7. Rockliff (FWD)   55
8. Davis (FWD) (Emerg)   37


anyway, averaging 2145 this year, but been carrying a few passengers in the forward line.  Watching Hall and Ziebell's scores the last few weeks is like having sand kicked in my eyes.  You could add Rob Murphy and Ryan Schoenmakers to that list, although Schoenmakers is really just a safety for my backline but I had hoped he would do better (2 last week, for flower sake)

I have $225k in the bank, 13 trades remaining.

Looking to get rid of Hall with a break even of 177 for Fyfe, Varcoe, Pav or Grundy (or ???)

Ideally I would like some spare change left to upgrade Murphy and Ziebell in the next few weeks.  I'm hoping they've bottomed out and will pull the finger out and start improving in the next few weeks.  I think Pav/Grundy are near the peak.  Varcoe, is on the bubble, can he keep that average up?  Grundy and Fyfe,  am I too late?

Thoughts?

Hey, you're doing pretty well for your first year at SC.

Your forward line probably needs the most work for upgrading atm. I think that you need to say sionora to Hall this week. I like the Hall to Pav trade myself as you will be trading in a keeper. Varcoe - not convinced he is a keeper IMO. Grundy - could be a keeper? Fyfe - leaves a lot of money left over, but his job security is not crash hot with a few Freo players coming back from injury & fighting to get back in the best 22.

However, If you want some more $$$ left over and still want a premium, go Hall to Higgins. Higgins is will consistently score in the 80 - 110 range & is a very skillful user of the ball. I certainly think that Ziebell & Murphy need upgrading as well. Hopefully, some of your cash cows will grow in value enough to warrant doing a double trade for a premium & a cheapie who will play.

Hi Coxy

I've been waiting for Hall to snap and get rubbed out so I didn't feel as guilty for trading him out. 

I've been tossing up the Hall --> Pav trade all week but hadn't thought of the Hall --> Higgins which would save me a fair amount of coin for upgrades in the following weeks.

Next few weeks, I'm looking to upgrade Ziebel and Murphy to either Bradshaw (had a shocker against Scarlett last week), Goodes (lots of upside) or the Pav, but that'll mean using up 4 trades to farm the cash cows and upgrade Z and Murphy.  That would leave me with only 8 trades for the rest of the season  :-\

[DeRock]

Actually, the other option is trading Hall --> Higgins this week, and then Trengrove --> Goodes in the midfield next week. 

Since Higgins/Ziebell/Goodes are all MID/FWD I can then substitute Goodes to the forward line to strength that up and Ziebell to the midfield where he can safely sit on the pine whilst he works himself back into form before I farm him off.

Is that how the dual position players system works?

[Big_Cox14]

Yes, DeRock you're spot on with the MPP ruling.
