wow.. 13 trades and 270k left with THAT team?! what are you ranked?!?

ummm you could potentially have one of the greatest teams in about 3 weeks if you work your trades right lol.. id be ugrading curnow firstly to a super duper premium. then downgrade darling or knights to callinan. the week after upgrade duigan or toy to adcock or another premium. Your options are endless mate.

[Tiggerfan]

Lower or Duigan to Fisher
Swallow and Curnow to Priddis and Murphy
Darling/Knights to Franklin

[GoLions]

Lower or Duigan to Fisher
Swallow and Curnow to Priddis and Murphy
Darling/Knights to Franklin

He already had franklin. go duigan to fisher, and see if there is a good downgrade option for 2 of either knights, darling, curnow. then upgrade a mid to a marc murphy or a priddis

thanks for the feed back, im not sure who to bring in up foward atm, priddis and fisher were going to be my next moves. is boomer a good pick or maybe didak when he comes back??

I would upgrade Curnow to Priddis and Duigan to Fisher so you get rid of the Carlton bye Round 23.

Up until last night I would have said Sylvia as a forward upgrade target but he has put out 2 stinkers in the last 2 weeks but he may be an upgrade target prior to finals if he regains form. Other forward upgrades to look at would be Fyfe or if looking for a POD maybe LeCras from west Coast.

May also be time to look at cashing in Zac Smith for another ruck as he appears to be running out of steam last 2 scores 71 & 63.

[daz123]

well this week throws up a whole lot of issues that i need to deal with, anybody have any opinions on what to do?

[Ringo]

This is different from previous
Sandilands > McEvoy giving you a ruck duo of Cox and McEvoy with neither having any byes.
Duigan to Fisher should leave around $80k cash

Next week look at downgrade targets with view to upgrading Swallow/Curnow to Priddis .

Reassess after that

11 trades left what a luxury with only 7 rounds to go.
You may have missed the boat on some downgrades to get cash for upgrades.
Steps I would take as follows:
If Sandilands named this week keep if not trade to Mumford, Jamar, or Jolly
Downgrade Zac Smith to Rory Thomson (Definitely do this as he is on the bubble this week)
If Sandilands named then do Duigan to Talia (he is also on the bubble this week)
Then look at Otten to Fisher
Swallow to Priddis
and then some forward upgrades to complete Team Fyfe is possibly a must for finals.
Review and reassess each week so that by end of round 20 in 3 weeks time you have 5/6 trades for finals.

Reasonably strong team, with forwards a weakness, and where are you placed in leagues

[charliesheen]

I think Coad re did his hammy, so Rory Thompson's job security is looking much better.

With 11 trades, I would be looking at a double downgrade.

Maybe Toy/Darling > Talia & Smith > Rory Thompson.

then go upgrade crazy next week.
