Strategy 2024: Round 4 Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
Reid only needs one spike score and Dempsey a spud score to switch those scenarios.
Not sold on upgrading Wilson after one price rise to another rookie. It’s cost you $50k that Wilson could make this round. you’re behind on the equation before you even started.
No crystal ball though, I hope Dempsey does the business for you

Used my boost in the end and absolutely no regrets (so far).
Had already used the two trades on;
OUT: Rankine, Hore
IN: Jordan Clark, Darcy
Was tossing up whether to use the 3rd on a certain ‘premium’ mid who is not scoring like one and did end up pulling the trigger on;
OUT: LDU
IN: Steele
Now have a bit of cash to spend on a trade plan over the next couple of bye rounds which may not have been achieved had I held LDU.

Do we believe Sam Darcy is a must have trade in?
whilst there is no doubt he will make a large amount of cash this round ($60k approx) do we see him having strong job security considering Lobbs performance in the twos?
I would also need to boost to get him in which has me doubting the necessity to bring him in…
thoughts?

With uncertainty around upcoming rookies I think you have to take him. Even if he misses games, with the ultra low BE he’ll make money eventually. I don’t mind having him sitting at F8 and making money over a longer period if necessary given after this week you can still cash him out for a good profit if you need to.
Hello, I'm new to this thread. I find it hard to keep up with the 30 plus pages, but appreciate everyone posting their thoughts.
I've only traded once this season and have in the past been reluctant to trade early. I fully understand cash gen is king and rectifying dud picks is necessary.
So after fielding Burgess and not looping I find myself in a pickle. I've used a boost and completed the following trades.
Out - Jordon maxed out and bye next week, but playing WC, Newcombe $40k too late, and Phillips Hawks 🤔 still holding Coffield.
In - Darcy unsure with Bevo, Elijah Hollands and Powell GC in defence as a nice pod.
My team looks like this.

Very disciplined of you so far Prof!
I think a boost is a good idea though.
A few thoughts from me … I know you won’t copy/paste someone else’s suggestion, so I’ll just give you some ideas and potential building blocks 🙂
- Powell seems okay, but I’m not sure you need 5 premium defenders with only 3 premium mids and 1 premium forward.
- Cash is key as you say. Mannagh, Sexton and Coffield can hopefully be replaced with better cows near term. I think getting good cows in is a key priority.
- I’m a bit unsure about trading Phillips over Coffield given the latter is injured. I’m guessing this is to raise cash this round, but focusing on future cash gen might be more beneficial.
- Flanders looks very attractive as a way to sure up your two weakest lines, at a good price. Could be F1.
- Hollands will be interesting to watch, but it seems like waiting a week could be wise. Would be more appealing if forward eligible or getting more CBAs.
- Holding Jordon near term seems fine to me.
- Harvey Thomas looks like a POD rookie worth considering for a quick cash boost. I would likely get him if I didn’t have to use a third boost to do so!
