Hi Guys

After thinking I had it pretty sweet really I'm in a bit of a pickle and wondering when to use my trades...

Basically in the last few weeks my entire bench has disappeared and then I've had the likes of Hall, Libba, McVeigh missing a game or two - I've gone diabetic from donuts. I'm in the top 4 in my cash league but it's very tight. If I lose by enough I could potentially drop out of the 8 (though not hugely likely).

My main issues are Hall, Dahl and Adams, all in the fwd line injured. My cover I was relying on DPP swingmen. So the problem with Hall, Dahl and Adams all out is that I've got at least 1 donut straight away, and no cover for anyone out in another position. Waiting for teams tonight, but I've only got 2 trades and 20k to use, and Adams and Hall both expected to be out a while - assuming Dahl is named. A late out would burn me.

If he's named, how stupid is Adams to WhiteX as an option? - gives me enough cash to afford anyone with my last trade in case of an injury, and keeps D/F swingman if Whitey stays in... Or any other thoughts?

Haha agree. Should be a fanfooty quotes of the year. This has my vote for number one..
And hold. Dahl back this week, you should probably have traded Hall last week but he's only 2 weeks away now so not really worth it. Could be a pod when back

Heard Hall may even be back next week.

Here's hoping.  ;D

Ok with Hall and Libba both out, I have a guaranteed donut, and dropped out of top 4 in my cash league last week, so it's crunch time. 2 trades and only 20k kitty

Option 1) Libba to Menegola, Hall to anyone - Maybe JPK but already gt Hanners and Parker, thinking Priddis or Smitchell instead

Option 2) Libba to Motlop or Isaac Smith, hold a trade for a possible sideways swap

Option 3) Drink heavily and start planning next year

Leaning towards option 2 and Smith at the moment.
