guys im wondering ive got 473k when i trade hall wo should i get ive got it down 2 nick riewoldt chapman s.johnson i'm leaning towards riewoldt but plz give me youropinion because this is a huge decision!!!!!!!!!!
I would go to Riewoldt and trade up to Chapman when his price bottoms out in a couple of matches time. Brad Johnson (if he can get over his injury) will be a bargain in about a month.

My team (16 trades left, $172,800 in bank):
(B) C.Cornes, H.Shaw, Symes, Milburn, Gram, Taylor, Wonnaeamirri (Spangher, Proud)
(C) Ablett, Cross, K.Cornes, Stevens, Houli, N.Jones (Palmer, Bird)
(R) Cox, Simmonds (Kruezer, West)
(F) Medhurst, Porplyzia, Pavlich, Deledio, Hill, Rioli, J.Brown (Tippett, Gamble)

Game plan:
* Upgrade some of the defence some time in the future when the cash cows mature
* Upgrade Houli, N.Jones - downgrade Bird
* Upgrade forwards to Chapman, Riewoldt, B.Johnson (if he comes right)

The dilemma - options for this week:
Upgrade N. Jones to Mitchell - will cost about $87,500. The transfer price probably won't be much different next week. Is Mitchell worth it or do I just wait for Swan or Corey who's price will dip a bit in the coming weeks, since Stevens probably is my 6th midfielder it might be best to go for a gun? Does Mitchell class as a almost gun and therefore better to wait?

Upgrade Hill to Riewoldt - will cost $148,600. Probably the only option for a forward upgrade at the moment. Deledio is probably worth keeping - at least for now. Gamble will probably be an easy trade to B.Johnson in a month which would leave Medhurst or Deledio to Chapman.

Which is the best option - or is there something else I am missing?


P.S. I do plan on possibly getting Armitage for Bird - assuming Armitage is still goes ok this week and gets picked for 3rd game and maybe Tippett to Valenti (assuming upgraded and plays 3 in the mid future). Looking at Gilbee when he bottoms out, but will eventaully have to trade up a couple of the cheaper backs.
bump - any opinions?

Alright, I'm going the double trade.

Got Goddard as one and 366k for another, main options are King, Mackie, McLeod, Fletcher, McPhee, Birchall... Anyone else?

Decisions, decisions.

Hey guys is it worth holding onto Josh Hill for this weekend? His BE is 63 according to FanFooty so he will probably score around that especially if BJ misses as he might be a bit more of a target in the foward line and around the ground. On the flipside, I'm thinking of trading him in now because I want to do two trades next week. If i trade him out i had Gamble to take his place on the field but if Johno misses i only have Hartlett behind that. What do people reckon?

The only thing that worries me is that there is the possibility that Riewoldt might miss out playing this week - depending on how serious his hamstring is.

downgrading ellis to either wonameeri or taylor can i have some opinions on who to get and whos gana play the most games
Remember Wonaeamirri is a rookie listed player who is playing in place of Grimes may go back to the rookie list when Grimes is fit to return. That all depends on what Melbourne will do with Nietz on LTI list. Will they retain Wonaeamirri on playing list or upgrade Valenti? Taylor seems to have settled into Geelong squad - but they are strong, so he might miss out games. I'd say you have lost out on some of the $ increase on both those players. Might be better to go for one of the two game players about to play their third to get full value and then upgrade them later.

What kinda chance is Armitage to hold his spot in the saints lineup for a while? Trying to think of injured Saints midfielders to come back but cant think of any off the top of my head...
