When it's okay to trade sideways

[ubeaut]

Did you make the trade?

No I read this article... http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2018-04-06/frosts-return-to-freeup-hibberd
and combined with your thoughful words above I held tight.  ;D

I read that article too, and kept him, wish I hadn't.
Lever was the one to get freed up as loose in defence, and Hibberd still not taking many kick ins.
Yes he got 92 (5 less than Simpson who I was gonna get) but he got lucky from one passage of play where he got a contested mark and long effective kicks.
Simpson is running the show with no Doch and a young group down back. Kicking to himself and racking it up.
If I didn't have other issues (Merrett,Brayshaw,Ryan) I would trade him to Simmo.
Hope Hibberd proves me wrong but really not confident.

I'm not overly confident either, but at least I started Simmo. Shaw was my target and he only scored 60 odd.
92 is a step in the right direction but three rounds in, no hundreds and a lower possession count with no kick ins is a concern.
