Strategy 2024: Round 7 Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
And it's only Monday 
My team isn't ideal at the moment but I am "only" 786 points off the leader so might still be in contention for winning the whole thing 😀😉
Just need to be smart with the cash I have and hopefully make the right choices
Dare to dream
Why you been so obsessed with May?
I mean he is alright but...injury prone....not tier 1....
I am not an SC'er's A****, but i really think you should rethink those trades and aim for guns over middle of the road picks, best of luck mate!

Although many have mentioned how easy it will be to complete teams with ultra premiums , I certainly don't see it for my team hence why I was looking at him.
Now hoping to get Sicily & Stewart in upcoming rounds instead (to add to Daicos , Houston & Sheezel) so hoping Roberts can do the job of D6 as long as possible.
Similarly H Reid will be F6 for as long as possible with (J Cameron , Flanders , Heeney , Jackson , Powell).
Hopefully downgrade options appear in the next 3-4 rounds for Brown , Cadman & Wilson and then that cash upgrades Clohesy , Comben & Graham to best possible players.
Sharp is the missing piece of the puzzle at the moment and what I do with him (so many premium mids about to/are falling in price but will they be affordable at the right price at the right time)
I think you need to put more trust in decent rookies randomly emerging from nowhere down the track that will help you reach the Top 8 quality premiums.
Like who was talking about Clohesy or Will Graham 3 weeks ago? Now suddenly everyone owns them and they will likely make 350K+ that we can inject into our teams.
I just reckon you should still chase top 8 quality value like Walsh, Petracca, Stewart, Green, English, Marshall etc. instead of waving the white flag early and making compromises with May/Adams type picks. If you do need to make a big compromise with Steven May down the track, do it when you actually have no funds - rather than anticipating you will have no funds.
That is just my 2 cents.

Appreciate your reply
Certainly not waving the white flag , just exploring different options , with available cash.
Hopefully I have worked out a plan to get Sicily & Stewart in over the next few rounds.
Now waiting to see what Petracca scores Wednesday night and seeing how that reflects his future price and projections v bringing in Walsh (or Dawson/Sicily) this round instead of waiting another 2 rounds for Green.
Sharp is the player that will be upgraded.
Think there was half a dozen or so rookie priced players named in the Emergencies last round so hopefully they will appear for downgrades , I don't track the VFL , SANFL or WAFL so no idea of what their scoring capabilities could be like
Just need Clohesy , Comben and Graham to increase in price as much as they can before they then need upgrading , so hopefully they keep performing for at least the next 5 rounds.
If I can get to Round 12 with those 3 onfield + Reid & Roberts requiring upgrading I will be pretty content.

There is always a risk that rookies run out of petrol tickets towards the back end of their first afl season, but equally Daicos and Sheezel certainly held it together in their first years and you have to put Reid in that class (albeit getting a few more bruises along the way compared to playing in a HB role).
Right now I'm treating him as my last upgrade, and hoping that somehow the premium forwards sort themselves out through injury providing opportunity or a lucky break DPP

Personally I'm willing to wait a week and pay a little more to see if he can back it up. He had a huge game vs the bombers and a lot of what he did looked super positive, but prior to that he looked very on the nose. BE of 73 means he probably won't go up heaps (a 105 score only sees him go up $15k) so it's not a pressing need this week - pay a $20k or so tax to see him show he's truly back.
