[boneman]

Def: Goddard, Heppell, Gibbs, Shaw, Goodes, Vlastuin (Clisby, Thurlow)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Barlow, Cotchin, Fyfe, Priddis, Mitchell.S (Mitchell.T, Martin)
Ruck: McEvoy, Naitanui (Nicholls, Gawn)
For: Franklin, Cox, Martin, Rockliff, Kennedy, Staker (Macaffer, Johnson)

$49,400 9 Trades

Could afford to sit tight with all lines covered and the advantage of FWD & DEF loopholes. However at this stage I'm looking at:

VLASTUIN - HANLEY
MACAFFER - ???

What to do with Macaffer??? He will leak $$$ this week but is he worth keeping as permanent bench cover due to his JS. Staker still has $$$ to make and could be a downgrade candidate when there is a more reliable FWD Rookie on the bubble in a few weeks as I'm not sold on Lamb.

Hmmm - This what I would do.

I think your right - Vlastuin > Hanley,

Then just hold until a decent downgrade target comes up.

Keep Caff permanently on the bench and when Staker is maxed out downgrade him.

Leaves you with 8 trades.

If injury isn't a burden for you -

With the Staker downgrade you may have the luxury of maybe - Rocky > Roughy or  SMitchell > Griffen.

Hope this helped mate !

Cheers guys, with the limited downgrade options this week I may have to sit on Macaffer and wait till Staker hits $300k+. The original plan weeks ago was to do Macaffer - Daniher, but with him not selected I don't want to risk Lamb.

Last week I traded Mayes out through defence, could have probably done Caff then instead ::)

Thoughts on Macaffer as permanent bench cover?  :-\

[Vinny]

Yeah that's fine - Keep him. Downgrade Staker later.

Thanks Vinny was thinking this exactly, I started another post regarding Caff's $$$ movement. Feel free to add your thoughts.
