1 trade left.  Do I use it now to turn Rocky into Macrae, or hold till the final week?
Depends if you have good cover on the bench if another mid got injured this week ? if so go for it , if not maybe hold and your situation in leagues and ranking also  ;)

Going for overall so I might risk it to try and cash some extra points, have decent cover on all lines...or so I think right now.  ::)

Go for it!! If you don't make it through to the final you will be kicking yourself. Happened to me before and cost me the win. That's provided you have cover for the final however. Most people won't hold back in an effort to make the grand final, in my experience anyways.
I have two trades left and am thinking of doing my final downgrade/upgrade. Coming 212 overall so no chance in that regard.
Any thoughts on the following:
Downgrade Ballard to Freeman and upgrade T.Smith for Lobb as my F7. (GWS have one Saturday then a sunday game)
Downgrade Ballard to Freeman and upgrade Coniglio to anyone? (I have Titch, Cripps, Danger, Oliver, Macrae, Neale, Crouch and Coniglio)
Downgrade Ahern and upgrade Goldy to Grundy???
Pretty happy with my backs and forwards and don't see much upside in messing with those areas.
Your thoughts would be appreciated guys.

The Goldy to Grundy move looks good especially if Ryder is out this week.  Prob nets you a few more points than going Coniglio/Crouch/Neale to an Ablett type.

Still holding on with 1 trade left.... Wonder how much tonight's teams will hurt.

Get another chair out for me!

I will be joining the club this weekend and then nervously watching every game to see if I can hold my top 10 spot (currently 5th overall).

Will be using my final trade on Walters --> JPK.
Hmmm.... I'm not sure I'll do this now :-\

Jeremy Howe out again. I am not holding you for another week. No more trades left for me.

Good luck Chrispy, hopefully you get through unscathed and get a few points back on the leader.

Very indecisive. Is it worth me joining this club today? Have two trades left with a full side and cover in defence and mid. Nothing forward or in the ruck. My opponent has Gawn and Grundy where as I have Gawn and Goldy. Looks like it will be a close one and I think Grundy might do a number on Ryder who isn't 100%. I'm thinking might be better to hold the trades for any injuries next week and hope that I make it through or should I go for it and bring in Grundy? Will require both my trades though! :-\

Getting Grundy is a good idea but using both trades maybe not , can you use one trade to get some cover FWD and maybe loophole ? leaving one trade and cash to upgrade someone next week if no injuries ?

Currently 527 overall and in 9/9 league prelims, 3 cash leagues.
Using my last trade on Shaw to Crispy chicken wings, hope he delivers the spice 8).
Good luck to those still in it.
