So i'm back again 
My team is linked ----->
I have 240k in the bank and need to trade Bartel out. I can swing Gray back to the forward line, so i can get any midfielder or forward.
Who would be your go to player to bring in at this stage? Sloane, JPK, Hannebery, Watson, The Bont or someone else i don't have?
Secondary question. I also have McGrath in the forward line and Anderson in the midfield. Would it be wise to trade in Gregson (154k and B/E -48) for Anderson or hold? Or maybe Krakouer for McGrath 1 week early or hold?

Anderson to Gregson is probably less than a 50/50, and I would delay that trade.

Rowsus,
I'm normally all about league but I am ~1200th overall and want to push on and see how high I can get overall.
I have had to rid Ablett, Rocky & also binned Goodes after Rd1.
I now also have Bartel to deal with but have all the rookies I need (I missed Lang tho).
My trade thoughts are Bartel & Salem/Sheed/Anderson out for Motlop & Jack Martin.
I could also potentially get a mid premo in but I am not sure what to do with the other trade then. I have $120k currently.

Hey Rowsus,
http://supercoach.heraldsun.com.au/other_teams/?tid=3788
Strong doubts over my trade plans this week
I have a few options
1. For maximum point generation : Mumford+Wines>Fyfe+Goldstein (40% will go with this)
2. For cash generation and better asset at my disposal during the upgrade/downgrade stage: Wines>Cripps, Anderson>Greyson/Tarrant/Kelly (15% chance)
3. A more balanced approach: Wines>Cripps, Anderson>Smith/Franklin/Motlop/Watson/Murphy (45% chance)
Slightly favouring 3 over 1, think I have too many non-playing rookies in def, mid, fwd atm, thoughts?
Cheers
Prochard

Shaahorn, going to Motlop and JMart would probably define your season.
You either lock in one or two cheap POD Keepers, or set of a chain of regrettable events.
Individually I don't mind them as a risk, as a pair, it is probably a step too far. It's too early for desperate Hail Mary shots at climbing the ladder. Looking at it, you are trading out one player that was expected be top 4 in his position, and bringing in 2 players you are hoping will be top 8 or 10 in the same position. Too risky, given your position and goal. I'd try and turn Bartel into a safer Keeper you are happy to have in your team, or if you are really set on a POD, pick just one of those two.
Edit - only 2.2% of us found Lang! - he's no must have though!

I remember looking at your team after Round 1, and being a little surprised at some of your Rookies. I really think you need to start a correction process there, this week, so that would exclude option 1.
The main job of the Rookies is to make money, their second job is score points, their third job is to provide cover. That being the case, I don't think Cripps is your best option. You already have Sinclair, so I would bring in Gregson instead of Cripps. It costs you less, and potentially makes you the same amount. I wouldn't go to option 2, as you risk bringing in another dud Rookie, I think you need to wait for the bubble.
That leaves option 3 with Gregson instead of Cripps for me. As to the second trade, it depends on if you want force a POD, or play it safer.

Hi Zim,
in a situation like this, I think you need to forget what he was, and look at what he is.
You can look back, and say WOW! He went up $75k last week, and I missed it, while nearly everyone else got it!
Or
You can look at what he has become. He is a player under $200k, who has the best B/E in the competition (-94), and has scored 116 and 97 in his last 2 games.
If you didn't know anything about Rounds 1 and 2, and were just entering the competition now, would you even hesitate in trading him in? Of course not! So no, it is nowhere near too late to get him!
As to Griffen. Damned if you do, and damned if you don't. If you are really in doubt as to keep him, or chop him, I think you have to keep him. Siding on the decision that doesn't burn a trade is the best idea, if you really can't decide. Having said that, you could easily decide, nope, enough's enough, out you go. I would temper it by saying you'd need to find a suitable replacement, or Cash him out to a Rookie, don't sideways him to a speculative pick!
..... of course, you could always: Griffen out, Saad up to Mids, Oxley in!

Hi Rowsus, me again!
Thanks a lot for your help so far.
I was just wondering whether you believe that it is worth culling Griffen to either Sloane/Lewis/Selwood/Lewis. I can afford any of these players with cash in the bank.
If so, how would you order these 4 in terms of the best trade-in target for this week. I also plan to pick up one of them next week.
Thanks

Hi HoM?
I consider it a bit of a luxury trade, and not something has to be done. While I don't believe Griffen will be the cheap 110 player his Coaches were hoping for, I also don't believe he will lose much Cash, so in that regard, he's not a must fix now proposition.
Still, I can understand Coaches wanting to drop off him. If you decide to jump, my order would be:
Selwood - he burns against Nth, working backwards he has scored 148(SF), 148, 113, 103, 140, 140 - WOW!
Sloane - Only injury will stop him being a top 8 Mid
Lewis - coming off a spike year, way less likely than the other 2 to be top 8
and last of all
Lewis - I don't like Hawthorn Mids!
Good luck, I hope you jump the right way!

Hey Row
Is it better trade in a FD for Goodes instead of N Brown? At least Brown is playing but his scores are similar to Goodes when he's the sub. The remaining cash can be used to upgrade McGrath to the Bont leaving me with around 100k in the kitty.
Edit:
Now that Goodes has been omitted by the dogs he can be this weeks FD down back but now the question remains who replaces McGrath. I can only reach to 397k which doesn't get anybody proven. I could go early on Krakouer or get J Martin who has avg 94 but is still not proven. I feel like my gut is telling me to stick with the original plan and get the Bont. It will negate a lot of teams who have him and I won't miss is decent price rise coming up if he goes well again this week.
Thanks minidee

Hey minidee,
right now, the Bont isn't a must have, but if you think you want him, or he will become a must have, then this is the week to get him. I'd just keep my 2nd trade for now, unless you are facing a donut, and have a good solution to it.
If you trade down to a FD in the coming weeks, I'd use Goodes and not Brown. Trading Brown out won't represent much value. He was chosen because you wanted at least one Rookie on your Def bench you were confident would be there when you need cover. He was really chosen as a Keeper, though not in the usual sense.

Thanks for the quick response Rowsus. After re-reading my original question I remembered why I got such a low score in VCE english. LOL! What I should have have asked was do I trade in a FD or N Brown and trade out Goodes? I fall just short of reaching the Bont from McGrath so the Goodes trade helps me get there. Also I have Gray in my forward line along with Lonie who I don't have too much confidence with for cover.
Thanks again
Thanks again
Hey Pro,
I'd be Wines to Sloane. Lower ownership, and usually plays more games than Fyfe.
Given the number of non-playing Rookies you've got, I would probably go Gregson. I must admit Mumford to Goldstein would seem to be a headache saver, but I'm just worried you might have bigger headaches if you run out of cash producing Rookies. I guess you could always go Goldy this week, and make 3 of your next 4 trades to bubble boys.
