Yeo with the bye and not doing it for me this year. Duncan at a great price. Hopefully Hill is back. No neale has really hurt this year.

Lloyd Doc Stewart Ridley Laird Hill
(Ling Rivers)
Macrae Kelly Cripps Titch Bont Duncan Parker Simpson
(Bennell Budrick Close)
Grundy Gawn (Cameron)
Whitfield Martin B.Smith D.Smith Rankine Taylor 
(Skinner Davis)

Leaves 14 trads and 4 rookie to upgrade.

[Ringo]

Can not argue as the players being brought in are the same 3 I am looking at.

[Samsturmfels]

have you considered trading taylor? average of 40 in last two games and losing cash

[Carn]

Last week:
Star>Stewart
Yeo>Duncan
Taylor>Draper

Sitting 17k,  14 trades.
So sick of not having Neale every week,
I did something dumb. Sold all my high prices rookies to get him.

Hill>watson
Simpson>woodcock
D.smith>neale

Lloyd Doc Stewart Ridley Laird Watson
(Ling Hamill)
Neale Macrae Kelly Cripps Titch Bont Duncan Parker
(Bennell Close Rivers)
Grundy Gawn (Draper)
Whitfield Martin B.Smith Rankine Woodcock Budrick
(Cameron Davis)

Now no cash and weak fwd line. But, 18 only this week then get Budrick up to Simpkin next week. Leaves 9 trades 3 upgrades.

Do I go for Big O, and leave the backline exposed?
Hammil> Bytel
Bennel>Wicks
Budrick>Big O

(Ling Watson)
Neale Macrae Kelly Cripps Titch Bont Duncan Parker
(Bytel Close Wicks)
Grundy Gawn (Draper)

(Woodcock Davis)

I would have to hope Rivers/Watson get named!

R13
Close > Rookie
Rankine > Simpkin

R14
Trent Rivers > Rookie
Draper>J>Martin/Ceglar/Winguard

R15
Bytel>Rookie
Watson> Rampe/Rich/May/Colins

Would leave me with 2 trades:
Lloyd Doc Stewart Ridley Laird Rampe
(Ling Rookie)
Neale Macrae Kelly Cripps Titch Bont Duncan Parker
(Bytel Rookie Wicks)
Grundy Gawn (Cameron)
Whitfield Martin B.Smith O.McInerney Simpkin Winguard
(Woodcock Davis)

I'd get a D6 premo if i was you. Watson and Rivers not guaranteed to play and Rankine good enough to leave on field for now. The main reason why i have avoided players like the big O is that he still has his bye.

Would love to get a def premo. Any suggestions for one under 430k?

arent any good options for that price. Theres guys like Thurlow, Hurn, B.Smith, B.Williams but none of them will probably be consistent enough.

thoughts on my team? http://forum.fanfooty.com.au/index.php/topic,113948.0.html

Changed tact:
Rankine > Wicks
Bennel > Bytel
Hamill > Z.Williams

Lloyd Doc Stewart Ridley Laird Z.Williams
(Ling Watson)
Neale Macrae Kelly Cripps Titch Bont Duncan Parker
(Bytel Wicks Rivers)
Grundy Gawn (Draper)
Whitfield Martin B.Smith D.Cameron Woodcock Close
(Budrick Davis)

Love my backs/mids/ruck.
Fwds are weak. Maybe, Budrick & Close > Rookie & Simpkin next week.
Just need D.Cameron and Woodcock to be named for the next few weeks.
Hopfully get .J.Cameron in a few weeks

[Ringo]

Much cash left

Williams went ok for you.

Will have to play Budarick now that Close is out Hopefully reaches B/e  to allow downgrade.

Not much, enough for six pack (just).
20k

I felt like my backline cover was too weak so had to upgrade there, 460k for williams was a good price. Will look to get Simpkin/J.Cameron/Cegar/J.Martin/Winguard in the coming weeks. Or flip gawn out for fwd upgrades.

Leaves me with 9 trades + 3 extra coming!

(Ried Davis)

Byes
Rd 14 Laird, Neale (Davis) = 3
Rd 15 Stewart, Macrae, Bont,  Duncan, B.smith, Simpkin, Close (Bytel) = 7
Rd 16 Grundy, Martin = 2

So if we are best 18 from R14, 15, 16 (R13,17,18 for 22)

Instead of finishing teams do we just make sure we get all the ultra premos. i.e Duncan > Oliver, B.Smith > Petracca instead of Woodcock > J.Cameron, Close > Winguard ?

[crowls]

finals are 14, 16-18 I think so can juggle trades for prems for first finals but leave you exposed come GF if you make it.   
I like to win finals though my focus is on overall each year.    So depends on your focus?
