Interesting .....do you think you would still have done the trade, if you weren't ranked as high as you are ?
Always wanted to trade Heppell, but after copping a few injuries and forced trades, I figured I'd just keep him. But this injury is tricky, I reckon it'll be more than 1 week. "hopefully" doesn't fill me with confidence. I'm betting on it being more than a week. The rank did also play a part, I don't trust my rookies, they're very up and down. Less trades might hurt my rank in the long run, but we have to take risks.Interesting .....do you think you would still have done the trade, if you weren't ranked as high as you are ?
Or are you presuming Heppell will be out longer than the indicated 1 week
Agree .....last week I played the game as it should be played ...Neale and Docherty out, so play my bench players to conserve tradesAlways wanted to trade Heppell, but after copping a few injuries and forced trades, I figured I'd just keep him.

Next week if I really want to conserve a trade, I can turn McKay into somebody around $450k (any line). Otherwise I'll stick to the 1 up/1 down and get a genuine stud in the middle like Oliver for the run home.
Evening Kentleman,
Would really appreciate some advice please! I have 5 trades and 88k.
Thinking CCJ-102k Mid/Fwd
Weightman-Danger. Leaves me no bench cover for a while which is concerning but worried if I don't get Danger this week I never will.
Any advice would be outstanding!
Thank you so much in advance community
Essendon have a history of one week injuries becoming four. I wouldn’t be confident Heppell comes back next week. I’d hate to own him right now and decide what to do
No Ginnivian ☹ So Will Kelly or Jeka people?
Highmore to any mid or defender at 456k .... Haynes?

Evening Lads,
Any other ideas i'm missing here, thinking with 8 trades (prior to these), that I have the trades to move on Heeney. Losing by M/F DPP link here, but was hoping to get a M/F link through moving Bianco on one of the MIDs. Any other thoughts or inputs appreciated. 11.8K Cash FYI.
Cheers.

I'm $400 short of CCJ + Waterman to J.Edwards + Marshall
but I don't know if I want to do that trade anyway. I can't afford to have more perma donuts, as I already have A.Fyfe, plus I'm carrying Briggs and FinMac
It's probably better to just keep CCJ at R3, hope he gets some more games, and then trade Waterman and Weightman to a rookie and Marshall
which rookie is the question... DPP is important, so ideally it's a DEF/FWD like Worrell to open up that swing. Otherwise it has to be FWD only or a MID/FWD rookie (to keep the MID/FWD swing open)
so at this stage I have two options...
option 1:
-Waterman to a FWD, MID/FWD or DEF/FWD rookie
-Weightman to Marshall
option 2:
-no trades
Wait a week to bring Marshall in (his BE is 88, so he won't rise much), and to see if any rookies pop up
If Waterman is dropped, I might be able to loophole Weightman and McKay at F6, depending on the fixtures, then I can just wait a week to bring Marshall in
stevebbb did you hold Waterman in the end?I posted a few weeks back that Waterman would struggle to score in games against the top side on the ladder and Cats in Geelong. Essendon has a better run of games coming up and it wouldn't surprise me if he puts in a couple of decent scores.
Anyone else you can cull that has maxed out?
Likely to kick a couple in the 2nd half. 80 incomingYep. Every cent counts! Hopefully finishes on 80+ and makes some coin
Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback. Yes, would have to cash to do the trades you suggestedYou have plenty of trades but f'all cash gen. How you you plan on upgrading your M8?
It's also difficult to work out/give alternative trade advice when you post your team with trades already made.
Personally I'd be doing something like CCJ > Ginnivan & Madden > JDG (if funds allow, I can't be arsed trying to work out if you would have the cash) you would then have no rookies on-field and sitting pretty with 6 injury trades.
Thanks for your input mate. Dont know anything about Jeka. Can also afford Will Kelly but once again I've never heard of him.I give it my tick of approval.
Do you need to go all the way down to a $102K rookie though? Jeka ($123K) named and on the bubble, could get a run of games. Or Lynch could be worth a crack too.
If you do need to get a $102K, not sure if a M/F is going to provide a heap of benefit to you...I'd choose the player who might be a chance of getting a couple of games. That could be Ginivan, Callow, Saunders in that order. Ginivan happens to be M/F anyway.
