Strategy Round 6: Trades

[Nathan]

Maybe..
Butters->Rocky
Rozee/Collins-> Telly

Or if Downgrade looks the way may target Hurn as the upgrade as most will avoid.

Nothing has been simple so far this year (apart from ROB).

 

[Deeman1]

Burgess to Hore will now cost approx. $22K, the former with a BE around 45 and the latter -68.

Cheers THCLT, probably not worth it, but really not sure what else can be done with good old Burgo ???

 

[Connoisseur]

Unsure as yet but several players are on the chopping block (B Scott, C Burgess, J Darling, M Parker and S Collins) and have approximately 110,000. Had initially planned on trading M Parker to T Kelly via S Collins to J Hately in RD7 but could reconsider that alternative and trade J Darling to T Kelly in RD6.

Need to ensure cash generation keeps ticking over to allow avenues J Lloyd, J Macrae and P Cripps this season hopefully sooner rather than later.

It’s never that simple, but I would shy away from locking in the loss on Darling.
Understand the frustration, but would ride that out and focus on your rookies who look to be nearing their peak.

Thanks. Bottom half of the above was more in relation to my current batch of rookies rather than J Darling. Also with him possessing the same bye as my current forward premiums I Heeney and P Dangerfield and likely inclusion before rd13 of T Kelly, it will be another situation to ponder/weigh up.

Slow burn getting a game, maybe switch to Corbett when named, appears more mobile and SC friendly.

 

[quite ironic]

Darling HAS to go this week just working the best way around it and whether it’s to T.Kelly, Daniels or Walters. The trade to get it done will be 1 of 2 options at this stage:

1) Collins or Clark to Baker (leaving Baker and Drew on the field at F5 and F6)
2) Goldy to T.Kelly/Daniel (allowing Drew to go to M8 or M9 (to rotate with Constable), Setterfield to F7, O’Brien to R2 and Moore to F6.

Which is more advised?

 

[Ricky Bobby]

Interested to hear thoughts on Baker JS. Can obviously score, but will he be in the team longe enough?

 

[inwhiterooms]

I'm not sure I can stomach paying 610k for Lloyd. I just know he'll drop an 80 the week I buy him.

 

[nath_99]

I’ll be looking at potentially grabbing a < $530k Rory Laird... especially now Millera is out

 

[nath_99]

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Shiel?

 

[Nathan]

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Shiel?

Will be good for Merrett.

 

[nath_99]

Will be good for Merrett.

Both he and Merrett have tonned up 4/5 times this season. With Shiels lowest being 92 against Melb.. Merrett 560k, Sheil 511k ?

 

[JB16]

Used my first two trades last week and went a bit crazy with them. Went Gawn -> ROB (successful enough) and Balta -> Marshall (poor score but expected against Max). So still have a bit of a war chest for this week.

Looking at J Clark -> Lloyd and then possibly Scott -> Ross. Really liked the look of Ross the other night but will need to see if it’s worth a trade.
Leaves me with 2 DEF’s to upgrade, Max to come back mid season, 1 FWD. And eventually turning my Constable/Walsh/Smiths into the fallen premo mids.

I’d pay the extra no worries..and Rocky at cheaper still.

Had him last year, was inconsistent, but new team, coach and player dynamics. Going well, I'd leave on your watchlist for now.

 

[Ben's Beasts]

At this stage I’m thinking:

IN: Rocky and Baker

OUT: Collins/Andrews if out for weeks and ???

 

[anfa18]

Andrews > Laird or Daniel via dpp
Parker > Baker

Go 1.

2 doesn’t seem worthwhile considering you’ll be taking one of Drew/Constable who are both good scorers. Not worth the trade imo, but still available at a latter date I guess.

Gibbs has gone to HB instead
