Thought I'd have a bit of a fiddle cause why nawt
DEF: Heath Shaw, Alex Rance, Robert Murphy, Andrew McGrath, Jack Scrimshaw, Matthew Scharenberg (Griffin Logue, Luke Ryan)
MID: Patrick Dangerfield, Scott Pendlebury, Tom Rockliff, Nat Fyfe, Dayne Beams, David Swallow, Sam Petrevski-Seton, Will Brodie (Sam Powell-Pepper, David Myers, Dylan Clarke)
RUCK: Max Gawn, Todd Goldstein (Luke Strnadica)
FWD: Luke Dahlhaus, Jack Macrae, Touk Miller, Hugh McCluggage, Ben Ainsworth, Jack Bowes (Daniel Venables, Willem Drew)
Cash left: $91,100
Gone for most of the top-end rookies atm, so if some of the cheaper ones look good for round 1 then can drop a few for a bit more cash. Tbh not sold on Macrae yet, tempted to drop him for another rookie and go with someone like Adams in defence. Other spots that could easily change would be Swallow and Myers, and possibly Bob (but at 390k hard to say no). Sandi also tempting for the rucks, but I've always been a fan of the set-and-forget strategy. Touk is gonna go huge.
No interest in Heppell? If some more cash can be found from rookies/premos etc. would you consider upgrading Swallow to him? Leaves a very strong starting midfield if so.
Nice team and structure GL - Gutsy move with Touk at M3 but you need the odd risk or 2.

Not as keen on the returning Bombers tbh, think they'll start a bit slow and not really change much in price (excluding Myers who is just insanely good value).

Agree regarding Myers, 130k for an experienced Best 22 player is a lock. The thought has certainly crossed my mind a number of times with the returning bombers, but I am hopeful that with a point to prove they will have a strong Pre Season Cup and therefore be somewhat ready to re-enter the AFL system. If that solid Pre Season Cup isn't there though, it will put some serious question marks in my mind as most Bombers aren't quite as cheap as we might have liked.

Yeah, like, there's every chance they come out and kill it. And if HepD was 50k cheaper,hhe'd probably be locked in my team already. Just a bit worried of falling behind early if he does start slow, but could also go the other way :P
Love Touk Miller, he's the human meat ball 2.0... new and improved! Love you're m1-4 (not sure why ;) ) they're probably the only players I see capable of going 120+.. unless gaz steps up again!
Top 2 ruck trap (be careful) I fell for that last year goldy and stef... biggest burn ever.
Like it though a lot

Haha, yeah it's so hard to get the rucks right from the start each year, but I feel like any combination carries some sort of risk, and I'd be losing out the most if Gawn and Goldy both fire and I don't have them :P
Very nice squad, love the Touk pick, don't have the balls to pick him myself though :P Not a fan of Bob Murphy but there is value there no doubt. Good start!

Yeah, tempting to go Swallow down to a rookie, and then upgrade Bob to a top-line defender
Keep Swallow
I'd downgrade a couple of the super expensive rookies

I always like to start with the more expensive ones just cause it's easier to downgrade them though :P

You're good at fiddling by the looks of it mate.

:)
HI GL, agree 100% about the returning Bombers. Oops better make that about 85% as I forgot about Myers who I see as a money making gift from the SC Gods to make up for all the times they've screwed me in the past. And love the use of high end rookies for obvious reasons of reality. I think if Sandi plays some pre season and is named Rd.1 he may prove difficult to leave out. Would the new ruck rule favour someone of his enormous stature ?? Will be watching the Torque closely, best of luck mate. ;)
Not much point trading up Swallow to Heppell unless you are desperate for a small point gain. Swallow potential 100+ avg, Heppell 105+ therefore on value alone Swallow is better choice. How many of us believe Heppel is a potential superprem. If he can have a very good year he is likely to be a 110-115 avg. For me will generate more points per dollar expended on Swallow. Best case he ends up M9 with a 105 avg, Most likely traded out at byes averaging 100 for a superprem.

I believe Heppell could become a premium with an average around 105-110 which would be enough to be a keeper. Although I'm not starting him as I would rather spend another 75k and get someone like Bont.

Yeah I reckon Heppell will start slow and maintain his cheap price (if not lose a bit of cash). Second half of the season though, he'll definitely be on my radar.

Haha cheers mate. Yeah I reckon Sandi will make or break our seasons, definitely can still pump out anything from 100-110 in SC, but if he starts slowly or gets injured, then that's gonna be a long time without one of Goldy or Gawn... :-X
Surprised at how little fiddling I've done tbh :P
Only changes atm are Brodie down to a rookie (whoever I didn't start with from SPP, SPS, Graham, Clarke I dunno on my phone ahaha), and Bob up to Tmac. Brodie now a downgrade target for later in the year if Rocket is to be believed ;)
(https://i.gyazo.com/f097900a128fa6910a0eb3d8ad405ebd.png)
23k left. Feels a bit weak in the mids, but have gone with basically all top-priced rooks on the field, so once we see which bargain priced rookies will be playing round 1, I should be able to quickly make an easy 200k and probably upgrade Beams to JPK or Sloaney or something.
Probably a bit risky in defence with both key defenders in Rance and Tmac. Rance has been pretty consistent though, and Tmac was huge in the back half of last year. With the Demons on the up, think he can keep up that scoring. Laird definitely the one I'd bring in if I dropped one of these two guys.
Touk locked in the forward line. Macrae I'm tempted to swap for Caddy, just a gut feeling there. Probably won't do it though.
Rookies (or rookie priced players) like Keeffe, Hibberd, Scheer, Taranto, etc all under consideration.
Yeah I reckon you could get an extra 400k when the basement price rookies pop up and make there way into your team which would be enough to get another premium mid.
Terrific looking team GL.
As stated, a gun Swan mid may be all that's missing, if you were to trade up Beams to avoid the risk.
Nice 1.
Hard to fault the team really...
Touk Miller is on my watchlist, great POD.
Keep an eye on Goldstein too, has had a restricted pre-season due to an ongoing ankle injury.
Nice team to sit GL. SC love Rance usually 20ppg better than AF/DT.
Plenty of scope for fiddling when rookies are finalised,
Looks great from the bottom up.
All those high priced rookies fill it well and by R1 could probably afford another major upgrade to strengthen your good work.

Cheers mate! Yeah Beams definitely not locked in, will see how he goes throughout the pre-season games. Don't think he'll be playing in the first one though...very good chance I swap him for someone else regardless of whether he lines up round 1 or not :-\

Yeah been hearing about Goldy, tbh Stef is very tempting. Should be #1 ruck (don't see Archie playing at all really this year, unless Stef gets injured or something), he's underpriced, and has some very good scoring history since coming up to Brisbane.

Other thing to consider with Goldy is that he thinks North could have 3 rucks in their side, meaning he'd be sharing the ruck load with BOTH Daw AND Preuss.

Might stick with Goldy...but tempted to drop him to Stefan, and then go Tmac to someone like Docherty
Side looks good, git of risk in a few of those rookies, but go with gut :)
Like the Miller pick, reckon he'll be great this year.
Just changed Goldy to Stef, and Tmac to Docherty haha
I think all those rookies should be decent, like Florent as well, and possibly Butler, but can't fit them in :P

Bowes probably has the slightly better JS IMO as well.
Ok, don't think I'll be changing my team any more :P
The Swallow late out kinda flowered me a bit, if I had of seen it earlier, I probably would have straight swapped him for McGrath. If I knew about his ankle before the weekend started, then maybe WHE. Anyways, ended up bringing in Kayne Turner, and with the cash upgraded Stef back to Goldy. Next week I'll likely bring Taranto forward for Pickett, and field SPP in the mids, and move one of Simpkin/Bowes/Turner to F7.
Relatively happy with most picks so far, Touk and Howe both went very well as my sorta PODs, and Rocky was goat.
(https://i.gyazo.com/c1ebcbb7710851e1b3b776bd9e684fc3.png)
Still have a bit over 50k left as well, which could be useful for corrective trades, although these will likely only be for rookies as I think my premiums have all done enough so far, no alarm bells as of yet there ;D
Currently keeping my eye on McGrath, WHE, Butler, and Houston. Hannan also another but him and Houston I can see possibly losing their spot after a bad game with guys like Pittard and Kent returning in a few weeks or so.
Something tells me I'm going to regret not picking Turner.

(https://i.gyazo.com/6fb5095eee7df51c2548726bd5b58bfd.png)
Reckon I'll be holding my trades this week. A lot of people already look like flowering off guys like Taranto, Simpkin, etc. I'll give them another week to show me why I picked them, hopefully they can turn it around. If not, will be looking at a couple of correctional trades next week :)
Hey, you started Touk!
Hmmm so, with Eddy getting dropped it seems, I may need to make a trade this week...
Next week I want WHE. Ideally, I wouldn't want to trade Taranto, and backing him to put up a decent score this weekend. Assuming this happens, I'd be upgrading the worst performer of Bowes, Turner, and Simpkin to WHE. This won't leave me with enough cash though to turn Eddy into someone like Hannan, Butler, or Houston. Soooo, these are probably my options:
Hold trades this week. Turner to WHE next week, and if Simpkin, Pickett, or Parfitt are garbage this week, they get turned into the best looking 117-123k rookie next week.
Eddy to Houston or Hannan this week (probably Houston but not sure tbh). Next week Turner to WHE and as I won't have the cash to do that in one trade, someone like Simpkin would have to make way for Butler or one of Hannan/Houston (whoever I don't take this week). Extra trade used though and there's every chance that one of Simpkin or Turner do well this week, justifying my initial selection.
Hold trades this week. Either pass on WHE next week, or swap Taranto for him, depending on how well Taranto goes this week. Will still be able to make a trade of Eddy or whoever to the best performing cheap rookie.
Any other ideas? A lot of this all depends on how well my rookies go this week as well. The main issue I guess is Eddy getting dropped and WHE looking like a must, and unless I trade someone like Taranto, SPS, JOM...won't be able to get WHE in and trade Eddy out.
I'd hold mate- No point making trades after rd1 apart from if you're faced with a donut or an LTI..
Re WHE- I don't think he's a must.. Similar to BKen last year, he's started well and playing a fantasy lucrative role however already you're 100 points behind those who started WHE over a Taranto (for example) and you're burning a trade.. I think it's an ok move but not a 'must'
Ahaha shower week, just the 2145. WHE needs to come in.
To do it in one trade, I have to get rid of either Taranto or SPS.
If I want to make 2 trades, then I can trade any 2 of Taranto, SPS, Bowes, Turner. In this scenario, I'd probably be bringing in Butler as well.
What do you guys reckon?

Don't see Butler as a must have. Also worried about Houston holding his spot as well as scoring so well - Port have had two good wins now. Be interesting to see how he scores this round in the furnace of Adelaide Oval under lights AND in a showdown. Will be a huge game.
WHE is a must and I'd be booting SPS but only just. I reckon he'll come good but probably better to sacrifice him over Taranto.
You have a lot of forward rookies otherwise so I'd hold your trades for now.... 3 down, 27 to go

Yeah that's true. Clugg may be in for Brisbane in the next week or 2 ;)
Worried Suns are gonna get smoked every week though hahaha ;D
Hmmm...I COULD do Barrett to Butler and Bowes to WHE. Means I'd get to keep SPS and Taranto who I rate much more. And get rid of Bowes who doesn't look like making a lot of cash. Need to find the BEs of Barrett in comparison to SPS and Taranto. Tempting though :P
Barrett -22, SPS -1, Taranto 0
Still the better trades with Barrett and Bowes I reckon though

I tend to agree with King Robbo, but can see the surface appeal of WHE. Plus I think he's a far better footballer then most previously @200k. I did make the mistake of bringing in Ben Ken after week 2 last year and it set me back a fair way when he turned back into to his bonafide spud of a self.
Definitely wouldn't bother bringing in Butler if you missed him. I'd be tempted to stick with Bowes too - if he performs like crud again there's other options coming around soon.
Taranto or SPS to WHE makes the most sense. Flip a coin between them though - Taranto probably more valuable with that M/F but SPS has far better JS.
btw good performance first week w/Cape Town. Inconsistency to be expected. Good luck for the season

Re WHE- I don't think he's a must.. Similar to BKen last year, he's started well and playing a fantasy lucrative role however already you're 100 points behind those who started WHE over a Taranto (for example) and you're burning a trade.. I think it's an ok move but not a 'must'
I tend to agree with King Robbo, but can see the surface appeal of WHE. Plus I think he's a far better footballer then most previously @200k. I did make the mistake of bringing in Ben Ken after week 2 last year and it set me back a fair way when he turned back into to his bonafide spud of a self.
Definitely wouldn't bother bringing in Butler if you missed him. I'd be tempted to stick with Bowes too - if he performs like crud again there's other options coming around soon.

Yeah, I posted in some other SC thread yesterday that I was tempted to hold off on WHE...mainly because there seems to be a few rookies about to get games and I don't want to burn through my trades straight away haha. Still not sure what I'll do but maybe leaning towards trading Taranto as I already have a few m/f links and as you said, SPS has far better JS.
And thanks man, team just went to shower this week haha, and wasn't home to get 2MP in for Kent on Friday night. Wouldn't have made much of a difference though. Should have a few guys returning this week!
This makes so much sense ^^
Go for Houston at $90k less seems a better option. Means I have to field SPS though.
In reality, what are the chances WHE keeps on averaging over 100? Highly unlikely.
Houston only has to average 60 odd and he will make the same as WHE averaging like 80 from here on out. Bc as has been said I'm buying from now on so have to treat WHE as he's got 0 next to his name and his worth is from here on out.
The only advantage of bringing in WHE is his scoring potential is higher than the other rookies.. But Vs Sydney on Friday night at the SCG screams danger, I'm actually considering benching him and loop joking his score
I actually think Marchbank is a far better trade in option if you don't have him..
Yeah I'm gonna hold my trades this week I reckon. Hopefully the right call :P
Good decision I reckon. WHE played alright last night but not a punishing score even with the game winner.
We'll be laughing with an extra couple of trades up the sleeve later in the season ;)
2103 this week
120k in the bank, 26 trades remaining
Went Hibberd to Newman and Gawn to Stef last week
Looking at Balic this week, not sure if I'll use my other trade or not. Depends on what happens with JOM. Williamson could be tempting but reluctant to trade any of Marchbank, Hampton, Stewart, Newman yet, as all have a bit of cash to make still, just need to be patient.
Fisher next week and Parsons the week after are all just about locked in atm as well, but obviously pending selection and all that.
Not sure who to trade out at this point. For this week thinking Taranto or Turner. Barrett has a super low BE so tempted to hold him until he comes back into the team, same deal with Eddy. Pickett hasn't made enough cash yet so happy to cop the slow burn there. Bowes just went 70+ so has another 2 weeks of cash to make for now. SPS has at least 1 more week with that 100+ score in his rolling average. SPP gets another week to make up for his game on the weekend, but could be on the chopping block next week. Parfitt and Houston both going fine and no need to trade yet.
Taranto went 60 on the weekend, and Turner only scored 49, with just the 1 score this season over 56, so looking to trade Turner. Think Taranto is a better chance of having a big-ish score to get above the 300k mark, whereas think Turner may stop at around 250k. Turner to Balic would leave me with 230k remaining. Someone like Simpson or Rance as an early upgrade would be nice, but already have 4 premo defenders along with Marchbank and Newman, so will probably hold off on upgrading defence for now. Forward line and midfield are where I need to make up some points. Macrae would be good up forward, can get him this week or next if I want (as mentioned earlier, depending on what I do with JOM). If I do trade JOM, have 560k. Guys like Hannebery and Treloar would be mighty tempting if I wait a week or two. I guess will see what happens with team selection later in the week.
Scrap all that :P
Can either go a week early with JOM to Fisher, and possibly upgrading someone like Taranto to Macrae, or just hold trades this week. Not really keen on downgrading a defence rookie to Williamson. Will look at someone like Hampton to EVW in 2 weeks though if he stays in the Norf side.
Hahahahahahahaha
Hahahaha
Haha
Haaaaaaa
Ha.
How's the team looking Dav?
My advice to you:
(http://cdndata.bigfooty.com/2015/05/135034_41084e254c59421efe04bff82f9b2ae0.png)
Yeah tossing up between that and trading in Zac
Parfitt-->Parsons
Bowes-->Bont
Don't have a mid or forward bench, and if Newman is out then I don't have a defence bench. Hopefully no donuts :P
Welp, copped a donut from JOM. Not a good week, yet again :P
Have 180k in the bank, 22 trades remaining. JOM is going this week, and probably Hampton. Will have to keep Houston me thinks. Also sticking with Beams because my team is that flowered anyway, may as well keep him and save the trade :P (was averaging over 100 before his game against Port where he injured his quad).
Thinking Hampton to one of Berry, McNiece, Mutimer. That will net me between 135k and 200k, leaving me with at least 310k to play with to upgrade JOM.
For my upgrade options, probably have 3 main guys that I'm looking at. Jake Lloyd, Taylor Adams, and *shudders* Elliott Yeo. Lloyd and Yeo better for byes, but with Adams I can keep him in the mids for now, so as to not screw my defence completely in the R13 bye or whatever aha. Tbh I might be leaning towards Yeo, as he has the lowest BE I think. What is wrong with me :-X
Here's my team for reference lel:
(https://i.gyazo.com/d5ee135992a1f2edfe3aae525d6e69e0.png)
Can't get Mutimer unless you downgrade O'Meara mid only.
So Hampton to McNiece or EVW for bye purposes (With Berry maybe too many for Rd 11) (EVW cheaper than Berry)
JOM to a mid you can afford.

Well, if I got Mutimer, then obviously would be bringing in Lloyd or Adams for Hampton, and if Adams, then move him into the mids at some point before their bye.
The mids I like I'd rather wait on at the moment (e.g. Ablett, Sloane, Jelwood). Hence why I'm only looking at forward and defensive options atm. Not keen on EVW. Not fussed on Berry's bye, as there's a good chance I'll have traded him or Newman by then anyway aha. And if I have Berry in the mids, then Barrett will likely be traded once our bye comes around as well. So yeah, not too fussed with the rookies!
Reckon Houston/Pickett --> Yeo, and O' Meara to Mutimer/Myers.
Tis the week to get the traitor if you're going to get him I reckon, projected increase of another $30k this week.

I'm keeping Pickett in the hope that he returns and scores like a 50 and gets above 200k hahaha. Will also wait to grab Myers next week.
But yeah, I reckon it's time to get the traitor in :o
Hampton-->Berry will probably be my downgrade tbh.
Scored 2168, praise Newman
Went Hampton to Berry and JOM to Yeo
This week going Houston to Myers via Balic, and SPP to Zerrett, 14k left in the kitty, 18 trades left as well
Team now looks like:
(https://i.gyazo.com/64cec8f1f15407658f625e57053eb7b0.jpg)
Banking on one of Rocky or Beams playing this week, both would be ideal :P
Gonna need Balic and Parsons to get up, so could be in trouble there :-X
If I am copping a donut, could consider bringing in Macrae over Zerrett...but Zerrett with a BE of 60 I really want to bring him in this week.
Future upgrade targets are (with backup options in brackets):
DEF - Adams, Pittard (Lloyd, Roberton, Simpson, Rance, Joey, Harbrow, JJ)
MID - Jelwood (JPK, Sloaney, Hanners, Neale, ZZZZZZZORKOOOOOOOOOOOO, Dusty, Treloar, Ablett, Gray)
RUCK - Jacobs (Goldy, Grundy, Gawn, Mummy)
FWD - TJ Lynch, Macrae (JJK, Nroo, Buddy, Heeney, Wingard, TT Lynch, Higgins)
Pittard probably comes in either next week or the week after, pending Marchbank's BE. Lynch in 2 weeks after he bottoms out, and ideally Taranto will have topped out then as well. Just need some good downgrade options now ;D
Looking at it visually, they are the best trades to make. So Rocky out pushes Myers onto the field, and Fisher the lone emergency. Obviously if Beams misses then you have no cover and Parsons or Balic missing won't make a difference to your upgrade target, but if Beams plays and say Parsons misses, you do have to weigh up Zerrett vs Macrae + Fisher in terms of points for this week, then obviously the cash Zerrett goes up and whether you can jump on next week.
I'm not a big fan of Pittard in SuperCoach, he hasn't really shown me much to want to pick him up next week. Ryder is clearly the in form Port player at the moment and he'd finish your fwds off (If Touk turns good)
Maybe Rance is a better option in defence? It's who I want to get next in there.

Yeah pretty much. Will also look at cash league H2H if I'm copping a forward donut. Already given up on overall haha, so if I'm either definitely not gonna win, or opponent is hit even worse, I'd stick with Zerrett. But if it's looking really close...would probably go with Macrae. If I did grab Macrae, then I'd probably pass on Zerrett altogether, and look at, for example, Jelwood and Sloaney to complete my mids when they bottom out.

He seemed to be not using the ball as well in his first few games, but looked reaaaally good last week. DT averaging almost 100 and usually goes better in SC. I'm backing him to average 95 or so, and the fact that he'd play through all 3 bye rounds is a huge bonus.
Yeah Ryder gone bananas over the last 2 weeks haha, but was averaging like 85 before those 2 big weeks, so I dunno there. Feel like it could pay off massively, or screw me over big time :P
Lynch would be a rollercoaster but will be dirt cheap in 2 weeks, and also playing through the byes. Still wouldn't mind someone like Buddy in there though...
Quote from: PowerBug on May 16, 2017, 08:40:38 PM
Maybe Rance is a better option in defence? It's who I want to get next in there.
If I didn't grab Pittard, Lloyd would probably be my next option, but Rance also appealing, especially with his bye and current price.
Yup solid trades this week, would do Macrae instead of Zerrett if both Balic and Parsons don't get up, not sure its worth copping two donuts to bring him in.
Also why Zerrett over Oliver?

Yeah Balic already ruled out is annoying haha. If Fisher or Beams don't get up though I'll be copping a mid donut if I get Macrae, so see how that goes :P
Personally, I don't think Oliver will keep it up. Zerrett I am MUCH more confident in. Also, that bye...already have Rocky, Beams, Bont, Barrett, Fisher in R11. Oliver flowers it up even more :P
Sandi out is a tad annoying this week. I could upgrade him to Jacobs or Goldy, and hold off on my Marchbank to Pittard trade. Means I'll cop a price hit on Marchbank though unless he kills it. Also, if I don't trade Sandi, I'll have a forward donut so my downgrade will have to be Stewart or go a week early on Greenwood (i.e. can't get Lloyd as intended).
Hmmm...thoughts? 14k left before trades.
(https://i.gyazo.com/d335f4306b93b4665e528f84839bd150.png)
I'd do Greenwood for Pickett and play him on the field. Swing Nank into the rucks for Strnadica.
Perryman for Marchbank possibly, but would rather wait and see how him, Cumming and Scharenberg all play this week.
So team reached destination flowered a long time ago, so kinda thinking flower it and just go for broke now aha.
Sandi and Taranto for TJ Lynch and Wallis this week. Newman to Lloyd in a couple. With 140k in the bank atm, shouldn't need to do any downgrades for these 3 trades. Leaves me with a finished defence (but Pittard D6 and no Adams), 1 mid upgrade remaining (Scooter current M8 though), 1 ruck upgrade remaining (will wait for Gawn), and a finished forward line (but Touk F6 and no Macrae), with 11 trades remaining and probably like 20k or so in the bank.
So with those 11 trades, the Scooter upgrade hopefully costs me only 100k and can go just the 1 up, 1 down. Gawn should go down a fair bit in price, will be upgrading Greenwood to him in the end I reckon, so will likely cost me around 200k. And then ideally Pittard to Adams for 150-200k, Touk to Macrae for 100-150k. So should need about 600k for these upgrades, hopefully can do it all in 8 trades. More likely though that it takes a few more haha, possibly even all 11 :P
Traded Touk instead of Taranto last week as he was a late out, and was fed up with his shower :P
Have 70k in the bank now, only looking to use 2 trades this week I think. Myers down to a rookie (looking at Mitch Hibberd to open up D/M), and then Taranto up to Macrae.
Next week will be bringing Lloyd in, along with Ryan.
At least one of Brown/Beech the week after I reckon.
Team atm before trades:
(https://i.gyazo.com/4ce4c20f19c773a5b35e05540818de34.png)
Ok so here is where I'm at now:
(https://i.gyazo.com/21b15c24876fa332100800c0243a0802.png)
171k in the bank, 8 trades left.
This week I'm thinking Stewart to Witherden, which will make me another 210k, giving me 380k all up.
Beams to JPK costs me 40k, which will bring me down to 340k.
Next week, Parsons to Deluca will make me another 160k or thereabouts, bringing me to 500k in the kitty.
I would also be looking at Gawn, and trading Scooter to him will probably be how I get there. Should cost me at most 150k, which gives me 350k in the bank.
The following week, Newman or Shaw to Adams should cost between 60-80k (will say 80k for now), leaving me with 270k.
At this point, I would be left with 3 trades, and just the 1 mid upgrade to go. Whilst I would love to keep Greenwood, I think he'll have to be the one to make way. Zorko or Jelwood should still be quite cheap at this point in time, and I'm sure someone else will come up too. Assuming Greenwood is able to get to around 400k, I should have between 650-700k to spend on my final mid. If I can pick up someone like Jelwood for 500k, that leaves me with hopefully enough cash to potentially go Nank/Lynch to Macrae as a luxury trade, however it would depend on their form. More likely I would just hold my last 2 trades though.
This plan seems decent enough, anything I've missed? :P
I'd skip the Parsons to Deluca trade as keeping trades where you can will be handy.
Id go:
R15: Stewart/Beams - Witherden/Kennedy (340k)
R16: Parsons - Gawn (85k)
That leaves you with Greenwood as cover and enough money for a def to Adams or maybe S.Selwood to J.Selwood the week after.
