GRIMSEY FIX IT

[Watto]

Yeah, I know about Grimes, but he'll be back pretty soon (R2-3) and I don't want to waste a trade. Also, if my backmen reserves play then it won't matter.
But if I had to replace him with someone, then who?

Yeah, for Ottens who do you think then? I had McIntosh, but last two years he hasn't been too good and I'm not convinced he will be great this year.
Bellchambers possibly? Or McIntosh?

Had a play around with it, and I saw Jamar's out until R8, so Melbourne promoted Jake Spencer to main list.

If I get Spencer for Ottens, I can upgrade Raines to Cornes :) and have $145,000 left over.

I'm not sure Raines will be as good as everyone thinks this year. If he keeps his average of 70 going he will only go up about $100,000 (to around $370,000) and he won't be in my team at the end of the year, so Cornes is a good trade IMO

So, are Spencer for Ottens, and Cornes for Raines (+ $145,000 remaining) good changes?

How about Yarran out for Krakouer/Hentschel?
