What a weekend?! We had five days of footy and the pain for some coaches was extended across the round. Connor Rozee’s hamstring will be a big watch ahead of Thursday’s Showdown while the fitness of Saints Rowan Marshall and Jack Steele will have us guessing. Then there were the role changes to Dayne Zorko and Tom Powell. Oh – and let’s not forget about the rookies who underperformed! Plenty discussed as we gear up for round eight.

Bailey Smith – Deck of DT 2025
D: Sheezel, Whitfield, N.Daicos, Young, Yeo, Cholsey (Graham, Howes)
M: Walsh, Bont, Martin, Crouch, Bonner, Roberts, Sharp, Ried (Garcia, Clark)
R: Gawn, Grundy (Barnett)
F: Heeney, Flanders, McCrae, Powell, Fyfe, Dempsey (Gallagher, Camden)
Was thinking of getting rid of Powell and Camden for Merrett and Curtin and move Ried in forward line and Garcia on forward bench and then move Graham mid and Sharp on bench and Curtin on defence bench. Thoughts…..
Thoughts on M Kennedy?
Trap
Is Sweet an option to run at ruck 3 for cash gen and flick Barnett forward on the bench?
Trading cadman and Campbell 4 mckercher and wowodin and $110 000 in bank yes or no
i wouldve thought having sweet in r2 would be even better given that you can bank a lot of cash, he got 95 last week and soldo is out for the next 3, which means once soldo has come back in, you can upgrade sweet to english/marshall/gawn.
I’m doing Powell > d Jones and then I have the option Sanders > anyone (1.05m)
Should I be preparing for byes now or just keep the good players coming in? I have 2 dodgy players, Maynard and Cadman
Who to get Rod of first
1) Sharp
2) Dempsey
3) Camden
dempsey or sharp
Def: Sheezel, Whitefield, Burton, Young, Clark, Clohesy (Draper, Scoenmaker)
Mid: Steele, Green, Bont, Martin, Roberts, Sanders, Sharp (Mckercher, Clark)
Ruck: Gawn, Grundy

Thoughts on what trades to do this week
