the andrew raines theory

[magic_man]

ive got raines who is struggling so im thinking of trading him down to grima or greenwood and playing one of them or broughton as my 7th back this will give me 104k left to upgrade a another player!!
who should it be?? this is my team with 10 trades left

backs
fisher, doughty, mackie, cornes, drummond, grimes, raines (petrenko, broughton)

mids
gibbs, hayes, winderlich, salopek, s. thompson, rich (beams, anthony)

rucks
kreuzer, mcintosh (spencer, pyke)

forwards
riewoldt, franklin, pavlich, s. johnson, higgins, krakour, ziebell (walker, m. brown)

who should i upgrade????

Mate,

like your team, it's different to the standard line-up that most have!

the one thing your lacking is a gold class midfielder, ruckman and defender.

Don't get me wrong, fisher gibbs and McIntosh have been and will be valuable this year, but I reckon you should be trying to add one of the following...

Goddard for Doughty in your backline
Ablett/Bartel for Winderlich (been good but if you've got the trades, jump off cause he's peaked for the year price wise I reckon)
Cox for Kreuzer (Obvious choice)


Depending on how many trades you have you should be looking to do all of these by finals time.

sit tight on trades though, keep 5 or 6 for finals

hope that helps, just my opinion.
