I think most will say preserve trades and grab Harbrow but thought I’d put it out there anyway.
4 trades and 65k left means limited options when trading Vlas (Harbrow, Pearce) seem the best bets as i’m just shy of Hartlett/Terlich types.
Do I dare use a second trade on Webster-Oxley meaning I can then open up DPP with Staker/Oxley being able to switch which would be great for any STI’s. Leaves me with enough to then take a McKenzie instead of Harbrow who could be 10 PPG better.
Currently:
Goddard, Gibbs, Hanley, Shaw, Heppell, Vlas (Clisby, Webster)
Ablett, Pendles, Swan, Danger, Selwood, Cotchin, JPK, Fyfe (Mitchell, Martin)
Minson, Luey (Nicholls, Hannath)
Bartel, Cox, SJ, Naita, Rockliff, Buddy (Staker, Hitchcock)
Scored a 2430 odd last week and currently sitting 200th so keen to go for broke from here.
So essentially 3 trades and Cannon + Staker DPP vs 4 trades with Harbrow? DPP is a nice little bonus w/ getting the cannon.

Out Watson In Stevie J, which will make midfield set except for possibly Sloane. Backline is fine for now getting in Pearce 3 weeks ago and Staker/Goodes looking like a good D6 combo with Colquhoun as a floating donut and if Sumner can get dropped i have Gray as back up to LeCras (unfortunately Grays 120 was on the pine this week 
)

IWR, I'm with you there is no way I would be bringing Grimes at this stage. I brought him in for Gibbs and Grimes was on the field for ten minutes then we all know what happened next.
I think if you still have hopes of getting inside top 100 or better I think the 2 trade option is the way to go. No guts no glory right.
I reckon you should also look into SDT also for around the same price as McKenzie.

I think the best starting point is to identify who is tradeable, and how tradeable are they.
Defs
Staker - $330,600, B/E 16 - probably the last to be traded, if at all.
Duffield - $426,700, B/E 133 - unsure when he's back, or how good he is. Very tradeable for Coaches with 5+ trades left.
Saunders - $134,400, B/E -12 - too low in price to be much trade value right now.
Mids
Watson - $528,900, B/E 173 - Goodbye
Hrovat - $214,200, B/E -16 - can't be traded for a few weeks yet.
Fyfe, Priddis - potential to be upgraded to Dangerfield, Swan (Griffen?)
Rucks
Blicavs - $371,500, B/E 96 - good source of money
Nicholls - $325,500, B/E 16 - may be a luxury, if you have DPP coverage, and need cash.
Fwds
Macaffer - $321,100, B/E 66 - a good cash option
Rocky, JJK, Dusty - are there solid upgrade targets available (apart from SJ)?
Now we know who can go out, we need to look at who you want/need.
Hanley - $411,100, B/E 49 - need to get on now, his price could explode soon.
Dangerfield - $630,200, B/E 109 - will probably creep in price over the next few weeks
Swan - $590,900, B/E 141 - possibly won't be any cheaper than this week or next.
Goldstein - $551,800, B/E 104 - will hover around this price, probably.
Johnson - $575,400, B/E 122 - could go big this week, and start to climb in price
Cheap DPP's
If you get McBean up into your Ruck line, you probably don't need either of Nicholls and Blicavs, so they can both be cashed out. Nicholls should wait a week or three. We all know everyone is guessing on D5/6, so yes, Goodes and Staker are a suitable D6/7. Outside of SJ, the best scoring Fwd you can get is probably Goldstein! (HUH?!) Obviously what I mean is, Goldy (and Cox) will outscore (probably) JJK, Rocky and Dusty from here. Getting Goldy and shifting Cox down seem like an idea.
So how do we achieve all this? Well, you definitely need to maximise cash generation.
Fortunately, the players you want/need to trade out have decent B/E's or are not playing this week. That removes the urgency on having to get rid of players before they leak too much cash. Your worst player in that boat is Blicavs, and he might leak between $0-$20k this week.
The players you want to trade in have some potential to start jumping in price. We need to focus on them, before we focus on who will leak cash.
Your priorities are Hanley and SJ, and both have the potential to climb in price. So get both this week!
Trades this week:
Watson to SJ, Duffield to Hanley.
Swap SJ down to your Fwd line for JJK. I'm backing SJ, Martin against GC, and Rocky without Moloney in the team to beat JJK. Swap Cox and NicNat, in case NicNat is selected, and is a late out, making Nicholls sub. If Hrovat is missing you can loophole Mitchell and JJK. So your team looks like this;
DEF: Goddard/Heppell/Shaw/Gibbs/Goodes/Hanley/Staker/Saunders
MID: Gazza/Pendles/JPK/Barlow/Fyfe/Priddis/Jelwood/Mitchell/JJK/Hrovat
RUC: Minson/Nicnat/Blicavs/Nicholls
FWD: SJ/Bartel/Dusty/Buddy/Rocky/Cox/Caff/McBean
Cash left: $212,100
Next week - rnd 17
Trade JJK to Dangerfield. This could be any combination of Rocky/JJK/Martin to Dangerfield/Swan/(Griffen?)
According to SC Gold JJK -> Danger will cost $144,100 next week.
This leaves 4 trades, and $68k in cash.
Trade Macaffer to Richards to create Staker link, and get cash. According to SC Gold, doing that next week will raise $227,600, and leave you with 3 trades and $295k in cash. Your team now looks like this:
DEF: Goddard/Heppell/Shaw/Gibbs/Goodes/Hanley/Staker/Saunders
MID: Gazza/Pendles/JPK/Barlow/Fyfe/Priddis/Jelwood/Dangerfield/Mitchell/Hrovat
RUC: Minson/Nicnat/Blicavs/Nicholls
FWD: SJ/Bartel/Dusty/Buddy/Rocky/Cox/Richards/McBean
Cash left: $295,000
Week after - rnd 18
Blicavs to Goldstein will cost $186,500 in round 18, according to SC Gold. Your team now looks like this:
DEF: Goddard/Heppell/Shaw/Gibbs/Goodes/Hanley/Staker/Saunders
MID: Gazza/Pendles/JPK/Barlow/Fyfe/Priddis/Jelwood/Dangerfield/Mitchell/Hrovat
RUC: Minson/Goldstein/McBean/Nicholls
FWD: SJ/Bartel/Dusty/Buddy/NicNat/Cox/Richards/Rocky
Cash left: $108,000
It means your Def back up is a little thin, but you still have 2 trades left. You could hang onto them for a couple of weeks. Maybe turn Hrovat into a DPP M/F for extra mid back up, or risk him as being your 2nd Mid back up, and try to get Swan in for Fyfe/Priddis. It would leave you with 1 trade for an LTI, Def back up, or GF side trade.
These 5 trades have sacrificed JJK, but given you Dangerfield, Goldstein, SJ and Hanley, and have also allowed you to have Rocky and Mitchell at F7 and M9. not too shabby!
Which ever way you go, I wish you luck!

Just one question though. You said I should do Duffield/Watson >> SJ/Hanley this week and swap JJK to MID. How do I swap JJK to MID? He does not have DPP...
And if I do the above trades, the cash I have left is $112,100 and not $212,100.
So a JJK/Martin/Rocky direct trade to Dangerfield in round 17 is not really possible.

Thanks Rowsus!
Thanks Rowsus!
Also not sure why you'd want to take a risk on Grimes. He might make a POD, but you also might waste 2 trades on him!
Brandon Jack is also an interesting choice, though it can be tough to find suitable downgrade targets now.
Unless your goal is a GF victory somewhere, I'd go:
Watson/Macaffer ---> Dangerfield/Atkins.
Shifting Atkins into the Mid, and having a DPP link for Mid back up, might be better than risking Brandon Jack's JS. It also gives you around $65k extra in your pocket than getting Griffen and Jack.
Going into future weeks, your biggest problem will be raising cash for good upgrades. I think you will need to cash Nicholls in a week or two, to get cash for better upgrades. Your R/F DPP link can be your Ruck coverage. You have some tough decisions to make, and I think you need to plan 3 weeks ahead, as to who you want to come into your team, and then look at how you afford them.
Good luck.

Yeah I guess it would be two trades - I don't think you could do it with just one unless Vlastuin is not selected this week.
But the risk of injury risk of Grimes is a lot lower since he only has to get through 7 games and not 22, it depends more if he can score like earlier this year. You also do get to see him for one more game and then decide while Staker fills in next week. Could be a little reassuring..
If not Grimes I'd probably pick Watts. Both are risky options, but are underpriced and could easily average 95 from here..
mind you McKenzie has been verrry consistent..

Hi Rowsus and fellow supercoach tragics,
I stumbled across this forum by chance in March and have been hooked ever since. Have made many moves based on the advice provided here. Actually can't believe that invoices aren't being sent out for some of the advice that goes out here. As we are coming to crunch time and placed either 1st or 2nd in my leagues (4000th overall - so the big prize is out the door) I have decided that this is time for my first post.
My query is based on who to keep and who to get rid of. Any thoughts from anyone will be much appreciated.
Goddard, Hartlett, Shaw, Gibbs, Terlich, Ellis (Goodes Thurlow)
GAJ, Pendles, Danger, Selwood, Cotchin, Fyfe, O'Meara, Mitchell (Martin, Colquhoun)
Cox, Nic Nat (Nicholls, Currie)
Bartel, Walker, Martin, Franklin, Rockliff, Kennedy (Staker, Macaffer)
Have 240k and 9 trades left.
Thinking O'Meara to SJ. Want to get Hanley in with his price so low but not sure who to drop or if I should even drop any of the three listed below with the backs being a raffle this year.
Terlich ave 94 since r7, Ellis 106 since r5 (leaving out his sub score), Goodes just consistent week in week out.
cheers

14 players, or close enough to 2/3rds of your on field stock are potential upgrades!
Probably as you suggested, your Mids are close enough, but your other lines have potential for upgrades. What makes it so hard, is that apart from getting a Swan/Dangerfield/Griffin, that are hard to reach from where you are, or Goldy/Minson, it's really hard to know what to suggest, as so many of the upgrades are only adding around 8-10/game to the player they replace.
The biggest potential point of improvement is probably in the Ruck, so maybe start there?
Your other problem would appear to be making money for other upgrades.
You might be best, after trading this week, to wait a week or 3, then bone one of your Midpricers to facilitate a couple of upgrades elsewhere.
Good luck
