Hi,
5 Trades left, $348K in bank.

Looking at trading three players in the next week or two - Ablett & Broughton or Fisher & Lecras . Line-up is below. (Underlined are trade options)

Back: Gibbs, Goddard, Enright, Heppell, Suckling, Lower, puopolo,  (Shaw, Duigan, Deledio, )
Mid: Pendlebury, Boyd, Swan, Montagna, Liberatore, Hibberd, (Goodes, o'Keefe,  Iles)
Forward: Fyfe, Pavlich, Franklin, Chapman, Mzungu, I.Smith , d.talia (Riewoldt J, riewoldt N, t Lynch)
Rucks: Cox, Smith Vardy Derickx

I am looking at either upgrading liberatore to Ablett and saving Hibberd's MPP for flexibility with Heppel or upgrading Hibberd due to him being out for another few weeks.

Backline is Shaw -> Fisher or Broughton. Given they have similar runs home I am leaning towards broughton

Forward trade is up for negotiation at this stage

I would go Shaw to Fisher purely because he is $58k chepaer than Broughton.
As you mids are strong I would also look at trading Hibberd to Andreoli (know he probabably wont play but will be your M9 and retain the DPP increasing your cash by $200k. Hibberd is injured and has a bye in finals so you will probably only get a couple of games from him anyway.)
When looking at forwards consider Leon Davis as a POD (Look at his scores over the last 8 weeks and you will see what i mean) and he will probably even get more of it with Shaws suspension, (Can not believe i am saying this after being burnt by him last year).
