Strategy Round 2: Trades

[blue dreamer]

Newman?

Newman has not left my team since I registered

I can’t believe that people are actually considering trading Danger out after a 97.

Don't get me wrong, Danger is still clearly the number 1 forward by my reckoning as I said and fits the bill as both an accumulator and contested player, but it would be remiss to not consider the possibility that he won't have that 20/25 point gap over the next best, especially with the way Geelong structured their midfield on Friday night. It's less about Danger underperforming than it is about getting on the bolters.

Nothing's set in stone yet and it's not a decision that has to be made right now but I think it's important to be open minded about all possibilities early in the year, which is something I have personally struggled with in the past.

finally ?

I think Scott has hinted enough over the last few months that for Geelong to go forward they need less reliance on the holy trinity as their midfield mainstays

Can we just start again?
Happy with most of the rookie choices in fairness, just disappointed in the players I’ve earmarked as keepers.
Had Bont and Hoff in my team and changed them both to Oliver and Heeny, was worried about their consistency.
Prob hold fire on my premium choices, it’s a long season, and those trades will be worth more later.

 

[team_dog]

Very tempting to go early on this trade this week
Olive to sheed
Smith to Lloyd

Lloyd is a must have in the backline if I don’t get him now then it will be very hard to get him in before the byes

 

[Yasi]

Rocky + Sheed = $800k

Oliver and Walsh into Rocky + sheed. Followed by season long regrets

 

[MarkM]

Billings scored 133 in round 1 last year.

That is all.

 

[Santoz]

Collins out.

Parker in via Moore DPP.

 

[Herbie66]

Collins out.

Parker in via Moore DPP.

wow after 1/4

 

[manyproblems]

I've seen enough. Out Steele in Rockliff. Saints can't win in the middle with whoever they have rucking.

 

[Leroy]

A little of A, a little of B I reckon.

I can do Steele and Collins for Rockliff and Worpel with $100 left over. Feels like destiny.

Sign me up

Steele > Rocky

Simples

 

[Santoz]

wow after 1/4

Collins might not be in double figures at HT.

 

[Eagling]

Tempting to go Steele to Gibbons and Collins to Lloyd, without checking if the maths work.

 

[Herbie66]

see if he can beat Balta , pity (like most) I have Collins onfield.

98 against 2018 Grand Finalist as a forward.......... I will take that as his floor.

upside if he does get mid time which he didn't get last year either in the first few games.

Sensible, just give it some time. Naughton scored 25 last year in game 1, many traded him out, went on to make $150k.

Yeah I'm one to conserve trades, but it's never nice to go below 2000, especially in round 1, which is looking very possible now, and someone must be punished with exile.

 

[Tamuhawk]

One of Balta/Burgess to Parker.

 

[Bomber18]

I'm keen to dump Collins as well. What a mess!
