Strategy 2024: Round 7 Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
Figured it out:
this week
In: HGarcia, Mcauliffe, Walsh
Garcia and Mcauliffe play early, but the trade out options all play late so I can figure out which 3 of 4 pending selection and if I ultimately decide Sanders is worth holding through the dip:
Out, 3/4 of Sharp, Dempsey, Sanders, Williams.
leaves ~340k in the bank for next week:
In Petracca, stewart, RGarcia
Out Dambrosio, + some combination of Lazz/Wilson/Darcy/whoever is left of the 4 above.
If I'm just short of petracca depending on cash gen from the relevant players and who i ultimately decide I want to keep, then Green is handy alternate.

One to watch to see how he performs:
Clayton Oliver - Breakeven160 - Current Price $502,100 - Total Price Change -$172,000
‘Ready to go’: Oliver backed to return to best as coach defends injury plan (foxsports.com.au)
‘Ready to go’: Oliver backed to return to best as coach defends injury plan
Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin defended the decision to wait for the club’s bye to have crucial finger surgery for Clayton Oliver despite the impact it had on his form after an already tough pre-season.
But ahead of Wednesday’s Anzac Day eve clash with Richmond, Goodwin said Oliver “embraced” the club’s call and now he’d had the work done had “got that smile on his face” again and was ready to perform against the Tigers.
Oliver, who spent time away from the club over the pre-season as he dealt with a raft of issues, carried the finger issue for three games and his waning output led to heavy criticism.
The All-Australian star wore a protective glove but was visibly hampered by the injury against the Brisbane Lions before using the 12-day break between games to have surgery it was hoped would “set him up for the rest of the season.”
On Tuesday Goodwin said that appeared to have been a success and while the criticism had to be endured, he was confident Oliver had come out the other side in the best way possible.
“There’s no question that carrying that finger for three weeks, the weight of that in the last game, especially, was getting really hard for him,” Goodwin said.
“So to get that fixed, to get him healthy and to get him functioning really well is important. And you can see once again similar to the start of the season, he’s got that smile on his face. He’s got that eagerness and that energy to come out and perform.”
Goodwin said the club never wavered on wanting to use the bye to repair the damage.
“No, it was always planned to be done in that period – it was pretty compact sort of time for our fixturing obviously so it was always planned to do that,” he said.
“Clayton was aware and embraced that that was the situation and he wanted to go down that path, so the main thing is it’s been fixed and he’s ready to go.”
The 4-2 Demons will also get back livewire Kysaiah Pickett from suspension for the MCG showdown with Richmond.

Garcia and McAullife in for Williams and Massimo. Trading Williams no matter what. With all the DPP changes I don't need him. Leaves me $487,900.
Can use my last boost and finally get a "proper" F3 if you allow me to count Powell at F2 🤭
So it would be pay up for Heeney, or get Zorko, Macrae.
Another question is who goes. Darcy, Cadman, Comben or Sexton or Coffield making Comben D7 Reid D8

Biggest reason for Butters is that I have the cash now and possibly wont have the luxury again.
I did look at Walsh and I don't dislike the trade. I could be over cautious, but back injuries are the worst. If it did flare up again, there is no set time limit. Club could say 1 or 2 weeks, then 4 weeks later it could still be 1 or 2 weeks. One of those, do I trade or hold scenarios.
Cerra back soon will also start the mid rotation merry go round.
Basically I just prefer Butters as a season long keeper to Walsh but each to there own. I have 2 more mid spots to fill and Trac will be 1 of them. The other spot will be probably one of Walsh, Dawson, Rozee, Neale, or Oliver. (On Clarry watch over the next few weeks,)

Change of plans, was going to bring in Macrae this week but there's no compelling reason to do so, just doing.....
Cadman > H Garcia
Drew > Walsh
Leaves $140k in the kick for next week, however there's a bit of a conundrum involved with next weeks trades which has to do with how this weeks teams fall.
Plan is to trade Williams, Massimo and Dempsey out but I'll be relying on R Garcia to be named to facilitate a downgrade, he's the only option available to make my other 2 trades work.
What I could do is boost this week instead of next week and bring McAuliffe in for Williams which at the very least locks away some funds. The alternative is a FD if Garcia isn't named, of course if he is named then I'll have to pass because I'll have taken McAuliffe this week. TBH I'm suss on both of then JS wise but if McAuliffe has taken Ross's spot then he's good to go for more than a few weeks.
