warner
Can technically afford any player so comment if there’s any other targets. Don’t want to get butters or bont at peak price, but happy to hear arguments to the contrary, I do need a points boost this week.
I know it’s a sideways trade and the point difference is isn’t that much but it’s killing me but with the round 12 byes approaching both xerri and tdk will be out, with gawn at a break even of 40 I cant risk him being past 700k. All my rookies are playing and making money and the 5 on field are getting me 60 plus apart from bice last week.
TU or a TD trade.
Lynch and tdk to lorenz and gawn
Soligo out for either:
TU. Butters/Bont
TD Chad W plus cash

Holmes has been bad for a month Shaggi.
Flynn, Ashcroft Jnr, Prior
Warner, Sinclair, Boxhall.
Likelihood of Connor rozee getting defender status in a few weeks?
Tu: Rozee (Banking on him gaining dpp)
Td: Sinclair
Time for Bice to go?
Bice (85) -> Sinc (110) = +25
Any upgrade involving Bice to atleast a defender not really that much of a net on points.
I’d be getting my lowest scoring OF rookies up first.
Bice BE still only 77.
Who to cash out first
Tu: Bice
Td: Prior
Better value option
Tu: Dawson
Td: Sinclair

Is Josh Daicos in discussion to be a top 6 defender?
Been eyeing him for a while, Derek.
Problem is he’s playing the games of his life, finding heaps of it but for only 119, 106 and 113. And that’s off 30, 36 and 32 touches.
Just not enough. No ceiling.

TU- Bice and Knevitt out, Ash and Boxshall in
TD- Bice, Knevitt and Rowell out, Holmes, Boxshall and McLuggage in

T/U: W. Ashcroft
T/D: Callaghan
See the comment below for the other two options.
T/U: Warner
T/D: Rozee (assuming he gets DEF DPP)
Should also add for context that my forward line is full, Chad would only slot in there if I move off of Daniel, which very well may happen towards the back half of the season.
Any thoughts on the Lorenz from port to bring in?
TU or TD.
Is Sinclair worth keeping?
TU or TD.
who are the premos to buy this week

T/D- Thilthorpe

Have the funds to make Flynn > Romo in one.
Following that…
Tu: Tsatas & Bice > Rookie & Sinclair (boost)
Td: Hold off and target Merrett next week after Jordon tag
