Have heard that Hall is less likely but still a chance
Gaz, Hall and Barlow all due to be named this week.
The only reason I'm not upgrading is my backline is already shaw laird Boyd docherty rich tippa brown and dbj I need a downgrade or I'm already at full premo backsI'm wary of Williams. I'd be surprised if he stays in the team this week. He's done nothing wrong but if Boyd, Suckling and Adams all come back this week then it's hard to see him playing.
I'm in a similar situation with my defensive rookies but I think trying to upgrade the likes of Brown, DBJ, Tippa etc is looking better than downgrading them for cash. There's just doesn't seem to be any strong defensive rookie options. I'm wary of getting stuck with a bench of non-playing rooks later in the season.

Cheers for that, just wanted to compare with my team.Sure. My team is called The Beardy Manbuns, ranked 9727th. If I bring in Priddis and Laird this week this will be the side:
Shaw, Laird, Bartel, Adams, Tippa, Bryne, Brown, Weitering
Danger, Pendlebury, Hannerbery, Parker, Robbie Gray, GAJ, Priddis, Libba, Hewitt, Smith, Davis
Goldy, NicNat, Grimley
Montagna, Dusty, Hall, Wells, Kerridge, BenKen, Cox, Petracca
27K in the bank. Midfield completed with Libba at M8. So going up and down 6 more times will cost me 12 more trades and add, hopefully, 3x more backline primos and 3x more forward line primos ... leaving Wells maybe at F7/M9? Then a mere 4 injury trades to get me through to the end of the year.
I don't think I've been overly wasteful with my trades. I had Fyfe. I had Barlow, Brad Crouch and Lonergan all of whom I pulled the pin on a fair while ago. Nothing else that could be considered a luxury trade. I held Robbie Gray.
It is a bit hard for me to comment as I do already have Pendles and Hanners - but I think in your situation I'd be taking advantage of the price drops of Gray and Priddis to complete the midfield - keeping spots free for particular players seems like a risk. In your situation I think I'd at least be grabbing Gray (who I also have and paid 600K+ for).Perfect world I'd like Pendles and Hanners to fill my last 2 midfield spots but might be a while before either has a price drop should I take advantage of Priddis &/or Gray? & look to the other two if I get a LTI or a luxury trade for Mitchell, Libba or Duncan later in the season or should I just hide my time, keep the mid spots free for them?
I've had 500-600K burning a hole in my pocket for the last three weeks - I just haven't been able to get it onto the field with all the solid downgrade options that have been popping up - hense the double upgrade this week.Cheers for that, just wanted to compare with my team.
My team needs 7/8 upgrades (depending upon Barlow) and i have 20 trades before any trades this week. $420k in the bank (i know i have to spend it)
H. Shaw, K. Simpson, J. McGovern, D. Rich, M. Dea, A. McDonald-Tipungwuti, M. Adams, D. Byrne-Jones
P. Dangerfield, G. Ablett, T. Rockliff, T. Liberatore, L. Hunter, J. Lloyd, C. Oliver, B. Keays, C. Menadue, J. Smith, D. MacPherson
T. Goldstein, N. Naitanui, S. Grimley
L. Montagna, L. Franklin, A. Hall, S. Kerridge, D. Wells, M. Barlow, B. Kennedy, C. Petracca
Current byes are 20-16-20 playing
still says tbc on afl websiteWhats the latest on DBJ's ankle?? I'm considering hanging onto him as a D7/8 for the stretch, Port have a relatively Cruisey run home with the only tough games remaining being Hawks @AO, Giants @AO and Swans @SCG (SC finals wk1). He's a proven scorer with scores of 97,100 and 103 and Hinkley likes the way he goes about it so if he's healthy I'd rate his JS fairly high. Seems like pretty handy bench coverage to me. There is also the fact there is very little in the way of DEF rookies on the horizon apart from B.Williams who has very questionable JS..... Thoughts??

BE of 135 so will be grabbing Gray next weekI think it's probably the smarter option to grab at least one of Priddis or Gray, issue that's just dawned on me now though is that none of my Mid Rooks are ready to be upgraded, Hewett's not going to make that much more but 20-40k might make a difference in the end,
You are missing a fwdHi guys,
I have 19 trades and 150k in the bank.
Shaw, Kolo, Bartel, Tippa, brown, DBJ, brand, tucker
Danger, Pendlebury, Sidebottom, Parker, Selwood, GAJ, Libba, kerridge, Davis, menadue, smith
Goldy, NicNat, Grimley
Zorko, Dusty, Hall, Greene, Zerrett Wells, Petracca
Pretty happy with my mids and Fwds, but clearly my backs need some work
Was thinking of going:
DBJ to William's
Brown to Docherty
This will leave me with enough cash to hopefully go Kerridge to Gray the week after.
My question Is whether docherty worth the cash? Or should I go for a cheaper option like laird (if back) or rance?
Ahh that I' am. Hewett in the middle Menadue in the fwd line.You are missing a fwd
Hi guys,
sorry revised team:
Shaw, Kolo, Bartel, Tippa, brown, DBJ, brand, tucker
Danger, Pendlebury, Sidebottom, Parker, Selwood, GAJ, Libba, kerridge, Davis, Hewett , smith
Goldy, NicNat, Grimley
Zorko, Dusty, Hall, Greene, Zerrett Wells, Petracca, menadue
This is the same for me. Luckily I've got the cash to go McPherson up to Priddis. Hewitt is earmarked to downgrade to Mathieson next week ... don't forget about Mathieson ...Issue that's just dawned on me now though is that none of my Mid Rooks are ready to be upgraded, Hewett's not going to make that much more but 20-40k might make a difference in the end,
