I did this last week and think it is worth it. Especially considering we don't know when or even if he will be back.
Bennell is one of my most disappointing starting picks this year. I considered him a lock. How wrong could I have been?
I was intent on keeping Bennell but it looks like I might move him on for Gaz now. I share the disappointment, especially because when he's actually taken to the park, he's been pretty good. Just too few and far between. It means that for now I have Mckernan and Steele being loopholed through F6 until I decide which forward to turn Wallis into. On the plus side... all aboard the Gaz train!

Absolutely. Started the year with him but I've made a habit this year of trading in players that I've already traded out so why not do it with my last few trades too
I am in exactly the same situation yet slightly different. Steele and McKernan would be my F6/7 but if I used Bennell to get Gaz, I would be stuck with Boston and only have Amon as mid cover. I think I am better off upgrading Boston to Rocky and if I have too, trade Bennell to another fwd premo.
People forget how good Rocky has been. I reckon a lot of people will completely destroy their teams flexibility and structure just to get Gaz in. If it doesn't work for you then don't do it. Rocky is an awesome get at 510k and I reckon he will want to make up for lost time. A 120 avg from here will soften the blow of not getting Gaz but you would hate to get to round 20, and be out of trades with your bench cover not playing and your team looking like Swiss cheese.
Yeah don't completely hamstring your team just to get him, make him option and priority number one but if it just doesn't make sense for your team then Rocky is a good consolation. That being said I'm probably taking myself down to 2 trades with Bennel still in after getting Gaz this week.
Absolutely agree Steve and JDog. A better balanced team will always win out for me over having Gaz and relying on rookies at M8 & F6. I also think a lot of coaches will destroy their teams structure by going all out to get Gaz. More than happy with my decision.
Im down to 2 trades after getting in Rocky and still have Bennell to deal with. He can sit on my bench until I have a league game that is in the balance and I need those few extra points

If you're liking the Ablett VC into Fyfe C combination, then I have some good news as from now until the end of the season, GCS plays before FRE in every round!

Which player ranks No.1 in the AFL for #SuperCoach points (average) in fourth quarters this year?
The answer is obvious. @GaryAblettJnr ranks No.1 with an average of 41 points in 4th quarters, ahead of @toddgoldstein22 (32).

I just brought him in this week. BE of about 119. He won't go down in price much more. I was going to keep Sloane for the finals, and get rid of Griffen for Ablett, but decided to get rid of Sloane instead. I only have 2 trades left and $175,000 in the bank so I can upgrade someone (Oxley) and leave 1 trade for the finals. Or 2 trades for the finals. I just hope the players I had from the start of the season and persisted with (Malceski, Griffen) finally perform in the last few games when I need them.
My team now stands at;
B: Shaw, McDonald, Hodge, Ibbotson, Malceski, Oxley (Hamling, Edwards)
M: Fyfe, Pendlebury, Beams, Parker, Jack, Griffen, Rockliff, Ablett (Krakouer, Neal-Bullen, Lambert)
R: Goldstein, Naitanui (O'Brien)
F: Martin, Gray, Swan, Zorko, Bontempelli, Steele (Daniel, Goddard)

He may not end up with as much as Goldy, but wont be to many off! 124 at 3/4 time, happy days!!
Happy days indeed. People said don't break the bank to bring in Ablett. Well I did and I can't be happier right now.
