Which of these two options are best? (please help!!)

[Chimpy]

hey guys,

which of these options would you go for and why? any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.

double trade option 1:
brennan out --> hughes
Jetta out --> ablett

or

double trade option 2:
brennan out --> stevieJ in
jetta out --> palmer in

15 trades left - 169000 in bank.

If you have 1.6m in the bank I suggest you get chappy and ablett in for 2 rookies!!!

[Chimpy]

oops!  :-[. added an extra zero.  yes 1.6 million would be nice.

Will Hughes be on field in your forward line for Brennan ?

[Chimpy]

no, i would have him and rockliff on the pine

[Dimsim]

EASY decision, if you can get Ablett, GET HIM!!

[wipz]

Get ablett then.

option 1 but 3 things:
1) you're getting an unknown rookie in hughes - make sure rookie has good js, else wear donuts  later
2) you're getting gaj at prohibitive price - too expensive, swan might be better value for now?
3) there's a possibility brennan's injury might be only about 3-4 weeks as vossy had suggested a couple days ago - if you don't have j brown a straight swap for brown next week looks better too

hi exlam, thanks for the advice.

fortunatley, i have both swan and brown in my team at the moment. with these things in consideration, what do you think i should do?

additionally, no i am not sure hughes will play out the majority of games this year. but, against that, i actually think he has a better chance at game time than most of the cheap forward rookies going around at the moment. i could get watts instead? but he is a fair bit more expensive.

Using the same theory, your next best would be Montagna, as your need for Ablett with Swan already in your team is not that critical.

As with Watts or Hughes you should to wait for at least one more week to decide unless you need to do your trades to cover for donuts now. Since both play for the Demons one would expect their job security to be relatively better than those playing for higher ranking teams.

I also have Brennan and I'm giving him one more week to further find out the extent of his injury while also waiting for J Brown to go south further.

hmmm i like your thinking about hanging on to brennan...i do have cover in gumby so i may copy what you are doing and keep him for a bit. BUT i do want to upgrade my midfield so i may downgrade NASON and upgrade Jetta to a premium...i have questions over montagna though....his average is only 106 compared to Stanton's 119 for 20k more. would you really go with tags over bartel, stanton etc?
