Strategy Round 13: Trades

[randomcliche]

View attachment 9478
Will be down to single figure trades as I'll be making 3 this week but would greatly appreciate thoughts on which plan to execute this round.

1.
RD13: Out: T Atkins, L Baker, N Answerth, In: B Bewley, J Dunkley, R Gray (via W Setterfield)

Setterfield will then likely make way for D Clarke assuming he is on the bubble in RD14 with the money to be utilised in either upgrading Duursma to Sicily/Hurn in RD15 onwards or T Goldstein to M Gawn from RD15 onwards.
O Baker will be traded for a fwd/mid basement rookie loop and Burgess will likely be traded to a fwd/mid (Mundy/Menegola/etc) via a potential Duursma to Naish trade.

2.
RD13: Out: T Atkins, N Answerth, B Smith, In: D Clarke, R Gray, L Ryan/J Sicily
J Sicily would provide sufficient cash to trade L Baker to Dunkley next week via a downgrade to Hately via Setterfield whereas the Ryan trade will mean I'll likely fall short but still have the luxury of fielding 18. Future planned trades will be the same as mentioned above.

Therefore it's either finish the fwds, grab Bewley and Clarke over the remaining bye period, hold B Smith for 1 more round to reassess
or keep Baker for 1 more round, trade Smith and defs near completion, grab D Clarke and J Hately as my M9-10.

You def could do with 2 of Sicily, Hurn, Whitfield for Smith and hore in due course, no rush although Sicily is cheap.
Your mids are great! Well done.
Rucks well a goldy to Grundy for r16
Forwards is the most urgent.
I would start with Atkins and Answerth into Dunkley and Bewley. Then you can do Hore to downgrade and build cash for Grundy next round or so. Or go the same three out for Sicily Boak Bewley. Both of these options get you 18 this round.

Thanks.

Already have Grundy as I'm missing Gawn. Will trade B Smith this round or next for 1 of J Sicily/L Ryan. Still unsure how I will utilise Hore and Duursma but would prefer to keep both longer whilst their breakevens are still low whilst allowing S Hurn to drop.

Clearly A imo, 2-0

Sicily over Ryan feels very 50/50 to me. I almost prefer Ryan if the 30k isn’t a huge issue

Agree there's not a heap in it but personally I'd take Sicily over Ryan even if they cost the same, so the fact he's cheaper makes it easy.

Yeah, I’m probably letting my hate for Sicily get in the way a little. Still feel like a Sicily brainfade is imminent, so there’s that.

Ryan’s ceiling is seriously massive too. Leaning towards taking him as it won’t effect my final upgrade for M8, will have cash for Josh Kelly regardless.

I am considering Ryan this week too (already have Sicily) so certainly don't want to be in the anti-Ryan club. I am tempted by his ceiling but always a bit scary bringing in a high-variance player who is already going well above their previous best. I think the kick-outs boost him enough to cancel out that worry but still a nagging concern.

I'm facing a dilemma familiar to a few...

1. Get Boak, but it likely compromises my future premo mid - giving me about c. 450 to spend on my final mid in R15 (would be a Mrouch type)
2. Get Gray, leaving me c.550 to spend on a mid in R15 (Could be a few options)
3. Or, I can go for a someone in between (Daniel, Marshall, Rocky) and split the difference
4 . Pick up Bont now as my M8 and choose a sub 430k FWD in R15.

Team after R14 into R15 with unknowns in X:

D: Lloyd, Sicily, Hurn, Laird, Williams, Andrews (R, R)
M: Cripps, Fyfe, Macrae, Neale, Zerrett, Oliver, Cogs, X (R, R, R)
R: Gawn, Grundy (Bines)
F: Dunkley, Danger, Telly, Heeney, Worpel, X (R, R)

 

[Herbie66]

Change of thinking again ?

Mummy to Robbie Gray for less than 20k is good enough for me

7 out of 11 at AO , not sure why people keep saying he is not playing enough mid time this season (don't know how to find CBA's) but every game I have watched him play he has always been part of the second mid rotation if not starting mid.

Think the biggest change is Ring A Ring has taken more of his forward space.

Plus he is my favourite non-Collingwood player to watch , so may as well try and enjoy the remainder of the SC season.

Crouch can wait until after his Bye.

Well perhaps just the first two trades of Atkins and Answerth for Bewley and dunkley... if you are resigned to the donut... baker down is probably a it early as well.. sorry about the health Gawn ref, its the same situation for me trying to buy one of em'!

Is take an Xtra week an option? (do them both properly!)

Is that in reference to O Baker or L Baker.

The melb one. Trying to get you 18 on the park.

Will be keeping O Baker for a while longer as L Baker is leaving this week or next.

You mean wait until R16 to get to a full side? Could be a good option.

 

[Lgndhen23]

Out: stocker, balta, answerth
In: Sicily, Clarke, gardener

Leaves me with 2 upgrades not counting hore

 

[Cattleherder]

Do you already have Gardner?

Hi Darkie. Yes, brought Gardner in last week.

 

[Blaze]

Out: Atkins, Hore, Answerth
In: Bontempelli, D Clarke, Naish

Going early on Niash to join other going early moments such as Robbie Young, Gardner and Bewley (Nervous wait for teams!) .....I am going to get burned soon aren't I?!?!

Leaves me $$$ for the players I want next week (still don't have Tim Kelly and I want one of Yeo and Neale as my final mid upgrade)

 

[randomcliche]

Yep. It's what I'm doing. I expect to go Hore to Whitfield about then.

 

[Spots]

Out: Lobb, Clark, Larkey
In: Ryan, Rocky, Gardner

Brought Naish in last week, was clapping myself at quarter time.... and happy to ride the Rocky rollercoaster again... gives me 18 without Moore (HAW) and Young being named....
