Strategy Round 2: Trades

[Dazza]

Don’t see as many rookies making a lot of cash this season, with a shortened season.

 

[Kidult]

Be amazed if those getting him in trade him out in round 4 or 5, which seems to be the target range.

Most will then be looking at downgrade/upgrade options to try and get to a complete team as quick as possible. Leaving Viney at M6, then M7 and then M8. Ultimate trap!

Could be beneficial at round 4 or 5 if a Cripps/Fyfe goes down in the same week, can then make two sideways trades and make some cash - but we don't plan for that scenario.

Can also be flirting with danger trying to get to full premo with the lack of rookies other than a few to make cash by round 3 and bringing in 2 for next round if they show up. Then having to wait another 2 weeks for price rise leaving you with around 13 weeks

 

[Kidult]

Who would everyone take or prefer if you had a choice Cogs or Viney

Viney as the cashman. Coniglio higher chance of a keeper but with all the midfielders coming back at GWS he may never get to that stage.

Yeh if there isn't bye rounds u don't have the luxury of 9 trades in 3 weeks to round off ur team and the best rookies looking like gettin 150k.
If a rookie in round 2 doesn't show up then u have to wait for round 3 to have a look.
Then you have to bring them in round 4 and hope they produce 150k+ for 4-6 weeks leaving you at round 10 with 7 games left.
Most teams have 11-14 Keepers leaving you to do 1 up 1 down each week, which requires 8-11 weeks to get there.

What about predicted to come in

What about predicted to come in

Bennell and Rankine.

People could also be looking at a straight forward sideways trade to a fallen defender or forward who has dropped in price around round 4/5.

 

[Herbie66]

TJL - > Kropenyeri-Pickett
Riewoldt - > Georgiades
Cavarra - > Sturt
BZT - > Jacobs via Williams (moves Naismith to R3)
Green - > Viney (M6) allows McInerney & Brown on the bench

Viney makes a quick $ 100 k , sideways him to Whitfield , Dusty or Son Son etc or one of the 100 breakout Forward contenders

Round 3 look at Bennell , Doedee , Hill , Rankine etc etc

 

[Kidult]

What about predicted to come in

Wonder if someone like Dylan Williams,Bergman come in if R.Gray misses with his gym mishap. Also totally forgot about Jackson Mead he was on the bubble for round 1.

 

[Slacker]

Round 2 is the old round 3. Rookie corrections. Unfortunately some rookies, who may have played early season games, were worth a punt but the passage of time has, like sands through the hour glass, made them fiscal liabilities. 5 rookies out 5 rookies in...and the money train slowly pulls out from the station siding cheered on by the second wave.

easy in theory , maybe not so much in practice

of the 10 best scoring rookies in Round 1 Stengle is already out , Sturt is under a injury cloud , Brown , Georgiades both may be dropped so that's 6 left

not sure who the 5 replacement rookies are , if you are willing to share

most probably have 6-8 onfield + 8 on the bench

I guess you just replace the worst 5 with the best alternatives (and hope)

 

[Herbie66]

Does anyone have the BE for :-

Ziebell
Newman
Ryan (Fremantle)

Cheers

Thanks for that

 

[Juzzo]

TJ Lynch last time against Collingwood, 132 round 19 last year, might just hold.

Your right of course, not easy, but I have at least 6 rookies who are odds on to be dropped. At his price I don't mind leaving Budarick on the bench, but I need to hope for at least 5 replacement rookies who at least have a chance of earning some coin, but maybe wishful thinking.
I doubt many out there also have Zach Guthrie to contend with

 

[Vicwood]

Anyone not looking at grabbing Viney this week?

Bandwagon is picking up some serious steam.

Depends on the Rookies. Currently I have just sideway trade Dunkley to Mitchell and Crisp to Howe. 130k in the bank.

 

[Vicwood]

Loving all of the pros and cons chatter on Viney. I’ve opened a real can of worms here.

So tempting. But good chance he throws up a 65 RD2 and every one plans go up in flames.

Yeap my back line is a mess, sweating on Hill lacing up the boots for RD2.
