I am of the impression that Max Gawns upper shoulder injury is going to significantly reduce his scoring ability across the next 2-3 weeks and maybe even more
I started Gawn and so i have had the wonderful experience watching him as my captain average 145 for the last 10 weeks but now i feel it’s done
Is it so wrong the idea of Gawn averaging 100-110 for the next 8 weeks with a shoulder injury being not worth his current $722k price and thus trading him out before he drops again will significantly increase my points output - especially with the best 18 approach for more than half the rest of season
My initial thought is draper - with the spare cash from the trade i have being used to bring in petracca and fyfe in the same round as trading gawn out
have I lost the plot???
Short answer - yes, you’ve lost the plot.

It has some merit, I suppose.
I just think while he might have a few down weeks at 100 or so (he’s just as likely to come out with a 150 this round) he’s going to get back to consistent 130+ after a month.
Meanwhile, assuming you make this trade, you’ll have a borderline best 22 ruckman on field, who’s played one game for a 70. You would have used 2 trades just to make 300k in the absolute best possible scenario. Just seems incredibly risky to me
And what's the plan in 2-3 weeks time when Gawn is healed and pumping out that 145avg? (Assuming he will even drop in ppg in the first place which is no guarantee at all)
Draper to Gawn would be impossible
Draper could get managed too
If you have heaps of trades left, then it's worth a punt to trade Gawn out, but not for Draper. You would need to trade out to a ruck that has rock solid JS, can still pump out decent scores and who has had his bye already. NicNat the only one I can see, and with NicNat comes the usual risks.

Draper not being cemented in best 22 is defiantly an issue, but i think the ideal of him being managed is as high as gawn being managed and i don’t have any r3 (102k)
Ideally if money permitted i’d go back up to a quality ruckman but i’ve accepted the fact that it won’t be gawn as his price will be too high
At the minute it’s either have gawn and an f6 and a d6 as rookies
or trade gawn out and have a full squad with draper
the cash flow issues are quite real at the minute
Gawn to Marshall?
Thoughts on this...
Gawn â€"> Goldy
Gawn BE is 240 and expected to lose $50k over next two weeks while Goldy May hold steady/make 10-20K
You can cover a donut, make ~70K, and buy a few weeks too see just how much impact Gawn’s shoulder niggle has?
If you have Draper I don't think he will be dropped, hold Max and assess the situation next week
Dont start gawn, cry for 6 weeks
bring in Ladhams for 350k for two 120+ scores
move him to fwds and start draper and finally laugh now Gawn is rested.
Took bloody long enough. Need a couple of 80's from Gawn and I can go Ladhams to Gawn before the finals.

This. Love it
I just traded out Gawn to Oscar Mcinerney. No Smartin or Archie smith for next 5-6 weeks. Rucked solo last two games averaged 105/110-ish
Gawn BE 240 so he’ll lose a ton of cash once he’s back. With a bit of luck I’ll be able to go Oscar to Gawn
YOLO haha
good move on oscar timtim, I think it will pay off big time for you. Looked at it but already had ladhams.

Does anyone know how long Gawn is out for?
I understand the BE, but if he is out this week and the next is it worth a trade?
Remembering that Gawn has a game in hand....
just read an article that said he is just being rested because of sore knee not the shoulder/back issue he is carrying. Sounds like back next week unfortunately for me. https://t.co/YOG05mwpIg
https://t.co/dJI12KkWx2
Unfortunately don’t expect Max to be back 100% guaranteed
Maybe i should have had the balls to trade max to draper

Still no guarantee that Draper will play this week though.
In hindsight, if you were going to try a move like this, Gawn to Big O would have been the move to make - 2 weeks ago before Gawn played Adelaide when he was at his highest price and Big O had just acquired No.1 ruck duties at the Lions.
Easy to say in hindsight though ;)
I traded Gawn to Goldstein

Gawn -> Nic Nat. OK this week, next week????
Gawn to Nic Nat would have been the ideal trade if you did want to trade him (although will go up in $ the coming round). Nic Nat was only 487k and has had his bye.
Although I'm going to keep Gawn as i have Draper cover.

I ended up trading Max to Goldstein - love a good hindsight though - maybe should have gone NN but i guess tine will tell
I’m hoping he holds his form the old Goatstein
::)
Traded Gawn out and brought Petracca and Tom Mitchell in with the money, Balta from forward to ruck hasn't really worked but still have cash left to bring Gawn back if >>>>> ?

Me too, he tonned up but was still below expectation.
Draper managed!!!

That decision to trade Cameron for Draper 2 weeks ago instead of Rankine is looking really bad in hindsight

Cameron out-scored Grundy 2 of the last 3 outings they played together
Quick trade him back in haha
gawn with pcl strain that will be managed over rest of year - jon ralph fox footy after ess/gcs game
Gawn to Oliver feels so right.
Gawn to Ladhams, hopefully Ladhams price keeps increasing and Gawn's dropping, then pick Gawn back up in finals if he turns it around or grab best ruck available at that time. I have enough trades left.
I'm looking at trading Gawn to Nic Nat. Their prices are trending in other directions strongly, which means even in a couple of weeks you'd be able to trade Nic Nat back to Gawn for only a 40-60k price difference. But the 200k it generates for me this week allows me to trade a rookie to a premo.

As a season long Nic Nat owner, a word of warning. Has been very frustrating with TOG around 70% max. Last 2 weeks very impressive scores, but those 80's & 90's when Gawn was smashing out 150+'s was vert depressing.
Beware ???

At the moment, I've settled on this as well. NicNat has some very appealing ruck match-ups to come.
Normally I wouldn't even consider this, but when the word "managed" is used when discussing someone's injury it doesn't prosper well for the coming weeks.

At least the positive is, we'll get to see whether Gawn comes in before tonights game. Not that it matters for you guys but my 2nd trade if I trade Gawn out will be bringing in one of Haynes or Lloyd.

Correct, unfortunately and its staying that way until the end of the season.
I just decided to trade Gawn to Goldy. Not real happy about having to sideways trade.
But it’s kind of the same as a rookie downgrade cash wise and I can still bring in Whitfield to improve the team overall.
Just on the AFL site Dee's ruck crisis with Luke Jackson doing a hammy and reported Gawn suffering from a tear behind his left shoulder and a PCL issue dose not sound to good.
If I have to trade Gawn it will be to Neale
