Strategy 2024: Round 5 Trades

Out: Jordon, Hogan
In: N Martin, Clohesy

Holding Grundy for now and prioritising upgrades elsewhere. He’s still going ok, but will eventually turn him into English.

 

[Baglimit]

With all these Grundy to English trades, think im gonna have to close the neg pod and trade Grundy to Gawn. Have English.

sorry did someone mention a Flanders role change?? he still scored good I didn't watch? do I have reason for concern bringing him in? he has hawks this week so all the mids should score pretty well

he was playing half back

 

[WizzFizz]

Depends on team - but is be Steele, Martin, young, Rozee in that order

Cheers. Out of interest why does it depend on the team, given who ever gets picked up will be on the field with no rookies displaced

Tempted to bring Clohesy in for D'Ambrosio and use the cash to upgrade Jordon to Martin or Flanders, but worried that leaves me exposed with two rookies on field down back.

I didn't actually see the Suns game, do we think Clohesy is likely to be a relatively reliable on field scorer and what role was he playing?

I would pull the trigger whilst you’ve got money in the bank and get either English or Marshall in this round, gets a rookie off field this round and they both probably put 10-15 points on Grundy for every week you hold.

Majority wing with a couple stints at HB. I think he’ll go at roughly a 70 average. Good enough for a D6 spot if needed but I wouldn’t be expecting 108 every week. Had a typical winger spike game like Sharp this week and Billings in round 1. JS is relatively safe after that performance I’d imagine.

 

[XabiFernando]

Surprised at the interest in English - only discounted $25k from starting price, and a query over his ruck split if Darcy continues to ruck in the forward line (and he doesn't look like leaving the team anytime soon).

I do think it's highly likely he finishes top 2 ruck but still feels like a lot of cash to spend to get him at this point. Unless he was also ruck splitting with Lobb last year and still putting up strong scores?

 

[WizzFizz]

Meek or comben + 130k

Given the large amount of bubble boys next week id rather float grabbing a north intercepter early than ramsden or graham

Grundy not even going terribly at 103.
I tend to agree with you. Are there not more pressing issues in teams for R5?
I do get trading him though just whether you want to fork out almost $200 to pick up an extra 15ppg right now.
Upgrade Massimo for $200k to say young could beg you 40ppg

 

[Zagbag]

Will get a bit funky.
Grundy to Lohmann via Jackson
Howese to Clohesy
Sexton to J. Cameron

Jezza cheap as chips off a 50 & 60... 27 touches last round and gets North this week. Could go 150 and then make it hard for people to get him in with potentially multiple downgrades needed next week.
Jackson goes to R2, I get a look at him with Darcy then trade him up to English for 600k, after he kicks 12 on West Coast in round 7.

Great way of looking at it. I think for me it feels more motivated by canning Grundy than anything else - but to be fair he won't be a top 2 ruck either so I see the appeal

Many ways to play this game that’s the fun of it

 

[Ben's Beasts]

Really looking forward to the completion of round 6. I currently have eight on Jaiden’s dpp list. That will become nine if the likely Comben inclusion occurs once he’s on the bubble.

Some serious versatility incoming.
