Ask Nrich -- Grand Final

[nrich102]

Only have $26,700 in the bank for this team (injury moves to survive season), made it to GF for money, looking for the best option to improve chances.

DEF: Goddard, Enright, Hanley, Gibbs, Scotland, Ibbotson (McKenzie, Thurlow)
MID: Swan, Pendlebury, Ablett, Barlow, Griffen, Boak, S.Mitchell, Watson (Carter, Anderson)
RUCK: Cox, Minson (Blicavs, Nicholls)
FWD: Riewoldt, Rockliff, Martin, Bartel, S.Johnson, Kennedy (Rowe, Johnston)

What moves do you think benefit this team most?
Currently leaning towards JJK -> Stokes over S.Mitchell -> [Beams, Libba, Jelwood]

Masten or Prestia??

Who to start; Cotchin, Ablett or Titchell

Cotchin should go big if he's 1v1 against Watson like he should but worried about Richmond not caring about the game and subing Cotchin out.

Ablett is in shocking form but is Ablett

Titchell should do everything he can this week to guarantee himself a spot in the finals and could be given every opportunity to go huge.

Note: my opponent is playing Ablett and if I do we will have identical midfielders.

Which combo do you think mate?

Lids, Masten, grimes

Or

O'keefe, Libba, Houli

Cheers for the input!

swan or sj for the captaincy?? arrrgggg

north are very stingy with tonnes and with beamer back swan might be a tad down on output....
sj is and has been bonkers this season...can he go 130+  for a 3rd straight week, cats need a win for a home final....

Sorry I didnt get to these :(

Thanks NRich.

I'm in two grandys, and probably am the favourite in both. I have used one trade already (Stanton -> Jelwood) to negate both my opponents having him. I have $77,100 in the bank to spend for the second trade.

My two questions to you are:
1). What player represents the biggest weakness in my team? I'm leaning towards Roughie (I can upgrade him to anybody but Kreuzer & Lobbe). I could also play safe and upgrade Nicholls so I have a ruck EMG (can't afford the above two, plus Minson).
2). Which mid do I bench? Montagna with the Crowley tag?

My current team:
Goddard, Hibberd, Enright, Gibbs, Hanley, Murphy (Birchall, Clisby)
Swan, Ablett, Pendlebury, J Selwood, Barlow, Beams, Watson, Griffen (Montanga, Grigg)
Cox, Roughead (Nicholls, Osborn)
N Riewoldt, S Johnson, Bartel, Stokes, Martin, Rockliff (JJ Kennedy, Staker)

This is a flowering good team mate. Your rucks are probably you biggest weakness. I'd do Roughy to Luenberger. Probably bench Montagna, but Beams could be out again.

Yeah, benching Montagna really hurt...  :(
