Strategy 2024: Round 6 Trades

[Dark Horses]

Everyone has similar plans - it's just which mids are preferred.
I have Sanders / Windsor / Carroll / Wilson all about to be flipped with a few others nearing time to take off the stove. Dempsey, Brown, D'Ambrosio still cooking.
I did as planned and brought in Graham and Clohesy after their 2nd strong game. Holding on boost for this week but will probably grab Walsh next week. Steele on the horizon.

 

[randomcliche]

Discuss Jordan de Goey. I bought him in lock and load, do I follow up in Classic?

 

[OnTopBar]

Kallan Dawson missed the game with an ankle complaint.

He may come straight back in for Bigoa?

He might come in for McKercher

 

[scarfaceclaw]

Can we start this season again? I'd like to start with heeney, powell, gawn, steele, touk; Ryan and yeo. No

Mckercher and Gibcus or Clark to Comben and Graham.

 

[OnTopBar]

Change of plans (one of many)

McKercher > Clohesy
Campbell > Comben
Sanders > Daicos

Can't resist the little ball pig at $566k, probably has to come in, so why not now?

 

[HawksForever]

Coffield, McKercher & Sanders for Clohesy, Graham and Comben... Bye Bye to my last boost. Been ultra aggressive in trading and going with lots of PODs as in it to win it. And following the pack ain't going to get it done. Current ranking 372 but bet my side doesn't look like to many others above me. 391k ITB

D: Sheezel, Houston, McGovern, Yeo, D'Ambrosio, Clohesy (Williams (E) Howes)
M: Bont, Rowell, Steele, NMartin, Zorko, JHF, Roberts, Graham (Wilson (E), Windsor, Clark)
R: Xerri, Meek (Livingston)
F: Flanders, Jackson, McKay, Powell, Reid, Comben (Darcy E, Sexton)

Next week Sexton and Clark for Walsh and best available M/F rookie.

It could go either way... too many failing PODs will see me plummet but if they all fire, who knows...

any reason why rankine isnt on anyones radar?

Was on the radar pre-season and a few went with him.
Up until his spike game on the w/e, he's been a mid-pricer scoring in the 80's, not the sort of stuff to get people excited.
If he backs it up with a couple of good weeks I'll certainly be interested.

Definitely on mine, want to see at least another week of high CBA's

 

[Meltingpot38]

He'll make a quick $80K-$110K you'd think but I have enough cash generating rookies IMO and would like to get the $ into upgrades quicker rather than tying up the $100K or so difference (from Comben to a Ramsden type) in him, as well as having to trade him out in a few rounds.

This is my thinking too.
Have Thomas, Chlosey, Graham, Brown, Sharp, Wilson so not sure I need Comden for a quick $100k

Have exact amount of cash for:
Sanders > McAuliffe (or better option, wasn’t amazing, but maybe JS is there)
Fyfe > Walsh (via Reid)

Hopefully get the jump on the comp if Walsh goes big again, but is a slight risk coming back from injury.

 

[OnTopBar]

Just casting an eye over my premium mix for the main byes and it seems I'm a bit heavy on round 12 players with 6 currently missing. Probably rules out any more of those players for now but they could well become targets after their bye. I'm pretty light on for the other rounds missing 3 in rnd13, 3 in rnd14 and 2 in rnd 15

 

[Mark Crorigan]

With Clohesy at a BE of -174 I have to wonder what the lowest BE has ever been. I've tried to search archives but haven't been able to find anything! What an incredible start to your AFL career, take a bow.

Michael Barlow in 2010 @ rookie price scored 151 and 139 after first 2 rounds
Would have been -200

 

[inwhiterooms]

Will likely spend the week deciding between Rowell, Serong or Walsh for my upgrade.

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

He burnt me in the first 2 rounds. Would definitely need to see more of that again before I'd bring him back in.

 

[Russty_]

Can we start this season again? I'd like to start with heeney, powell, gawn, steele, touk; Ryan and yeo. No

Mckercher and Gibcus or Clark to Comben and Graham.

I feel the same, am burning trades just trying to catch up and getting hammered in Leagues most weeks. Totally different feeling than having started the right ones, and the "right ones" are so expensive now.

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

Pretty vanilla trades for me this week.

Have managed to survive without Heeney and get to a ranking of 529 after the bye round, so

McKercher > Heeney
Sanders > Graham

Have to burn Sanders in order to fund the trade. Would have preferred to use Clark or Wilson. Only way I could do those 2, would be to use a 4th boost, and I ain't doing that yet. Sanders will probably come out and score a 80+ as a result.

 

[jb2626]

Really bittersweet feeling having all the cash generating rookies, who still have a fair bit of coin to make, but also needing to upgrade ASAP to keep up with the pack… decisions decisions this week

I would want to keep Sanders this week given no Libba.

Main Dogs midfield rotation could be Bont, Treloar & Sanders...
