CURRENT TEAM
Bank: $168500
Trades: 6

D: Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Birchall, Grimes, Heppell, Dempsey (Shaw, Spurr)
M: Pendlebury, Watson, Rockliff, Boyd, Priddis, van Berlo (McDonald, Gibson)
R: Ryder, McIntosh (Redden, Campbell)
F: Beams, Sidebottom, Franklin, Johnson, Lewis, Dangerfield, Goodes (Zorko, Hall)

Main thoughts at the moment are I am willing to do maybe 1 downgrade and 3 upgrades to finish this team.

1) van Berlo > Carrazzo (means I can play Goddard for the next 2 weeks on the midfield bench)
2) McIntosh > Maric/Griffin/Mumford/McEvoy (if i'm buying a premium ruck its Maric, otherwise I buy an underpriced not inbetween)
3) McDonald > Murphy (after he's played 2-3 games)
4) Downgrade Sam Shaw to Kurt Aylett (helps move Goddard back into defence with Dempsey as cover, also Aylett should get game time in the next few weeks)

Basically this will leave me with a DEF/MID cover option and Zorko to cover the forwards for the rest of the year, so I thought that barring LTIs I could get away with a remaining 2 trades and ~100k through to finals.

RESULTANT TEAM
Bank: ~$100,000
Trades: 2

D: Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Carrazzo, Birchall, Grimes, Heppell (Dempsey, Spurr)
M: Pendlebury, Watson, Rockliff, Boyd, Murphy, Priddis (Gibson, Aylett)
R: Ryder, Maric (Redden, Campbell)
F: Beams, Sidebottom, Franklin, Johnson, Lewis, Dangerfield, Goodes (Zorko, Hall)
