Injuries are a curse!

Please help me guys, i don't know what to do.
Really wanted to get STRIJK into my team, but with both JZ and BARLOW to trade out this week so not sure i can get him in now.

Back: GOD, Hodge, Enright, Waite, Shaw, MAL, Nason, (Davis, Webberley)
Mid: BARLOW, GAJ, Swan, L.Davis, Judd, J.Selwood (howlett, JKT)
Ruck: Sandi, nic Nat (Lobbe, Stanley)
For: Pav, Tippett, JZ, Brennan, Brown, Goodes, ROK (gumby, Roberts)

I know forwards need some work was hoping this week to go NASON - STRIJK and upgrade WEBBERLEY but obviously more problems now.

Have 9 trades 47k in bank. Thinking BARLOW - JOEY and JZ - HIGGINS.

I had HIGGINS and traded hime 3 weeks ago to BROWN obviously didn't work out. But i can only see HIGGINS as a viable option for JZ.

Thoughts or other options on trades would be great! If onle of my bench players play i.e. HOWLETT, JKT or brown is names i will get STRIJK and wait a week to trade JZ.

Trade Strijk in for the cash. Your backline looks a lot better than your forward line so I'd be prepared to cop a doughnut get Joey as you plan to and use the cash next week to trade JZ for Didak? 482k with 111 BE this week. Would leave you around 70k...and in the following week downtrade Gumby to Trent Dennis Lane (for the cash mostly) then you'll have cash to upgrade Brennan to one of Harvey/ Gian/ Betts/ Pods or Webberley upgrade if you want to do defence

Nason> Strijk
Barlow>Joey
JZ> Didak
Gumby>TDL

Think you might be right, i am only going to be able to do upgrades i want with cash, and i can get the most cash out of STRIJK. I am thinking i will get rid of NASON instead of WEBBERLEY as with STRIJK and DAVIS both playing i have some decent cover and will get the most $$ out of NASON.

I like DIDS and was hoping he was going to drop more in value this week as he was playing bad in first half.

Is Joey a good choice or should the extra $$ be spent on CHAPPY, i will then have 4 cats GAJ, SELWOOD, ENRIGHT, CHAPPY. Recon 4 cats is ok but no more.

Nothing wrong with Montagna...could argue a case for Chappy but with his hammys you could argue one against him too. $ are important for your upgrades so I'd be inclined to go Joey over Chappy and pocket 33k for someone else.
On the cats...I've got Enright, Ablett, J Selwood and Pods. Seriously considered Chappy too...would've been 5...didn't because Judd will give me probably as many points and is less troubled by injuries....I think you could have 5 cats so long as they're the right ones and play in a mix of positions.
