Fair points. A bit comes down to whether teams actually start tagging again or just keep letting the like of Murph and Dusty run free. Hard to predict that. I've gone with Dusty over Bont my next choice might have been Rocky. I'm hoping that at 26 and with a pretty cast iron injury record maybe...

I mentioned Cotch in my first midfield post back in Jan. Of course I didn't have the strength of mind to take him.

What about Gawn to Spenser And Pickett to Swallow. I'd miss Newman though ... Can't afford Swallow and Newman this round.

Look like good trades.

Flicked Caddy for Nankervis last week ... if Richmond had selected Soldo as a second ruck to replace Griffiths I wouldn't have done it but they went like for like by bringing in Elton I took the punt on the Nank.

Good call.

I've got 90K in the kitty so if I need to top up by a few thousand I can in order to get the right player. If Gawn is going out I'd really like to bring in a season long keeper for him. It is hard when it comes to being a Tiges supporter to avoid emotions getting in the way when assessing...

As I said in the X v Y thread I'm really considering a couple of mids via DPP ... Dusty The Bont

Gawn out for about a month with a hamstring according to the AFL website. A fair will have ruck cover in the form of Nankervis, Witts, Preuss ... but he is still probably a trade, right? Will have a 27 cycling through his price movements when he comes back ...

Well, yeah, I have Witts R3 so I'll be fine if Gawn is out for a couple ... it's just ... if he is out for a while should I take the opportunity of him bring out to trade in a boom midfielder.

So if Gawn is a trade who do I bring in: Dusty v Bont. (Both via DPP, Witts from R3 to R2).

Yeah, sorry to not be clear. Caddy was the one on the chopping block. I started Caddy based on an analysis of his previous scoring and never having seen that much of him play (no Foxtel). Went to the first Tiges game and was not happy with what I saw. The guy is glacially slow. Actually probably...

A mate told me he heard hammy rather than a knee but said it looked bad and he couldn't walk off the ground unassisted. This is completely anecdotal as I'm a wedding in Warrnambool so didn't see it ... Gawn to Dusty via DPP next week anyone?

Yeah I went Caddy to Nankervis (phew!) and Simpkin to WHE ... but the way Hanners and Higgins had been playing it certainly didn't look a ridiculous move. Nekminit Hanners 100+ and Higgins <60. SuperCoach is a very cruel game.

I'm really feeling for coachs who went Hanners to Higgins this week. God knows I've made a few moves like that in my time and it makes you sick to the guts.

It is going to be very tough to know what to do with Goldy now there has been a price change ... but it seems something is seriously wrong so I think owners are really going to assess options. One more price change and it will probably be too late to get out.

Thanks all. Great to have a few perspectives and it helps a lot when I miss a game.

I missed the Pies v Swans game and I'd love a bit of feedback for future trades: Hanners scored OK ... is he back? Parker ... had an interrupted preseason so I was hoping for a slow start to the year for him and then looking at him as an upgrade target, so how did he look? Newman, looks like a...

Yes. Sorry for not being clear. "Run against you" is a horse racing term. In a race you might bet on two horses and let the other horses in the field "run against you". So to be clear - I'd make Stewart your first priority. Then I would definitely use a second trade. WHE would would probably be...

Well Smith to Stewart looks like a must for your first trade. Smith is out for 4 months isn't he? And Stewart looks like he'll make good cash. Second move not so clear cut ... who do you think is the most disposable of your current rookies? Probably Pickett? So Pickett to WHE via DPP? Let...
