I reckon Goodes for Ibbotson or McKenzie.

My reasoning is that if you were to switch Staker to your DEF you would need to play him every week as D6. If you leave Staker in the FWDS you have the option of benching him at F7. Now Staker has been scoring like a premium lately but his scores have been inflated by last quarter goals. I don't think he will continually score 100's for the rest of the year.

I'm leaning towards this very much for these reasons. His scores have been inflated due to those close finishes and clutch goals so not sure on the reliability of him playing a permanent position in the backline.

But which one...

McKenzie - Nice run home (SC Finals) has been super consistent in the 80-100pt range.

Ibbotson - A little up and down of late but seems to have a higher ceiling.

The other option I have is to downgrade Thurlow to Wilson and then I will have the money to get Thompson or Malceski?
