Voting and advice much appreciated people, kind of an important decision early on here, if i cut the wrong one and then another gets dropped in following weeks it could be a disaster.

How many of these guys are on field, and what trades do you plan on making?

3 backline rookies on field  :o The upgrade will be to Docherty, was considering Bartel but prefer Docherty.

I think Brown or Ambrose goes forward this week considering McKernan is out. It depends how serious they are about playing Ambrose in defense but both were beaten last week. If they are going to flip flop Brown around I think he might be the first to go.

I was actually leaning towards Brown also as i also think he is the worst potential scorer of the 3, but Dea at 180k could save cash and i am also so/so on his JS.

I was thinking Dea was going to put up a 40 last week at one point and I was pretty dirty on it. He managed to bounce back so he survives the cull. To be honest I think if Brown goes forward he could score even worse because the delivery for Essendon won't be great. That is where the greater risk is.

I think GoLions came back, saw this and thought well..This guy is doomed, there's nothing can be done here and moved on.   ;D

I see your point, thanks for the help mate.
Planning any trades yourself this week or is your team pretty settled for now?

Haha, do you mean all 3 of these guys are on the field?

Also, where are you getting the cash to make this upgrade? If you're only fielding Dea, and have the other two on the bench (and for example have Adams and Weitering on the field as your other 2 rookies), then I'd hold my trades. Really need to know the full situation here, cause don't wanna give the wrong advice :P

I have stacked mids and gone weak in defense so i am ditching Sidebum to reinforce my weak ass backline (had thought fielding rookies down back would be ok if they averaged 60) 60 seems unrealistic and i'll still have 5 premo mids + wells/mills. Sidey down to BenKen who i want and have no one else to trade out for Kennedy anyway. It's not wasteful considering it is a must fix structure problem.
Adams + 2 Bombers rookies on field at the moment, I'll look at Weitering for one tarde next week if i need too.

Ah ok, that makes sense then! Like Mat said, I'd probably drop Brown.

Robbos is injured but I am holding, the only worry I have is Harwood and I am 50/50 on if I make the move this week or not.
