How do I use my last trade?

[RaisyDaisy]

1 trade left with $41,900

Finished Top 4 in all leagues so have the double chance, but obviously want to really win this week and go straight to the Prelims (and money!)

McVeigh, Swallow, Simpson, Enright, Jaensch, B.Martin (Hibberd, Battersby)

Pendles, Jelwood, Fyfe, Beams, Libba, Ward, Priddis, Stevie J (Shenton, Acres)

Sandi, Mumford (Thurlow, King)

Danger, Dusty, Gray, Zorko, Pav, S.Martin (Kersten, Cameron)

Now obviously Hibberd to Bartel is the obvious choice, but I have Brodie Martin and he has been scoring well enough for a D6 defender over the past month

I have no mid coverage, but Shenton's DPP does allow me to switch him if need be, resulting in fielding Kersten or Cameron

The options I see are

1) Hibberd to Bartel
2) Pav to Caddy
3) Stevie J to JPK
4) Hold

I know options 2 and 3 seem silly, but considering their opposition this week, and Pav's concussion I thought I would put them out there and see what people think

Any other ideas I am not seeing?

Hold you will need it later

[RaisyDaisy]

I forgot the mention, If I hold, then there is every chance I wont be able to afford Bartel next week. I have to get him this week if I do the Hibberd trade

Hold mate, you never know what's going to happen!

Kind of comes down to how well u think Bartel will go over next month. He is so unpredictable. He could score 130 or 70. I would feel very uncomfortable using my last trade in ur positon, given how injuries/suspensions can go.

As u have a double chance I would hold and if necessary look at who else u can bring in that will score well enough. Hibberd might come back and u can use the trade on avoiding a donut if u have to.

I wouldn't even consider the other 2 trades unless maybe if Pav is a late out.

Solid Side...

As you well know coach, expect the unexpected..

HOLD TRADE !!

[RaisyDaisy]

It's unanimous, I'll hold :)

Thanks for the feedback lads. If I get a late out, say Pav etc then I might use it, but for the meantime I will just bench Hibberd and field Martin

[Ramus]

Yep, there is no glaring improvement from one trade, keep it for later, it will most likely save a donut.

[HotTiges]

bit like me mate, tempting to trade but hold I think.. nice looking side!

[RaisyDaisy]

Solid Side...

nice looking side!

Cheers guys, although I really wish I had Parker instead of Pav

I don't have Rocky or JPK, but besides those 2, the 8 I have are the other 8 top averaging mids so happy with that, especially with POD's

Bartel into the side looks great on paper, but I don't think he will score much more than Martin so I'll keep the trade

I see it like my socks - holed.

[Hagebear]

Definitely hold. It will be ur best friend over the coming weeks!!
