Seems the Hawks are not too sure when Buddy will be back. Might be affected by it when he plays and do even worse? Sounds like a niggling injury...

I think you should pull the trigger, Buddy is hardly a premium anymore and add in this niggling injury and the fact you are copping a 0 I think it is time to go.

Got much cash to grab yourself a gun?

$181,600

I can do a swap to Walker for about 20k so it leaves me with 3 trades, a nice chunk of change and a team of


Backs: Goddard, Hibberd, Gibbs, Cannon, Malceski, Hanley (Clisby, Thurlow)
Mids: Ablett, Pendles, Griffen, Swan, JPK, Jack, Priddis, Selwood (Mitchell, Hrovat)
Rucks: Goldstein, Minson (Nicholls, Rowe)
Forwards: Cox, Nic Nat, Bartel, Rocky, Walker, Stevie J (Staker, Murdoch)

I am hesitant to make the trade as it only leaves me with 3 left, but if the injury continues to linger, he could be out for a lot longer

Team looks set mate! I think you should pull the trigger and just hope you dont have to spend many more of the precious trades.

Risky but I dont like seeing Buddy in your team :-\

Hey Jayman

I'm in a pickle and am not sure which to prioritize

I've got 9 trades remaining with $168K in the bank

I was foolish and brought in hawkins hoping he would rebound but hasn't.

My forward line is as follows

bartel, Rockliff, J Kennedy, Cloke Buddy, Hawkins (Murdoch and Varcoe)

I'm worried Hawkins and Varcoe will drop $ like no tomorrow but with Steve j out for another week and no real down grade options I am unsure who to go for.

I also have the conundrum of Liberatore and Montagna. I'm thinking Liber has peaked and joey has lost his steam. Would it be better just to upgrade Liber to Selwood (geelong) and Joey up to pendles or fix my forward line?

I think you need to fix your fwds ASAP. Hawkins and Varcoe probably need to go and Buddy is a worry :(

Libba and Monty aren't too bad and you can afford to hold them a week or two. You have a solid amount of trades left and got handy money in the kitty.

What are your options if you wanna fix your forwards?

Thanks Jayman

Well if I upgrade hawkins to Walker it will leave me with $8,100 in the bank allowing me to up buddy to any top 10 forward bar Roughead and and Petrie (I already have Cox, Bartel, Rockliff and J Kennedy) Leaving me with Martin, Riewoldt who I am worried is tiring and Lewis.

They're all fairly inconsistent. Perhaps Robbie Gray for a POD, however I have been burned by his injury record before :s

Captain Pendles? I think so. Do you think so Jay?

Huge Dustin Martin fan. I think he is your best option :)

Good luck!

GAJ always. Going Griff VC into Gazza skip :)

Thanks Jayman, you've been a big help  ;D

I pulled the trigger so I am hoping it works out.

Good luck man!

Jon Ralph just said they haven't put a time frame on the injury but he should possibly be back in 1-2 weeks. That made the decision slightly easier. They also said Nic Nat is in doubt but the Eagles have not named a ruck emergency in the squad which I found interesting. I could play Rowe tonight to get certain points but with no named emergency that could replace him, you would have to go with Nic Nat

I tried to tell you...

[Vinny]

Which combo Jay ?

Pendles and Grimes
Barlow and Duffman
Walker and Ibbotson or Eski

Gonna have to say Walker and Eski. Ibbo is doing shower today :o still not convinced that Grimes and Duff are good options. Walker is going along brilliantly 8)

[Vinny]

Hmm interesting ! Thanks mate :)

I'll start a poll later aswell. Yeah I'm worried about Grimes and Duffman too.
