Gray -> Dusty?

Birchall is the other guy pressing for SC selection this week I think.

Vlastuin to Birchall but only if you want Birchall for sure.

All your guys look like they're still making money for you so no rush at all.

Obviously Kerridge is the other one to go.

I wonder whether you can find a cheap forward to save Kerridge's predicted drop. Ideally he doesn't get selected and then you can grab Walker and Daniher after their bye for Kerridge and Gray.

You could get Walker this week as you have cover anyway.

Probably don't need to trade anyone this week.

Cheers Ringo and Tor, much appreciated. You both have good ideas and make sense. I like it!

[Donnie Brasco]

Sorry boys, I forgot to make it clear that I have Tom Mitchell, and not Sammy, in my mids... does that drastically change things, what are your thoughts? Thanks guys.

Realised it was T Mitchell

As per my post Upgrade Gray to a mid prem in due course. Mitchell if he maintains form is good enough to either play as M8 or sit at M9 with the option of paying Vlas over him if going with my suggestions. With Vlas there and he is stinking it up could bring Gibbs or Goddard in and play Vlas in defence as well. Plenty of options if you utilise the DPP.

Ha ha, all good. Thanks again mate.

Would I be silly to bring in Oxley for Docherty?

[Ringo]

Not necessary this week unless you need cash for upgrades, Probably if named as sub would consider but not really necessary.  Another option to consider is Birchall to Lamb or Sphanger via Staker. And your choice of  Vlas, Goodes or Docherty to a prem you can afford, 

[Donnie Brasco]

Cheers Ringo, I ended up going:

Birchall > Lamb
Goodes > Shaw

Leaving me with 6 trades and $243,000. I stuffed up, trading Goodes and forgot that you couldn't reverse because of Thursday night's game.

:-[

[Ringo]

Shaw will not let you down and 78 from Lamb is reasonable if he was emergency only. Got caught earlier in the year with no reverse trades so each week now just play around early in the week and reverse trades but then only do any trades involving the first teams prior to lockout.

Very sound trades mate, I'd do it straightaway, then leave that team as you'll need 4 trades for LTI's between now and finals.
I'd do Kerridge to Oxley, giving you the DPP between defence and forward, then get Bartel giving you that DPP between Mids and Fwds which will become extremely important come the end of the season. Gray can be M9 and F6 depending on the situation, and I like that. You'll also have $160,000 in the bank for luxury trades if you go well with injuries! Mitchell to Griffen or Vlas to Heppell/Ibbo, your choice. Well done mate, hope that makes sense :)

[Donnie Brasco]

Cheers Wato, I can't think of any better options, but of course now Docherty is a worry...

Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated (calling my old mate Ringo ha ha)

[Ringo]

You really do not have to trade at all unless something unforseen happens with team announcements. Lamb should cover Johnson and  Staker could cover Vlas if required.

Martin has a B/e of 11 so will rise in value for next week.

If Lamb not named or named as sub I would consider Kerridge to Bartel. Walker or even Tippett.Would complete your forward line leaving bench as Gray and Lamb when Johnson finishes suspension.

Would then look at Martin to a prem defender via Vlas and downgrading Nichols to McBean to give DPP to rucks as well.

Thanks again Ringo, ended up completing my forward line. Shame about Watson, can't keep a player for 6 weeks!

[Mat0369]

You don't have a lot of cash or trades which is a slight problem. You either need to trade Watson to a cheaper premium or downgrade Vlas, run with Staker as D6 and upgrade Watson to Griffen. It is risky doing the second option as you will need to use 2 trades. The other option I can see is to shifty Stevie J into the middle, play Gray and downgrade Watson for cash so that way you upgrade Vlas closer to finals
