2 large cokes · August 09, 2011, 12:10:23 AM

so with his last 4 scores of 99, 81, 84 and 123 he's finally found a bit of consistency. iv stuck with him from the start and my plan was come first week of finals to palm him off for mummy. have 3 trades left and have always left 1 of those for paddy to be traded. my question is.. is it worth getting rid of him atm or am i going to much sideways??

He has the bye in the SC GF.
Though he does play Port in the prelims.
I'd honestly prefer Mummy, but it's up to you. He is also against Cox and NicNat during the semi's.

I think u may as well hold on to him now with only 3 trades left...

Hows the rest of your team looking?
Would it benefit you more to upgrade elsewhere?

Gibbs, goddard, fisher, deledio, broughton, suckling, adcock (puopolo, markovic, toy)

Murphy, swan, ablett, boyd, priddis, montagna (smith, jacobs, calinan)

Cox, ryder (smith, j.tip)

Pav, fyfe, goodes, petrie, chappy, franklin, n.roo (j.roo, richo, Howe)

by looking at my team (if all fit) its fairly strong I'n most areas besides a second ruck really. thoughts?

I would hold and assess on a week to week basis with 3 trades left. If worried about rucks do you have the cash to go Smith to Mumford retaining Ryder as your back up. Just work out your plan for covering Geelong and Carltons byes.

Nah about 50 grand short of that idea. I want to make 1 trade though this week just to strengthen up my team so hopefully can win round 1 of finals and skip a week into the semis.

Any other ideas on upgrades besides the rucks guys?

Maybe J Roo to ROK if cash allows allows you to cover Murphy and Chapman

I dont know why you wouldnt just do it
You have petrie as backup come injury should happen, you cant carry essendon players into a GF
The only other thing to do would be to switch petrie into the rucks permanantly and upgrade a forward to compensate. Whatever works best
