Strategy Round 2: Trades
- Thread starter IDIG
- Start date
Considering a trade this week, because I feel like next week we're going to want to make 3.
Collins looks like he is going to stink it up - serious consideration being given to correcting him a week early.
I also am considering Darling to Worpel - I think Worpel is going to pull an Oliver. Will wait a week on that though.

Collins needs fixing, and I think Sheed needs to be considered too.
Every fibre in my body tells me it's stupid but I'm considering Dusty - Sheed & Collins - Newman. Leaves me a tad exposed with Rocky & Sheed at M4/5 but will allow me to keep my options open next week if Grundy and Gawn flop again.
Round 2 trades are just as important as Round 3 trades IMO and I think many coaches are unnecessarily opposed to them a lot of the time.

Went with both Selwood and Pendles to start as mid POD’s, but looking as though I’ll regret not taking Fyfe. Other premo mids are Coniglio and MCrouch, happy with both, then Taranto and BCrouch as my mid-pricer-ish m5/6, Walsh and Constable m7/8. Hated the look of Heeney up forward and regret following the herd selecting him, bit the bullet and traded down to Worpedo who I think could be a breakout with Titch’s leg issue. I have the cash to upgrade one of Pendles/Selwood to Fyfe, which one should I trade up or should I stick fat and consider my options next week?

Haven’t spent much time on SC this year, literally only on Friday did I really put my team together. Started with a 1-1-6 down back, with Laird as the premo and Williams as the mid-pricer. I am confident in these two but I’m not sure after the weekend that I will be able to carry both Collins and Scrimshaw on-field with Burgess on the bench. Especially Collins as he seems to be playing more of a lockdown role than I thought he might be. So I am considering getting rid of Miles from M6 (tough on him lol) for Atkins (will start on bench) and using the cash to upgrade Collins to Andrews. Basically a restructure.
My other concern is Zach Merrett, who had a shocker yesterday but the same goes for about 20 other Bomber players yesterday. He couldn’t get near it. Will give him this week to see how he goes, otherwise he becomes MCrouch or Sloane (both of whom were in my team till Saturday afternoon).

Tempted to go early on Balta > Parker, but not sure yet
Would also like to Rage sideways Oliver > Fyfe, but feels like chasing last weeks points
Can Rocky, Sheed, Worpel continue to score well? If so, might need to find a clever way to get one of them into my team (but which one?)

Sheed - announces himself last final series and continued in JLT and now season proper (contested numbers have exploded)
Worpel - clear role and only has to meet FWD keeper levels
Going to be hard to stop at 1 ! Oliver down to one of em and Walsh up to another perhaps
The watch Brouch come out and smash 150 against Sydney whilst Sloane gets tagged ...

My finger is hovering over Collins , no idea what happens to Joyce/Wilkie if Brown comes back in + Marsh & Rowe in the mix.
If Balta & Gibbons keep playing happy to ride them out , Burgess stays as long as I have Moore.
Shaw , Kennedy & Zac Attack are all fighting for the same points , although Essendon were woeful , Whitfield is better coming off HBF.
Heeney , Mundy & Darling are on notice.
And Walsh is currently my M10 , lot of $$$ if he scores 60-70's.
Interesting few days

Do you say that because you're worried about having enough rookies who will continue to play? Jordan Clark, Duursma, Hore, Scrimshaw, Joyce and Wilkie don't have enough job security you reckon? Same thing applies to the forward line as well, but it would be interesting to get your take.
I moved Naughton to Bonner last year so I want to make sure I don't make another pointless and wasteful trade again if I go Collins to Ridley as opposed to Collins to another rookie

Brown will come in this week - I reckon for Joyce so Wilkie will survive another week. I don't rate his job security at all though. I wouldn't be trading him in. If he plays well this week then he probably buys himself a bit my time in the side and might be a good correction for Collins, Burgess types but definitely not a trade option for this round imo.
