Tell me this trade is ok??

[TheBeatles]

18 trades - league only

def - godd, lids, birchall,scotland BUGG, Hargreves, Morris (Ellis, Townsend)
Mid - Murphy, swan, selwood, thompson, horse, jmac (shiel, c smith)
Fwd - buddy, d mouse, lewis, side butt, martin, trelor, d smith, (Smedts, Hall)

would like get rid of ellis but not enough cash so thinking:
Bugg out - smedts DPP to backline and zorko in fwds.
Upgrade sheil to beams and then DPP to fwds for zorko

team then
def - godd, lids, birchall,scotland  Hargreves, Morris smedts (Ellis, Townsend)
Mid - Murphy, swan, selwood, thompson, horse, jmac (Zorko, c smith)
Fwd - buddy, d mouse, lewis, side butt, martin, Beams, trelor, (d smith, Hall)

downgrade giles net week and have $300K to get premium mid and another prem back week aftER
Thoughts or any other options

[Windigo]

I'd keep Bugg and oust Ellis.

Keep Giles!!!

[The_Captain]

keep giles! bugg close to max price, same as ellis.

[Mr.Craig]

As above - keep Giles. Who were you thinking of downgrading him to BTW? ???

[TheBeatles]

if i keep bugg not enough cash to get beams.
also have cox and sandi in ruck so looking for cheap rookie just for cover.  have redden there but will downgrade giles to oren maybe ???

[The_Captain]

not to oren. jenkins is a better bet.. but that doesnt cover bye structure.. rookie rucks are a pain right now. Maybe wait for guys like Tom derickx he may get a game.. Doubt it, but hes looking like out best bet atm..

No, don't get Orren.

Can you afford Robinson if you go Ellis to Smedts?

Edit - Okay, sorry you have Smedts already. Well, Spurr then.

[TheBeatles]

no will only have 435K - who is best fwd Zaha?

[The_Captain]

Freeos Pearce and of course Pav are worth a look there Beatle mania :o

[TheBeatles]

thanks all ;)

throw any other ideas through!!

[The_Captain]

yeh, pav is starting to come good. Still not 100% sold of clancee. still he is doing well!

[TheBeatles]

get on the polls ;D

[Mochasons]

Bugg out - smedts DPP to backline and zorko in fwds.
Upgrade sheil to beams and then DPP to fwds for zorko


^^ This is AMAZING use of the new rules. I salute this trade. It needs to be framed and hung on a wall for how brilliant it is!

However....

Would this be better:
Bugg -> Spur
Shiel -> Boyd

Get on Zorko trade next week when he is on the bubble.

[TheBeatles]

cheers Mocha - had boyd last year and put in some shockers late.  Last 2 premos im after are ablett and pendles.  Boyd may be a side ways for LTI for other premo mids.

I think now is the cheapest beams will get and definatley in top 5 fwds this year
