Strategy Round 2: Trades
- Thread starter IDIG
- Start date
Geez 2 games in and this thread pops up...
Half of my teams only had 2/3 600k+ players and every time i removed one it was Danger. Although 95 odd is passable, I think the Cats are very Dogs and Tigers of 2016/17. I feel the Cats are going full throttle for a flag this year and every player will be making the most team orientated choice. It seems like a big call, but they have so many players to fill midfield rolls (Danger, Ablett, J.Selwood, Duncan, Menegola, Kelly, Dahlhaus, S.Selwood etc) and that's not mentioning the kids coming through. Added to that, when necessary most of them have shown to be dangerous up forward when "resting".
Round 1 showed their potential with Ablett kicking 2, Constable, Dahlhaus, Duncan, Danger and Selwood kicking 1 each. Very midfield centric even if Ablett/Danger are playing forward more. I had the Cats 6th-12th this year, but they look dangerous, maybe it's a very early call but 4th-8th is my early impression. Maybe Pies have GF loss fever, but the Cats seemed up for the fight and were hungry.
Anyway, to this thread. 700k Grundy out?

The 6 new players all made a difference, I think their main problem last year was there bottom third players.
GAJ is now just a role player, there aint much bigger luxury.
On Grundy, his scoreline is okay, 14 contested, 55% D/E and 5 FA killed him. He doesnt have to play that well to score well, e.g. the GF. Reassess Grundy before price changes, but I'm not sure what the play is if he drops a 60 next week. Pendlebury mentioned in an interview he thinks Grundy will go to another level this year, if there is such a level anyway. Probably ride this one out.
Hopefully no trades, have forgone the WC rookies, Collins and Burgess so see what happens with them.

Yes Danger (and Geelong) will be interesting to monitor.
The majority here have the view it is Danger so you just pick him , at his price I would be wanting more than a 95.
Interesting that people could build cases for not starting Grundy & Gawn and hopefully wait for them to drop off and then pick them up cheaper , but not Danger.
And yes I am sure he will still be a Top Forward be interesting now if he is 95-105 or 106-115 + which most automatically think.
No doubt next week he will punch out a 175+

Reduced pre-season and a reasonable history of working into the season.
- 2018 – dropped 20k after round 8, averaged 98.9 after that (season average: 95.8)
- 2017 – dropped 70k after round 10, averaged 88.9 after that (season average: 82.8)
- 2016 – dropped 70k after round 5, averaged 91.6 after that (season average: 86.0)
