Round 16 Trades

[djbics]

Brayshaw for Ronke via Sicily

McClean for Phillips via Ahern

Leaves me with 5 remaining

[Ringo]

With Fyfe out for 4/5 think I need to use 1 of my 3 trades but who to - Neale, JPK, Gaff, Cripps and a couple of PODS in Ward and Higgins. 
Think Neale may cop more attention with Fyfe out so tentatively ruling him out.
Although Missy Higgins was on my never again list he is putting up a strong case as a nice POD and has a nice draw coming up. Only concern though is will he join the injured brigade if I pick him.

Yeah I have doubts on Neale also. With no Fyfe (4-5) or Sandi (3) Freo will struggle big time. And yes Neale will likely cop more attention.
I'd just go Cripps in your position. All goid having a POD but will Higgins or Ward outscore Cripps?

[RaisyDaisy]

I really thought I was going to go the entire season without Danger, but I guess he seems like the best choice for Fyfe now

Carlton have a favourable draw so could be fine but just a slight concern if they can not avoid spoon he may get a rest. or if niggling injuries early surgery to prepare for 2019.

Same here, brought Kelly in last week as my 'last' mid instead of Danger, but seems the obvious choice now, maybe Gaff.

Have Mitchell, Fyfe, Cripps, Oliver, Kelly, Martin, Merrett, Crouch.

[Urbaninfinnity]

I originally went to Gaff, didn't even consider jpk until i saw people mentioning him in here. They've both been solid, with only a couple sup-par games. Now I don't know.  :P

JPK has dates with Scott Selwood and Jacobs in the next 2 weeks.

I am thinking the same but I hoping to use Tim Kelly for cover until Macrae plays one match so it could be a straight swap

[RaisyDaisy]

I'm copping a donut with Heeney and Battle out

Might have to downgrade Fyfe to a fwd, swing Heeney to mid bench and field Holman this week

Certainly not ideal as it means I'll essentially have a Forward at M8 but with only 2 trades left I really don't want to use them both and then be done for the year

Either way this year probably isn't going to end well lol

Personally I would rather grab Danger & cop the donut.

I am hoping Tim Smith plays otherwise I will have to go early on Sier or Narkle and trade out Smith via Stevenson or Ahern

[Bully]

Really stuck on the Fyfe trade, none of the options standout. Thinking the best bet will be Beams or Crouch & pocket the cash.

Havn't been on long, so the Crouch broken hand is a rumour?

I have 2 trades left, with Heeney and Fyfe out

My bench is

Ridley and Redman
Holman, Barry and Mutch
Battle and Keeffe

I could just trade Fyfe to Danger, hold my last trade and cop the donut or I could trade Fyfe to Billings via Heeney to mids and then Ridley to Hurley

With DPP I can swing Sicily forward and field Hurley this week, but although I'll have no trades left I will have mid/fwd DPP and Def/fwd DPP and when Heeney returns the following week he remains in the mids for the rest of the year, with Holman as cover and continued flexibility with 7 defenders (Sicily forward but can go back if need be)

Hate that I'd be out of trades, and no ruck cover but I would have cover on all other lines which I think is probably the best use of my final trades as opposed to just being left with one trade and a donut

Thoughts?
