Boak & Lloyd due to drop a bundle so I'd grab Clarry & Laird.

Cheers Bully, Yes BEs of 154 and 149.

But cash gen is a problem this year. It will take me 2 round to get another premo as my bench fodder, Answerth/Hayes/Corbett/Settlefield are not ready to cut yet. Thinking of getting Lloyd and wait for Boak.

Leaning towards the below. J.Kelly's low ownership has me thinking.
Option 1: Walsh Duursma > Lloyd J.Kelly
Option 2: Walsh Duursma > Lloyd Oliver
Option 3: Parker Duursma > Lloyd Laird
Option 4: Drew Moore > Laird Boak

O1 give me:
Lloyd Whitfield Williams Smith Moore Hore (Answorth Burguss)
Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly M.Crouch Rocky Libba  (Stack Hayes B.Scott)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Danger Heeney Kelly Baker Drew Parker (Corbett Setterfield)

5 rookie upgrades - 20 trades left

Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly M.Crouch Rocky Libba  (Stack Hayes B.Scott)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Danger Heeney Kelly Moore Baker Corbett (Parker Setterfield)

Option 1: Baker & Stack > R.Young & Boak
Option 2: Parker & Moore > R.Young & C.Daniel
Option 3: Parker & Duursma > R.Young & Hurley
Option 4: Parker & Stack >  R.Young & Crisp
Option 5: Parker & Moore > Fort & Cameron

Option 1 leaves bench pretty weak:

Lloyd Whitfield Williams Smith Hore Duursma (Answorth Burguss)
Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly M.Crouch Rocky Libba  (Setterfield Hayes B.Scott)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Danger Heeney Kelly Boak Moore Corbett (Parker Young)

Anyone got a downgrade target?

[Bully]

Think you have to target top 6 players so Boak is the obvious choice. As far as downgrade targets go, Atley & Garner impressed me today so they should be on the radar. Fort also but that would entail bringing Bines to F8.

For what it's worth I'm grabbing Fort this week & will then reassess the other two.

Looking at:

Stack>Hinge
Moore>Boak

Lloyd Whitfield Williams* Smith Hore Duursma (Hinge Burguss)
Neale Cripps Fyfe Macrae J.Kelly M.Crouch* Rocky Libba  (Answorth Hayes B.Scott)
Gawn Grundy (Bines)
Danger* Heeney Kelly Boak Baker Corbett (Parker Setterfield)

These would be ideal future trades:
Hore > Sicily = 150k
Duursma > Stewert/hurn = 180-220k
Libba > Oliver = 180k
Baker > Mundy = 230k
Parker > Cameron/Daniel = 236k

Need 2 bench rookies to get to 350
2 rookie to 300k
1 rookie 260

hmmm... not likely. Might have to rethink the last 5 spots.

Agree but exposes backline to either Hinge or Anisworth.

Killing me I missed Dunkley.

[PowerBug]

You have done very well though, that's a very solid side. Perhaps worth waiting on Rocky -> Sloane until next week because that move won't net you anything this week and gives you another week of information. Especially if there's no plans on trading next week anyway.
