Strategy Round 5: Trades

[Pieman17]

Thoughts on these trades?

Parker to ROB
Butters to Stack

???

Like them.

 

[Tamuhawk]

I am a Sydney owner already

So rich you could afford to buy a city. Jealous.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Could do either of these this week:

1. Butters & Parker to ROB & Marshall
2. Butters & Parker/Setterfield to ROB & Stack

First option leaves me with Drew F6, Pettrucelle F7 and Bines F8 with Setters on mid bench
Second leaves me Setterfield/Parker F7 and Bines F8

Anyone have any thoughts?

Option 1 gets a rookie off the field. So that one.

Basically my trades... how did you know?

 

[Tamuhawk]

Need help. Which trade is better?

A. Crisp to Lloyd (O’Brien R2)
or
B. Balta/Setterfield to Mummy (O’Brien R3)

Very tough one. Personally I would want to keep Crisp and I'm not sold on ROB being onfield. Mummy would be a great pick with ROB being handy backup. So option B.

 

[NT.Thunder]

I’m surprised you’re into Marshall. He doesnt seem like a pick you’d generally make.

True - only his current role has me intrigued. Ive got my concerns though and was close last week but hard to ignore his numbers.

Really wanted to see him against McEvoy last week.

Fielding 2 rookies forward is also killing me.

I think I like A better because Lloyd is a legit top 6 DEF by the looks, whereas I'm assuming you'll be trading Mumford out at some later stage? Thus will have to have an extra trade. I like the fact you have have cover behind him in the form of O'Brien for that B choice though.

Crisp's chance of being a top DEF ROS are fairly low IMO, not because of his actual play but the fact he's impacted by the new rules.

Does either choice leave you with more cash?

Crisp to Lloyd leaves me with 220k
Balta to Mummy leaves me with 150k

I feel Crisp might just fall short of that top 10 range.

The main concern with trading Mummy in is that I will be left with Bines and Setterfield/Balta on the bench with Rozee,Parker and Drew all on field. Could be ugly.

 

[BlufBlufShuv]

Crisp to Lloyd leaves me with 220k
Balta to Mummy leaves me with 150k

Well I'm definitely leaning A then, and this is from someone who is seriously looking to trade Mumford in this week. Option A is basically another upgrade for almost certain whereas B you could be left short for certain premos. Yes there are possible points loss with Mumford likely to score more week to week but he's no certainty to make the byes without missing at least one game, and ROB you should have traded out to a premo before the byes anyway.

Obviously in either circumstance you'll have a plan to move either O'Brien or Mumford on at some stage.

Good luck whatever path you choose

Thanks, appreciate your thoughts

If you could trade in any FWD premo, who would you get (aside from Danger, Heeney, and Darling)?

I'm turfing Dunkley and it feels like all the options aren't that attractive. Boak- overpriced. Gray, Kelly, Menegola, D Smith, Gunston- haven't bottomed out yet. Gresham, Billings, Daniel- probably traps. Marshal and various others- not for me.

This feels like a purportedly hungry diner turning up his nose at everything the chef offers him. Given your restrictions I think all that's left is a kpp punt. If it has to be this week then tj lynch.

Same problem I had when looking to trade out Dunkley. Wouldn’t be 100% confident on any of them so have decided to hold.

Would go Gray if my hands were tied.

I know, I'm just looking at what's on offer and coming up blank. Daniel's probably the favourite at the moment, but a sample size of one game in which Johanissen hasn't affected his scoring isn't much to go on.

Yeah, I have thought about holding him in hope of a decent score against Carlton and getting Stack instead.

J Dunkley:
Last match against Carlton was a 157 in RD22 2018.

 

[Slacker]

What are you planning to do?

Not decided as yet, but with no confidence I will probably keep him and just accept whatever happens now and move on, but team selections this week will probably also dictate somewhat.
At this stage I'm leaning towards Balta out and Hoff fwd, and ROB in as R2, or, possibly, cut and run and just go Westhoff to ROB at R2.
Having already done Pierce to Westhoff, to then go Westhoff to ROB just seems more wasteful than keeping Westy and hoping he can improve a bit...a lot of the damage has already been done, so got to be careful not to compound it with a rash, emotional decision. Good Luck.

 

[BlufBlufShuv]

You people who are trading in Stack, who are you trading him out for?

Leave Dunkley then, him churning out 80 odd a week isn't ideal but it's not a complete disaster.

 

[Zimmer]

I would definitely trade this week, you have to take the good second wave rookies when they present, in my view.

Personally I would just cut Setterfield to bring in ROB, and cut Butters to get your favourite out of Stack or Hore. I'm thinking Stack may be the better option for JS, albeit that Hore competing with Lewis etc for a spot this week may clarify his JS somewhat for us before you need to decide. I think Scott is worth keeping if he's back this week, as I expect he will be - versus Setterfield he has a higher average, lower price and is at least available to play the next two weeks.

The only real advantages of Setterfield appear to be his DPP (not much use in the forward line for now, and you already have Bines as a donut) and the fact that he is a warm body that is forward eligible and playing, when not suspended.

Also worth considering whether you can do one trade to get ROB when needed and then finesse the timing of the other so you have extra info by that stage. I haven't checked game sequencing but it may be worth a look.

Setterfield to ROB is what I'm considering. Two weeks out, and if form continues won't generate that much more cash. I can't see the point in keeping him.

Hore and Stack also interest me, so it would either be J. Clark to Hore, or Scott/Atkins/Butters to Stack.

Can't work out what to do, but the Setterfield > ROB seems straightforward.

Any advice? Have only used one trade so far.
