Strategy Round 2: Trades

[Zimmer]

Unlocked. Not touching viney

What made you change your mind?

 

[Juzzo]

Solid trades.

Based on your side I’d be tempted to move Gresham on for Trac if he’s a target you are bullish on.

And perhaps go early on Sturt for Cav in case you need next weeks trade to chase a debuting rookie bolter and a Doedee.

Normal year and I would've traded Gresh out due to injury, but I really want to give him a shot now after he's recovered from knee strain. Have contemplated that move though. Thanks mate.

 

[Zimmer]

Probably should have held Brayshaw and kept the trade for another rookie. Oh, well, too late now. Both Brayshaw brothers have burned me badly - I think it was more an unconscious decision than a rational one.

 

[Herbie66]

I have no idea with trades. All 5 still available.
Below is my thinking:

Roberton to Rivers
Green to Bennell
Davis to Long

2 trades left, $37,300 in kitty.
50/50 on keeping/trading Bont/Dunks or both, I realise they will decrease in value.
Cav to Sturt next week likely. Can loop Taylor today.
Davis could well come back next week.
Defence is dodgy.

Missed out on Howe unfortunately.
Players I've had my eye on: Hurn, SPS, Doedee, Simkin, D Smith, Trac, Sloane, JPK, Bewley, Ah Chee (WC, smokey, huge risk, not sure his role at WC)
Any help appreciated.

fwiw

rucks look ok ?

like the forwards but shudder with defence

think you nailed it need to sacrifice one of Bont/Dunkley for a premium defender via DPP and play McInerney onfield

SPS very popular on SCT

and get rid of McAsey

 

[Obie]

Gawn-Naismith
Rivers-Roberton
Long-Cavarra
Bennell-Bont

Short season. No point not aggressive trading. Gawn in to shore up the Captain option feels the right move.

Thanks Herb. Yes, defence horrible. Would like to go straight to Hurn, but SPS on my radar also. cheers.

I can't recall if I saw Hurns record away , might be worth checking into.

Locked in my trades for the week, hopefully no late changes to come. Pretty similar to most of what I've seen, Greenwood probably the only slightly different pick.

Naismith > Gawn
Bont > Bennell
Brayshaw > Greenwood
BZT > Doedee
McAsey > Rivers

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Does anyone reckon Young is a better pick than Rivers?
Still might bring both in but just wondering if you could only bring in 1...

 

[Rumbler]

Anyone gone early on one of the forward rookies - Berry or Vandermeer? Which is more likely to get a game next week?

I think I may need to bring in one of these two right now because next week I'll need two trades for Sturt & Young (if he plays)

 

[Darkie]

Did you find some new info, or just a better option for your team?

I’m asking because I’m not wedded to him, but he looks the best option as a cash generator amongst higher priced players.

 

[Zim^zuM]

What made you change your mind?

Was never against bont. Was purely for cash. Then i remembered everytime i had a stepping stone i get stuck with him. Always other injuries, bubble boys get in the way.

 

[Nathan]

Dunks->Viney
Roberton->Doedee
BZT->Howe
Naismith->Pittonet
Green->Bennell

 

[Vicwood]

Screw it... 5th trade is Fort to Long

I brought long in this week. Fingers cross the trade pays off.?

 

[Vicwood]

Is Starcevich any chance to hit 40+ in SC?

What's his role does anyone know, does he have a game that might score more than Noble sitting on the bench?

I guess it's only 40, even if he doesn't surely he could make 30 this week.

Answorth and Witherdon are both out. I like his chances of 60 +.

 

[Eagling]

Kozzy, Cavarra and Davis outs forced a trade to avoid a doughnut.

Right now I'm going Cavarra to Rivers and Davis to Bennell as my first two trades of the season.

Can't see Fort getting back in for a while after Stanley's game last night. If Long can make a quickfire $100k + and put up 80s I'll be happy

 

[Herbie66]

Answorth and Witherdon are both out. I like his chances of 60 +.

Ah Chee & Birchall are both in though

Stanley's work around the ground was good but I thought his ruck work was average.

 

[Vicwood]

Ah Chee & Birchall are both in though

Reckon Birchell will be barking orders from the back. We shall see.
