Hi lads, am i silly for considering this trade? 100k in the bank

Team is as follows;
BACKS - Suckers, Birch, Simpson, Mcveigh, Bartel, Swallow, (Litherland, Warren)
MIDS - Stevie J, Pendles, Beams, Libba, Ebert, Barlow, Cotch (Honeychurch, Barry)
RUCKS - McEvoy, Martin (Brown, Currie)
FWDS - Harvey, Dusty, Gray, Jack, Parker, Danger (Tex, Kersten)

considering trading Stevie J this week to JPK as i'm worried about Crowley...Leaving me with one trade to get rid of either Birchall or Suckling.

Would this be a wise move? or do you reckon i get rid of Birchall and Suckling and back in Stevie J?
Thoughts and other suggestions welcomed!

i think even with a tag steve j could possible still score as much as suckers or birch..
i would be looking at your opposition team and working out where you can gain an advantage
id wait and see weather swallow is the one you need to trade in defence and not carrying injury.

Suckling has an avg of 110+ in his last 3 games against melb. They are his favourite team to play against. Probably wouldnt be getting rid of him this week.

Stevie J has a poor record against his next 2 opponent so trading him is not a silly idea. However you will want him back for the last 2 rounds, if you get that far in finals, as he destroys his last 2 opponents.

That is my plan.
Trade Stevie to Macrae/Sidebottom then get him back in 2 weeks.

This is INCREDIBLY risky. There will certainly be late outs for the last couple of weeks if finals positions are locked up. You will probably be using your two trades elsewhere and won't be able to get him back.

I have premo cover on all lines (bar rucks) and am within striking distance of overall so worth the risk!

I am thinking of doing that too- SJ to Macrae or front bum! Worth thinking about!
