Strategy Round 10: Trades

[Grundogging]

Can't see your full team; from what's there Moore for Young then Constable for Lloyd via Answerth?

Sorry - last two forwards are Baker and Larkey.




Still not sure who to go one-down from or to - and thoughts would be appreciated.

 

[scarfaceclaw]

ROB to Boak via Bines.
Hanley to Whitfield.

Still no emergencies! No donuts yet!

Any reason you're not upgrading elsewhere? Mumford>Grundy R14 seems logical.

The “It's Time” factor. Grundy has a B/E of 106 in price and is probably on the way up in price again and while Mumford's is low-ish at 76 he’s probably only going to gain no more than $10k.

The not-Grundy effect is also a big boat anchor negative POD in my squad, I think we've got a clear enough sample size to conclude Grundy and Gawn are the clear top two rucks this season (by a minimum 20/game on average) so I might as well bite the bullet and do it now.

It’s also the perfect night to VC him given he’s playing on a Friday night.

Anyone give Shane Edwards from Richmond a look?Looking for a cheaper foward option.$395,100. Seems to be playing across half back last two games. Last game against the hawks 27 possessions 7 marks scored 108 points. 85% of his disposals in the back half.

Can someone please explain to me what ‘painting the fence’ is?

I google defined it and I recommend no one else to do that.

I’d not heard it before coming here but assume it’s a reference to the karate kid when miyagi is teaching Daniel to ‘paint the fence’. Up! Down!

 

[Eagling]

Is it better to trade Z. Williams this week but have to VC either Heeney or Lloyd and no one else, or keep him and hope the niggle is minor, opening up Saturday for VC options but lose Walsh at M8 and field Stack instead?

Half my team is out and I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions appreciated

ROB is a waste at R3 , cash him out and use his money gained.

ROB - > Young
Drew/Moore - > Premium

 

[NT.Thunder]

Quick one, anyone know when Moore is due back

Possibly Moore and ROB out for a forward (Bines to Ruck) and Defender (or mid if you move Duursma to defence) who can play. I'd look at Young and then maybe a premo mid like Cunnington or a defensive premo like Lloyd.

If all else fails, foetal position and cry.

 

[Slacker]

Massive decision to make: who Do I trade in out of Neale or Whitfield?

Will Whitfield get tagged to 61 by Melbourne like last year? I suspect they most likely will try to again.
Edit : I fear for Josh as well. One or the other, or maybe both !

Trade O’Brien out via Bines (Ruck) to Young
Trade Crouch out to a premo and bank the remaining cash as your rookies too short to get you to a premium

The big issue is the midfield bench - you might eat a doughnut there.

One move might be to trade ROB to Robbie Young and remove the doughnut in the forward line, and then either upgrade one of the bench midfielders with the cash, perhaps to Lloyd via Answerth if you have about $80k in the bank.

He'll be the highest scorer tomorrow night's game - bookmark it!

Team is a bit of a shambles this week. Crouch, Williams and Danger all out. Hayes and Setterfield dropped.

Moore > Young, Walsh > Macrae.

Tough to decide who goes first out of Walsh and Libba. Think Libba has just a bit higher of a ceiling though, and a lower BE. Hopefully pulls out a surprise 120 this week to kickstart his price movement again.

 

[Darkie]

I don't think there's much crossover between Parker and Young - Parker is supposed to be a 3rd tall type while Young is more your small-fwd pressure type who actually is playing closer to the center square as a flanker (which will hopefully help his scoring in coming weeks).

Young is definitely a risk to go early on, but he has one big thing going in his favour: his team is playing an out-of-form Blues this weekend. He's also named on the field in a team that isn't competing for finals and is thus looking to blood some young talent ROS, unlike, say, the much better scoring Hately at GWS. Of the current crop of 2nd gamers for me Young has the best JS; I'd like to reiterate though he definitely has risk so buyer beware etc.

Edit: Young going into his second game obviously.

Very helpful, thank you!!

I’d be pretty confident next week but personally trading him myself.

Yeah I probably would also but not confident to go early on anyone for the downgrade

 

[jaca]

Too sideways to go:

Mrouch/Williams you Jelly/Lloyd?

Feels both are upgrades, albeit a luxury.

I'm inclined to believe posters here that Williams might be a 4-5 week injury rather than 1-2 so trading him is probably wise.

Would probably keep Matt Crouch.
