Ok guys in a bit of a pickle in what I need to do this week with Hartlett.
I have 1 trade and 115k and I can basically afford anyone but Rockliff.

My team is:

Def: Goddard, Hibberd, Hanley, Gibbs, McKenzie, Hartlett (Clisby, Thurlow)
Mid: GAJ, Swan, Pendles, Dangerfield, Griffen, Cotchin, Selwood, JPK (Vlaustin, B Kennedy)
Ruck: Goldstein, Maric (Grundy, Rowe)
Fwd: Cox, Franklin, Bartel, Stevie J, Martin, JJK, (Staker, Lamb)

I'm really worried that Hanley or Cotchin might be late outs on Sunday, I don't have a playing emergency in my backline and if I do decide to make a trade I have to do it before the Freo v Port game on Saturday night. I can take a risk and not trade Hartlett and play Vlaustin in the backline just incase there is a out on Sunday.

My opp has Hartlett, Heppell & Hanley but has backline cover (Staker)
I am 100% sure he will burn 1 or even 2 trades (if he has them)
He also has JJK and am thinking of benching him due to his poor form and maybe bring in N.Roo or Walker.

I'm really confused in which way to go.
Cheers guys

Certainly interesting to note zero votes for playing Staker over JJK. I agree with JJK over Staker.

I'm kinda torn... I reckon Staker + Walker might be better than Murphy + JJK, but it's a prett marginal call. Also JJK is probably due for a good one, and if shifting Staker back means he becomes a permanent fixture then I don't like it so much...

I'd just get Shaw personally. JJK on both teams will cancel each other out. Vlaustin provides good mid cover for Cotchin or Whoever (might go well vs GWS too). Then ur Backline should beat his easy.

Walker would be awesome and should go well vs Bombers but Staker?... u don't really want him on the ground for the last 2 rounds.

Can you afford Birchall for Clisby? At least you could swing Vlaus to where you need him next week if there's another out...

Murphy has been in super form and finishes with Brisbane and then Melbourne. He has to be leading the way, but Birchall (if applicable) is the next in line I'd say.

Appreciate the feedback guys!

I miss out by 500 dollars by going Clisby - Birchall  :(

Will go Hartlett into Murphy!

Know he question is to start JJK or Staker..... flip of a coin  :-\ cant loophole either
