Help Pimp My Side. (please)

[jumbo]

Team So far after 5 trades and 212k in the bank.

Considerations this week to get; Treloar, Jmac,

Cannon fodder: Dickson, Ledger

Upgrade considerations: Bower to .>>>  (need rnd 11 def) Hurn,waters, Adcock or other? (possibly Geary and wear a donut or two in round 13)

Any other ways to maximise my team currently....???


DEF: Goddard, Delidio, Scotland, Malceski, Dempsey, Bower, Bugg, Ellis, Smedts

MID: Ablett, J Selwood, Boyd, Priddis, Magner, Shiel, Greene, Ledger

RUC: Kruzer, Giles, Redden, Stephenson

FWD: Franklin, Goodes, Sidebottom, N Roo, Zaharakis, Kennedy, Smith, Hall, Dickson


Should I get on both these GWS cash cows or should I be careful due to number of trades already?
Should I upgrade a rookie already to an affordable quality upgrade like a barlow, ziebell, Hurn, waters, heppell, Johnson?

What do the experts and pundits think??

Would definitely go Ledger to MacDonald - You will need an emergency playing if you are keeping Ablett due to his short term injury!!! Not sure whether Greene will play this week.

Up to you whether you decide to upgrade or trade Dickson for Treloar. 
If you want Ziebell and consider him a keeper, and this may sound radical to you, I would upgrade Magner to Ziebell with your cash.  Rationale is Magner has a positive B/e and although small next week it will increase further due to low scores and imo he is reaching his his optimum.  Not sure whether he can pull out any more large scores like the first 2 rounds.  Secondly Ziebell is at his cheapest as he will have a price hike next week with a B/e of 30.  Will give you a midfield of Ablett, Selwood, Boyd, Priddis, Ziebel and rookies with McDonald and Shiel giving coverage whilst Ablett is out.

These 2 trades will give you only 17 for the rest of year.  I would sit for a while as your team is not too bad with adequate coverage on all lines.
