Ablett, Swan, Boyd, Selwood, Pendlebury, Watson   (Crozier, Gibson)

Maric, Giles   (Redden, Campbell)

Franklin, Martin, Beams, Sidebottom, Dangerfield, B.Harvey, Zorko   (Cameron, Couch)

5 trades and $62,500 remaining



M.I.A this week: Goddard, Waters, Franklin, Martin (should have them all covered though)


alright so just the one upgrade to go (probably keeping Zorks).. and i figure this is probably the week to do it. i say this week because i'm looking to downgrade Cameron (probably maxed out) and upgrade Giles (want big Cox in there)

so the trades i thought of are:

Cameron -> McIntyre
Giles -> Cox

this will only leave me with 3 trades left though, and who knows what could go wrong from here. i have a top 2 spot already sewn up (sitting 1st without a loss, face 2nd in a couple of weeks).. so it's not like i need the upgrade. having said that though, i get the feeling that this is the week to do it. Cameron has a BE of 115. Giles has a BE of 77 which isn't too bad, BUT Cox has a BE of 48, so he's every chance of smashing that.

so the question is should i go ahead with the trades this week? i'm pretty sure that this is the week to do it, but would like to hear some peoples thoughts on the trades?

cheers :)

Giles >> Minson?? Minson averages nearly 90, only missed the one game through suspension this season. Is the extra trade worth Dean Cox??

[Bill Manspeaker]

thanks mate, didn't see that.. wouldn't be a bad option at all

i reckon the extra trade is worth it though, i'm pretty confident in making the grand final.. and i'm also pretty confident on which dude i will be facing. i have more trust in Cox, and i'd rather him in my rucks for the big game. (very confident in making the Grand Final as you can see :P)

If you are going to get Dean Cox, get him this week. Or you may have to wait for another 3-4 to get a better price deal. BE is around 50, and is in red hot form. 3 trades should be fine getting you through. :D

[Bill Manspeaker]

thanks mate, i reckon that's the right thing to do for sure. we all need big Cox... ..???

[Bill Manspeaker]

just quickly is the downgrade a good option? i don't think Cameron has much more to offer my team.. but the real question is who should i jump on? for whatever reason McIntyre is the one that sticks out to me, maybe because of the DPP status?

[PowerBug]

I think he's the best option avaible, also at bottom price too. I don't know any other fwd rookies out there atm. Has a high BE too, so probably good to cut him now.

alright sweet thanks mate :)

Cameron -> McIntyre
Giles -> Cox
is the winner!

cheers mate :)
