I'm thinking of selling Cheney and Robinson as Cheney will struggle to get another game due to the players coming back for Melbourne over the next few weeks (McDonald, Grimes, Bell, Buckley, Wheatley) and Robinson has been ineffective the last couple and in danger of being dropped (plus Carazzo is due back and maybe some others).

Thinking of getting Beams before his price rises too much more (gee he looks good) and Hansen from North Melbourne.

Am I being stupid, what would others do? I have $264K in the bank, 17 trades and the below side at present. I am thinking if I do those trades I can sit tight for a while as I will have a starting 22 and at least 1 bench option for all positions playing.

Drummond, S Fisher, Enright, Gilbert, Dempsey, Rance, Cheney (Broughton, Raines)
Ablett, Judd, Gibbs, J Selwood, Griffen, Rich (Skipworth, Robinson)
McIntosh, Hille (Jacobs, Spencer)
Chapman, Richo, Franklin, Higgins, Gray, Krakouer, Ziebell (M Brown (WCE), Walker)

The thing that worries me is Skipworth is injured. I'm not to sure for how long. But you may want to trade him off for beams. That way when you trade for Cheney you will be able to bring a premium player in your back line. I would hold on to Robinson for another week and see what happens.

Not so sure about getting rid of Skipworth. He is out for 3 weeks and if I have 6 starting centre line players plus one bench option I think I want to keep him. When he returns he'll be handy. If I need someone else to play due to injury I can think about that later.

Robinson needs to score 42 to break even which is no guarantee going by his current form and that is even if he gets picked (Blues playing Sunday so only 25 man squad known before lockout).
