I would like to keep my team up to date on here from now on and use the advice of people on this site to help me from  a lot of sleepless nights haha.

Bench: Cutler, A. Georgiou

Mids: G. Ablett, J. Watson, M. Murphy, D. Beams, C. Ward, Crouch, J. Polec, D. Tyson.
Bench:  L. Taylor, Robertson

Ruck:  A. Sandilands, W. Minson 
Bench: F. Thurlow, M. King

Forwards: P. Dangerfield, D. Martin, L. Parker, M. Pavlich, D. Hale, S. Higgins.
Bench: Impey, Lloyd

$334,500 in bank

20 trades remaining (including one this round)

Ranked 1,310 overall.

Trades this round
1. Mitchell -> Ward (via Langdon)
2. Hmac -> Minson

Nice ranking dude.

Those trades look good, Ward is a solid POD but I have my worries with him. I'd prefer a gun midfielder but he might help you go up the rankings. Ideally you'd get Joey who would be awesome for your team but saw that he is outside your range and Pendles is priority.

H-Mac to Minson looks good too. Lucky you dodged McVeigh.

Team looks strong

Thanks mate! What are your thoughts on Libba instead of Ward? Bit more of a safe bet?

[Vinny]

Haha not a huge fan of either to be honest man. How much can you spend on a midfielder?

[geoffmack]

I have time for libba, think he is a safe bet. Alot of games to come at ES. He is on my watch list

[benharris222]

I'm leaning towards Libba and also....

Hale out -> Roughead in.
Call me crazy but I think he's turning his season around and the hawks are going to win a lot of games!

Thoughts?

[Ringo]

All I will say is if your gut says OK go for it. I see at least 5 upgrades required for your team which will invole 10 trades at worst so that leaves you 10 correction trades all being well for injuries so using 1 now for Hale to roughead not the worst.

Take the advice with a grain of salt as you are ranked well above me.

[benharris222]

I've decided to go for:
1. Mitchell -> Libba (via Langdon)
2. Hmac -> Minson
3. Impey -> Ambrose

Leaves me with $383,300 in the bank.
Hopefully bring in Pendles, Enright and Cotchin next week.
Selwood the week after.
Then hurn/Hanley and NRoo week 11!!

Would you consider Crouch to Shenton, Lloyd to Gray? If not, then stick with your original plan, looks good. Team basically complete!

I do like the look of that :). I'd been trying to figure out a way to get Gray in. Was going to downgrade crouch to someone next week and then Higgins to Gray.

[benharris222]

What would you rather?

1. Hibberd and Buddy.

Or

2. Langdon and Gray?

[GoLions]

Well, obviously the 2nd option. But if you could trade Langdon to Hibberd in 1 trade next week, then I think I'd prefer to get Gray/Shenton this week

I know this is all impossible to tell, but I'm getting scared by Grays injury history!
