With 3 trades left, what should I do to my team?

I only have 3 trades left and only $2,900 in the bank.

I want to get rid of Shaw, but I don't want to have to use 2 trades to get the likes of Birchall, Martin or Waters.

My team for Round 19:

Gibbs Goddard Enright Fisher Heppell Stanley Jacobs --- Puopolo Adcock Shaw

Boyd Pendles Swan Thompson Mitchell Selwood --- Iles Goodes Deledio

Cox Smith --- Lobbe, McCauley

Fyfe Johnson Sylvia Franklin Higgins Krak Mzungu --- Riewoldt Lynch Howe

Should I do a double trade or just wait next week or the week after for maybe a straight swap Shaw ---> Birchall, Waters or Martin?

I say wait a week and see if Birchall's price drops enough. If not then re-assess...

definately wait ...

you never know what will happen....especially in a bye week

you dont need to trade this week, it'd be wasting them, unless there's a defender on the bubble that shaws worth trading for. with your last 3 trades you need to get rid of shaw to make some cash then go with 2 upgrades.
i'd go shaw out for any basement price defender, doesn't really matter who coz you've got enough cover anyway. this would give you about 245k in the bank.
then i'd upgrade krakouer for pavlich, leaving about 135k.
then you've got pretty much free choice of any defender you want. i'd probably go with broughton on current form, but freo dont have the best run home so it might not be a good move getting 2 freo players in for the finals. you could even upgrade smith for goldstein if you think that might get you more points. seeing as you have gibbs, enright and heppell with the late bye you're probably better off going with jacobs for birchall, or something like that.
whatever you do try hold off on your trades for as long as you can. if you're gonna win your last minor round game anyway, dont waste the trades. if you're gonna finish top 4, save the trades for second week of the finals if you lose first week. save them until round 23 if you can.

i would look at downgrading/upgrading shaw and either puopolo or krakouer
downgrade krak to callinan now that bicks has got the reins callinan will be given midfield gametime because bickley rates callinan very highly and upgrade shaw to waters i would say. downgrade this week upgrade next.

Callinan is not playing this weekend.

As per AFL.com.au

"Brad Symes (jaw), Matt Jaensch (shoulder) and Ian Callinan (hamstring) have all been ruled out of Showdown XXXI with injury."

Hamstring must still be hampering him.

crows would be spewing. neil craig would be spewing. everyone saw how well freo did with barlow and pods and geelong and i belive callinan could have lifted crows to the next level but injury has killed him
