Strategy 2024: Round 6 Trades

[OnTopBar]

Does Cadman to Nyuon get you the cash you need to move Clark or one of the lower priced rookies? I was bringing in Comben but am having second thoughts now. Clearly he will make cash and you are taking a risk going to Nyuon early. But for me trading is about getting the cash and improving your team asap. So Nyuon could make just as much as Comben and you have the benefit (subject to picking the right upgrade) of getting a better scoring player earlier. Nyuon would also get D/F at the second DPP change while Comben gets it after this game.

It's now or never on Comben IMO, Nyuon facilitates another upgrade next week when he's on the bubble, Comben slots nicely into F6 for me. Pretty much team specific trade ins.

 

[OnTopBar]

only one that you could upgrade from is grundy, rest would all be sideways which i think isnt worth at this point in the year

sheezel green heeney powell are likely all keepers. not convinced whitfield is top 6 with how reliant he is on loose balls

most people would be in the same situation with around 4-6 premos off rd12. just important to factor it in when you decide which rookies to bring in as youd want at least 21 players playing that round

Trading Grundy sooner rather than later is the way to go, I've budgeted for him to be upgraded so it's smarter to get those extra points over 16 rounds rather than 7.

Done a little interesting comparison on team value from this year compared to prior years for my team and have found it very interesting.

2024 - $12,363m
2023 - $11,485m
2022 - $11,903m
2021 - $11,125m
2020 - $11,399m

Think this may have to do with the amount of trade I've used to this point as well.

2024 - 11
2023 - 6
2022 - 4
2021 - 4
2020 - 11

Is this consistent with what others are seeing with cash gen being higher for their team this year? The extra trades used is a part of it but thinking this means we might be able to finish our teams quicker than normal.

Maybe round 0 had something to do with it?

I think its pretty risky to pass on a guy that has the capacity to pump out a 129 in a tough matchup at that price personally been a little surprised how many people are fading, on the weekend could have easily been a 90 aswell, dropped a pretty simple intercept mark and had a woeful clanger that led to a goal, one more ceiling game and non owners will be in real trouble, run of Hawks,Crows and Saints with 2 under the roof in perfect conditions is alot easier than the matches to date also.

You could argue Comben's 2 games this season so far are actually better conditions for an intercepter though given how narrow Norwood & Kardinia Park are...

I'm pro-Comben FWIW, but I'm not necessarily banking on Marvel being better for him.

Surely it's Rd 0 related. You're not comparing apples with apples.

 

[Hondo]

Only way I can fund the Heeney/Merrett trade is with a player like Sanders/Roberts/Dempsey, etc Would rather a Clark, but can't afford it.

Comden is value, but might be worth saving the boost. That's the hard decision

If the premium you are targeting is also going up in value then you don't need to worry so much about missing that last $50K on the rookie. We can never get that max point perfectly timed. So if you need to cull say Dempsey coming off a 56 then do it.

 

[donnybuang]

Clark, Mckercher and Carroll on the block this week

Clark goes due to his terrible BE comparative to his performance so far and likelihood of losing cash in coming weeks.

So,

Clark > Graham
King > Comben

More trades and boosts, round 0 and what I think is a better selection of rookies for cash cows this season.

Edit: had a look at my own numbers and notice I was doing better in 2020 at the same time for team value than I am this season. Probably explains why I did so well that year (and so poorly now).

 

[Old Big 'Ead]

I am also in the top 1% and don't own Heeney (traded him out before his bye). I am not planning on getting him back until after his rnd 12 bye. yes it is a risk but to win the whole thing you need to be a little bit different. i'm betting/hoping that Heeney slows down with Adams and Parker back and Guldon picking up his points output too. between rnd 5-12 he has 2 byes so only plays 6 of 8 games whereas Rowell who i traded him for plays 8.

Yes, forgot about the Rd 12 bye. May look at value then and get rid of Clark instead.

Merrett next week with a bigger downgrade to utilise.

 

[Maccas marvels]

My original thoughts this week were...

McKercher & Sanders > Graham & Heeney

However, with some advice on here, I have started to think about using a 4th boost, and moving on Cadman > Comben as well.

Am in the Top 1%, and 93.9% of Top 1% own Heeney, hence the reason I was thinking of getting him, and the fact he has a BE of 50. Do we think the inclusion of Adams, and Parker back in the next week or two, will have that bigger impact to drop his scoring to a 110 average, and if so, is it best to wait until his price comes down?

Dilemma for this week, an would like some insights on what people think.

- Use 4th boost - is that too much at this time of season?
- If I use the boost, do I go Heeney with his inflated price, and the risk of his price dropping?
- I could use the boost and bring Merrett instead, who has an easy draw coming up?
- Do I just go for a player of value (ie. Miller, etc)

Whatever trades I use, this will leave me with little funds, meaning I will have to use downgrades of Dempsey, Sharp, Massmio, Roberts next week in order to fund anymore upgrades.

Team doesn't include Heeney, Merrett, Bont, English, Marshall, and Butters, all of who are possible targets for the future, but funding means the sacrifice of some decent rookies.

Appreciate the assistance

I can’t foresee Heeneys run continuing so you are paying overs for him if you bring him in…
The key to this however is his role in the forward line and getting rookies off field….right now in the fwds there really isn’t anyone in a similar vein of form…so I would suggest getting him in to o***et the other teams around you…

A sneaky move could be moving him on later if he gets close to $700k….which could happen in the next few weeks.

Great play. You have to take the risk of crashing if you want to fly. Hope it works for you.

He could be $700k in 2 weeks time, it would be a ballsy move to trade him to Clarry who's come good after his hand has healed and he's up to match fitness. That's an immediate upgrade of a $380k rookie to an uber premo as well. Buy him back for $560k with a MP upgrade after his bye.

Exactly right….it’s something I’m considering in order to bring in even Petracca plus $120k to upgrade a Williams/ Fyfe type to a mid premium before round 12…

I'm going to run the trade costs and numbers over the next 2 weeks or so, but it's essentially adding another $370k rookie into the mix, ie: the $250k released from his trade and early on in the season that's a huge leg up on the comp.

I have an issue with round 12 having 6 premos out, trading Heeney and Grundy would alleviate that too.

*Edit... I've been eying off Petracca too, he's certainly an option along with an upgrade of Grundy to Marshall which I was planning to do anyway, The worry is that Petracca has the Tigers next game and could well punch out a 160, along with Clarry looking the goods

It’s worth a go given your so close to the top….i am not far behind and strongly considering such a left field move.good luck whichever way you choose to go….

isn't that magoos?

Nah, not close, one of the reasons that I'll consider it. Good luck to you too

 

[Woodsey]

Playing devils advocate and I’m actually in the pro Comben camp but we suck and have no legitimate tall defenders.

There is a chance that he is parked in the goal square on the gorillas and throws out some low scores. McKay only averaged 62 as our key defender last year and is also known for his intercepting. Needs to Ave 75 to be a decent pick.

I have decided I am going to fade Heeney, and go for a double down this round, considering it is a best 18 round.

Clark & McKercher > Graham & Comben

This will leave me with $312k - aim next week is to do a double upgrade, single downgrade - Jackson > Marshall/English, and upgrade Dempsey/Sharp/Roberts/Cadman/Sanders/Massimo to Merret, with a boost of one of those down to Drury/Nyuon to fund the upgrade.
