Who is better value this week?
T Kelly or Fyfe?

Libba for Fyfe in a straight swap
Or Collins and Butters our for T Kelly and Hayes?
Neither option takes a rookie off field due to Moore DPP

I have 28 trades in the bank.
Currently have Whitfield who is likely to miss this week meaning I need to field an extra def rookie, likely scrimshaw

Yeah option 1 sounds the best. What other rookies do you have on field in MID. At this stage most people are doing 1 up (in the form of upgrading a rookie) 1 down....so the only thing is I am assuming Cousins was on field before so does Hayes take the on field spot or do you have someone else to move up.
I've got Walsh M6, Constable M7 and M8 was usually a gamble between Cousins, Butters and Scott.

If Scott doesn't get a game I can loophole Butters/Gibbons/Hayes to potentially minimise any damage also.

It's definitely a weakness at M8, but don't think an overly uncommon one plus think I'll be better for it long term and obviously pulling $110k out of my team this week it isn't going to be much better. I think that Fyfe's likely extra scoring is going to make up for any loss in points at M8 and I'm considering him as captain this week.

I'm assuming most aren't in a position to do a traditional 2 rookies out with a premo and rookie in this week? (unless you have cash)
All those that have increased enough seem to have a low enough break even this week. Feels like they either haven't gone up enough or we are waiting for them to have a bad game and hope there is a decent rookie option to bring in.

Geary's injury required 3 surgeries, 30 stitches and 5 days with an open wound to help the blood drain.
This is what the leg looked like for those 5 days:

Terry Wallace reckons he had a similar injury and the pressure was so great that his blood hit the OR roof during surgery. Potential loss of limb if not caught in time, very lucky

146K in bank. Thinking of getting T Kelly in maybe. What's the best downgrade target to make this happen?
Cheers

Had to address backline issues with Whitfield, Scrimshaw, Burgess at D8 not playing and Clark no certainty the trades made were Whitfield - Fyfe via Duursma and Scrimshaw to Paton. Nobody else I could think of to make it better. An y thoughts? I'll get Whitfield cheaper hopefully. soon

Those trades look fine but Clark will definitely play, so if that's the only reason you're trading then you can afford to hold off.

It's a bonus Clark plays then. Still get two cracks at D6 via loopholes with Burgess. And a 2nd crack at midfield with Bailey Scott still unavailable. Fyfe isn't going to get cheaper barring any injuries.

Is Whitfield going to be out for that long? I wouldn't be burning two trades by trading him out and then in again.

I toyed with the idea of trading Whitfield and decided it wasn't worth it.
Whitfield is projected to lose about $70K and drop to a low of $505,000 if he scores around his average in his next two games.
Given he returns for rnd.8 he plays Hawthorn, Carlton, Melbourne and GC in his next four.
Is the extra $70K in the bank worth two trades?

When he comes back, hes got a BE of 195. May only need one trade when the time comes
After this week he has Hawthorn then Carlton. If he comes out and scores 120 & 120 he's only dropped 34k and you're scrambling to get him back in again and you've used 2 trades to make 34k.

He's a keeper therefore his price is irrelevant unless he has a LTI

Epic fail, DPP swapped Moore to the backline to trade Boak in and somehow ended up with Moore as captain, RIP my season ranking.

Bachar Houli? Is he a goer?
I have collins and can afford to trade him and constable to kelly. Got some cash to use but cant afford laird unless i don't get kelly. I think kelly is a priority.
