CrowsFan's - Opinions Needed

[CrowsFan]

Ok so here is my current sided, which is not performing like I had expected:

Hodge, Malceski, Kelly, Goodwin, Waters, Kennelly, Silvagni (Nason, Davis)

Ablett, Barlow, Stanton, Vince, Bastinac, Judd (Mitchell, Shuey)

Kreuzer, Tippett (Warnock, Trengove)

Brown, O'Keefe, Pavlich, Harvey, Ballantyne, Hall, Podsiadly (Rockliff, Roberts)

Currently I have 14 trades left and $225,000. I am thinking of doing these 2 trades this week:

Nason to Hargrave. this solidifies my backs and shouldn't need to touch them for a while.

and Bastinac to Howlett. i think bastinac has peaked and when mitchell gets back will only have one rookie on field which is barlow.

I know if i do this i will only have 12 trades left and $278,600 but i think i wont need to trade for a while, as my forwards are pretty solid.

what do you all think?

I like your thinking

Wot is your under performing teams ave it looks a solid squad to me except maybe Tippy but the Tiges might play him back into form. Got some nice coin for upgrades also.

[CrowsFan]

averaging 2106. when i say underperforming i mean certain people like goodwin and vince. well to be honest my crows players haha. if they get back into form i will be very happy with the team and then will leave it for a while

[jameswilson]

saw something that said silvani may be out but not to sure about that one.

Also hargrave is averaging 64. Not wortha look spend some off the salery on a premum. u dont need to touch the forwards and u r wait for mitchell. might as well use the money to increase your weekly score by 70-100 points

Ok with the above trades done. yes should have listened about hargrave. my team looks like this:

Hodge, Malceski, Kelly, Goodwin, Waters, Kennelly, Hargrave (Silvagni, Davis)

Ablett, Barlow, Stanton, Vince, Judd, Mitchell (Howlett, Shuey)

Kreuzer, Tippett (Warnock, Trengove)

Brown, O'keefe, Pav, Harvey, Ballantyne, Pods, Hall (Rockliff, Roberts)

Only concern is Hall, thought he would come good but no such luck. I have enough in bank to straight swap for Chapman leaving only $200 in bank. Should I do this or go for a cheaper option - Gia, Didak etc? Which leaves me money if I get an injury.

This would be final trade for a while I hope

Whilst Hall to Chapman is a good trade IMO, you have to remember that last Friday's game was in wet, slippery conditions where Key Forwards like Hall generally perform poorly compared to dry conditions. The week before that Hall played against St Kilda who generally have one of the most stingy defences & used players in a zone to cut off passes that went to Hall.

big_cox you may be right, but i originally had him in my team as a cash cow so trade up to a more consistent player. at his current price he has only risen 11k but according to tooserious if he scored 120 in both of the next two game weeks he will be at the same price he is now. so think it is time for him to go. i'm sure lots of people will hang on to him, but i am sick of him and want a more consistent player

[Big_Cox14]

CrowsFan you do make a good point about Hall. But the only concern with Chapman is his fragile hammies. Otherwise, Chappy is in perfect form at the moment. If you do this trade, your forward line will look very handy with the addition of Chappy.
