I want to bring in Priddis this week for Wines but also need to start upgrading my defence. Any advice??

[Ringo]

Just a personal opinion at the moment - Backs are to up and down atm to work out who will be the six keepers. With 24 trades you can afford to wait as well.

Goodes and Vlaustin are scoring as well as prems so no real need to fix.  Maybe look at Stevenson/Heath to Thurlow next week for cash.

Both Neade and McAffer are nearing or reached their ceiling so maybe is the time to look at cashing them in as well.

Wines to Priddis will be the popular trade of the week.

[vtaced]

Thanks Ringo. This week I'm thinking of making two downgrades. Stevenson to Thurlow and Heath to Webster.

This will give me $500k and 20 trades left for the rest of the season. Still waiting to hear the word of Thomas.

Thoughts?

Must ditch daisy now.  Go stevo + daisy > thurlow + Nic Nat.
Next week, cut away heath, send staker to def for B kennedy (who has ok JS) and upgrade mayes to SJ if you can afford it.

I'm thinking of trading out O'Meara for Watson. Good move?

What to do next??

[Ringo]

O Meara to Watson is good as you do not have the Round 13 bye mid exposure that some have.

Next move and this is dependent on your thoughts on Jacobs is Trade Jacobs to a forward prem you can afford moving Cox or Nat inot ruck.

Thinking of making 3 trades this week, which will give me 15 left and 40K in the bank

1. Terlich for Birchall
2. Viney for Mitchell
3. M.Jones for Swan

I also still need to trade out Stevenson. Any advice guys?

[Ringo]

With Mitchell still not on the bubble I would leave that trade.

As a suggestion Trade Stevenson to Burbury via Staker this week. Just ensure he is named Has a negative break even and will make cash.

[vtaced]

Thanks Ringo. I ended up taking Mitchell last week, which quietly I'm very happy about!

This is my team changes this week. I'm thinking of making 3 trades this week to set me up for the coming weeks.

M: Ablett, Pendlebury, Swan, Cotchin, JPKennedy, Mundy, Priddis, T.Mitchell (Crouch , Hrovat )
R: Cox, Jacobs (Nicholls, Gorringe)
F: Franklin, S.Johnson, NicNat, Rockliff, Lecras, Macaffer (Staker, Rowe)

1.) Birchall for Terlich
2.) Hrovat for O'Meara
3.) Nicholls for Currie

This will leave me with 13 trades and $330k to make upgrades as I need to.

Thoughts/Advice?

[Ringo]

Looks good

Gorringe, Stevenson and Le Cras are players I would look at for upgrades in future weeks,  Jacobs is not firing at the moment either,

You are in a good position with 13 trades and cash to finalise team quickly.

13 trades left, with $330k in the bank. What would you do?

I'm thinking of trading maccaffer for Bartel. Any downgrade targets for Stevenson?

[Ringo]

Downgrade Target for Stevenson could be Blayne Wilson if named.

I would be tempted to go McAffer to Goldstein returning Cox to Forwards

Then I would look at (not necessarily this week)
Le Cras to Daniher
Gorringe to Bartel or prem forward of your choice.
Returns Rowe to DPP gives you rucks of Goldstein, Jacobs, Nichols, Rowe with Nat and Cox available via Rowe.

[vtaced]

You're a gun Ringo. Cheers

Using two trades this week
1.) Maccaffer to Daniher
2.) Birchall to Shaw

This will leave me with 9 trades and $180k in the bank. Good moves? Any other suggestions?
