Insurance at the Back Strategy to Save Trades??

[Madmax75]

Im a bit concerned with the lack of first year backs that will get a semi regular game and can see myself being a player down or having to waste trades. So the question is: Is it worth spending more on your bench in the backline to avoid this whilst possibly weakening other areas. And where do you think I am weak then with this team:

B S Fisher H Shaw C Cornes X Ellis Houlihan Myers Raines (J Grimes S Hill)
C Bartel Judd J Selwood T Tuck Masten Rich (Dangerfield M Robinson)
R Cox McIntosh (Currie J Spencer)
F Okeefe Deldio Richo Roughead Lucas Skipworth Ziebel (Gumbleton Ballantyne)

Many thanks

I think that that is a pretty good side.  Heath Shaw is a worry, when will Ellis be right?, Ballantyne is perhaps ready by say Rd4-5 & Spencer is not on the senior list but other than that its not a bad side.

Ellis and Ballantyne both R5.
Understand your insurance policy but wouldn't one of Grimes or Hill be enough?
Would the cash being freed up improve your side somewhere else?
Can you afford to have that sort of cash tied up in Ellis for that long before he plays?

yeh downgrade one bench and upgrade ellis will be out for too long..
