Hi lads,
My team is as follows. I will be making the obvious trade of Mitchell To Crouch, but I will still have 300k sitting in the bank unused. I would ideally like to put that into the team and get the extra points from it but I am unsure of where to do so.

DEF: Goddard, Gibbs, Hanley, Goodes, Brown, Pittard (Stevenson, Frost)
MID: Ablett, Kennedy, Pendlebury, K.Jack, Mundy, Wines, Viney, O'Meara (Kommer, Mitchell)
RUCK: Griffin, Berger (Rowe, Currie)
FWD: Cox, Rockliff, Walker, Martin, JJK, Neade (Dwyer, Macaffer)

I have considered trading out Kommer straight to Jones from Melbourne perhaps.
Or I could upgrade one of Jack or Martin. I ideally would like Bartel in, but am I better off trading the rookies this roudn then using the spare cash to upgrade later on?
Cheers guys.

i sat with 300k in the bank last week , but now i am going zorko->mayes and Kommer -> Deledio. Personally i'd upgrade Kommer if i were you, or strengthen up that back line

I think it would be silly to trade out either Dusty or Jack. Both have been scoring well and trading them out fro someone better would only improve your team by 10-15 points max..

It would be much wiser to wait a couple of weeks untill your rookies fatten a little more and then pull the trigger and upgrade on of them to a premium. Ex, Neade > Bartel in 2/3 weeks

Also, @lukeclancy4 his backline is fine, most people will be fielding 3 prems and 3 rooks in the backline.

Yeh waiting a few weeks was the most likely option, figured I would trade Mitchell out to Crouch, then either Frost (if starting) to Terlich, or Kommer to either Jones from Melb or maybe even Wingard.
