Strategy Round 4: Trades

[bloke]

Best rookies to look at this week? JS, Scoring?

To bring in on the bubble, I'm thinking somewhere along the lines of:

1. Tom Green
2. Tom Williamson
3. Hamill
4. Kozzie Pickett

Hard to say on those playing their first games

 

[Kidult]

Everyone in that Geelong team kicked 3 goals against the dogs that game, pretty confident he'll line up in the ruck, where named as a ruckman

Yup I just thought it is Geelong and Stanley was actually out so someone off the bench had to be named in the Followers as the ruck.

Xerri for mine and Butler already played so if any those 2. Higher priced but can also look at Hill,Serong,Vandenberg.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Original plan:
OUT: Whitfield, Sturt
IN: Simpkin, Sicily

New plan:
OUT: Pickett, Sturt
IN: Simpkin, Mahony/Xerri

Keeps Whitfield, forward line is complete with dusty in the middle for a bit.

Thoughts?

 

[BomberSam]

Pickett to Simpkin all but locked in.

I can't decide on my other trade.

Nic Nat to Pittonet - I get 171.9k from the trade but it is also an upgrade in my opinion as I expect Pitto to outscore Nic Nat and become a keeper. Nic Nat's TOG% coupled with Hickey coming in this week are my concerns.

Houston to Rivers - generates 323.4k. A failed midpricer to a rookie, cashing up for my next moves which might include Nic Nat to Gawn as soon as next week. Houston could still (however unlikely) turn it around and become a D6/7 or spikr enough to sideways to a fallen premo.

Both have their merits, but I am torn. Does anyone have a preference out of these trades? Very interested in hearing thoughts on the matter.

Personally, if option 2 means missing Pittonet then definitely option 1, you can fix Houston next week, but it won't be worth getting Pittonet next week.

Nic Nat to Pittonet and agree with the points raised above by @Deeman1.

Cheers legends! I have been leaning that way for most of the week and you have helped to reinforce my psychology on the matter.

Am I better off ditching Davis > Pickett, or Noble (45 BE) > Pittonet or Butler?

Pittonet will be a bench option so Butler smells better because at least I get his points, but that seems like some flaky scoring. Pickett doesn't feel like a must have.

Or maybe Fort... I almost prefer that option if Stanley is guaranteed to miss more. A medial strain is not necessarily straight back in.

For some reason I thought Noble's BE was 39. Nope, looks like I'll have to consider whether to ditch him instead of Sturt.

Noble BE showing as 39 in SC gold on my phone.

I thought that's what it was. Strangely tooserious says it's 45.

Is it worth trading Whitfield out to a Butler for cash generation or just keep him?

 

[BomberSam]

I'm leaning strongly towards the just keep him.

 

[Diabolical]

I’m thinking if not trading this week. Rookies I have who I thought may be a chance not to play - Young, Green, McMahon, Taylor all named so may as well ride them given my target Bennell not named. Might cost me a few H2Hs this week, but I got some luck last week, so might work in my favour long term.

 

[Beast_Mode]

No deal. Whitfield is named and playing. Still see him being a top six forward from this point onward. I would only entertain the option if you don’t intend to bring him back in (ie. see him averaging less than 80)

 

[JoeyRulz]

Time to use some loose coins in the bank, and remove the thorn in my backline. Houston & Sturt > Doedee & Simpkin.

 

[patfootball04]

Lads,

Simpkin v Petracca? Interested in some reasoning behind either choice.

Secondly- Houston. Named on the ball... does this mean anything? At all?

 

[Kidult]

Finally got rid of my GWS players. NEVER AGAIN!
Jacobs+Whitfield to Pittonet+Simpkin+144k(for next week)

 

[Maccas marvels]

Apologies if already posted but can anyone provide Whitfield BE and expected price for next round?
strongly considering trading him up to Fyfe and buying him later on at a cheaper price.This year may be only year where we can fully upgrade as we have more trades up our sleeves and I didn’t use five up front.
