+ 
We still have 30 trades in hand………I know what I’d do with the TEAM if it were in my control………what would YOU do? Enter your trade suggestions into the comments below and our Coaching Staff will run an eye over it……
**UPDATE at 7.15pm on 12/4/18**
OK Coaches……..judging by the comments, it looks to be a fairly unanimous decision to trade Liam Ryan to Jack Henry, plus one of LDU/Brayshaw to Ed Richards. We’ll put it to a poll just to be sure (on that 2nd trade). Apart from that, we’re looking at the usual positional changes and choice of Captain. Josh Kelly being out is inconvenient but doesn’t look to be long-term. So he’s moved to the bench for a week. VOTE NOW………..

I would be looking at trading Fogarty, LDU or Ryan. 1 is injured, 1 was dropped and the other is performing badly. Not sure who to bring in though.
Higgins is still a week, Coffield is also a week.
Richards could be traded for LDU via Finlayson
Crowden is an option ad so is Henry but job security can cause concern
Forward line getting a bit thin. Need to look at trading out Fogarty, Ryan or both I’d say. Even swing Garlett to mid and trade out LDU too if needed
I’d keep Fogarty, he’ll get another chance eventually but unfortunately Ryan has to go for Henry or Crowder
I’d be doing two trades this week. One because Ryan is out and fogarty won’t play, and one because LDU and Brayshaw are stinking it up.
The first thing to note is we don’t have much money so prices are going to be critical, hence the only options are two rookies.
Obviously these trades are dependent on teams.
1) Trade out LDU, move Finlayson to midfield, Brayshaw to bench. Put Murray on field in defence, buy Richards and put him as emergency.
2) if Ryan is confirmed as out for a long time, trade him out. If less than 4-6 weeks, trade out fogarty. Trade Henry in to field, loophole Henry and Garlett.
How do you move Finlayson to the midfield without a defender in the midfield?
LDU is being traded out and Finlayson is moving into the midfield. This leaves a gap in the defence so richards fills that gap. So LDU –> Richards
That’s only a problem in Fantasy.
Is Henderson only a week or two away? If so, will be squeeze Henry out of the team?
fogarty is in
With Liam Ryan facing an extended period on the sidelines suggest trading him to Jack Henry (GEE) $123,900.
Henry is listed as a forward but is playing defence. His average is 60 and is on the bubble. JS should be okay considering Geelong’s backline injury problems.
If Ryan confirmed LTI and Henry is named
TU Trade L Ryan (WCE) to J Henry (GEE)
TD Better options elsewhere
Its going to be successful trading up of fattened cows that will be the key this year. We can’t have moderately performing high priced non cash generating rookies being list cloggers, so goodbye Brayshaw. He goes for O’Connor for two reasons…1) lack of viable mid rookies on bubble in mids (apologies to Crowden) and 2), with Finlayson also m/d, and O’connor not likely to play much, we get massive e loop options on two lines for the next few weeks until a new cow surfaces.
Fogarty should go, but if Ryan more than three weeks, he goes for Henry who with Cats light on for defenders, and now Guthrie gone down, looks to have good JS and is on the bubble. We can then add Fogarty or Ryan to our e loop options, effectively giving us three option with Finlayson/O’Connor.
We also end up with 176.9k which will greatly speed up our ability to bring in a new prem somewhere….we have 30 trades…time to use some to advantage.
Or maybe Hibberd to Simpson instead….LOL !!!
Just throwing this out there……..
Brayshaw/LDU to Ed Richards (via Finlayson) &
Liam Ryan to Jack Henry (GEE).
Give some other cows time to mature, some premiums more time to fall, then we pounce in a week or two…..
Brayshaw to richards absolutely..
Not sure about henry..may be better to wait a week to see how higgins goes?
Henry was concussed in first game, his first score only represents a half game.
When considering Henry you need to consider that point.
Just did some research….i now fully agree!
So this week do you rate henry over frisch?
Is Henderson only a week or two away? If so, will he squeeze Henry out of the team?
Pretty sure this is exactly what Harbour Heroes wrote above and has lots of thumbs up, so looks like this is what we should do!
I agree, but don’t trade out Brayshaw
We need to find a way to get BRAYDEN MAYNARD from the PIE’S into the team. Ya cant win the comp without him.
Are you Nathan Buckley?
I agree with the Ryan to Henry move
Its probably worth ldu to richards via finlayson dpp also then slot Finlayson onto field and let brayshaw prove his worth for one more week. Murray will cover finlaysons spot like a glove
This seems the best option to my mind.
I do like the dpp of crowden…we dont have a m/f.
Is Henderson only a week or two away? If so, will be squeeze Henry out of the team?
Nit considering current circumstances. If he performs well until then they should find a spot for him (forward or back) and if not then his job security is as good as most other rookies anyway. At least we know we have a couple if weeos at least for cash generation
Ok…seems like ryan to henry is pretty much on most people’s list. If not,,,who do we trade the lt injured ryan to ?
So, the decision is really down to the second trade, if there is a second trade to be done.
Why not list the main possibilities, and we vote ?
Schwartz, you need to add the option of playing Finlayson on field in the mids!
Im with the 2 trades to move Finlayson into mids on field bench brayshaw.
I think Barry might be the one to trade personally bar injuries he may struggle to get more game time
Stay with the ryan to henry trade.
I dont think Barry will play this weekend and i do feel it may be a time before/if he plays again could be a non playing bench…
Who’s the best replacement for Merrett? Cash not an issue.
Comment down below
Hold him!!!
Finlayson not a field optio for mids?! Would put him out there over Banfield.
Best output for team would be finlayson on field gws play dockers.
I still stick with move Barry on hes going to be a bench warmer
