Pretty new here and would like to thank everyone for there advice. Im thinking Duigan> Rookie Ward> Pavlich Then swap him to forwards with Krak, opening up MPP for me. I would love Chapman but dont have the $$$ and Illes looks a good downgrade too, cheers.
Were people impressed with Mitch Wallis? I thought his attack on the ball was first class. A Libba > Wallis trade and Pittard > Chapman trade could be on the cards this week.
I am planning duigan>enright however that might change depending on news on broughton. if its an LTI it might become broughton>enright. hope not
damnfunky - Harvey has already come out (last week) and said Broughton's back injury wasn't serious and that he expected him to be playing against the Tigers this week. The Herald Sun stuffed up by listing his injury as "indefinite".

I have the Chapstick in my sights this week. Swallow/Harris to Iles and then an upgrade to Chappy. Anyone got any advice on who of Swallow or Harris to cull? May be a decision for many coaches this week. Then next week Swallow/Harris/Libba for Hibberd and upgrade one of the 3 for Pendles. Then later on looking at Enright a bit furtehr down the track once B Smith, Lower and Stanley have mooed some more.
Ive got $457,600 to spend this week. Early thoughts were to get Dal Santo/Selwood into my midfield for Ward/Heppell/Curnow/Vince but think i may hold off for week or two and upgrade into Swan when he bottoms out. Also with Duigan hit his peak really need to offload him and as their isnt any decent downgrade targets im thinking ill upgrade him to Duffield. Would then allow me to bring Chappy in for Tapscott.
Waiting on Higgins reports to go either Stanley - Puopolo Higgins - Chapman Or if Higgins is back probably McKernan - Harper Stanley - Enright
Mummy looks to be a more consistent higher scoring upgarde, only thing to consider is Petrie's MPP. Could you possibly look at bringing in Mummy for your non-playing Ruck, I've been using Petrie between the Ruck and Forward line in tandem with the non-playing Tippet from the GC. I missed out on Z.Smith so this is next best thing in terms of flexibility, although I did pick McCauley from Bris at the start and he has just had his first price rise. This guy playing saverd me with the byes this last week.
@ BB - Don't trade Higgins. HE was doing great until he was injured. Upgrade someone else to Chappy. Not sure I like Petrie to Mummy either, with Petrie having a low BE. What do your other rucks look like? I may wait a few weeks on Enright and get him once Lower and Stanley haved mooed enough.
one other thing is a query, duigan to thompson (crows) missed the boat or jump on anyway now that davis is gone for an extended period?
Thompson is still a goer, he went up $80K odd and with Davis gone he is a sure thing in defence, but I would still check any other cheaper options. Thomo seems to have good job security and still has quite the negative BE this week still.
At this stage Duigan to Watson, although i will have enough cash to go Duigan to Enright Then Im going either Darling or Tapscott to Chappy. Which allows me to turn libba into Swan in R8 By round 9 i should have a fwd line of Chappy, Dick Riewoldt, Rioli, Fyfe, Goodes, Pav, Higgins which im happy with, hopefully they all fire.
Hard to choose what midfield cows to go first, but they will all go eventually (except maybe Curnow). Swallow - BE of 31 Harris - BE of -4 Libba - BE of 23 Seems like Swallow is the man to go, even though his ceiling is bigger than Harris I reckon.
