Season deciding dilemma

[Macca#23]

Ok so I have a BIG dilemma and I'm torn about what to do after thinking about it all night.

Got Waters who I want to trade out, but then I need to trade Giles, who has been my second ruck all year.

Option 1: I can go Waters to anyone with a single trade
Option 2: Trade Bugg (D8) to Baguley/Brown, grab the cash and go Giles > Cox/ Maric
Option 3: This week do option 2, then next week do option 1. Leaving me with 2 trades for rounds 18-23.

5 trades left before lockout.

Thoughts appreciated!

I would personally go option 2... I think giles is a must upgrade but if you have cover for waters keep that precious extra trade. Obviously depending on the rest of your backline aswell, i currently have goddard and waters warming the pine this week with only 2 trades left, thanks to this horrendous injury toll.. So if it keeps up u may need the extra trade come finals, and if we are lucky waters will be back in time for finals and be a unique :-)

Id do option 1 this week, and maybe the downgrade this week as well if you like, then giles to cox next week

Not sure  if that'd work.... Giles set to drop and Cox set to go up... Would rely on their price changes bit too much?


I reckon option 2, probably not worth wasting the extra trade for Waters if you keep him one week, but you can decide that week. Personally i think the extra trade will come in handy though.

I have Sammy Shaw and Bugg as my reserve defenders. Do you reckon it's worth playing Shaw?

Option 3 for me

for option 3..it would make more sense to me to do option 1 the first week and option 2 the second week..Giles will probably get close to his breakeven while maric wont get any more expensive. cox might go up 10-15k though

I would go option 2 and do the double trade and leave waters on the bench.

Went option 2 in the end.

Baguley  :D :D

Hopefully Coxy does well too. Thank god I didn't get Maric!
