Hey guys, I'm hoping I can get some advice on trades to make/advice to help my team out. Anything that will especially benefit me in Round 4 as there's a face-off I want to win. I'm not the most knowledgable AFL fan so any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot... (please note Dyas & Pettered are in the starting line-up)

not a bad side mate, but i think u r really gna struggle because you havnt chosen the emergencies wisely. u needed to get the players who would play early in the year and go up in price, but instead it appears that you've blindly selected..

Dew is injured, so trade him and pick up Cyril Rioli

Trade one of your emergency Mids and Pick up either Bird or Jack from Sydney to at least get a little bit of a price increase. Jack's probably a better short term option but Bird seems to have found his feet a little more this week and so Long term he'd be a better investment.

You should have a bit left over to use in future weeks and hopefully with rookie improvements you can upgrade to a couple of big guns.

The drop list
1. Johnson-im thinking you picked him after 1 i repeat 1 good game?
2. Betts-ms incosistant
3 Fevola mr inconsistan
4. Hawkins-rubbish pick

Thanks for the replies guys, I'm going to put Rioli in. And then have a look at a few other possible trades. Cheers.

Few things to keep in mind:
* If you can help it, try and make any changes AFTER the teams lists on Thursday night. And if possible after the Sunday game Emergencies are named. This will give you a better idea who is playing and allows you to avoid any possible training major injuries.
* Try and keep at least 6 trades for the finals. So, if possible, don't burn trades on moves that only marginally improve your team.

Thanks for the tips

At this rate you are going to be out of trades by round 11 !!!!

Then what do you propose to do? Do you have a strategy?

In your own post you have highlighted the problem ... "NON-SCORING PLAYERS' you have far to many of them!!!!
