[CaptainChardonnay]

Doing my wifes team. Here's the situation;

5 trades left..... $860k in the bank.

Backs;
Harding - Keep. Gilbert - Keep. Gilbee - Keep. Burgoyne - Keep. Drummond - Keep. Suban - Keep (Bench). Pearce - Keep (Bench)

Tradeable: Spangher - $290k. Hill - $338k.

Mids;
Bartel - Keep. Priddis - Keep. Kirk - Keep. Pendles - Keep. Anthony - Keep (Bench)

Tradeable: Vince - $440k. Dangerfield - $333k.

Rucks;
Petrie & Kruezer to Keep. White on bench.

Fwds;
Chapman - Keep. Brown - Keep. Franklin - Keep. Goodwin - Keep. Jurrah - Keep (Bench). Ballantyne - Keep (Bench).

Tradeable: Higgins - $448k. LeCras - $355k. Stokes - $402k.

Two trades this week. Two trades next week. One up the sleeve for LTI/luxury upgrade.

What would you do????

What would you do????

I'd get ROK then wait until finals.

 

[Hawkmad]

I would trade LeCras > ROK & upgrade a mid maybe Dangerfield > Ablett/Swan/Montagna/Dal Santo. Then sit until the finals.

Would use a fair chunk of your cash but you would get 2 big upgrades & would still have approx. $170k(worst case senario if you got Ablett) and 3 trades for the finals.

 

[Ingall]

Unless you really need the points, I'd get Ablett next week. He's got a BE of over 200.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

Yep. Thinking I need One back, One mid, Two fwds and one Luxury trade if No LTI's.

Thinking Spangher in the backs. Dangerfield in the Midfield. LeCras HAS to go and then Stokes or Higgins depending on form.

Targets I'm looking at are Goddard/Hodge, Ablett/Swan & ROK/Didak. Can probably get them all if I time the run right. i.e. wait for the best BE scores for the outbound (High) and incoming players (low). If I can get all of those three combinations, I think it's an extra 300 points per game..

Spangher $290k
Dangerfield $333k
LeCras $355k
Cash $860k
Total: $1.838m

Ablett $711k BE 200+
Swan $645k BE 115
Hodge $534 BE 38
Goddard $545 BE 89
ROK $673 BE 86
Didak $598 BE 185

Those numbers alone leave me to think that Hodge/Goddard needs to come in now. Ablett is going to fall about $30k if he maintains an average of 146 in the next two games. Then the big question, can ROK maintain the rage or is the slightly cheaper Didak the better option (So I can squeeze in Ablett over Swan)???

Three very big ins, Three very big decisions.

i think you need to get ablett and hodge in your side.

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

i think you need to get ablett and hodge in your side.

My thoughts exactly. But now all this rumour circulating about Ablett being injured and potentially being rested. Hodge to be rested if the Hawks drop another cple of games has me nervous. Seriously looking at StKilda and thinking Goddard, Montagna, Riewoldt. Straight down the spine...

 

[CaptainChardonnay]

In the end I've gone with;

Hill >>>>> Hodge

LeCras >>>>> Roo.

Figure this should net her at least 100+ points per week. She scored her highest ever of 2100+ last week 9Could be in for a few favours this week.. )

Leaves her with 3 X trades and $460k in the bank

One more upgrade trade next week of Dangerfield for a premium midfield (Any suggestions??) and then two trades and some cash for luxury upgrades/LTI in the finals.
