Ouch! NRoo and Jelwood out! Need help...

[freddo81]

Team is:-

Backs: Lids, Goddard, Birch, Waters, Dempsey, S.Shaw, Spurr (Bell,Paine)
Mids: Ablett, Watson, Boyd, JELWOOD, Pendlebury, JPK (JMac,Sexton)
Ruck: Cox, Nic Nat (Redden,Big O)
Fwds: Beams, Sidey, Danger, StevieJ, Goodes, NROO, M. Johnson (Smedts,Crozier)

1 trade left $128k in kitty.

My opponent has Jelwood aswell but he has Gibson as cover and I have the old man JMac.

PODS:- Opponent                         Me
                   
           H. Shaw                          Birchall                     
           Enright                            Waters
           Lake                               S.Shaw
           Bugg                              Spurr/Bell


          Murphy                             Boyd
          Gibson                              JMac


           Maric                                Cox


          Hawkins                            Beams
          Pavlich                              Goodes
          JRoo                                M.Johnson
          Zorko                                  ???

What it all boils down to is I'm a bit worried about Gibson vs JMac as cover for Jelwood. But, with NRoo out for season and Smedts unlikely to get a gig I feel I must trade NRoo, but to who??? I was thinking Hawkins, to nullify his POD or do I go my own POD with ROK or Roughy??? If Smedts somehow gets a gig, then do I trade Jelwood for Murphy and have Smedts on the field leaving me with Boyd vs Gibson in the mids???

Decisions decisions! Any help/thoughts would be greatly appreciated! 

Oh, and good luck to all who are playing in their prelim's this week!  :D

I like ROK aswell but hawkins is the best power fwd in the AFL atm and should monster the bulldogs.

I think you should get your own POD in the forwards (or mids).. Roughy and ROK are great options.. consistent and should be able to easily cover what NRoo would've contributed..

Or trade Selwood avg (118) to Swannie(avg 123.7)..  + 5.7 in terms of avg
I have a feeling Swan will have a big one after the break..

I like to use the averages as an indication.. NRoo(avg 95.9) to Roughy (avg 105.8 ) ...so +9.9 in terms of avg

Based on that I'd go Roughy.. but consider Swanny as well..
