Backline HELP please

MY TEAM - Goddard,Gibbs,Shaw,Hanley,Heppell,Staker  (Brown,Wilson)

OPPONENT 1 - Goddard,Gibbs,Shaw,IBBOTSON,VLASTUIN,THOMPSON (Staker,Thurlow)

OPPONENT 2 - Goddard,Gibbs,Shaw,Hanley,Heppell,TERLICH  (Ellis,Clisby)

3 trades and 200 K left. 

Do I keep Heppell for the GF? Do I get 1 defender or 2?

Unfortunately Ellis and Vlastuin play GWS and could go big so I need to combat those scores. Ideas? Cheers.

Can't afford Hibberd AND Murphy unless I trade Heppell.

About the only player I can afford and like  along with Hibberd (if I trade Brown + Staker)  is Houli. Plays GWS and Bombers.

Essendon don't play until Sat night and Doggies on Sunday, so why not check the scores before the Essendon game starts and decide then whether or not you need the Heppell / Murphy trade. Doc Larkins on the AFL Official Website predicts Heppell 2 to 3 weeks but the Bombers should give us a clearer indication later in the week hopefully. Best of luck mate.    :D

You have to use 2 trades this week.

I would send Heppell off as it is too risky keeping him as if he doesn't return your options are severely limited.

What is your plan if Hanley misses too?

I would get as much value for this week as possible.

2 strong defenders would be ideal.

Good luck.
