Hello all,

Here's my team:

DEF: Hodge, Gilbee, Enright, Kennelly, Waters, Ladson, Hunt (Maguire, Nason)

MIDS: Swan, Bartel, Dal Santo, K.Cornes, Barlow, Bail (Martin, Jetta)

RUCKS: Sandi, Nic Nat (Renouf, Warnock)

FOR: O'Keefe, J-Brown, Byrnes, Hall, Ziebell, Dangerfield, Pods (Gumbleton, Peterson)

I have $408k in the bank and have already made 6 transfers. I've only scored 1861 & 1840 the past 2 rounds. I want to make at least 1 transfer this week (on Friday!) of Peterson who looks ready to be milked with a 77 breakeven. Then I hear this about Dangerfield being out for a month: http://www.afl.com.au/news/newsarticle/tabid/208/newsid/93172/default.aspx

Of course J-Brown looks like he's playing injured and sure to drop in price, and Hunt has a breakeven of 66. Out of Hams/Davis/White, I prefer Hams but you can get Davis in the forward line and he's not a bad downgrade option either. What should I do before this weekends games? Here are my individual options as I see them:

1) Sell Peterson to Sylvia, who has a 72 breakeven compared to Didak's 92
2) Sell Peterson to P.Davis, and make $105k
3) Sell Peterson & Dangerfield, get Sylvia & P.Davis
4) Sell Peterson & J-Brown, get Sylvia & P.Davis
5) Sell Peterson & Hunt, get P.Davis & Hams
6) Sell Peterson & Hunt, get Sylvia & Hams
7) Sell Peterson & Hunt, get Sylvia & upgrade Hunt to leave myself with around $50k left.

With option 7), if I did the double upgrade this week I'd be forced to downgrade Renouf next week for Lobbe/Roughead (BULLDOGS) instead of upgrading for Cox. What do people think of a ruck division of Sandi, Cox, Nic Nat, Warnock? A good move have Nic Nat as backup because if Cox doesn't play he'll score well, or too much cash being left on the bench? Is Cox worth the upgrade as a starter compared to Nic Nat? I could then downgrade Warnock to a 77k ruck when he peaks, but that'll probably be a non-playing ruck compared to grabbing Lobbe/Roughead now as a 4th ruck.

With Dangerfield, Adelaide have tough fixtures after the next 3 matches (which Dangerfield will be missing at least). Check this out:

Brisbane (home)
St.K (away)
Freo (home)
Hawks (away)
Melb (home)
Essendon (home)
West Coast (away)
Geelong (home)
Port (home)
Richmond (away)

Would like to hear your thoughts because if I get this wrong I'm pretty screwed for the rest of the season (pretty screwed as it is I feel). Decisions, decisions, decisions.

Yeah I think so too. Huge post I know but I've just got so many options.

J-Brown not necessary to sell? It'd be really handy to have more certainty on his situation. I think I've made too many transfers to sell him but not many teams seem to be selling him anyway.

The Brown situation wouldn't want to be the Hodge from 2009 or the Judd from 2007 though where the situation deterioates instead of improves. But he's done alright playing injured in the past so yes I'll be keeping him and tomorrow I'm set to sell Dangerfield & Peterson for Sylvia & Phil Davis.

Cheers.
