Bringing in Dusty and Heeney for Marshall and Scott.
Will leave me 371k in the kitty for another couple of upgrades next week.
Slipped nearly a 1000 places in overall this week so hopefully it will get me back on track.
Warner + Powell OUT
Lyons + Oliver IN
(Bont/Macrae/Zerrett/JKelly/Boak/Lyons/Oliver)
Kitty $306K
next week... Gulden to Zorko maybe??

That is delicious.
Man I need to trade out Powell given his BE, but I can't afford an upgrade, and the options for downgrades are pretty bloody grim right now.

Can you post your team?
At this stage pending teams Warner to Heeney and Powell to Lyons/Macrae

I've only got around 120K in the bank so considering Powell to Heeney.
Now thinking Powell to Macrae or Boak rather than Scott to Heeney
OUT: Powell, McCreery
IN: Docherty, Hall
I also considered Ridley/Zorko, but ultimately I like these better.
OUT: Powell, Warner
IN: Bont, Daniel (via Laird to mids)
Gives me Bont, Macrae and Daniel. Too many dogs?

Everyone must have a stacked midfield to be trading out Powell?
Had an off game but if he averages mid 70’s till his bye he only loses 20K and scores better than having a McNeil, Berry or someone like that on field.

He's a first year guy so unlikely to maintain a competitive average, good time to jump on a fallen premo.
Best midfield I've seen has Heppell at M8 so there are some stacked teams.
He is my M7 with Jordon at M8. I think a lot of teams are probably in a similar boat and if they did the double down last week it's an easy upgrade to an uber premium mid this week. The other lines will be a little weaker with Scott, Kosi, Bergman etc. all still on field but the time is now to turn Powell into a gun
Not sure what trades to make this round any suggestions?

You will be facing a potential donut in defence with Bowes out so I'd look at trading in one of Lloyd/Rich/Docherty/Short/Whitfield.
Your choice will effectively be upgrading Kosi or trading Bowes. If L.Jones doesn't make the cut then Flynn to Treacy will get the funds required if the latter is your preference.
Cheers Bully!
Yeah it's all dependent on Bowes. I think they said it's a hamstring so he has to go with no bench coverage. You could grab May and then upgrade Powell to the BPA on any line using your left over cash and DPP swings
Powell/D Robertson to Dusty/Steele
216K itb after trades. Comfortable with coverage from rookies for onfield scores by looping.
Bolton on the bench, 2 of Poulter, Farrar and Scott for F5-6 until Bolton returns.
Jordon, Clark, RCD, Brockman for M7/8 until next upgrade,
D6 is one of Highmore, Kosi and Murphy until post GWS bye. Waiting Whitfield for D6 and mid 400Ks also considering Laird to mids for M8 and bring in Mills/Lloyd post byes
Next week looking at Guthrie, Gaff, Bont, Lyons, McLuggage, Kelly for mid upgrade. Probably Zorko post byes for F6. Like Kelly but keen to see what Leon plans for him wiht Greene out of the team. If Kelly can hold his mid role then will definitely look at him coming in.
Fwds hoping to hold Impey, Ziebell as Prems to the end of year and Daniher will be a late upgrade to Danger post byes after Danger drops down in value.

Whitfield running at 78% TOG, that should increase as the season progresses. Could be a super POD.
Don't forget Hurn! Back this week and headed to 420k in a fortnight.
don't get Hurn way to likely to get rested or injured
i'm thinking
bowes/powell for daniel/steele

I reckon Hurn's output will be similar to Rich, therefore a cash cow of sorts. If he gets injured at 520k, no harm done.
Bowes has a 3 week hammy so he needs to be traded

Which = 2 matches + a bye
Currently thinking:
Powell to Ridley (move Laird to M6)
Berry to Boak (m5)
I'm really trying to save trades... but Warner to Heeney seems too obvious.
Do we think Heeney will be good enough for F6 for the rest of the season? I don't think I will have the trades to upgrade him..

You would have to say his floor is 90 so there's definite value. Don't mind using him as a stepping stone to Danger if need be. At the very worst he becomes great bench cover.
I was thinking about Heeney myself as a way to possibly get two premiums in this week instead of just the one. I think these are a few things that you need to consider.
Injury history - He has been hit by the injury curse the last couple of seasons and already missed time this year. If you bring him in you probably want some bench coverage in the forward line you can work with in case he misses more time
Role - Playing as the deepest forward probably hurts his scoring ability. Buddy back helps him out here as his best asset in the past has been his ability to push up to the wings and create a link up option.
If you feel he ticks the boxes go for it. I personally think I'd rather grab someone a little more proven like Zorko in my situation by doing the necessary downgrade to afford him. I'd probably have Ziebell, Impey, Dusty, Zorko, Sidebottom, Dale and Bolton ahead of him. Hawkins is another I'm looking at with a favourable bye. Others to consider include Hind, Hall and Danger when he is back.
The other thing to consider with Heeney is he plays round 12 & 13, Danger probably has his first price drop & then a deft trade in round 14 hopefully for less than 120k.
My opinion is if you're bringing Heeney in it's as a keeper at this point. 350k is a lot for a stepping stone so late in the year. I'd rather bank the cash and grab a rookie if I plan on trading him out later.
would u guys keep Andrew Brayshaw?
i have bowes to lol

Depends on your trade situation - Brayshaw not listed on the injury list but watch with the calf. Bowes will only miss 2 as Suns have Rd 12 byes.
So if you have cover would keep if not would trade Brayshaw before Bowes,
DEF: Laird, Lloyd, Ridley, Ryan, Stewart, Jiath (Highmore, Murphy
MID: Macrae, Merrett, Mitchell, Walsh, Powell, Jordan, Scott, Collier-Dawkins (Berry, Macrae, Sharp)
RUC: Gawn, Grundy (Flynn)
FWD: Ziebell, Zorko, Martin, Impey, Warner, Poulter (Jones, Atu)
Trades: 17 and 240k
Do I just go Powell to Steele and upgrade Warner next week or swing Laird into the midfield and upgrade Powell to like Daniel and Warner to Hind/Hall which allows for a double upgrade.
Anyone have any idea on Nick Murray's likely job security?

Given he only played in Rd 2 and then again Rd 7 would say not good.
Need a mid upgrade.
I’ve already used Trade 1 to get Caleb Daniel.
Trade 2 thinking:
- Bont: GUN. But expensive. Plus I also have Macrae and Daniel
- Steele: looks underpriced and pretty consistent
- Josh Kelly: looks to have turned the corner with scoring as Giants find form?
Thoughts?

Would take Steele but need to look at your bye structure. Bont although expensive and three dogs have the Rd 13 bye,
