Strategy Round 2: Trades

[Monya Meow Meow]

Do the trade I reckon. No need to save a trade this year.

Thanks mate, just a little uncertain on Doedee's comeback from that long injury.
Hopefully all goes well tonight!

 

[Darkie]

Roberton to Doedee and play Doedee or save the trade and play Rivers?

Agree with @Bomber18, could be a logjam next week with only two trades and heaps on the bubble.

Edit: I am going early on Bennell, Rivers and Doedee due to this.

Cool, I might be the only one left with Bont. Now all I need is Bont to turn up.

And me. Looking good avoiding viney so far

Ive done the same. Also have sturt.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Pittonet owners should be very happy

 

[jobeywatto]

Switched Petracca to Ceglar mid-R1 to jump on the ruck bandwagon. Might need to switch back this week.

I did the same.

Viney to Trac in two weeks I reckon. At least I should have some loose change.

 

[BomberSam]

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

Great call!

 

[BomberSam]

I have finalised my 5 trades for this round.

OUT: Tim Kelly, Brodie Smith, McAsey, Frampton and Green

IN: Viney, Howe, Doedee, Townsend, Tyler Brown

Anyone think Rozee could be a top 8 fwd this year?

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

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.

Today's scoring made me think of this post... did you take Gawn @All is Wells ???

 

[Zimmer]

Tossing up whether to bench Brander and bring in Doedee for BZT, or leave Brander on the ground and bring in Townshend.

My forwards are pretty thin, with King and Budarick on the ground. Are there any other forward rookies left this week?

Ended up going the Ceglar option but with Pittonet instead of Bewley. Ceglar left alot to be desired last night and has me slightly worried with McEvoy doing a bit of ruck work the 2nd half. Really glad i went the Pittonet route, 134 from a guy thats 235k is a genuine steal. Alot of teams will have to miss him being in an awkward price range with only 2 trades available, big pod for owners. Would recommend people jumping on him if they can chop a BZT to Rivers and their non playing R3 to him. Gawn scored 50 more and provided a few extra captain points over Neale. But the 65 odd points lost should be made up from the 450k saved elsewhere as well as the future cash growth from Pittonet. Would say, at worst, it's a break-even for this week.

Yeah I was wondering in hindsight if Gawn was worth it over Pit. C option is handy as it seems the mids aren’t as reliable this season.

I’m defs bringing in Pit next round as a cash cow. As I need to take Cameron too, I will miss out on Rivers but I am fine with getting him at 150k or so the week after.

Yeah i think i got quite lucky with Neale C, would have definitely tipped the trade in favour of Gawn if Neale had a standard 125 odd. Hoping Grundy manages some big VC scores in the next few weeks so the captaincy side of things doesnt hurt me as everyone will lock in his score.

Yes.

 

[Ironhawk]

I was seriously considering bringing in Rozee both during pre-season and again this week. Very good first quarter.

Doubt he will end up top 8, but probably not far off.

 

[Herbie66]

5 given , 5 used

Reiwoldt - > KPP
Roberton - > Stewart
BZT - > Rivers
Green - > Bennell
Naismith - > Jacobs

I think (hope) it improved by structure

3-1-4 (Docherty) classifying Noble as a rookie
5-0-6
1-1-1 (Jacobs)
2-2-4 (Lynch , Smith)

Cavarra , Kropenyeri-Pickett , Mahony & Williams all DNP this round so that probably needs rectifying next.

 

[Nick T]

Lots of bubble boys next week so tempted to use 5th trade. Probably Pittonet and Sturt next week.

Option 1 - Use 5th trade for Cavarra to Townsend

Option 2 - Take Budaric’s (E) 62 + save 1 trade + $118k

mmm a donut could score more than Jacobs at this rate ?
