I think its a preety good team overall, but I'm wondering who should I trade this week. I'm thinking trading either Tippett or Ball. What do you think.

[Scratchy]

Dump Tippett and Ball. Ball is back to getting 75% TOG like he did at the Saints, and Tippett is carrying a knee injury in an underdone and underperforming side that won't be truly fit and firing til the midseason break.

[martc]

i reckon you should not trade ball or tippett - Ball will bounce back tomorrow night v his old saiters and Tippett will slash against Melbourne. I get the feeling that trading them out would likely bite you in the bum in a week or 2

[haooyy]

I would definitely consider trading Tippett to either Kreuzer or Ottens this week before Tippett's value plummets. Would hold onto Ball for the meantime.

Personally i wouldnt pick Ottens, although he did have a good game against the Hawks, who was he  up against? Roughead and Renouf.

1). Is my team any good

2). I want to bring in Pods but who do I trade and if necssary should I upgrade around the field if isn't Roberts that I should be trading.

3). Shouldn't I trade at all and trade while my cash cows make me money

I have 28,300 in my salary cap.

[roo boys!]

I think I would actually trade Hitchcock for Pods and possibly keep Roberts sitting on the pine eating hamburgers but that's just my opinion.

[Samm79]

agree with the above if you have made only one or two trades to date, if more, sit pretty, nice team

[ben_ess94]

i like your team :)
very nice balenced hah
im keeping roberts, i feel that he can only go up and u need to use another trade to cash in on the cash that pods will make

trading hitchcock for pods is what most ppl r doing
i probably feel your mids is lackign a bit only because ppl arent performing RE: ball mitchell but they will come good keep the faith
look at upgrade martin in 2-3 weeks possibly

I'm thinking of trading Hunt for Davis and then upgrading Ball for someone else?

What do people think or are there better options.

[Jezza]

I also forgot to mention that I have 16 trades left with a salary cap of 7,300.

[Prospector_1]

Jezza, if I move this thread to the Rate My ... section, you can use the same thread all year for advice. Is it OK for me to move it?

[Jezza]

Yes that's fine

[Prospector_1]

Done, thanks.

Quite a few people are thinking about the Hunt --> Davis trade. It's hard to know if Hunt's ever going to hit his straps this year, but he's a safe benchy regardless.

Ball is getting on people's wick, but i think deserves a little longer.

4 trades down already, with a reasonable looking team - maybe you can wait for those cows to fatten some more?

How do you feel about Mayne atm?
