5 TRADES...where to use them?

[boneman]

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

$39,800 5 Trades

Finished top 4 in all leagues. With 5 trades left I feel I could pull the trigger on a premium. Was looking at:

PRIDDIS - WATSON
*With a high BE though it might be worth waiting till next week as he will drop more $$$. Great POD but worry about the ASADA findings and how this could impact on the club.

or...

GAWN - GRUNDY and then use the cash somewhere else???

For people with trades the swap to Watson next week is a no brainer.

With 5 trades left i'd actually be looking to use one of them to generate some cash, macaffer > x richards for example.   It gives you a nice purse to make sideways trades to 'super premos'

Have contemplated off loading Macaffer for a while. Is it better to trade him out or look at Gawn to make extra $$$?

Maybe this week do:
Macaffer-->McBean
Gawn-->Minson/Goldy
And sub Cox with McBean

Then Priddis-->Watson the week after should basically be a straight swap, may even make you money.
Leaves you with 2 trades that you can use for injuries/restings. If all goes well, maybe upgrade Rioli or JPK later in finals.

This could work...allows me to play Cox over Staker and sit a premium next to McEvoy.

Mmm :-\

So what are peoples thoughts on this move today?

It would however leave me with one extra premium in my forward line with Cox being moved FWD, so would be tossing up between Franklin and Rioli for the bench spot. Rioli could miss next week with the 'chicken wing' and the form he is in he might be worth off loading anyway.
