Which is the best course of action?

[J Pot]

I am in an elimination final. I'm looking for a way to get a few extra points. I have Duffield in my backline who has benn a massive dissapointment. Which of the following options would you recommend?

Option 1) Trade out Higgins (who I rekon will get shut down early) for Josh Kennedy. Use the extra money to turn Duffield into Grundy, Johncock, Adcock or whatever... (Wont quite have enough for Birchell or Suckling)

Option 2) Trade out Higgins for a gun, like Ciryl or Harvey, and leave Duffield on the field?

Thoughts? I realise trading Higgins to Kennedy is a sideways trade, but its the only way I can think to get rid of an injury risk and upgrade my backline at the same time...

Post your team, Higgins might be a good thing this week against Port.. Wouldn't trade him out.. Should score pretty good..

Its not that I want to trade Higgins really, it's more wanting to upgrade Duffield. This seems like the best way.
Downgrading a bench player seems like a waste of a trade at this stage of the year. I figured this would be a good chance to get rid of higgins before his next injury, and upgrade Duffield. I heard a rumour that Higgins might get shut down early due to his injury history and a lost Bulldogs season...

How many trades do you have left?

I think you would gain more, sideways one of your carlton players to something that can score similar (priddis is a bargain right now or maybe suckling/birchall), and using that cash for upgrades.

Assuming you win, You need to do that anyway in r23, so you may as wel do it now.

Would keep Higgins against Port Adelaide.

Good luck, hope that made sense.

[J Pot]

Yea that made sense. 4 trades left. That is a pretty good idea. Trading one of the Carlton boys would make me a descent amount of extra coin. Cheers.

Wow. This is amazing. I have $78,600 spare. If I trade Judd for Priddis this week, it'll leave me with $142,200. If I then trade Duffield, I'll have $384,800. The price od Birchall just happens to be $384,500. Suckling is $383,900. That's Crazy! Well the next question is, Suckling or Birchall?
