DOUBLE TRADES...worth it?

[boneman]

Def: Goddard, Heppel, Gibbs, Shaw, Hanley, McKenzie (Clisby, Thurlow)
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Barlow, Fyfe, Kennedy, Selwood, Cotchin, Priddis (Mitchell.T, Martin)
Ruck: McEvoy, Cox (Gawn, Nicholls)
Fwd: Franklin, Johnson, Martin, Rockliff, Kennedy, Staker (Macaffer, Naitanui)

$15,700 6 Trades

With limited cash what are the best moves to make before Wk 1 of the finals? Is it worth making a double trade to free up $$$ at this stage of the season? I would be looking at the Ruck (Nicholls) to do this.

Naitanui - Rioli
*The only real option price wise unless Cloke is worth rolling the dice on?

Similar position as me, 6 trades left.

You could do Nic Nat > Rioli (Staker to bench)
Thurlow > Oxley (earns cash plus DPP with Staker if need it)

Next week can use 2 trades to upgrade, ie possibly McEvoy to Minno or Priddis to Griff.

Leaves you 2 trades and a completed team

Mmm liking your thinking.

Rioli poses some risk but at the same time serious reward...cheap and has been solid in his games (not including the injury return ones).

If I did Thurlow - Oxley I would then have the $$$ to find a more consistent replacement for Naitanui such as a Walker or Bartel even. I do like the DPP option with Oxley too.

Mmmm decisions  :-\
