Should I just let them sit there? Pick this to shreds please!

[n.r.i.]

With pendles, Scotland and mcintosh all injured, with 14 trades should I pull the pin, and if so to who?

Current team (full strength)

Goddard, Scotland, deledio, h shaw, Broughton, lake, Hargrave (Ellis, spur)

Ablett, Boyd, Mitchell, pendles, horsley, jmac (Zorko, dsmith)

Hmac, Giles (redden, bigo)

Buddy, Martin, danger, beams, Sidey, Robinson, Tippett (smedts, hall)

Thinking of getting rid of Tippett for steviej or chappy eventually also, but what should I do right now , btw got 80k

Any other trade suggestions would be great also, cheers guys,

Mids and Rucks are clearly your weakest spots. You have the same ruck combo as myself. I am looking at keeping H-Mac because i dont have too many trades left (although you have). I will be going Big O to sam Jacobs. 350k, has the potential to average 90 in the latter half of the season with a softish draw.
For the mids I'd be getting in Swan and one of Jelwood or Thommo.
I'm not sure how you'll do this. With the lack of downgrade options atm it's going to be hard. Shaw and Crozier are probably your only options. Hopefully Gibson (needs to be upgraded), Mitchell and Couch get games shortly.

What are your thoughts on pendles and Scotland, should I hold or trade?

HOLD pendles. don't even think about trading him. could possibly return after his bye. get rid of scotland. straight swap to birchall!

[bc6840836]

you have 14 trades left, min. 3 upgrades, 2 in the mid and 1 in the ruck (needing 6 trades), then potentially 1 more upgrades for Lake or Hargrave  taking 2 more trades, then 4 for finals and 2 for LTIs between now and then = 14 trades.

Pendles and Scotland (and H. Shaw) are probably most likely to come back fairly soon and most likely to score ok in my mind. Hmac's role is well covered by Goldy and Petrie so may be eased back and if North can't make finals may have an early end to the season. If it was my side I'd trade Hmac to Cox or Maric and Ellis to Sam Shaw to bring in some cash, and in the next couple of weeks your top priority should be to use the cash cows to get those last 3 upgrades locked in.

Can't imagine why you'd touch your forward line while you have horsely and jmac in the midfield on the ground?

Just my 2 cents....

Was thinking these trades,

Round 12 :Ellis to shaw and horsley (if not named) to base rookie, hopefully gibsons named

Giving me 400 k or so

Round 13: upgrade jmac/dsmith, but to who is my question, Watson, Scott t, swan, stanton?

I'd prefer minimum 6 trades going into the first week of the finals coz you don't want to be stuck with a zero at the worst possible time!
But the Hmac-Maric/Cox and Ellis-S.Shaw trades seem pretty solid!
