Woowww did teams absolutely destroy everything for me..  :o

First trade that I want to do is Adams to Macpherson (via M.Brown and Menadue)

With Currie, Barlow, Rosa and Wells all out, I'm left with some decisions to make

Barlow being dropped is a bummer, but considering he isnt actually injured and just dropped I'm hoping/expecting him to bounce back and be fit and firing next week. Wells is in a similar boat, who by all reports probably could have played this week, but being up against essendon I dont think they want to take any risks, I think itd be best to hold him too.
Option 1/2 - Barlow/Wells to any mid/fwd

Originally I started with Lobbe as ruck (yes spud, whyyyyy) and upon his omission settled fielded Currie who has been terrific and left Lobbe to rot on the bench whilst fixing other areas in my team. Now with Currie out im not sure if Cox has the ability to stand up and score well against Brisbane the third easiest team to score fantasy points against in the comp and wait for Currie to return/wait for a weak where trading out Lobbe is viable.
That leads me to option 3. Lobbe to Goldstein.

Finally there is Rosa who appears to be more long term, so will need to go either this week or the next. He can go to any defender, currently have him going out with Simpson, but really not sure who to choose there.. Also considering Leslie who has the advantage of a depleted GC team for JS and scored a whopping 151 in the NEAFL last week plus seems to be in good form or going wiht Mullett who appears to have less JS but is named for a second week as rookies are starting to get scarce. Which also means a double upgrade next week.
Option 4 - Rosa to any defender.

Current thoughts are to trade out Rosa as I can atleast see Cox doing well and have gone without a proper playing ruck for 3 weeks already. Trading out Lobbe will mean fielding Hartley and leaving myself with no bench cover for my defense.

Really stumped on this one... but leaning towards option 4.. Need some advice  :'( :-\

Going for league win if that is important info.

I'd go wherever you cover is the weakest mate.
I'm uncertain of what's the right move, this week has really hurt you but your ruck situation is screaming out to me to be fixed.
Well's will be back next week, Barlow a chance to be back (I hope)
Out of Lobbe and Rosa for me leaning towards Lobbe out for whoever and fix Rosa next week. Currie has a hip issue so hard to gauge when he'll be back.
As I said hard to know what the right move is, you really have it tough with all that.

Yeh its a really tricky situation, not sure if I should maybe be looking at who can score better out of Hartley or Cox? as I think whatever doesn't get fixed this week should get fixed next week.

Agree one this then the other next week for sure, Hartley the better chance at a decent score i'm thinking but there may not be alot in it.
With Daw named could Goldy miss this week, perfect time to rest him with that in mind i'll flip 180 and say fix Rosa this week just to be on the safe side.

Yeh real tricky one, Goldy has a BE of 121 from memory, so shouldnt lose/increase too much in value. On the other hand there is McVeigh and Simpson, 87 and 78 who should both hit their breakevens too. I think im happy to wait on Vince as i cant see his price changing too much, same with Boyd.

I think it's between McVeigh and Simpson in my eyes. Simpson averages over 100 if you take out his 57 (which im not sure what happened that day) and is 5th in marks per game and 11th in kicks per game in the comp, which is fantasy friendly or there is McVeigh who appears to be the common defender to bring in this week although im not sold with only one tonne which come against essendon where his team had 11 players score over 90 and he apparently racked up in junk time.

EDIT: Appears im using this thread to think aloud, appears im wanting to do the defensive trade and bring in SImpson. Open to other options/ideas..

I'd like McVeigh myself but willing to wait and see more, as you said it was the Bombers. I think you're on the money with Simpson, that's the way to go this week before he starts going up again. It's his 250th this week i'm tipping he'll want to have a good one.
