Strategy Round 2: Trades

[Connoisseur]

F McAsey to S Sturt via J Brander pushing Lady Thatcher back to the bench. Unsure if 1 of Lynch, Ryan or Brayshaw will depart.

 

[Darkie]

On Sturt, Fyfe said that they were going to play him deep and use his speed, or something to that effect ... doesn't sound like that good a role to me?

I know he's just scored well, but he kicked 3.0.

 

[Rumbler]

McASSSEY OUT
BZT OUT

 

[Johnsy44]

Smith and Cavarra for Howe and Sturt

 

[Ironhawk]

We only get 2 trades right? I need at least 6.

Likely MacPherson out (to Rozee?) and a rookie correction - TBC which one that will be.

 

[madmunza]

Out anyone, In a RUCKMAN

 

[7/11]

Z.Guthrie > Naismith (via B.Williams DPP)
??? > Sturt

Could possibly be Tom Green, Starcevich or King making way for Sturt depending on respective performances. Mainly looking at the cash grab for those two, but will be good back up if someone unexpectedly goes down in each position.

 

[Rowsus]

Someone to Sturt.
Don't know who yet.
May only do one trade.
We don't quite have 2 every week, if the full 17 Rounds are played.

 

[Beg2Differ]

What is the priority this week, rookie corrections or premo corrections?

Remember rookie prices start going up after the next game so you need to jump on anybody you missed before round 2 on only one game of exposed form. I remind people of Bailey Scott last year.

 

[Yasi]

Green -> Fort
Someone -> Sturt

 

[Beg2Differ]

I reckon you may as well use 2 every week. Your trades only start counting from round 2 so you only need to save 2 across the whole season. All going well that should be quite easy at the end.

 

[Bomber18]

Brayshaw/McAsey out for Sturt/Howe

Two trades per week gonna be handy!

 

[Hondo]

Georgiades with 78. I think for those with neither him or Sturt you might want to look closer at which R1 score is more likely to persist as the normal. Unless you end up with both over 2 rounds. 78 from a $130k player is very good.

 

[Brookesy]

Cavarra to Sturt
Macpherson to Grenwood (though Rozee is mighty tempting, just love his explosiveness)

 

[GrainFedBeef]

Georgiades with 78. I think for those with neither him or Sturt you might want to look closer at which R1 score is more likely to persist as the normal. Unless you end up with both over 2 rounds. 78 from a $130k player is very good.

the 100 will tempt many, will be tougher vs Hawthorn def.

This is spot on, although I reckon we can coast for a round at the end (or save two trades in a couple of individual rounds once we are fully upgraded).

I wouldn’t use a trade for the sake of it, but I think the smart play is to use them every round until you’re upgraded/almost out of trades.

 

[Dazza]

Smith out Howe in is a lock
Second still considering, Rookie correction Macasey or Cavarra
or offload another underperformer Houston or Brayshaw, probably give them one more chance

In general the gap between BE and round 1 score will be greater for rookies - although I think that’s a decent first thing to assess.

 

[aleceee]

Mcasey to Georgiades (Starcevic to defence and Budarick to mids)
Brayshaw to Ceglar (pending another massive ruck score)

 

[Hondo]

the 100 will tempt many, will be tougher vs Hawthorn def.

Yes I’m seeing here that the 100 is a real magnet. Parker got two 80s to start last year did hardly got near it after that.

Lots of trades to burn this season though.
