Strategy 2024: Round 5 Trades
- Thread starter Under The Dome
- Start date
Whilst those moves look good in isolation I think that you've got bigger issues than doing a luxury trade right now. I'm seeing 5 dead rookies on your bench and that needs to be addressed sooner rather than later.
That being said, I guess you could boost next week and fix 3 of those rookies with Graham, Comben and maybe Ramsden, otherwise your upgrading will come to a grinding halt.

Surprisingly little change to this (so far). Prefer Comben and Georgiades over Lohmann but cannot afford either this round if I go with Flanders and no one else that really interest between those price ranges in the fwd line. Keeping Grundy and will reassess in RD7. Can grab Meek but it likely locks me into using my final boost next round to get rid of Livingstone and then make a decision on Grundy/Meek in RD7 and ideally move Darcy to R3.
Alternative would be going a week early on Comben and Georgiades and trading Coffield over Howes with the intention to turn Carroll into Dawson/LDU next round.

I would be reluctant to get rid of any midfielder that has Geelong & Hawthorn in their next 2 games.
McKercher is interesting because he had to cop small narrow Norwood last week and now has to cop small narrow Kardinia Park this week.
Could easily seem him putting up good scores again when North returns to a normal sized stadium. Could even be a nice POD if everyone jumps off after an average game at the Cattery...

Is he though? Has had Geelong (unbeaten), Collingwood (reigning premiers), Essendon and Richmond and has West Coast, North and Hawthorn before his bye.
Post-bye the Saints don't play away from Docklands except Adelaide in Adelaide (who look in all sorts this year). Three of those Docklands games are return fixtures against West Coast, Richmond and Essendon.
Probably not worth the cost of the trade from LDU, but still.

Steele is a contested beast. His scores might not be 140+ against the better teams but he won’t drop 60-80’s.
Steele’s tackling numbers are up as well (8.5 per game), so his base is going to be solid. Compare that to LDU who has only made 13 tackles in 4 games. Pretty pathetic numbers for an inside mid really.

I'm not trying to be contrarian, I promise, but:
But we're not picking him just for this week anyway!
- Daicos 34 touches (16 contested), 10 clearances and 4 tackles for 131 SC
- LDU 29 touches (11 contested), 8 clearances and 6 tackles for 121 SC
- Yeo 27 touches (15 contested), 9 clearances and 8 tackles for 110 SC
- Rowell 26 touches (19 contested), 8 clearances and 3 tackles for 129 SC
