[Ringo]

just watch your Rd 14 byes Carrn need to start considering now.  Trades though are sound.

Cheers Ringo, yes if a get crouch I will be overloaded in mid for RD14. Treloar/Oliver/Cripps would be better but all still to high $$$. The big question for me this week is do I take JPK+60k or Crouch?

[Ringo]

Hard one Carn - Sloane may be back for Crows and will that effect Crouch? Has JPK turned the corner and worth the risk?

Your team and go with gut but think Crouch more upside than JPK.

RD8 2220pt
OR 3717

Thinking
Christensen>Keefe
Murray>Simpson

Would leave me with:
Laird Yeo Sicily Simpson Doedee Finlayson (Mirra Murphy)
Dusty Titch Danger Fyfe Macrae Crouch Coniglio Kelly (Spargo Coffield Barry)
Gawn Goldstein (Olango)
Gray Heeney Mclean D.Smith Fritsch Higgins (Henry Keefe)

Then next week hopefully:
Henry>Phillps
Higgns>Boak/Mundy/Hogan
Or
Henry>Phillps
Finlayson>Hurley

Would leave me with R10:
Laird Yeo Sicily Simpson Hurley Doedee(Mirra Murphy)
Dusty Titch Danger Fyfe Macrae Crouch Coniglio Kelly (Phillips Coffield Barry)
Gawn Goldstein (Olango)
Gray Heeney Mclean D.Smith Fritsch Higgins (Spargo Keefe)

Hopfully Buddy and Greene are cheap by then or Boak/ryder after the bye.

[Carn]

I am worried about Keefe's JS so Phillips in early:

Christensen>Phillips
Murray>Simpson

Laird Yeo Sicily Simpson Doedee Finlayson (Mirra Murphy)
Dusty Titch Danger Fyfe Macrae Crouch Coniglio Kelly (Phillips Coffield Barry)
Gawn Goldstein (Olango)
Gray Heeney Mclean D.Smith Fritsch Higgins (Henry Spargo)

Wise moves?

[PowerBug]

Yep I like those moves, very similar to what I'm doing. Trading either Doe/Finlayson however as Murray has the lowest of the BEs.

I like doe's (BE77) JS and potential, Finlayson (BE72) age and mid swing so I thought I would cut Murray (BE50). Might be the wrong call but if Murray hits a 75 he only goes up 10k.

Leaning towards upgrading the forward line:
Laird Yeo Sicily Simpson Doedee Finlayson (Mirra Murphy)
Macrae Dusty Titch Danger Fyfe Coniglio Crouch Kelly (Phillips Coffield Barry)
Gawn Goldstein (Olango)
Gray Heeney Buddy* Mclean D.Smith Fritsch (Spargo T.Smith*)

Early thoughts:
Henry>Keefe/T.smith
Finlayson>Hurley/Lloyd/Savage/TMac/Webster/Howe
or
Henry>T.Smith
Higgins>Buddy
or
Henry>T.Smith
Kelly>Oliver/Cripps

Any advice welcomed guys?

I think getting howe into the backline would b a good move think buddy has cash to lose could b wrong

[Ringo]

All trades look good Carn - Not a lot on the bubble this week so have to take the risk on 1 game eg Smith.

Personally I would sit unless situation when teams announced changes. Maybe just do a downgrade early to get more cash to build for next week.  Although you have Gray I would seriously look at Boak next week and think he may be a better option than Buddy but your team. Helps with Byes as well.

Gawn Goldstein (Olango)
Gray Heeney Mclean D.Smith Walters Franklin (Spargo T.Smith)

Leaves 9 trades.

Any advice on how to get around the byes?

[Ringo]

Keep an eye on rookies coming through. Mirra to Mihocek after Pies Bye - One of the 3 mid benches to Ahern Rd 13 - Opens up the DPP to allow forward swing. Also Giro from Freo gets you through the byes and gives you cash plus 5.6 trades for injuries etc

Would also consider holding Doedee till the Rd 14 bye.
Would consider Mirra over Muphy to Austin if Murphy named. Mirra has this weeks bye as well and uncertain to get games.
