only after a league win, sitting equal first (2nd by 1%, so i class it as equal first :D)

okay trades this week i was thinking..

I.Smith -> Callinan
Hibberd -> Shaw

alright so i know Callinan's still out for a couple of weeks but i feel like i have to milk Smith now. would sorta like someone to maybe talk me out of it though, because although Smith's B/E is around 90 this week, he might bounce back and start making more cash.

IF i didn't go the downgrade, i could still afford a Puopolo -> Shaw straight swap, with about 10k left. (i'm 100 bucks short on a straight swap with Hibberd)

the main question is will Shaw be a reliable pick? my plans were to get in Suckling and Fisher as my final 2 back upgrades, but with Shaw being cheaper (and also averaging more than Suckling) i feel like Shaw would be the better pick.



the short of it - can afford Shaw with Pups, but he has a lower B/E than Hibberd. so i think the downgrade would be better (can definately be talked out of it though). also, which downgrade should i make?

I.Smith -> Callinan
or
Prestia/Lynch -> Talia 
or
that's i got :P would really love some assisstance here!


thanks for reading this guys, please if someone could help me it would be massively appreciated!

cheers :)

I. Smith will not drop $$$ because it is the Hawthorn bye this week.

Would just stick to Hibberd > Shaw for now.

Don't take a punt on Callinan unless you absolutely have to.  Wait till he actually plays.

[Bill Manspeaker]

thanks for the reply mate

i figure although he isn't playing this week, good chance i'd have to get rid of him next week anyway. ya still talked me out of it though sorta and that's what i wanted ;)

i'm $100 short on the Hibberd trade, which means i'd have to get rid of Puopolo. should i make that trade?

[charliesheen]

yeh should be ok to use pups seeing its his bye

just make sure you switch hibberd and jacobs positions so jacobs is emergency

[Bill Manspeaker]

sweet cheers.

yeah i've switched a few of my players around, that's my best 22 on paper. i save it as a text so i don't have to type it every time.

atm, Hibberd is benched in my mids and Jacobs is on the ground down back. it's out of Jacobs and Toy for the field and i went with Jacobs

cheers for the help mate


edit: actually no worries, i'm a moron and didn't realize that with Shaw in my side i wouldn't need to field Jacobs or Toy

[Bill Manspeaker]

flower you heath shaw. seriously. i hope you get cancer and you're family gets abducted by the sick flower from the human centipede and he flowers 'em up. if it came out in the news tomorrow that some random dude broke into shaw's house and flowered his whole family up, i would laugh, i would love it.

flower heath shaw. flower him in his stupid ass
