Strategy Round 2: Trades

[Kidult]

So stuck! I think I have gotten it down to 2 options.

Doedee and Long Vs Rivers and Greenwood

This seems tricky and greenwood should be a keeper, but also means taking a rookie...and less rookies = less risks.

Any other advice would be welcomed....such as not trading out macrae for viney, etc

Think I would rather dump J Kelly than Macrae but I would hold all ur mids.

If one had to take a sub $500k defender to be a season long keeper whom would you go for?

Been somewhat forced into a bit of a restructure due to Roberton and BZT being out.

Looking at Haynes, DBJ, Dawson, Andrews someone in that range anyway.

Any opinions welcome?

DBJ

Doedee and Long for mine. Actually bringing both in this round myself.

Bont goes for either Danger or Gawn for me this week. I don't know if I trust Naismith to return next week (I would take Cameron 73 E otherwise) so I think the Gawndog will be coming in.

If my trades go as planned I know who my second team will be this year!

Thinking i might go Naismith/Roberton/Bont/Green (if not named) to Gawn/Petracca/Bennell/Rivers.....it's a grand old flag it's a high flying flag!

Looks good to me as I'm doing a similar set of trades.

Gawndog all the way and he can take the C too!

Historically depending on the Demons doesn’t bode well.

I'm biased but also think it's one of the best, along with Richmond.

Yes I guess SPS is an option too.

Thanks for your thoughts. Any reason for DBJ over the others?

Hi all,

Dont often ask for trade advice but in quite a pickle and wouldn't mind some 2nd opinions. Narrowed it done to 3 options.

First option is with Ceglar as trade in to cover Naismith for however long he misses. It allows me to play Bennell/McInerney in mids until Naismith is back. Like this option as im getting 2 keepers (Ceglar and Greenwood) for only one keeper out (Bont). Only thing i don't absolutely love is Bewley, i'm more bullish on Long but cant afford him unfortunately. Ceglar im not 100% sold on as an option but his ruck cover could prove very useful throughout the year. Next week it will allows me to go Comben - D.Cameron. However to get Georgiadis or Sturt if they return i have to trade out a playing player like Budarick or King. Could also get Pittonet over Bewley in this option

Option 2 is the Pittonet option. I think Pittonet will be one of the stronger mid pricers, however comes against Gawn potentially the only week i need him on field. This option gives me Long as a trade in over Bewley and allows me to potentially go BZT & Roberton - Doedee and 1 of Sturt/Georgiadis/D.Cameron next week

Last option has Gawn as a trade in. Wasn't sold on Gawn over the preseason with his injury and price, but a good early draw and a 3 month layoff has me reconsidering. I think value is essential though and Naismith on the bench at 250k while Gawn is going to drop 50-100k could detract from the rest of my team. Provides a good captain option however, also allows me to get Long. This option also simplifies trades next week as I can go Comben/Cavarra to Sturt/Georgiadis/D.Cameron. Will have to play M.King on the field for a week.

Rambled on a bit. At the moment my preference is
1. Ceglar option
2. Pittonet
3. Gawn

Docherty I would add Houston and Crisp to that list, and probably be looking at DBJ and Dawson over the other two. Andrews has heaps of potential but was super frustrating last year and I think still spoils too much (vs marking).

 

[Harmonic Nine]

Traded last night T Lynch to B Long. Would have held but knew I needed to find some cash to bring Gawn in.

Trading Out :
Jack Macrae
Sam Naismith
Brandon Zerk-Thatcher
Tom Green

Trading In :
Trent Rivers
Max Gawn
Jack Viney
Harley Bennell

Preferred to trade out Bont rather than Macrae but didn't have the coin.

Trading in 4 Demon's - what could go wrong !

 

[Bontempele]

Which two players (any position) would you pick for under 610k between them? My other 28 players are:

Laird, Sicily, Houston, Docherty, Noble, Brander, Starcevich

Cripps, Danger, Bont, D Smith, Rowell, T Green, Pickett, McInerney, T Brown, Budarick

Gawn, Grundy, B Williams

Whitfield, Dusty, Petracca, Bewley, Sturt, C Taylor, Davis

Interesting that you're also considering Gawn in! Actually, I'd probably have my preferences the other way around haha:
1. Gawn
2. Pittonet
3. Ceglar option

If D.Cameron becomes a decent ruck cover option this season, the value of Ceglar diminishes. I'm jumping on Gawn myself this round but my alternative is the Pittonet option (I was considering Townsend rather than Bewley/Long types though).

I like the Ceglar option but is Greenwood a must?

I would prefer somebody cheaper, say Wingard or Rozee and then Bewley up to Long.

I'm taking Pittonet.
Keepers are not as relevant this year because of the shortened season. Value is much more important.
I do have my fingers crossed that Gawn doesn't burn me but will stick to my guns!

I like the Gawn option best haha. Mostly as that option still gives you the team that I would least want to face - which, even in this crazy year, can't be overlooked.
