MID's obviously quite weak with no Swanny. Might downgrade JMac to Couch and then upgrade Barlow/Rocky to him first week of finals but pretty happy overall.

nice team, yep JMac to Couch and then upgrade Barlow/Rocky

[Dudge]

Yeah u have cover on every line, so i'd wait as long as possible. Especially if your safely in the 4/8. Nice team btw

[Jukes]

Lot of weak premiums in there like Broughton, Lake, Jacobs, Barlow, Martin would rather have proper premos in there.

I agree 100% Jukes, but with 4 trades, and all the injuries, late withdrawals, runny noses, restings in final, i think it would be wiser to play semi-premos for now, unless he's fighting to make the 8. i realise ur not telling him to trade, but i am lol

If you're really fighting to get into finals (or top 4), I'd have to suggest upgrading some of the aforementioned "weak premiums". However, with only 4 trades, holding until finals (assuming you're set) is probably the better move. It's the kind of semi-unique team that could fire huge one week and make you look legendary (Rocky should smash the Suns and Barlow could do well against the Dees this week).

[Spinking]

Reckon you are spot on with those trades. Keep an eye on Swannys BE though. He is sliding a bit at the moment. If you hang fire another week or so you might get him a a better price.

I agree with you on Broughts & Lake but...
- Barlow's averaging 99 if you exclude his sub-affected games
- Jacobs is ranked 3rd for ruck total points and has an 87 avg
and as for Martin, well....most people have him anyway  :P

There are 22 midfielders averaging 100 or more and that's without taking out any injury or sub games from players just missing the cut (e.g. Marc Murphy). You can't be a premium midfielder if you're averaging under 100. Ideally, you'd want 6 averaging 105+ and most of them averaging 110+. Barlow just isn't a true premium mid.
