Staggs

DEF: Goddard, Gibbs, Heppell, Pittard, Goodes, Stevenson <Terlich, Docherty>

MID: Swan, Ablett, Redden, Dangerfield, Kennedy, Wines, Mitchell, O'Meara <Crouch, Viney>

RUCK: McEvoy, Currie <Blicavs, Rowe>

FWD: Cox, Bartel, Rockliff, Martin, Harper, Karnezis <Macaffer, Neade>

Bank: $211,200

Ok so here is the situation, I do not plan to take the 3 rookie rucks very far, I'm aware Blicavs' JS isn't great and not even certain Currie will play and obviously Rowe is out. My forward line is relatively stacked in terms of a real lack of rookies especially starting.

I wanted to use Macaffer off the bench but since I can't really get any good value in the ruck department as I've planned to have Leuenberger I'm probably going to have to use him on the field and swap Cox with Rowe, I loose a premium out of my forward line but it completes my ruck department for the entire season hopefully, but it does mean I will be playing a forward line consisting of Bartel, Rockliff, Martin, Karnezis, Harper and Macaffer.

My question is do you think I should use the $$ to upgrade Karnezis/Harper to someone JUST below the premium level forwards (none of whom exactly thrill me), use it to upgrade Neade to yet another mid pricer and just play someone relatively good off the bench this week only just to save burning a trade in a week's time. Or should I use the 200k I have in the bank to really bolster my midfield and turn Redden and Kennedy into say Cotchin and Pendlebury?
