My team is finished.
Back: Goddard, Shaw, Heppell, Gibbs, Birchall, Hanley (Goodes, Sierakwoski)
Mid: Ablett, Swan, Pendles, Watson, Jack, Cotchin, Priddis, Jelwood (Mitchell, Martin)
Ruck: Nic Nat, Mcevoy (Mcbean, Nicholls)
Forward: Cox, Buddy, Rocky, Martin, Stevey j, Bartel (Staker, Lamb)
I have 178k left over with 6 trades left. Now to my point.
Do i trade underperforming players like cotchin, mcevoy, priddis to top players like Danger, Minson/goldy and Jpk? Or do i upgrade staker to Nroo to give me good bench coverage for the season?

With a team as good and as complete as yours, I would sit tight and hold those precious trades. Im sure players like Cotch are ought to turn it around :)

Flower me that is a good looking team, I nearly can't fault it.
And yes wait on trades as Vinny said, as they are precious and the longer you wait the more you find out who's travelling well and what not and your decisions becomes easier and clearer come finals time than they will be now.
eg. (Cotch's from turns around remarkably, but you traded him to Danger this week but Danger then gets injured in four weeks and is out for the season) and you kick yourself for making the trade.
Nroo is way to much money on the bench at this stage so just sit tight mate :)

Johnson will get suspended so bringing in a better F7 is needed

I'd be waiting for Thursday ins/outs and then reassess. I didn't get a look at McEvoy this week but obviously his concussion took him out for almost half a game. Not sure SJ will get weeks but if he doesn't I would turn a mooing Mitchell/Martin into a premo benchy come finals.

I'd just hold on trades with that team, and wait until 'stuff' happens before you trade. If you get through to about Round 17 without having used any of those trades then maybe start to look at pre-emptive bench back-up.

What is important here is that you have $178k. It means when 'stuff' happens you have an open cheque book and pretty much do what you like. Having that sort of flexibility is your real asset!
