More of a general discussion rather than one focused on trades, I suppose. I doubt many of us have any trades to waste, probably holding on to their last one (or two) in case of injury. With Kelly still missing and Lycett a surprise out, my last planned trade - Logue->whoever - was put on hold...

Well done. A couple of 130+ scores never hurts, does it?

@Orallus_Maximus Did you bring in Greene?

Yeah, I think a trade is necessary if you have enough, given the injury history at GWS this year. They seem unwilling to bring a player back unless they are absolutely sure that player is good to go. Cameron might not even make it back before the finals. Makes sense. They're guaranteed to make...

I like Greene, too. Or perhaps Lynch if you want to save the cash. If you wanted to go for a real POD, have you thought of Prestia? Only averaging 97.3 for the season but his post-bye scores are good: 94, 125, 104, 97, 128 = 109.6av. That's the highest 5-rnd average of any mid under $540,00...

That's a tough one. I think there are good arguments for taking either. Lynch: he's kicking goals and getting a lot of the ball - 3,3 and 5 goals and 18, 19 and 16 possies - since JRoo returned; the Tigers have 2 relatively easy games (Melb and Carlton) followed by 2 relatively hard (WC and...

I think Houli is the pick of them, too, but I can't afford him. All his remaining games are at the G where he has played 8 games this year: 112, 142, 102, 142, 93, 104, 111, 102 = 113.5 average. That's a Lloyd-like record.

Four rounds to go and this week I'm using my last trade to do a final upgrade: Logue->Rich. I'd rather bring in Houli but I'm $1,700 short and Rich is the next best defender not already in my team. I know leaving myself with no trades is a bit of a risk but I've got reasonable cover: Answerth...

Gawn "c" for me, too. Cripps is a puzzle. Last week he looked really sore and sorry but then he comes out this week and kills it.

I'm not sure. I'm thinking of going for Gawn as "c" - no Preuss, up against Marshall. He may fail but I'm thinking it's worth the gamble.

That's tough one. Zerrett has a 67BE which is lower than either Whitfield or Gawn. So his price is likely to increase the most. But Mumford is the one you'd want to ditch first: neither Clarke or Walsh (or Andrews) are likely to lose money whereas Mummy is; with Preuss dropped Gawn is likely to...

Can you afford to wait a week? With a 117BE Marshall is unlikely to go up in price much, if at all. He faces Gawn and earlier in the year he scored 50 against Gawn. Marshall is a better player now than he was then but that much better? Is you other upgrade feasible? If so, you can do that this...

The good and bad of Ross Lyon: he brings back Logue and Bewley - good - in the same week Fyfe is out injured - bad - after Lyon had said earlier in the week that Fyfe was fine. At least most of us should have the bench to cover Fyfe's absence but if you have all of Fyfe, Kelly and Coniglio you'd...

It depends upon how many trades you have left and which premium backs. Moore is about $100K more than Logue and trading him would enable you to trade in a better prospec than Ryan - who I see as an iffy proposition. If you must trade then may I suggest Sicily? He's $30K less than Ryan and, to...

If! But as I think I have to keep him, here's hoping.

I'm holding because I only have three trades.

That sounds good to me. As long as you have bench cover in your mids.

Sicily is at a good price, isn't he? As someone who started with him I'm quite filthy with Clarko for playing him fwd: both for the low scores that resulted and the drop in price that let's him be picked up cheaply.

Only suffered the one donut last round - prepared for Gawn to be out but in the process left my fwd bench bare so when Boak missed that was it. It could have been worse as I know of at least one person who had two donuts. This week I bring in Hurn which will leave me with one final defence...

I should stop answering these questions. The players I suggest don't do any good - at least in the first week or two. e.g. this week: Sloane - 84; last week: Parker - 106, 97
