Sorry J Lyons from Adelaide not Irons. I have 18 trades left and 15K in bank. Thanks.

Your team's very strong and you have a lot of trades left. I would probably do the following trades:
Ellis >> Spurr
Bugg >> Michael Johnson (or any other premium you can afford)

[griffenphoenix]

I brought in spurr for Ellis and birchall for Bugg. Not sold on spurr as an investment but seemed to be the best available downgrade. I also believe birchall to be under valued at the moment. I am in need of a 5th premo mid and another solid forward. I am still being patient with my gws boys though, Bugg excluded, because I feel another $30-40K growth in them.

Feel as if my midfield is weakest. Any suggestions?

Shiel was due to a cash in but after his 94, you can wait 1-2 more weeks. depending on how he goes. Horsley might have fattened up by then, if you don't want to keep him. Yeah, its the weakest i agree, you could pretty much keep your def/fwd lines like that if you wish. I suggest getting in Swan(when he comes back) or Ablett for a solid captain choice week in week out, otherwise Thompson and Pendles are good options for your understrength mids.

nice side

your next step should be a super prem - Ablett, Pandles, Swan

Scored 2264 and have a weak league opponent so thinking a trade-free week might be smart. My only concern is S Morris and whether he has peaked. I could downgrade to Darley and pick up some cash. My other concern is big H McIntosh. Goldstein's performance on the w/e was sensational and I'm bothered with the impact this will have on H-Mac. I can side-trade to Cox, Maric or Sandilands but this will breach my no side-trade rule (bar LTI). My GWS boys have survived another week with their stellar performances!

Morris to darley and upgrade D Smith...
