Advice on the Hoops...plz

[The Mighty Hoops]

18 trades left, 170K
Team: BOLD = BYES or not playing
DEF: Goddard(MID), Birchall, Heppell (MID) Gibbs,  (MID) B.Goodes,(MID) Staker,(FWD) Thurlow, Frost,                
MID: Watson, Pendlebury, Kennedy, Selwood, Fyfe, O'Meara, Vlastuin (DEF), Wines, Stevens, T.Mitchell
RUCK: Cox, (FWD) Roughead, (FWD) Nicholls, Blicavs (MID)
FWD: Franklin, Zorko (MID), S.Johnson (MID), Westhoff, Kennedy, Macaffer, Neade(MID), Rowe (RUCK)

I think I'm well covered for the bye this week but was looking to get rid of some rooks, so this week I've traded

Wines --> Hrovat
Neade --> J.Lewis

This leaves me with 16 trades and $255K.

Now I like this trade as the newbies to the team have already had their byes but I really want to get a MID/FWD in the mid lines and I really want to get rid of Frost in the Backline being dead weight.
Not that the following gets my M/F link but gets me the sons of god
Frost -- move Vlaus back --> Hrovat
Wines --> Ablett.
Neade -- > some one else

Would this be the week to do it? Would like your thoughts on this and any suggestions.

Thanks,
Hoops.

You need to rethink those trades, Hoops.

You need Gazza asap - Captain scores alone will pay you back - don't worry about the bye.

The Hrovat trade wont help this week as he has been omitted . Apart from Kyle Martin and Ben Kennedy there iisnt much this week. Next week Mitchell is the Obvious trade in for teams who don't have him.

Thanks for the advice guys but came a little too late for me and my gamble really didn't pay off. Lewis flopped and Hrovat was a no show to the party.

Oh well.

This week the team on the park is ok and my was looking to get K.Stevens out seems the best bet with his high BE.

Stevens -- Lewis to mids (gets my FWD/MID link) --> and either Dusty ($506.4 AV106.3), ROO $(512 AV 108)or Rocky ($490, AV 101.3) in order of preference.

Leave me money to next week to upgrade

JOM --> ABLETT
Macaff --> Daniher (or shift Staker FWD and maybe the likes of Hanley depending on far he falls this week...unlikely to have the $$$ though)

This seems good to me. Thoughts?

UPDATE....

Dusty has pulled out in front as favourite due to run home and with Tiges fighting for Top 8 posi.

After getting Dusty in for Stevens I still have 15 trades left which is plenty at this time of year so have gone

Frost --> B.Wilson

I know i'm shooting the gun early on him but at least he's playing this week and has better prospects than Frost.

Leaves me with 14 Trades and $92K to help get Ablett & Daniher next week.  :D
