I've officially joined this week, not overly happy with my team but feel happy about bringing in Gaz as my last trade of the season. For the record my team is as follows -

Shaw, Hodge, Houli, Burgoyne, Savage, Smith (Hamling, Pearce)

Ablett, Fyfe, Pendlebury, Ward, Kennedy, Selwood, Rockliff, Rich (Steele, D.McKenzie, Glenn)

Goldy, Naitanui (Read)

Gray, Martin, Swan, Goddard, Franklin, Bont (Daniel, Payne)

I'll probably have big problems with M8 & D6 but dems the breaks. Hopefully some loopholing will get me the odd big score.

And if injury strikes? Time to reclaim my weekends.  ;D

Stevie J also left my team this week, just another butchered trade on my part.

Big Mac

Decided not to and i'm already 114 points down on the decision

Should be able to make that back up though

I've had a dozen injury trades this year, not much one can do about it really. Combine that with some poor choices like B.Smith & Stevie Johnson and it's season over. With two rounds before finals I'm throwing caution to the wind but I expect I'll be enjoying my August weekends somewhere away from the football.

honza

Wow I thought I was pov having 2 trades left

I think I'm spending more time analysing my 2016 team lol

HotTiges

3 trades left over here..still have cripps and saad and no gaz..2016 please

justaverage

1 to go, $40k in bank. May as well be 0

jfitty

3 trades left, not looking too bad but still have Brodie Smith and only 7k in the bank.

Will just have to hold tight I'm afraid

Ringo

3 trades left and have Rookies (Lever, A Pearce and Hamling) rotating through D6, and Cripps in Mids but still holding in case of injury - Beams maybe an issue this week.

RaisyDaisy

I've got 4 trades left and a complete side, but I can't see any real trade options because I've got no cash and all my bench are rookies who are playing, but worth flower all.

You need to think about ways to get Gaz in, a premo defender down to Kelly could be one avenue. The longer you leave it the more vulnerable you become. The perma-captain is back and he is a massive weapon in the run home.

I want Gaz badly, but the only real option I see at this point is upgrading Beams if his shoulder will sideline him. Other than that I can't really see a decent option.

Bob Murphy, Simpson, Tmac or Houli to Kelly or Eski is another option, but that isn't good is it?

Feel like I should hold trades til finals, then downgrade Steele to a rookie and upgrade Jelwood to Gaz?

Your call I guess, Steele to rookie should net about 200k in a few weeks, still might need another trade however. Watch Beams carefully this week, doesn't look right and could bleed cash if he's named.
