[CFC 1979]

if you have 20 000 - 30 000 you can straight swap to suckling

[Ringo]

Solid team just needing a little tweaking.
These are the trades I would be considering only the first one essential for this week.
Trades for Cash
Jacobs/Markovic to Talia this week as he is on the bubble. (jacobs for greater cash)
IMO you can not afford $300+ Ruck sitting on the pine. I would do the Z Smith to Joel Tippett downgrade for cash.  Gives you the additional Ruck Cover by allowing you to swap Petrie or Lobbe as required.
Theses trades Jacobs/Smith will increase your cash to $378K
Upgrades for finals
Shaw to Suckling/Newman - Newman after Richmonds bye in 2 weeks if you wish to go that way. Either choice is good will use approx $25k
Mzungu to Swan at the moment uses $177k but dependent on price fluctuations when activated
Darling/McKernan/howe to a premium mid that can be afforded.
Leaves you 1 additional trade for upgrades or LTI's

[chowder]

Thanks ringo,have put talia for Jacobs and traded z.smith for J Tippett still have shaw on bench 1trade left this week,$356,000 in bank,would you save the shaw trade till next week and bring in a fwd eg.rioli?this week?thanks

[Ringo]

Rioli scored  110 last week and has a B/e of 74 this week so if keen  on him would do this week.

[chowder]

Ok finished 3rd,3 trades left,still have h.shaw.should I keep Cotchin?do I need to get either swan or priddis  like everyone else?cheers.oh 176,000 to spend.

[chowder]

Sorry and I did trade Howe for rioli for rd20,cheers

[Ringo]

Depends on who you think will score the more Cotchin or Mzungu. Trade one and keep the other as cover for Judd and Bartell.
So if only doing a single trade i would go Cotchin to Swan (Cost 119k)
Shaw to Bock not enough cash left for Broughton. (Bock may be the unique you need)
Go with your gut feel though on all trades as we know things change dramatically.

[chowder]

As you get a second chance I would hold. In same position (2nd v 3rd) as you with only 2 trades and i am holding.

[chowder]

 Thanks ringo,at the moment it stands:
Me:
Lids,nicoski,barrel,cotchin,cox,goodes,Stevie j,darling
Him:
Lids,0keefe,selwood,cox,goodes,chappie,darling
I am 133points behind,I need cotchin and nicoski to have big games I. Think.

[chowder]

Bartel not barrel

[Ringo]

Hindsight is wonderful Swan and Bock would have been handy!!!  Or the joys of knowing when to trade, Hope Selwood has a stinker for you as well.

[chowder]

yep lost by 50 points,should i trade out my geelong players eg bartel,stevie j and go for broke now and maybe bring in swan ,priddis and pav or harvey,still have heath shaw on bench,lower being the sub this week could cause me problems as my next opposition this week has suckling.
team;
gibbs,godd,lids,fisher,broughton,nicoski,lower(h.shaw,markovic,talia)

pendles,judd,ablett,bartel,cotchin,hodge,(mzungu,i.smith,callinan)
