Strategy Round 5: Trades

- Start date
So Setterfield and O'Brien don't play until Sunday so I was leaving my trade until then... somehow slipped my mind that I had to factor Bines in the DPP swap... now I have no way of getting O'Brien in unless I trade Gawn...

Think only one trade for me after had a real good look about two trades. First trade will do Sunday as it only involves trading or switching players involved in the Crows v Gold Coast game. Burgess the most likely trade out, Caleb Graham from ruck bench to backline bench where Burgess was and O'Brien into the ruck bench to moo there. Looked seriously into Stack and in a lot of ways I want him but due combination of other rookie mids around plus needing to hold a trade up sleeve for crazy weekend of possible late changes I am not going to do that second trade today that looked like being Tobe Watson to Stack which would need to be done before Fremantle play in early Saturday game.
Setterfield is there to traded if really needs be as back up for any late outs or if Burgess for some reason needs to be shifted forward and Setterfield traded for O'Brien. But at this stage Burgess for O'Brien is the preference. So if for any reasons a second trade is needed it will be done before the O'Brien trade I am committed to bringing in.

I got a little weird on the trade table in the end.
Gawn to Mumford
Bines to ROB
Gawn has looked just a little off to my eye this year. If Mumford can go somewhere close to Gawn’s scoring and I can put the 300k saving to good use then this double move could pay off. Risky as hell but feels fun. Hoping Mummy feasts on Lobb this week

Well done to you, it's a tough mental step to cut SC player's like a Westhoff and move on. Good luck
As for me, my decision was somewhat dictated by the number of trades I've used and trying to factor in the opportunity cost of making another trade revolving around just one playing position. So the Hoff went to my forward bench with the 'E' and will now come on in lieu of Balta this round whom I want to keep a tad longer. As I alluded to in another post re Boak, he was the one I considered and nearly upgraded Westhoff to, but I already have another upgrade route for him and wanted to give ROB a crack.
I feel I may have just kicked the can down the road a bit, but, I've also learnt there are situations where it's best to sit on your hands for a while and I pray this is one. Cheers.
