Yes im thinking hibberd this week even though he will miss the following with the bye, is that pointless? That low score against the hawks goes out of his cycle now and as someone else pointed out he did still get a lot of possessions even in that one. I have hampton marchbank and otten ready to cull and stewart pretty close as well. Cash generation seems to be harder this year so need to get a bargain here and there.

Should we start considering michael walters? Not normally someone i would think about but i just had a look at the salary predicator 3 tons in a row including a big one on the weekend breakeven -13 and i understand hes playing in the midfield now?

Also is there any word on balic or pickett? They cant stay on my bench forever and the crunch of the byes is only a week away. Im fearing they will both need to be traded but it makes stuff all money especially pickett but i dont even see his name mentioned in the reserves writeups

Only 2162 this week. Kept plenty of trades and keep on bringing in more premiums, but scores don't improve.

My likely trades at this point are Marchbank to Hibberd and Pickett to Greenwood.

Although there's talk that Otten could be dropped for Jenkins which would make me rethink.

PB for the year of 2287. Have jumped nearly 20k spots, (still way back at 22K) in the last couple of weeks, as I slid very badly a few weeks ago after back to back sub 2000, so hopefully I am back on track. No trades last week, which was good. Was looking at Butler and Beams to Myers and Yeo. Glad I slept in (im in Europe) and missed the Butler trade, which meant I didnt have the cash to get Yeo.

For anyone still with Hampton
ADELAIDE midfielder Curtly Hampton’s ankle injury is worse than initially thought and he faces three weeks on the sidelines after an impressive start to the season

Sandi being rested this week...

I need Darcy Cameron to stop being a myth!

I'm in the same boat with both Otten and McGrath on the chopping block. Berry in the mids allows me to bring in Mid or Def premo.
I heard on a particular podcast this morning talk about Harbrow, but there was concern about Steven May coming back in and having an impact on his scoring. I'm not really considering Harbrow, so I haven't looked into it further.

McInnes I did look into pretty heavily, but similar to Harbrow I'm concerned with players coming back from injury ie: Petrie. The Eagles have been playing around with their ruck lineup quite a bit, with Vardy seemingly being no 1, Giles is on the outer and now McInnes has stepped in. I don't think I can go past him if he is named again this week though, especially with his DPP. Fortunately they play Saturday so we will know for sure if he survives.

So, my current (subject to teams) trades are: Otten -> McInnes, McGrath -> Dusty/Pendles (via Berry DPP)

@insider
My first bit of advice is to consider Petrie back in probably this week and Lycett probably week after bye. Will this hamper McInnes's JS. I'm not sure.
My first trade this week was to bring Harbrow in (I needed a RD12 player or Port/Suns player)......then thought about it a bit more and reversed it and brought Rance in, also considered Tuohy. My concern with Harbrow is his reliability, injury wise. He's already missed 3 and never averaged more than 85 in his 9 seasons before this one. And Hanley (not May as mentioned in an earlier post) returns in the NEAFL this week, so will his return to the seniors, curtail Harbrows output. Just some more things to consider.
