I'm contemplating the following options for my last trade:

- Suckling to Heath Scotland or Nathan Bock (opponent has Bock)

OR

- Fyfe to Steve Johnson, and bench Petrie or N.Riewoldt (opponent has Johnson).

What to do?

What other differences do you have in forward line - If you play both Petrie and N Roo.
Depending on match ups in forward line I would be contemplating Suckling to Bock as you are possibly giving away 40 points based on averages over last 5 games.

Whats wrong with Suckling?  Is he likely to miss?

Mind you Bock will have Franklin.  If you want to take a defender, take Birchall for sure.  Scotland should do well in theory, but Saints may do something funky.

I wouldn't be trading suckling, every chance to smash it this week. Need to see the rest of your forward line to comment on the Fyfe trade. Anyhow there is every chance you will need to trade somewhere else once the teams come out and bring with them the dreaded soreness.

Forward line is: Franklin, Goodes, O'Keefe, Leon Davis, Petrie, N.Riewoldt, Robbie Gray (Fyfe, Richardson, Matera).  I can also move Mzungu to forward line.

I've decided Robbie Gray has to stay in, his recent form is good (particularly vs Melb) and the game is at Adelaide Oval.  He is also a point of difference to my opponent.

Back line consists of: Deledio, Fisher, Goddard, Broughton, Enright, Gibbs, Suckling (Talia, Golby, Howard). 

I'm worried about Sucklings poor recent form and the fact Stratton will come back into the side, which may further diminish his role. My midfield and ruck are very strong and don't require changes, hence I'm thinking Suckling is the weak link.

You've got 2 trades, imo, may as well use them.  Worst case scenario, you probably break even anyway.

Just choose whoever you think has the highest scoring potential.  Would be a bit hesitant about SJ against the Pies.

If you want to do something funky, you could even consider trading Dean Cox, who should play mostly up forward.
