Keep the team as is or switch it up?

Hi all

Like many I've been hit by the Berger problem, but I'm actually quite tempted to leave my team how it is...

Here is the structure:
M:GAJ, Swan, Pendles, JPK, Mundy, Wines, K.Mitchell, O'Meara, (Crouch, Viney)
R: Jacobs, Berger (Rowe, Currie)
F: Buddy, Cox, Rockliff, JJK, Varcoe, Karnezis (Byrnes, Macaffer)

I wont be changing my defence at all, bold guys have already played. The option I'm considering is going Swan > Murphy, Byrnes > Neade and Berger to Goldstein. However, I'm also tempted to ride out this round, use Rowe/Cox to shift Rowe into my Rucks and put Berger on the bench, and then leave the team as it is. If Rowe gets time for Carlton he won't be a bad bench option for the forwards, and I would still have either Byrnes or Macaffer on the bench anyway. Then if Berger starts round 3/4 ish I'm not too badly off. If I wait I would at least see if he gets named round 2.

Thoughts? Switches as planned (no trades burned) or take the risk and leave Berger in?

I'd change one or two of your mid pricers in the forwards to rookies and upgrade to McEvoy or the mullet. I honestly think Byrnes won't see much of it in the forward line at Melbourne.
So yeah I think your first option seems best. Though Goldy will be a risk, could pay off because he does shine as the number 1 ruckman

I heard Neeld talk about Byrnes playing up the ground a bit on SEN this morning.

But then again, they're all playing mid this year aren't they!
