by Motts on July 10, 2012

How many trades will you enter this year’s finals series with? This is not how many you’re planning on entering the finals with – its how many you actually reckon you’ll have.

Got 5 at the moment … Sam Shaw -> “Premium” and Lake -> “Premium”, then it’s a full team!

8 heheh, only started round 10 though. Do you reckon Franklin will return faster then expected? His past injuries are normally speedy recoveries?

Sitting on 8, will use 2 this week and my team is done, I’ll coast into a top 4 spot. Hoping to only use 1 between now and the finals for an LTI and that leaves me with 5

My plan at the start was to have 4 come finals, but with all my LTIs ill be lucky to have 1 or 2 left by years end.

Have four ATM and with games against the bottom four teams in my league not trades are needed. I do have waters but will carry him for now hoping he will be back closer to four weeks and not six. Giles is my only upgrade left to do, but as I’ll finish top four I’ll play him and hold my trades.

It’s always hard to answer these questions without seeing the whole team but Old Mac & Treloar…….thanks for your services, but it’s time to cash in!

These are my 2 choices Stoney!

Solid team Stoney,

Sorry about the delay,

I tend to agree with most of what Andy has said, the only thing is you have a lot off F/M dpp’s.. Say good-bye to Old Mac ( thanks for your services ) depending on spare cash, get Goodes in to the mids ( that will be 6 premiums ). Then lose either Adams/Treloar as there weary young bodies are going to get weaker & Sheeds has said that each player will play a certain amount of games & players will be rested. Then either swap Adams/Treloar around or keep as is ( depends which one you want to keep ) lose 1 of them & get Murdoch in your forward line. This will give you at lease 2 M/F & heaps of F/M to swap around if injury occurs or young players are rested.

Good luck Stoney

Keeping the bottom 3 who are all DPP’s is my suggestion. Hopefully 2 out of the GWS youngun’s 3 would be playing most games from here on in.

Got 4, but in a dilemma. Currently in top 4, but playing team in 3rd this week then relatively easy after that. Other League I’m just outside the 8 and if I win remaining games will make it.

Do I keep 4 trades – playing either N. Brown, Smedts or Ellis as 7th defender and Patton, Dev Smith, Saad as 7th Fwd.

Or keep 2 trades and go for:
Yarran ( for N Brown) and B Green for (Saad or Dev Smith). B Green kicked 6 in reserves last week. So 7th Forward would be B Green, Patton or Saad.

haha i know, first season and if i wouldve seen a site like this at the start of the year i dont think id be anywhere near there. but when i started i just wanted the best team i could get asap. Still, ive got a team im real happy with and sitting pretty near the top of each of my leagues so might be ok.. but next year should be better.

Debating with myself to trade waters out for adcock. Will leave me with 1 trade left for a big upgrade come finals time with near 300k in bank if I do the trade. But doesn’t leave me with any option if I get a LTI to an important player.
Should I wait for waters to return in at worst 6 weeks at best 4. Or should I trade waters for adcock? Info suggestions appreciated
Other backs consist of h shaw, lake, Goddard, carrazzo, scotland, deledio (Sam shaw, Luke brown)

Looking at doing hopefully one final trade until finals, leaving me with 4, trading out Giles, for either Cox or Jacobs (have Nic Nac, Big O & Redden). Want to go Cox, but Jacobs leaves me with $233,000 for any last upgrades, whereas the Cox options leaves me with $111,000. Who should I take?

Thumbs up: Cox – much more likely to continue scoring big
Thumbs down: Jacobs – the extra money will come in handy

Hot debate. What do you think? Thumb up 8 Thumb down 6

Tough choice; I suppose it depends on the state of your team. Sauce is no spud but Cox is clearly the best Ruckman in the land.

I have 3 (4 if i push the reverse button)and sit undefeated in both leagues however I’m still in striking distance of winning the cash, sitting 108th, I now have problems with waters and buddy, will keep buddy but have to trade waters,I think I can fashion a goodes trade with waters and keep Porps for now, reasonable bench coverage is starting to get thin

What do you guys think about this little rip-snorter of a trade:

M.Clark -> Yarran
Treloar -> Goodes

?

Mitch Clark is a forward, but I’m assuming you mean Marty Clarke from the Pies? Personally, I am not a fan of people trading for Yarran. I don’t think he’ll continue to score so freely and he comes with an injury risk. I like the Goodes trade though!

yeah im the same, yarran can go missing….often…. i would choose clarke over yarran any day but if your wanting to trade clarke why not newman? looks like hes starting to hit some good form, i will be keeping an eye out for him for sure

Who should I upgrade Scott Selwood to? I have a feeling J. Selwood will slow down a little bit towards the end of the year, so I’m thinking about Pendles or Swan?

Or the other option is for me to upgrade my defence.

Also, should I have Beau Wilkes on the field for Morris/Ellis this week seeing as he got 88 last week?
