1 2 3 or 4

1. Cousins to Young (gives me fwd cover which otherwise I don’t have) and Rocky to Sidey/Blakely
2. Cousins to Young and Harbrow to Hurley
3. Rocky to Sidey and Dahl to Jack
4. Rocky to Jack/Swallow and Harbrow to Blakely/Hurley
Thanks in advance
trade 2
newman, shaw and tuohy?
Newman and Tuohy.
Who are you getting in though? Tuohy might be worth holding
In abit of trouble after trading I pendls 3 weeks ago lol. Need all the help I can get!
Docherty, Adams, Laird, Lloyd, Newnes, Newman (Ryan, Hibberd)
Mitchell, Dangerfield, Merrett, Zorko, Pendls, JPK, Treloar, Witherden (SPP, Mountford)
Grundy, Darcy (Soldo, Cameron)
Macrae, Greene, Heeney, Yeo, Dahl, Greenwood (Nankervis, Young)
14k in the bank
Thinking at the Moment
Pendls -> Blakley
Nankervis -> Basement
Leaves 322k to double upgrade SPP and Newman next week to Sidey and Dusty?
Any other moves I could make?
If trading Nank you might be better off bring in JKH. More expensive than a basement rookie but will make you some cash at least.
DEF: Docherty, Adams, Laird, Simpson, Newnes, Newman (Ryan, Hibberd)
MID: Mitchell, Danger, Merrett, Zorko, JPK, Oliver, Lloyd, Witherden (Mountford, Brown)

Thoughts?
My trades this week are out of 4 options, help would be greatly appreciated cheers lads :)
1. Newman to Dusty?
2. Dahl to Sidebottom?
3. Dahl to Dusty?
4. Newman to Sidebottom?.
Don’t know that I’d get rid of Dahlhaus
so rather give newman the flick over Dahlhaus?
I would go dahl to sidey myself. have both dahl and newman and I trust in newmaN more
My choice would probably be Newman to Dusty.
Newman to Sidebum for me.
Also, this is the third time you have posted this question.
Probs Dahl to toss of a coin- depends if your fwd line or midfield is weaker
newman, shaw and tuohy
need to trade 2?
probs Shaw and Tuohy, or a toss up between shaw and newman
hi I need help not sure what to do
trade dusty out or Dangerfield????
please reply :)
Neither? Dusty coming off a 130 and Danger hopefully back next week
Rank in order fellas,
Dusty, Sidebum, Murphy, Kelly, Bont?
Dusty, Kelly, Murphy, Sidey, Bont
DEF: Doc, Adams, Laird, Lloyd, Newman, Witherden, (Ryan, Willis)
MID: Titch, Danger, Merret, Kelly, Dusty, Ross, Gaff, Rocky, (Cousins, Pickett)
RUC: Grundy, Stef, (Darcy, Lewis)
FWD: Heeney, Yeo, Menegola, Steele, Greenwood, Thomas, (Beech, Zarhuur)
20k in the bank
Stef to 150k Ruc & Cousins to K. Simpson (To play instead of Danger)
Thoughts? Any other suggestions?
DEF: Docherty, Adams, Laird, Lloyd, Newnes, Newman (O’Connor, Ryan)
MID: Titchell, Dangerfield, Merrett, Duncan, Murphy, Treloar, Parker, Witherden (Atley, Moutford)
RUC: Grundy, Stef (Darcy, King)
FWD: Macrae, Heeney, Yeo, Sheed, Dahlhaus, Greenwood (McKay, Zurhaar)
Literally $0 in the bank
want to double downgrade and get some cash in the bank, if Yeo and Danger are ok. Ryan is out so thinking him to Keath/Larkey/Glass
would I then be completely insane to trade Stef out for Rowan Marshall and play Darcy as R2??
Strategically sound trade to dump stef to play darcy, a lot of top tier teams already have
trade newman or shaw?
What trades should I make?
DEF: Doch, Adams, Laird, Lloyd, Newnes, Newman, (Ryan, Nyhuis)
MID: Titch, Danger, Dusty, Gaff, JPK, Crouch, Hanners, Witherden, (Mountford, Hibberd)
RUCK: Grundy, Stef, (Dacry, Simpson)
FWDS: Macrae, Heeney, Yeo, Menegola, Stevens, Dahl, (C Brown, Pierce)
$102k remaining
Thanks guys!
Ryan to 150k
Upgrade witherden or Newman can you give me some advice Greg
I’d shed Big Stef ASAP – Dump Hibbered to a 150k rook then get in the Big KRUEZER..
Then next week I’d downgrade Darcy and upgrade Newnes to Zerret with put Witherden down back at D6
Def
Docherty Adams Laird Lloyd Newnes Ryan(Guthrie Willis )
Mid
Merrett Dangerfield, tom Mitchell, Rocky JPK Murphy Gaff Mountford (Miles deluca )
Rucks
Grundy Gawn ( Cameron Simpson )
Forward
Yeo Macrae Dahlhaus Heeney Menegola young (zurharr Pickett )
I have currently 264k in the bank what 2 trades shall I do thoughts appreciated?
I’m just interested in Winning my league and finals
Ryan to Blakely and Miles to $150k.
Should I bring in Macrae or Sidebottom this week? Macrae has a lower breakeven and plays Gold Coast, Sidey plays West Coast and a breakeven of about 130.
Leaning towards Macrae for those reasons.
is blakely a top 6 defender ?
Yep – Doch, Laird, Lloyd, Simpson, Blakely, Adams
Not much value in him though
