The Playing Rookies Thread

Once I cull Clark or Salem, it means I have Hogan, Krak, Bellchambers and one of Clark/Salem filling F5-8 so that's sweet, and culling one of them allows me to turn Goodes into a premo giving me a 4 def premo which in turn means I can move Tosh or Ox from the field to the bench, so those 2 trades are going to be really good for my team, and then I can sit tight for a few weeks and let all my cows moo

[Big Mac]

If Tarrant goes big tomorrow I could bring in Krak and Tarrant for NVB and Lamb

Would leave me with 500k though  :o

Why the flower did i start heeney..

Did the same. Had Heeney and not Vanders....lost 100 points right there.

That was me :(. How frustrating is that one. 165 point difference in that move.

Plenty of options next week, looking at a double downgrade.

No idea who but Heeney, Salem and Newton will be on the outer i think

I swapped him on for CEY at the last second. I thought at least not starting sub was a known quantity.

Buuuuurned

Yeah those 3 would head the list I think

Ideally, I'd like to dump Heeney, but I really need to upgrade Goodes to a premo to sure up my backline, so I might have to cull Salem or even Belly to get the cash I need. I'll be doing everything possible not to trade Belly though. Might even just do one downgrade this week, say Heeney, then downgrade Salem next week to get another price rise out him

Why would anyone downgrade Slaem for?

Had a minus 18 breakeven this week and scores 76 this week.

Heeney out injured now with the 7 in his rolling average surely is the one to trade out next week.

Because he is worth more, meaning we get more cash to use by trading him

At the same time, he is scoring well, but nothing special. Mainly the cash

Heeney to Krak is looking likely, especially if he misses time with the ankle/shin

Still don't think Salem should be traded out next week.

He is money in the bank and will keep going up for a few more weeks yet.

Better to cull around round 7-8 for when upgrades start.

Just have to do the math

Might miss out on an extra 50-70k by trading him early, but if it means it allows me to bring in a premo, the points I gain, plus the cash I make from the downgrade target will outweigh it
