hayward vs houston?

The one that is on the bubble.

[crowls]

How come you guys are trading one of parfitt/pickett out? Are your teams that perfect or are you not liking their cash generation prospects? Do you have any actual replacements that you didn't already have? I assume everyone has SPP & barrett?

Because their scoring like shower and Butler/Houston are scoring better

This is the week to get the rookies you want

Not this year. Sure grab WHE but there is Miles and Newman to get next week who look like possibly better options than all other rookies bar WHE this week.

True, could be worth waiting a week and going Miles over Houston.

Harley Balic is another to look out for, averaging 32 touches and 7 clearances in the WAFL and in Ross' post match presser he said ''On these results, we are just going to have to start playing kids''

Been waiting a long time to see Balic on the park.  Will be in my team when he gets a crack.


Dont have Butler but WHE is more important to get in.    Going Picket to WHE.
Want Murphy/Witts, considering Butler for Parfitt/Barrett. 
Murphy looks like he is heading back to 110+ territory or better.   Makes him a bargain at current price.  and would give my SPP/JOM at M8/9 only one more mid needed to 8 on the field. 


Witts is good value due to the cash he can free up. Spewing I ended up with Goldy/Sandi instead of my sandiwitts option.  Donut didn't help!.


Sane decision would be Pickett/WHE and Parfitt to Butler or just do WHE trade.   


Really really tempted to do Goldy>Murphy via Nank.  Figure will get points upgrade from Nank/Sandi r1/2 and if sandi falls over swap to witts.   Otherwise upgrade to Gawn/Martin/Grundy come mid year.   40 points per week upgrade and 60k in the bank.   Bal 188K for next upgrade.    Would be down to 26 trades and need to park up for a couple of weeks.     Would have Barret, SPS and SPP on bench in Mids and Eddy/Houston on fwd bench.   


Down 150 points in two rounds due to C in rd1 and Goldy donut.

Is Bowes worth hanging on to (versus Butler or Houston)? Thx

I don't think so, Butler and Houston will rocket in price this week.

So if both Houston and Butler get named this week and you can only pick one - which one do you pick?

I actually think Houston will be more reliable/consistent but Butler might have the better JS

Bottom line, we only need them to play the next 4 games and their job is done

If Pittard and HH return this week and Houston holds his spot I think he might be the one

If Houston manages to hold his spot with those two returning that is a good sign but then it might take up some of the ball he would have been getting, I'd go Butler, just feels safer.

+1...if he holds when those both come back he's coming in

Am I crazy to consider not getting WHE?

Ryder to Butler and GHS to Rocky/Bont etc is mighty tempting

Problem is it leaves me with Pickett, Florent, Parfitt etc

I guess next week I could trade Pickett to Hayward, Balic etc and use Florent at M9 to DPP fwd

Feel like the short term gain is there, but long term cash generation might be a problem

Thoughts?

Don't mind those trades. I've looked at getting SPP to the bench just in case I lose a mid. The others simply aren't up to it.

[Gambino]

Is it worth getting in Otten if you don't already have him?

[Bully]

Is it worth getting in Otten if you don't already have him?

Yes, should hit 300k in three weeks.

Been thinking about this myself. Tempted to hold trades this week and wait on the next batch of rookies as my guys will still make some cash. This is mainly cause i used 2 last week with Goldy out as my cash league h2h games started last week :p
