Hey Rowsus,
Need some help please how I can now beat this guy. I have two trades left still. Pretty sure he now has none. Decided not to get Cloke etc. like you recommended and just see what he does.
He decided to match me with Griffen. What do you think I should do now?

Your help is appreciated
These tables don't take Captains or loopholes into account.
To be honest, it doesn't look like you need much help to win this now!
Before Friday nights games,
RAMP had you winning by 41, and
SC Gold by 132.
After Friday nights games,
RAMP has you winning by 144, and
SC Gold by 193!
If the game had been close, I would have suggested using your 2 trades to turn Deledio into Liberatore. As it stands now, I would advise against it!
Why? Well I am confident that Liberatore will outscore Deledio, but while you hold such a great advantage now, you'd be crazy to open the door for your opponent. The less POD's you have from here, the less chances your opponent has of picking you off! If you get your V and/or C half right, you should be home! If you can copy your opponents V and C, without falling for a bluff (ie if they put the V on Gibbs for example) all the better!
If you're still keen to trade, to try and really ram home the victory, I suggest you do it in Defence. You are less likely to give up a big difference there, so opening a door there is less risky.
I'm assuming you have around $2,200 in the bank.
Maybe you could do: Clisby and Staker to Murphy R and any Bulldogs donut, Prudden for example.
This allows you to play Murphy, and loophole McKenzie with Hanley or Gibbs.
Pretty much, outside of complete bad luck with your Captain picks, this is now yours to lose.
As a side note, I'd V Selwood, and C Minson.
Good luck!
