Before finals help - ? Grimes, ? Rockliff

Hi all,

Got plenty of trades (8) and trying to figure out where to go in the next 3 weeks. 29K bank

This is my team:

B: God, Hibberd, Hanley, Shaw, Gibbs, Goodes,  (Birchall, Pitt)

M: Pendle, Ablett, Swan, Selwood, Cotchin, Priddis, SJ, T. Mitch (Hutchings, Kmartin)

R: Maric, Nicholls  (Blicavs, Rowe)

F: Bartel, Cox, Dusty, NRoo, JJK, Franklin  (Staker, TLee)

My current plan is downgrade Blicavs this week, and upgrade Hutchings to JPK/Barlow/Danger/Griffen on finals eve, and maric and/or Nicholls to Minson/Goldy depending on how each goes in the next few weeks. This will leave me with 4-5 trades come finals.

Other ideas I am trying to resist is 'luxury trades' such as finding a spot for Ibbo/heppell/grimes (is holding Birchall for POD a decent idea?) and rocky/walker - thinking some of the fwds (namely buddy, ?cox, confident in Nroo 85-100 lock a week) could be fine tuned.

Reckon Ibbo and rocky could be finals winners with their draw, especially given rocky price atm.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Sorry thats meant to be 8 trades

Blicavs-->McBean
Then if Buddy is out again this week, Buddy-->Barlow/Jack/etc via SJ DPP

Then once Pittard has maxed out, downgrade him to Oxley, and upgrade Hutchings or Kmart to another mid. Leaves you with 4 trades, and a full team (Although Nicholls would be R2, but he's doing better than most premos. Maybe turn him into Minson/Goldy during finals). Pretty sure cash should allow this. Hope it helps  :)

Trade Birchall!!! with plenty of trades, and birchall out for 3 more, hes got to go, for ibbotson maybe?

upgrading your midfield is also a good idea as Tmitch should be bench cover come finals time

Thanks for the SJ DPP suggestion, completely missed that!
