2,188 this week, was nice to get a full team on the park, after munching on 2 donuts last week. Getting Sicily back with be a bonus, not sure Petracca.... Have enough $$ to trade Holman to anyone bar Danger. Pies look to have a run of 6 winnable game, so maybe Pendles or Treloar need to come in. But someone like Macrae would suit my bye structure better, wouldn't mind Ducky, but already have 12 currently missing R14. Other trade might be Murray (a week or two early) for Duman or Cole, or maybe just hold it for another day.

I'm thinking of trading Walters to one of Deledio, Taranto or Sicily. Any thoughts on the three?

Having the same headache with Walters, also still have Billings and Bonner had plans for this round which now have been scuppered, can we trust Sicily who would be obvious at either end of the ground, would like go early on a couple of rookies for cash. It would seem the footy Gods intervene at every turn.

Yeah tough decisions this round, feels like the trades made this round and over the next couple of weeks after will be season defining. For now I'm thinking of holding Sauce and Billings for the long haul and trading Holman and Walters up to Zerrett and Deledio. Happy to pass on Duman as there will be either one or two downgrades for me to get in next week, then follow with more upgrades the week after to Danger, Howe etc.

His b/f dpp status is enticing too

Trying to upgrade my forward line but it's tough predicting the top 6-8 forwards this year.

Gray, Franklin, Heeney and Sicily look the goods but who else?

Westhoff's form looks unsustainable, and what happens when Ryder returns?
Mundy playing well but he is 33.
McLean maybe?
Deledio and Taranto have been up and down and what happens when Kelly returns?
Hogan has a favourable next 3 weeks, only one bad game.
JJ Kennedy is back and has been a performer before.
Greene, Walters and Parfitt have injuries.
Acres and Robinson are outside chances.

Edit - Deledio now injured too!

Worth holding Walters 2-3 weeks, not many forward options apart from Mclean.

I'm going to trade Zerrett and Sicily in this week still, but I'm unsure as to whether I'm going to trade out Holman and Walters or Billings rather than Walters. For now thinking that I will trade Billings as long as I can avoid a donut this week, otherwise it'll have to be Walters. To avoid a donut I need all bar 1 of Stephenson, Fritsch, English, ZGL and Garlett to be selected this week.

I cant hold Walters especially if Petracca is still not playing. I also habve the added stress of Zorko pooing it up with no sign of breaking a tag anytime soon. Added to the fwd line of Ryan and Fogarty on the bench is becoming an issue i have to deal with quick smart. Thoughts of Walters- McLean and then Ryan to Spargo/Ronke leaves 470k to upgrade Zorko next week (possibly Danger). Spargo/Ronke would also cover Petracca if he doesnt get up.

Some good questions here what makes you think Walters will only be out for 2-3 weeks? Isnt his injury normally a 4-6 one? If were 2-3 id also hold although was he was he starting to play more forward than mids before his injury? Thought I noticed that the week before his injury and ive already got that damn billings anchored forward in a crappy team that never gets the ball up there and even when they do it goes straight to his opponent. 40s sure aint what i paid for! Hes lost too match cash to ditch though now. I want to axe bonner like nobodys business but I just know if I do that he'll ton up again like he did in round 1 when I passed him up. What is it about this game? Whoever you trade out aces it and whoever you trade in spuds it.

Whats everyones thoughts on spargo and ronke? I'm thinking im probably going to have to jump on one of them a week early with next week in mind. Looking like an Important best buys this week,

Claims of Walters being out for 2-3 weeks can be found on AFL.com. With thoughts on Spargo and Ronke, I have no idea how good Ronke is or what his job security is like, but I know that Spargo is a very good player. I'm hoping Spargo can keep his spot in the 22, but can't guarantee he will when they get some players back. I think he'll score well while playing

Anyone considering going Jaeger to JPK? Only costs about 3K

I have considered it, however he is likely to get tagged by Jacobs this weekend. That could be a better idea next week.
