This is my team:

Backs:
Gibbs, Delids, Goddard, Grimes, Fisher, Duigan, Stanley and (Enright, Lower, Toy)

Mids:
Swan, Pendles, Heppell, T-Rock, Libba, Foley and (Ward, Harris, Irons)

Rucks:
Cox, Z. Smith and (T. Vickery, L. Keeffe)

Forwards:
Higgins, Goodes, N. Voldt, Knights, Tapscott, Matera, C. Richo and (L. Franklin, S. Johnson, C. Dixon)

$7,600 in the bank with 20 trades left.

I realise I must get rid of Vickery if I ever want to have a respectable ruck line. I want to get Sandi in after his bye and Vickery > McCauley is decent... EXCEPT once McCauley gets dropped, which he will, I won't have any ruck cover which is fine... until rd9 perhaps or until Cox's 2nd bye...

Unless I was to go McCauley > Sandi later on... I'm not sure, all contribution is appreciated. Thanks for helping me with this headache (hence the angry face haha)

not sure why he would get dropped all 3 talls played last week and worked well together

Nails

As a Lions fan we all think we know that he'll get dropped when J. Brown makes it back into the side...

The rucks go in this order... Burger > Clark > Broc.

Burger is only up forward whilst Brown is out. Once Brown is back... Clark will stay up forward and play in ruck when Burger rests up forward... and J. Brown will line up as his regular CHF.

Therefore 1.5 rucks and 1.5 forwards between Clark and Burger with the Lot...

I don't see a spot for McCauley in there.

Bluke

Maybe Voss sees that he is going to lose one of Burger and Clark and he is getting some games into his only other fit backup.

Browndog is a mile off still but i see ur dilemma with Keefe not yet playing...

id leave Vickery there for now

Nails

One issue with Vickery is that he isn't a keeper and is projected to lose 13.8k this week :(

McCauley will be playing r9... Perhaps the cash he has made can be used to go to Sandi as soon as possible... i.e. He'll cover for Smith rd 9... Go up $150k or so then go to Sandi and I then still have Sandi Cox Smith...

i no it may be a bit sideways but what about Keefe>McCauley :-\ definitely keeps u covered and when u want Sandi u collapse them both and keep Smith? just an idea

I think McCauley showed quiet alot on the weekend, and should definitely get games to Browns back atleast. Then his J.S will be very shaky

I personally wouldn’t be getting rid of Smith but would definitely be getting rid of Vickery this week.

I would be trading Vickery to McCauley and giving him time to mature and trading Sandi in before Smiths round 9 bye. (This option still may take 3 trades because I don’t think McCauley + 100k will get you sandi anytime soon)
Your team looks pretty strong in all area except the ruck, Sandi is someone youll need in asap.

Nails

 Not sure why you suggest get Sandi in for Smith's rd9 bye... If J. Brown is still out Broc looks to be scoring decently and would be acceptable cover, I think  once McCauley gets dropped is when I'd probably get in Sandi and Smith would remain as good bye cover...

Not sure really, headache maximum.

Nails

now with 4 out in the forward line really not sure what to do...

I might have to RELUCTANTLY keep Vickery, he's losing money and that'll hurt, but I guess the donuts are a more pressing issue...

What to do with Richo fmdt...

Ward > Harper/Callinan Richo > ?

FMDT :'(  :'( :'( :'( :'(

I'm going Richo>Harper. Have a geez at his stats that I put up in copping it in the donut thread. Likes to kick a goal.
