So my Chappy-->Fyfe trade worked out beautifully...

I lost all my second chance games, but won my elimination games. Thinking about going for broke now. Maybe:

Swan --> Stevie J
Fyfe --> Taylor Walker

or should I

Swan --> Stevie J or Walker
Shaw --> Scotland or Waters?

BTW 3 trades, 40k...

kilbluff1985

Would go Swan to JPK vs WB @ ES or Sam Mitchell vs GC @ MCG

Then yeah i'd go Fyfe to Stevie J would be worried about Walker getting rested round 23 vs GC

I like Swan --> Stevie J or Walker and Shaw --> Scotland or Waters.

Why don't you put up a poll?

:o Walker getting rested :o haha no way, he plays much better when he has been playing every week and also, he has had 6 weeks off this year! and yep he's playing Brissy, Melbourne and GC, he should go bang and kick bundles!

+1 and If I had more than 1 trade left Taylor Walker would be in my team. Very good POD,very easy draw and NO chance of getting rested!

ALMOST forgot:

Swan --> Scotty T. Just what is his risk of being rested???

Double smokie
Swan --> Scotty T
Fyfe -->Tex or Stevie J or Shaw --> Scotland...

BTW thanks for the input so far, about the poll you dont get ideas from people

woofy

if your going all out

swan>mitchell (still leaves you a little money to upgrade shaw next week?)
fyfe>johnson

Its not an "if". Sanderson made it clear earlier in the year that players would be rested before the finals.
Walker wont be one of them however

Lol read between the lines mate.
No coach will say 100 percent they will rest players before finals when it was only half way through the season when the press conference was held. They could have fallen away or had injuries between now and then, anything.
They are near full  strength though and have a simple run home. Players will be rested, its inevitable. Just like he said

tbagrocks

Teams to rest players before finals =
- Geelong (played how many final in a row)
-Hawthorn (same)

these teams players have had long seasons for a while and were in a position to rest players.
Crows have missed last two finals series, are still trying to get the top two finish and have should have reasonably fresh players this year! completely different scenarios hence... why would Adelaide need to rest players?

I dont know, Sanderson said it was going to happen not me lol
I personally think the whole resting thing is ridiculous. Its just a recent trend that other teams are doing because Geelong were successful with it.
Im certain Adelaide players will be rested though. Sanderson saw first hand the benefits of it at Geelong, they have easy games and he has already basically said it will happen
