Rookie discussions and when to cash

[jfitty]

Is it crazy to do no downgrades this week at all? ???

Already have Hartley and Ruggles on the backline bench. Oliver, Dunkley and Davis will ride the midfield pine this week, but feel like Oliver has more to make and Davis hasn't made enough.

I'm kind of keen to keep Papley because of his JS, and Mitch Brown hasn't made enough either.

Tempted just to let these cows moo a little more...

its not crazy. especially if you dont really have anyone worth downgrading yet.

im doing milera to dbj. milera has been pretty poor and is missing 2.

I like that idea, I'm doing similar. Picked up Ruggles last week, got Papley who I want to keep for a bit longer, the others (Brown, Davis) haven't made enough as you said. Dunkley is a pointless trade because I wouldn't get any $$ from it, happy enough to let him be.

Next week we have Liam Sumner (m/f), Tim O'Brien (f), Tom Lee (d, and my choice) to come on the bubble. We have Petracca arriving soon, I'm happy enough to pass on Darcy Byrne-Jones, Ciaran Byrne and Josh Wagner.

Happy enough to do nothing this week.

Down back I grabbed Ruggles last week and he's sitting on my bench with Hartley.
No mid emg unless Petracca gets up with Oliver and Davis keeping him company, all should play next week (presuming Tracca doesn't this week).
The American Pie as my ruck benchie, could potentially debut on ANZAC day.
Menadue and Mitch Brown on my fwd bench who both still have some cash to make as well.

Means I can just let everything play out and not worry about rookies.

Rico knows a lot more than I do, but over the past few months from what I've heard he is very good

been playing well in the 2's i heard

Most likley only grab 1 rook for Paps..out of 'the' 4 not too sure but Ruggsy with the 20k looks tempting..especially if Lonergan has a stinker

was going to do a double down but with a couple more options in defence coming up (tucker and lee) do I upgrade to Fyfe this week instead of next! I guess my question is tucker and lee better than ruffles?

I have the same dilemma. Grab Rance/Docherty this week or double downgrade? These sort of decisions never seem to work out!

Hard decision ants.  If Ruggles averages 59 and he keeps playing he is predicted to rise 112k over the next 3 weeks.  (50k this week). Something to consider as part of the discussion.  Also if you have Brown or Dea they should also top out in the next couple of weeks and will be requiring downgrade options. 

Regarding Fyfe he has a B/e of 132 so Price will not change much either way.

For information I have done the double downgrade for cash.

i tend to agree ringo but could cost me a few league wins this week!

[Ringo]

I do not worry too much about league wins early as you only need to finish in Top 8.  My main aim early is to get team finalised as quickly as possible then League wins will take care of themselves. (At the moment I am 18th in 2 leagues)

[tkringle]

I was going to trade paps all week, but now thinking its a better idea to downgrade a couple of failed midpricers..

Cya later Lonergan and Harwood!
