Upgrade Goodes or play Staker instead?

Wondering whether I should upgrade Goodes to another defender (e.g. Hanley), or move Staker to defence and upgrade Goodes to a forward (e.g. Nroo)? Is Staker good enough to play out the rest of the season on the field?

Staker's got 3 100s in the a row? Why would you upgrade him this week?

Looking at Brissie draw I'm seriously considering just playing Staker
Port
Saints
Richmond
GWS
Bullies

Yeah I think he probably is good enough to have a spot on the field in defence. Over the past 3 weeks I reckon he has scored better than every other defender.

Upgrade Goodes for a forward. I am doing the same this week.

Staker now becomes the D6 that Goodes was supposed to be.

Yep low trades just means I play Staker instead for now.

I turned Goodes into Stevie J via Staker, worked out bloody fantastic!

What about Broughton which would create a link to Staker (currently in my fwd line) meaning I could play whichever has the better draw and still have decent cover in my fwd line to cover SJ's brain fades and NicNat & Buddy's injury issues.

It's against my religion to trade in Broughton.

Keep playing Staker. Still got cash to make and could reach high-$400k which at whic point you could sideways trade for the DEF de jour. This run of tons won't last

With only having 3 trades left, Im going to use Staker to cover Goodes for now.
110, 111 and 114 in his last 3 games. :)
I only picked him up for bench cover/downgrade and have only needed him for those 3 games.
If he can continue to score 85+ he will be D6 for rest of the season
