Trade Plan
Rd7:  J. Merrett -> L. Parket and L. Dunstan -> J. Watson
            Cash remaining: 230k

Rd8: S. Hampson -> B. McEvoy

I think I'm sitting okay at the moment. Had two weeks of double downgrades so plenty of cash to spend this week. Thinking of bringing in Watson to help out with the Rd. 8 bye and to move Dunstan along as he's starting to cost me league wins. J. Merrett also is starting to cost me and won't gain anymore so I'll grab Parker while I can.

This will likely be the last round with Hampson and then I'll trade him for McEvoy or Nic Nat if West Coast drops the third ruck. Will also look to upgrade Suckling to Mitchell or McDonald to Hanley.

As far as my premo choices have gone, the only one I'm not happy with is Birchall but I'm stuck with until the rest of my team is complete.

Rd. 9/10 I'll be looking to grab Selwood somehow.

Michie is stranded on my bench but bigger problems at the moment.

       L.McDonald -> P. Hanley

Cash remaining: $144,500

Currently ranked 1625 overall but I've traded hard with 20 left going into Rd 8. I'll definitely use one this round to move Hampson along and also considering grabbing Acres which should give me $150k next round to grab another premium midfielder.

The main spots I want to fill are Thomas, Crouch and McDonald. Suckling, Higgins, Fasolo and Polec are holding up well at this stage and they'll be the last to go. Should be able to get rid of Daisy next round and bring in Jelwood and then I'll work on getting Hibberd for the round after.

Leaves four spots to fill after rd. 10.

Did the math, will need another 9 trades to finish the team so I'll have 8 left over for injuries and sideways trades as they come.

Trades next round look like being:

Polec -> Selwood
Langford -> Aylett
Thomas -> a premo with a rd 8 or 10 bye, possibly Fyfe
or
Higgins -> a FWD premo with a rd 8 or 10 bye

I never expected to be ranked this high after a horrid start so I suppose I'm going to have a serious crack at overall. This week I'll clear two donuts by bringing in Selwood for Polec and Langford.

I'm not sure whether I should rush to get a full team as quickly as I can, even if that means taking punts on "maybe" players like Dal Santo or Callan Ward, or should stick to the original plan and hope I don't slip behind too far while I take some extra time to finish the team.

I can trade out Suckling or Higgins for respective premiums at the moment also, but these two are among the least of my worries and were planned to be the last ones traded out.

What to do?

Team as of Rd. 12



Currently ranked 307. I'm 700 points off the leader so winning is out of the question but I still want to get a high finish for a change

Definitely going to trade Fasolo to Buddy this round. Also weighing up whether to trade JKH for Shenton. Suckling and Higgins will be around for a while longer and I can probably sideways both of them out later on.

Thoughts?

I would do JKH to Shenton and Fas to Gray if you want to trade this week but imo you can hold team for a week.  Only issue would be how much will Shenton rise so maybe just JKH to Shenton and sit on cash to upgrade as rooks fatten up.
