$86k remaining

[kma07]

Rowe to Saad

Goldstein to Mcintosh


Harvey to T.Rockliff

What do u think of those changes?

[Ringo]

Backs: Very Solid just wary of 2nd year syndrome with Heppell.
Mids: Solid with Harvey to Rockliff
Rucks Just be careful Berger , H Mac and Giles share round 11 bye.
Forwards; Solid

Overall Sound Team 8/10 mainly due to the fact with Ruck byes. Look at Mummy or McEvoy as alternates to Berger.

good side

just a few points:
-not sure about carrazzo! would rather broughton?
-maybe 1 mid short? could change depending on how well gaff plays good risk
-better rookies out there such as morris/dickson/saad/pffifer/d.smith/shiel

give me a rate?

Tomlinson > D.Smith

A.Kennedy > Saad

Def: Solid Eski risky but great unique.
Mids: Uniques again Jack looks set for another big year.
Rucks: Same lock and load
For: Porps risky, Dangerfield and Sidebottom mid prices, maybe go with one and upgrade the other

Nice looking squad overall with options to tweak!

[CatAttack9]

DEF: Looks very strong, similar to mine, so I think its great.
MID: Very strong. No faults there.
RUCK: Flawless.
FWD: Might be worth looking at downgrading Danger and upgrading Sidebottom to someone like D. Martin. Could go either way though.

Looks like a very good squad. 9/10

22 Trades remaining



Goodes and Fyfe will be benched

Should I hold off on any trades?

How do you think K.Jack will fair this season?

[Ringo]

No need to trade this week if comfortable. Just watch Ledger, Baguely and possibly Smedts. Look at bringing in treloar or McDonald for Ledger next week if he does not play or is the sub this week.  Both these players will be on the bubble after this week.

Regarding Jack he is not a big SC scorer (I had him last year until his injury) and while serviceable will not bang out big scores.  Expect him to average 85/95 if he maintains current form and injury free.  Whether that is enough for a keeper is up to you. He is also up and down as well. Had six scores less than 70 last year.   

[kma07]

Thanks Ringo

That's enough to convince me to trade Jack.

[Ringo]

rather than trade him now may be worth keeping till you are ready for first upgrade with fatted cash cows. Just my opinion but with his price of $440k would not waste a sideways trade at the moment. With some rookies rising in price he could become a prem in the 600/700k range around Round 7/8.  Think he will maintain his average or better so will not be the worst mid for you.

[kma07]

Yeh I'll stick with him until then and see how he's fairing then

Thank Ringo
