Strategy 2024: Round 4 Trades

[Russty_]

Not sure about that - he has gone up 70K but he could be this year's Chandler with his roaming up the ground role.

219K currently - SuperCoach Plus predicts he’ll be $300k in a few weeks and $350k by round 9

22 possessions/11 contested, 6 marks, 7 tackles for 86 points on Monday, 88% TOG also so has a big tank obviously. Great signs that he scored so well without kicking a goal, very good option to have on the field especially when it is best 22 like this week.

I hope you're right mate cause I started him too, just not ideal bringing in a rookie after their biggest price rise. Aren't they either supposed to be a money maker or a keeper?, decent scoring stepping stone is also a thing I guess.

Is holding Hore both Hore and Reid going to be a mistake in the long term?

I can bring in Touk, Flanders and Darcy this week, but it means holding both Hore and Reid and now Sexton.
3 players not making cash on the bench feels like a bit of an issue.


Is it smarter to take the short term hit on points and only get one of Touk or Flanders and solidify cash gen by shifting Reid to a Brown/Draper?

Four spots if you have a loop at R3. I'd get rid of Sexton first, Hore second and Reid last.

I can't see Hore coming back straight into the 22.

Tough one, but they look like good ins.

Worth highlighting that it only really fixes cash gen it the ins are good ones. Ie compromised picks might not be a lot better.

If you like the rookie ins though, it’s a good time of year to prioritise cash gen.

 

[Darkie]

I'd say Jordon, he's been quite consistent up until last week but 65 also isn't disastrous.

This was my reaction too @BigRuss

 

[aj74]

Welcome back, Harley Reid then, I guess.

No hard feelings, youngblood but we've got this one week contract for you...

 

[quite ironic]

Locked in:

Coffield -> Draper
Jordon -> Darcy
Windsor -> T.Green


Deal with Sexton next week and use him as a loop between Darcy and Wilson (hopefully Cadman plays!).

 

[Miller is a Steele]

Now I’m leaning to Coffield > Brown and Billings > Darcy. Stick fat with Libba?

Coffield > Brown
Sexton > Darcy

Was hoping Sexton would get dropped but didn’t think it would actually happen. Think Adelaide is a great matchup for Billings and likely scores 20+ points on whoever I would’ve fielded out of Campbell and Darcy. Could’ve kept Sexton as a loop but I think this is the better option in my situation. Billings will still be out next week unless he goes 90+.

 

[wolfbunny]

Dempsey's a bit of a missed boat mate, Thomas could still turn out ok, looks like a good young player, hopefully not sub!

Yeah, traditionally to miss their first pay rise is a killer I’m not sure that applies to every player or with those extra trades.
As @Shannon said he looked good on Monday without a goal got 80 odd.
I’m moving on Billings, Sexton this week, both didn’t really gift much money!
I’ve still got Windsor, Jordon, and Lazzaro same same.
Dealt with Gibcus, still have Reid and Williams in the backs. No money there yet!
Need to try a different path and taking one of those a week late, was leaning towards Dempsey, seems to be the way.
Draper and Brown down back don’t appeal this week.

 

[ScottishBomber]

Looking like need to get rid of Sexton, F. Macrae and Z.Reid. Not massively keen to use a boost purely for 3 rookie corrections.

Any thoughts?

Wasn't 100% aware of the full extent of your issues there mate as I haven't been around for the last 2 or 3 days, and i don't have half of those guys, I have a feeling Williams might be worth staying with. Could be very wrong but I'm just gonna hang with him for now, surely he can't have fallen that far where he's only a 70 average now? I think Reid is back in 2 weeks or so...thereabouts.

 

[Maccas marvels]

Not much discussion in here on the merits of bringing in Bramble this week.

Even after his initial price rise to 347K, he can still be a viable cash cow if he continues to average 90+

More importantly though, he would replace a Sexton/Sam Darcy on field (through DPP) for me. So even if he falls short of a 90 average, he may still provide significant benefit with improved on field scoring over a F6 rookie.

The 10 kick-ins he’s taken over the first 3 weeks (played on from all) is the most enticing part about Bramble and certainly helps bolster his scoring.

Thoughts?

Knowing brambles prior history I think your setting yourself up for potential failure with this pick..
ed richards back in the team this weekend…no point bringing him in just to trade him out later on….

 

[donnybuang]

Is it better to go Darcy over Dempsey and have $118k spare rather than $22k spare
Seems like an obvious answer really

Yes. Yes it is.

Might be looking on the bright side, but when a side makes six changes, it makes me think it’s either pretty even in that 15-30 range, or some of it is kind of sending a message. I would think the chance of multiple ins next week, some of them reversing this week’s outs, is high.

Also re Macrae, I wonder if he is one you could park on the bench near term. I’m not as positive on him as a lot of other people seem to be, but the Pies have been mixing things up a bit as well, and I would think if we don’t play him this year, he will leave, and it’s not like we have a lot behind him in the queue.

Ultimately I wouldn’t dissuade you from trading either per se, but if you’re boosting to do so, you can maybe be a bit more patient on one or both.

He may be, cats have had a pretty soft start though.

All good, too many coaches on here to know everyones team,but I am a sainters man, come on 🤣
Looping Howes score tonight, looking like Williams will come on for him.
As long as they have warm blood pumping thru their veins they can stay, except Billings! He can get the heck out of here! 🤣

Oh yeah since you mentioned Howes, Howes far has he fallen into freakin obscurity?!, what the hell man, was averaging 74 week 2, now seems to be averaging diddly squat, another one we might have to dump for a nowhere near 150k profit.
Look on the bright side, at least you didn't start Oliver as well.

Wellllll, 🤣 no luckily but does anyone start with the perfect team! One year it’ll happen🤣

 

[tso]

Does it? Whats the obvious answer coz ive gone dempsey....

Was thinking Darcy will make more money with a -92 BE and Projected 42 and you save $96k.
Dempsey only -19 and won't make as much. Might score a few more but no guarantee.

 

[freowho]

So, teams have given me more questions than answers.
I have Wines and Sexton and also prepared to move out Fyfe.
I was going to bring in Powell as I missed him last week, despite trading him in being the plan. Kind of my fault but also not my fault.
If I use Sexton it means Dempsey or Fyfe sit on the bench, which seems like a waste.
If I trade Fyfe I can loop Dempsey and Darcy but I can't help thinking Fyfe has a good spike game in him.
There are a few options for Wines too.
I shouldn't be having so much trouble making a decision given that whatever I choose to do will be the wrong thing to do. 😀

Ed Richards played Round 1 and Bramble still did well?
