Are these good trades?

YES! This completes your team and still leaves you 2 trades and $21k!!! Plus you need to upgrade backline eventually anyway
1 (33.3%)
NO YOU CLOWN! Lake > Suckling is not worth it. Keep your 4 trades
2 (66.7%)

4 trades, $112k
Will finish top 2 guaranteed

Team IF I do the above trades:

DEF: Deledio, Goddard, H Shaw, Carrazzo, Enright, Scotland, Suckling (S Shaw, Bootsma)
MID: Ablett, Swan, Pendles, Watson, Jelwood, Thompson (Gibson, Couch)
RUCK: Maric, Mummy (Campbell, Orren)
FWD: Franklin, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, Chapman, Martin, Goodes, Zorko (Porps, Darling)

Leaves me 2 trades and $21k, and strong bench cover. All players named this week (except Buddy and Napolean Dynamite)

I could have traded Dempsey to Scotland last week with just 1 trade but held, now I can't afford! With Dempsey BE of 105 and Scotland 72, the gap will widen more.

Should I pull the trigger?!

Yeah I have thought about upgrading Mummy, but I will need 2 trades to do it.

I could do Lake > Suckling, Mummy > Nicnat? Leaves me 2 trades and $37k. But still have stinky Dempsey to deal with. AND, Mummy could start to score well again?

I'd rather take a risk and see what Mummy can do, Dempsey at footy park and then finals = problem

Yeah, I've held Mummy and his big sizeable arse all year on my bench, I may as well keep holding and see if he repays my undying faith.

Dempsey > Suckling, Lake > Scotland OR Waters OR who??? Which premo you think? I'm worried Waters will get reported this week in Derby, but I know Scotland has court case coming up and Carlton have more midfielders coming back in...

probably Scotland, however Suckers looks alright just worried he's more suited to DT, but last week was promising! thing with Suckers is he could pull a 30 :P

How is someone with a left foot like Suckling's more suited to DT? One of the best kicks in the game and SC loves a good kick.

Anyway, I'd go ahead with the trades. Leaves you with a good backline and two trades which is probably more than most at this stage. Mumford could turn out to be a good POD and if not, you've got 2 trades to use to upgrade him.

probably because he's averaging more in DT! 87.2 v 86.8

Only this year because of a month of bad form. By the end of the season I wouldn't be surprised if his SC is greater than his DT...
