Solid Bench Cover

[StuL]

So I upgraded Petracca to Deledio today giving me my 7th prem forward and now have Hall at M9(F7) who I will loop with Libba each week for M8, and I have Sinclair as ruck and forward cover too

Feeling pretty good about having this sort of depth, although my backline is still fielding rookies with shower cover LOL

I've known for some time that I would run out of trades early this year, so felt it was important to ensure I had good cover.

Ideally I would have loved to upgrade Libba/Hall to elite prems but I just don't have the trades and consider depth more important. Hopefully the points I can potentially gain through loopholing now will make up for the points I miss from not having Hanners/Neale etc

Anyone else got decent bench cover atm too?

If not, do you think you will? And who will you be looking to have as cover, and by when?

Got Weiters as bench cover in Def which I think is not too bad. Still have 13 trades. will have 11 and a team full of premos but for that last bench spot. Adams in D6 can still average 80s and an upgrade is only worth an extra 15-20 so that's the last priority. Will hopefully get Dahl and JJ when they come back and maybe do upgrades in the mids but probably not bother with too much bench cover if I can just swing a forward in, in case of injuries.

DBJ/Collins D7/8

Kedge F7/M9

6 trades left with Libba left to upgrade, not sure whether to just use the one trade on Libba - Hanners or use a few on pushing Libba to M9 for better cover.

[Keeper27]

D7 - Collins
M9 - Libba
R3 - Cox
F7 - Kerridge

[meow meow]

I play 2 of Roberton/Wilson/Collins/McDT on field down back.
Got Gaff in 2 weeks ago, also got Trengove at M10
Got Cox in the rucks with Hickey at F7 (can be looped if needed)

[AaronKirk]

With Hopper out this week I decided to trade him this week and keep Libba so Libba is my M9. I have Collins and Brand doing enough on the defensive bench. Need to upgrade a forward rookie to move Hall to F7. Will hang on to trades in case I need to trade out a ruck.

At the moment have 10 trades left with this cover:

D7: Adams

M9: Kerridge

R3: Goetz

F7: Cox

Looking to finish with:

D7: Enright

M9: Libba

R3: Cox

F7: Wingard

Would you guys rather have

petracca m9 with hall at f7 and a 460 or less defender at d6

or

Trengrove m9 with hall at f7 and  460+k defender at d6

Bit hard to judge, would rather Petracca M9 but depending on who these defenders would be Trenners might be the better option. Who would you be looking at for D6?

[PICCOLLO]

Ive got cox at r3, Montagna at m9/f7, collins at d7.

Also have a bunch of rookies. Will upgrade collins later on, probably to JJ, injuries permitting.

could probably grab anyone such as boyd/johanissen/laird/gibbo reckon they can all go 100+ from here

but otherwise id have to look at someone like savage/reid/suckling who id rather not have

[RaisyDaisy]

Jonathan Marsh, James Aish or Trent McKenzie

Is it worth spending a few bucks to turn Lee (Or possibly Brand) into one of these guys for D7 cover?

[tttt]

currently have kerridge at m9
collins at d7
libba at m8
6 trades left with 130k (need to trade nicnat to goldy/stefan after byes)
waiting for dahl to come back to swap him in for kerridge which leaves hall at f7/m9

[Jelemas10]

Plan to go Petracca to Dahlhaus when he is healthy, will leave me with:

Greene and Hall at F6/7 to loophole with the possibility of using 1 as mid cover as well.
Def 7 - Collins

[HotTiges]

D7 collins
M9 trengove
F7 Hall or Kedge

[RaisyDaisy]

There don't seem to be many people at all with ruck cover

Goldy or Gawn out for a 1 gamer might help me lol
