2017 HoleMeal Team- Diary.

[HoleMeal]

OK so I am really stuck with what to do this week.

Definitely want WHE in, so am thinking to trade out McCarthy instead of Pickett, straight trade.

My second trade, if I do one is tricky.

See the below options.

1. Roughy out, Nank down to fwd line, Witts in ruck.

2. O'Meara out, Hibberd down to mids, Adams in def.

3. Roughy to Higgins or Buddy.

4. another option??

Thoughts guys....

BACK- Doch, Howe, Laird, Marchbank, Hampton, Otten (Hibberd, Stewart)

MID- Danger, Treloar, JPK, Murphy, Fyfe, Oliver, Beams, Powell-Pepper (Barrett, O'Meara, SPS)

Ruck- Nank, Sandi (Preuss)

FWD- Dahl, Greene, Roughy, Butler, Houston, Pickett (McCarthy, Eddy)

$238,700 in bank.

anyone?

Roughy out, Nank down to fwd line, Witts in ruck, is what you should do in my opinion.

This is because Witts is a real bargain - $200k and scoring high

How About McCarthy/Eddy/Pickett to Witts via Nankervis. Roughy is still making cash and plays out of form Suns next week so worth holding.  Also means you only have to field 2 rookies as well.

I like this.
Thanks Ringo, a fresh set of eyes sometimes helps.  :D

Yeah, I'd do this as well.

thanks EM.

looks like cash generation will be difficult this year and need to make it while we can.

Assuming McCarthy to WHE which will put Pickett back on the bench yeah?

I prob wouldn't use my other trade to be honest.  Hold it till another solid rook comes in and then trade a spud rook like Pickett for them.  I'd give Rough another chance, but if you don't want to miss out on Witts then go for it.

I'm in a similar boat, trading Taranto to WHE but don't have any other pressing issues.  I didn't start with Murphy, Witts, Higgins so for me they are just guys I missed out on and not worth chasing if I don't need to.  Of course I still have a few days to panic burn that 2nd trade! ;)

[Jroo]

I would definitely bring Witts in, he's a bargain and you have the luxury of swinging Nank to the rucks if anything goes wrong

I would bring Witts into my team but it would mean trading out Stefan Martin so there is no real point

[R.Griffen]

Roughy out, Nank down to fwd line, Witts in ruck.

Lock that trade in, Witts is flying

[HoleMeal]

Went with 1 trade in the end- Cam McCarthy to WHE.
McCarthy went down in price and WHE went up so happy all round.

Scored 2219 so par score I reckon.

$229k in bank and 28 trades left- going for league.
Keepers in bold.

BACK- Doch, Howe, Laird, Marchbank, Hampton, Otten (Hibberd, Stewart)

MID- Danger, Treloar, JPK, Murphy, Fyfe, Oliver, Beams, Powell-Pepper (Barrett, O'Meara, SPS)

Ruck- Nank, Sandi (Preuss)

FWD- Dahl, Greene, Roughy, WHE, Butler, Houston, (Pickett, Eddy)

Early thoughts for this week are...
Stewart for Newman
O'Meara out, Hibberd down to mids and Newman in.

Comments as usual appreciated.

[Ringo]

I would do Hibberd/Stewart to Newman
and O'Meara to a prem forward via Pickett Would take Miller/Higgins/Buddy or Macrae strengthens that line but your choice.

Agree with Ringo, Macrae is my pick out of the lot.

[HoleMeal]

Ended up going Barrett to Newman via Hibberd DPP
And then OMeara to McCrae via Pickett DPP
