Last trade: The Buddy Duckwood Dilema

[the butcher]

Need some advice guys. So torn on this now. Was definitely trading Buddy to Beams, but now that Duckwood is gone arrrg I dunno! This week is my must win game for $$ so I'm looking to use my last trade, now or never. This is my GF.

Def: Lids, Shaw, Goddard, Scotland, Waters, Carrots, Lake (Spurr, Darley)
Mids: Gaz, Swan, S.Thompson, Swallow, Priddis, Gibson (Selwood, Couch)
Fwd: Danger, Franklin, Sidey, Stevy J, Zorko, Boomer, Martin (Adams, Treloar)
$43400

So far as I can see the best options are as below.
Franklin to Beams and hope Gibson keeps killing it (could use Adams/Treloar) or..
Selwood to Murphy or Pendles and hope to fug Franklin plays and doesn't get vested.

Lake is weak but the trade options aren't that great, maybe Hurn. Rucks aren't great but good enough.

Help Needed! Thanks!!

Jelwood -> Murphy, even if buddy doesn't play you've got really strong bench cover in Adams and Treloar.

Thanks mate. I've tried to mock up some possible scores to make it easier.

Selwood > Murphy:
Murphy 130 + Franklin(rusty + SCG) 90-110
Murphy 130 + Franklin(subbed) 60
Murphy 130 + Adams/Treloar 80
Range 190-230

Franklin > Beams:
Beams 140 + Gibson/Treloar/Adams 70-100
Range 210-240

I doubt know those numbers mean anything and they're soo close anyway. Will Swan coming back hurt Beams? It boils down to Franklin. Will he play a full game and how will he go first game back vs the Swans at the SCG???????

Selwood to Murphy or Judd think they will have someone run with Murphy which he does not like

Bump for any more help.

My opponent has Beams, so I'm thinking I might cancel him out. Beams for Franklin, move him into Selwoods spot in the mids and play Treloar forward.

Anyone have reason to think Buddy will or wont be sub?
