crows/blues in round 22 is in melbourne if that helps your decision.
Definitely option #2. SJ > ROK. The trade and cash will be gold next week. Chappy first game back is a risk, at any rate.
Cross > Swan.
OK guys, 2 trades, $46k. Playing a team that is better than mine IMO, so need to pull something out of the hat. Am an agonizing $1,000 short of SJ > Neon, and $6k short of SJ > ROK. Could blow the other trade to free up that cash, but dunno if that's wise.
The best options for $384k seem to be :
1) Higgins (ave: 90) (last 5- 64*, 119, 79, 105, 70)
2) Fevola (ave: 90) (last 5- 131, 142, 100, 34, 112)
Current FWD line:
Riewoldt, Deledio, Didak, Pavlich, Franklin, Goodwin, SJ.

Would you go Grimes ---> Scotland and SJ ---> ROK
Or Grimes ---> Mackie and SJ ---> Gian
Or just Grimes ---> Mackie and play Ballantyne.
2 trades left, thinking I might as well use them as I have plenty of cover.

Adelaide have WCE this week so Goodwin could be an option too but I don't like Carlton in Rd 22. I personally like Hawthorns run Home so if you really wanna take a risk and pull one out of the hat McGlynn has had 2 tons in last two weeks with 3 game average of 110. He would be my choice especially with one more trade for you it keeps 50k in bank for that one.
Late edit: Im an idiot. Didn't see you already had Goodwin. Sorry.
Definately Option #1 IMO.
Gians returning from injury so not sure how he will go. Might get limited ToG to get fitness up and not risk him before finals.
So Scotland /ROK looks like a good choice
Can definitely narrow it down to Buddy or Pavlich.
Pavlich I think is safer but Hawthorn have great run home and I would back Buddy in for 2 decent scores.
Looking to finally trade out Adcock. I can afford any defender and the rest of my backline includes:
Goddard, Fisher, Mackie, Enright, Cornes, Broughton (Pearce and Grimes)
Who would be the best option to trade to? I was thinking Lockyer but he plays Sydney this week.

Why trade Adcock now he is most likely returning next week
My prelim games are must wins and Adcock is no certainity to return by next week. Brisbane may not want to rush him back too early.

Trade out Grimes instead of Adcock - from all reports Adcock will play next week and Brisbane have motivation to have him in the team (i.e prep for finals.
I can't see Melbourne dusting off an injury prone rookie for one game they don't want to win anyway!

Backline ATM is: Chornes, Goddard, Fisher, Gram, S. McMahon, Dawson, H. Taylor EMG: Grimes, Ryder.
Could get someone like Lockyer? Or you reckon Enright would certainly be better?
The Falcon Strike

FWIW - barring some crazy withdrawal from tonight's game - Going with my gut and bringing in McGlynn and Goddard for SJ and Grimes

My team for the week is:
B: Chornes - Fisher - Gram - H. Taylor
HB: Goddard - S. McMahon - Dawson
C: Ablett - Corey - R. Shaw - Anthony
HF: J. Hill - B. Fevola - R. Nahas
FF: C. Rioli - N. Riewoldt - C. Wilson
RU: Jolly - White - Rich - Swan
Do people reckon I should just do no trades? Is that a good enough team to get 2k+? Or should I upgrade Dawson?

Good minds hopefully think alike, i went with Mitch Brown - Chappman and SJ - McGlynn, hope it pays off leaves me with no trades left and Callum Wilson as my 7th back with Grimes on the bench, hopefully he comes back...
I was going to go Riewoldt and Lockyer, just think Chappy will pull out a monster next week assuming i get through the Granny....

Just waved goodbye to my last 2 trades. Hopefully I don't regret making both of them this week.
crooklyn dodgers. m'k?
Draftee
my last 2 trades
a) grimes to rookie (doesn't matter, i have cover)
mitch brown to riewoldt
i would cop a 0 and stevie J would be on my bench. he could come back in for the GF (is this likely?)
b) stevie j to riewoldt
mitch brown to hentschell
hence no donuts
bear in my mind my opponent has 2 donuts already. i'm prolly a 65% chance to win
thoughts?

7 hours later I downtraded Rich and could afford any forward.
For 3 weeks I had planned to bring in Didak. JB, Neo and even BJ were options.
I brought in Chapman. EPIC FAIL.
May have cost me $1K.

Who else has the luxury of two trades this week? I decided against trading going in unchanged and won my Preliminary by 2 points!!! Chappy will be gone for me definitely but depending on who gets up can bring in whoever i want. Seems like a bit of a lottery really...
No trades for me left, but no real concerns. Have backup in all positions.
One trade left, GF week.
Was considering my options and was going to either trade an injured backman or upgrade Anthony, but with Anthony ripping it up I decided the back option was the way to go.
Depending on who is named I will trade one of Ellis, Grimes or Cheney to anyone except Embley (if I trade Cheney) because I have 142,000 in the bank.
So because I already have Goddard, Hodge and Fisher who should I get? Lockyer, Enright, Gram, Carazzo and Duffield are at the top of my list.

This is the lottery i speak of. Sure you can make calculated guesses about how they will match up on their opponents but i consider it 90% luck as to who will be the best scorer. For me i'd weigh up who is least likely to score well out of the three you want to get rid of, then who is most likely to score the most (which is more difficult). Either way so long as the player you trade in scores more than the player traded out, it can be viewed as a win.
Yes I am finding it very difficult.
Well it will be an obvious choice of who to trade depending on who is named. If Grimes is named I trade Ellis, if Ellis is named I trade Grimes and if both are named I trade Cheney.
Of who to trade in I want to sort of stay away from Duffield and Enright because I already have 5 players in that game.
I already have three blues and four saints so Gram and Carazzo have downsides.
Lockyer has the biggest positives going for him as I only have one Pie and one Dog, plus my opponent has him. Going with that I could go with Hargrave or Lake with a similar frame of mind.
