Not a Broughton Trade Poll - Grimes instead.

[KnightRyder]

I put Grimes in last minute just before lockout after seeing him named in the centres  >:(.  Of course since then he hasn't been playing too much up there, but more down back.  Even though Melbourne are rubbish, and the ball should always be in their backline, he has only been coming up with 60's.  He had no pre-season, so he might just be getting up some game time, but Melbourne have a pretty crap draw until their bye.

So the question is, do I wait a bit longer for Grimes, see how he goes (he can't lose that much money) or do I trade him for Hargrave now and pocket the cash for upgrades later.  I have Waters, so I am guessing Hargrave is the next best option, but if you have any other thoughts, I am happy for that too.

Grimes won't make you much cash if he makes it to $400K then he is a keeper and it doesnt matter because to do that he has to average 90+.

So You either keep him he won't go down more than $5K a week if he keeps playing average so no rush.

If he stays fit he is more LIKELY than UNLIKELY to score well.

If at any time he convinces you he is a $300k player that scores 70 avg and thats all he is - downgrade him to a rook after the rooks second game or UPGRADE him to a premium keeper.

Trading him to Hargrave now is swapping one maybe for another maybe, saying that I am glad I have Hargrave in my team over grimes, BUT i do have grimes in my sportsbet team so GET UP son.

Trading him to Hargrave now is also trading in a cash boost with hargraves rise but then the money you make off hargrave is made by using 2 TRADES not just 1, so if hargrave goes up 150K you might think thats great but its only made you $75K per trade used
