Backs: Goddard Gibbs Deledio Suckling R.Murphy Duffield H.Shaw (Mckernan Hibberd Lester)
Mids: Pendlebury Swan Judd Boyd ROK Mitchell (Jacobs Harris Mzungu)
Rucks: Cox Smith (McCauley Derickx)
Fwds: Goodes Fyfe Franklin Stevie J N.Riewoldt J.Riewoldt Darling (Howe Richardson I.Smith)

5 trades and $40,500 in the bank.

Ideally what i want to do:
- move ROK into the forward line for smith
- then downgrade harris to callinan
- upgrade smith/mzungu to premium
- upgrade Z.Smith to premium.

That would complete my team,i know its risky going into the finals with 2 trades but im willing to do it,what do you guys reckon?
Rate my team atm as well please.
Thanks fellas.

Rating 8.5 t0 9/10 Solid team.
If you are well placed in leagie at this stage then I would probably only do the downgrade of Harris to Callinan when he is on the bubble. And keep the four trades and assess after Round 19 bye. You have byes for Gibbs, Judd, Steve J and Hibberd for finals to consider as well.
Maybe even consider downgrading Hibberd rather than Harris to get Cash. Harris then is an upgrade target for one of the 4 trades.

Thanks mate.
I do like the idea of just making one downgrade and then holding on till after the next bye.
But are there any good downgrade options for hibberd?

Talia is a good option if named but will be only playing second game so is probably a good option in two weeks. Andrew Hooper from the Bulldogs is on the bubble this week with a negative B/e but do not know much about him.

I like the look of Talia.
Whats Hoopers job security like?
Do the doggies have many waiting to come back in to the team?

Going by your nick you are like me a Lions member so do not know a lot about Hooper maybe Meow can shed some light on him for you.

Haha your exactly right,not sure about hoopers js at all.

I would downgrade Darling to Callinan - Then swap in mids with ROK - And upgrade Harris to Ablett, Thompson etc
I would keep Mzungu for good cover in mids and fwd line
