Can someone either give me the thumbs up or down on the following trades. Have only 7 trades left (and only $20k), so probably only 2 downgrades/upgrades left in me, leaving 3 trades for injuries.
Am thinking Wellingham>Ward, then Palmer>Harvey. Is it a waste seeing as I have only 2 UG's left, last one will go Reimers/Thommo>Rookie then upgrade Myers/SDT.

Yes or no??

BACKS: Shaw, Cornes, Gilbee, Newman, Ibbottson, SDT (Myers & Proud)
MIDS: Ablett, Bartel, Dal Santo, Kornes, Stevens, Palmer (Wellingham & Cotchin)
RUCKS: Cox, Simmonds (Hampson & Renouf)
FORWARDS: J Brown, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Franklin, ROK, S Johnson, Rioli (Reimers & N Thompson)
With three trade for injuries, pencil that in as one remaining because I'm planning for Cornes and Cox to be gone soon.

F@%*!

You think maybe freeing up the cash by downgrading Cox might be a better option? I've been considering it all week, as I think he's finished (score-wise at least). Could really roll the dice, downgrade him to a rookie, and set up a few upgrades with that cash alone. Or alternately, downgrade him to a decent ruckman, and use it for a single upgrade?
 
I have a very strong league. Currently sitting 6th (despite being ranked 2000th overall :eek:).

I have 8 trades left, however am playing the top side this week.

Without Bradshaw I would have to start Myers (if he gets named).

Is it worth doing the Bradshaw to McLeod trade this week?

If I can get the win this week, I should make top 4 as I have an easier run home.

Is McLeod a better long term option than Bradshaw come finals time?

McLeod plays Richmond, Essendon, Saints, Bulldogs throughout finals

Bradshaw plays Hawks, Dogs, Blues, Swans

Thoughts?

The thought of downgrading Cox has also crossed my mind, but to who? Not many reliable ruckman. Ottens could be an opton in a couple of weeks, but I was going to use him as an upgrade for Simmonds.

Cox has only been playing 65-70% game time the past 3-4 weeks. Would suggest all is not well and like C.Cornes, it appears not to be a matter if if they end season early, but when.
 
Wait till its confirmed that Cox will sit the rest of the season out.

RND 17/18. Thats when I trade him out for either Sandi/Ottens/White.
I agree, I'm just alerting people that three trades for injuries for the remaining 10 rounds may not be enough.
 
i'm thinking mcleod out for c.cornes...do u think mcleod will hit form anytime soon? or will he be destroyed by taggers every week? and do u think c. cornes will find some good form as well?

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I don't think McLeod even had a tagger against the Hawks. Was running free in 1st qtr, but did very little after that.

Still don't think he was tagged for rest of match, just faded out of it. Even if he was tagged it is very concerning as Hawks only genuine tagger is currently out injured :eek:

Anyone know who ran with McLeod on Saturday night?

Mcleod didn't train yesterday with the team.

yeah, the only problem is Cox's price is going to a massive hit in the next fortnight. Has a B/E of 197 this week, even scoring at 110 he will drop over $50k in the next 2 weeks. Maybe this week is the week to move him on.

I'm off to explore some replacements.

Whos your emergency big man?

Masten/Ebert. Cotchin has been my 6th mid for 2 weeks.

I was hoping to bring in Hodge this week but this may force me to hold off.

Or bring in Scott Thompson/Cooney and put Cotchin back on the bench.

____ it.
 
I've only got $45k in the bank.
11 trades left.
Coming 640 in the comp but would really like to get down another 200 or so.

Backs- Gram, Kennelly, Shaw, Gilbee, C. Cornes, Bradshaw, Newman
Bench- Myers, Proud.

Mids- Ablett, Dal Santo, Bartel, Stevens, Palmer, Cotchin
Bench- Geary, Valenti

Rucks- Cox, Simmonds
Bench- Kreuzer, Hampson

Fwds- J Brown, Pav, Roo, Aka, Buddy, Rioli, Porp
Bench- Tippett, Jetta

Not sure if I trade or save them.

OR would it be silly to do Tippet down and Geary to Osborne as 7th mid

Next week- Kreuzer down and Palmer to Hodge or similar?

Well this is just great :confused:

Dal Santo dropped
Mcleod = knee soreness?
Bradshaw
Mckinley
Cornes's finger
And is Kennelly O.K?

Need to start Cotchin or Armitage and Valenti/Mckinley if Bradhsaw is still out.

What a mix up
