Wish Hawks didn't play Dees this round. At least 2 of my opponents have the likes of Hodge,Roughy,Burgoyne etc. who could all go massive. I am 1st in all leagues so not elimination yet. To trade or not to trade?

McVeigh,Swallow,Bartel,Simpson,Birchall,Hurn (Bews,Jones)

Pendles,Beams,Rocky,Selwood,Priddis,Fyfe,Barlow,Jpk (SHENTON,Hartung)

Sandilands,Martin (Mumford,King)

Danger,Boomer,Martin,Buddy,Pav,Zorko (KERSTEN,CAMERON)

265K and 2 trades. If I had another 1-2 trades Shenton>Gray and Cameron/Kersten>DPP ruck would be done straight away.

I hate having Martin/Mumford on bench and no option to swing Martin fwd. But I don't want to use trades only to cop donuts in the coming finals. If Roughy and co go massive I may not win no matter what so might wait till after the Dees VS Hawks game anyway

I'd go those trades, but not until needed. Good cover after that, but if all are named, hang tight

Having only 2 trades left is a dog.
Another possibility would be to upgrade defence cover with the cash...or trade Hartung to Mitchell...keep fwd DPP with Shenton (could be handy)....this gives cover for 3 of your backs...but then you have to miss out on Gray....and use the other trade on Cameron to BBrown.
Read somewhere CCameron is a chance to return. Shenton could return. Pav could miss this week if needing another week (like Cox)... Swallow's injury status?...it's hard to know what to do at this stage.

cheers guys. Yeah I'll likely do the trades I mentioned above - but not until last minute in case of injury/suspensions.

And yeah a lot depends on the likes of Shenton,Pav,Swallow.

Any other suggestions?

Assuming u want to win your league matches, hold, hold, hold!!! IMO u don't have anywhere near enough bench cover to use your trades all up with what would be 3 rounds to go.

That's why my trades would be to improve my cover..
