Strategy 2024: Round 8 Trades

[Yasi]

Zerrett or Rowell to trade in ?

Zerrett was in less that 11% of teams before this round whilst Rowell was in 21%. I’d be backing the better POD with the established history of top 10 mid finishes. (but both great options).

Well, I've traded in Zerrett fwiw.

Grundy>Sweet
LOCK IT IN EDDIE!

Also don't think there is anything wrong with getting rid of Naismith for Sweet if you don't want to upgrade Grundy soon to say English (which is a good option) and you don't need the money required this week by a downgrade.

Thanks very much for your input, greatly appreciated.

Need a quick straw poll before the bounce haha - Dale ($450k) / Dawson ($560k) / Merrett ($640k)

Head says Merrett as he has been super reliable, Dawson only 2 good games for the year, but is he back? Dale obviously saves a ton of cash to upgrade elsewhere, but burns a trade to upgrade him in the future?

Dale but only because of price. Dawson has a tough run before the byes. Merett at $650k is usually what you would pay for a perma captain.

Fourth option is Nic Martin @ $580k - does he still present value? Playing West Coast this week too...

Dawson for me

First trade done….Sharp to Sweet into R3… If Sweet scores 110 plus will move Livingston into R2 …

Breakeven for 114 so won’t go up or down too much if you don’t get him this week…
is currently 6th or 7th defender at present for averages…

 

[Gruffles]

Final trades: Powell>Laird & Dempsey>Sweet.

Going to take a risk on Laird over Dawson although I like them both.
I think Powell will have a good game against the beaten up saints, hoping for under a 100
and hope that it pans out for me long term.

Best of luck to all, let the football fall in your favour!

 

[Woodsey]

Pulled the trigger Crouch, Massimo & Roberts out for Zerrett, Green & Rigers. Was umming and aaahing about crouch out all week but with 3 boosts left may as well.

J Cameron likely next week after the May/Lever combo.

 

[Feerits Elf]

Anybody passing on both Rogers and R Garcia? With all these rookies on the horizon I’m not sure young small forwards are the way to go

Yep, boosts all gone. 1 up 1 down from here, Sweet a must have...

 

[PlaymakerX]

Looking at my team after 1 trade which was Nyugon to Sweet, who would be best to trade in out of:
Option 1 - Serong ($621,000)
Option 2 - Gawn ($710,500)
Option 3 - Dawson ($558,200)

I feel like I've leaked enough points on Gawn up until this point, and feel I don't want to pay up the $700k+ after already failing starting English at this price...

Serong is consistent but Dawson represents value at the price. Not sure on the role though moving forward...

 

[RoyalBlue]

Ended up doing:
Meek > Sweet
Cadman > Flanders
D'Ambrosio > Laird

Upgrade season feels good. Even better with the amount of rookies coming over the next couple of weeks. Should be close to full premo in three weeks.

Yeah passing on them both…next weeks crop much more enticing

They're far from premiership favourites but WC at home is not the lay down misere it once was

 

[XabiFernando]

Enticing enough to go early? I'm somewhat committed to Rogers to facilitate Bont in

 

[Russty_]

Yep, wish I'd passed on the other Garcia also.

Good trades there.
