Hi all,
    Well, SC finals are upon us and I think I've left myself one trade short of where I need to be.  I have 3 trades left and $67,700 in the bank and my team is as follows:

DEF: Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Enright, Birchall, Chaplin Lower (Puopolo, L. Thompson, O'Shea)
MID: Pendlebury, Swan, Murphy, Boyd, Montagna, Heppell (Harris, Conca, I. Smith)
RUC: Cox, McEvoy (Bailey, McCauley)
FWD: Pavlich, Franklin, Goodes, O'Keefe, N. Riewoldt, Cloke, Fyfe (Darling, Lynch, Talia)

A couple of concerns are
1) Chaplin's injury
2) Cox's injury
3) Franklin's MRP date

My origianl plan was to downgrade Heppell to Andreoli, which would leave me $310k in the bank, then upgrade Lower and Harris to Fisher and Ablett, but my concerns outlined above might cause me grief. 

Thoughts on the above would be appreciated.

Are you in top 4 or in the elimination final. If having the second chance I would wait till next week to do any trades to see where you need coverage.

Ringo,

In 3 out of 4 leagues, I have a double chance, but the most important league to me is the last one ($$ up for grabs) and I finished 5th and face a cut throat elimination final this week.

Do you think you can this final without trades.  You should be playing 8th so good chance I would say.

If not I would consider this Luke Thompson to Andreoli
Harris > Scott Thompson, Griffen, Chapman,  ROK or as a POD Michael Barlow. Jobe Watson is a possibility as well but you would have to trade him in GF.
Allows you to use Heppell as bye coverage till finals.  He is still scoring quite well and with Essendon still in final eight contention will maintain scoring imo.
