Strategy Round 5: Trades

[Pieman17]

S

Pretty sure I want 2 of the following:
Green
Young
Hill
Serong
My gut telling me Green and Young (probably because I've watched them the most and am impressed by both)
Hill obvious risk, and Serong I'm not sure about, but Fyfe out and Blakely not picked, he could be the astute move.

Serong and Young

Wouldn't mind banking the extra cash from Brander, but Pickett also stinks in the middle.

Prefer to the look of Serong, but SHill is sitting there available down back...

Brander > SHill or Picket > Serong? The former only gets the extra $15k because of SHill's premium, but he probably also keeps his spot more... but might score worse? Any thoughts at all? :/

Now that Rivers has been named, I can get away with only trading Howe > Haynes.
A bit of DPP shuffling gets me a non player in the FWD line to take advantage of King's score

Fingers crossed for no last minute outs in DEF with Noble & Brander warming the pine.

 

[dlanod]

Now that Rivers has been named, I can get away with only trading Howe > Haynes.

I'm worried about Haynes' scoring with Davis having a niggle and Taylor out. He might have to play tighter.

But then I'm not suggesting not taking him, I'm just putting this here so I can look like a guru later and hope everyone ignores it if I'm wrong.

Anyone have an opinion on Xerri's job security?

Solid until Larkey is back I would think.
Larkey listed as 1-2 weeks on the injury report. Doe she then need a week or even two of scratch matches?

My dilemma is that all the options have some risk/unknown.
Lloyd was about the only one who I would have said is reliable, but I'd have to do an extra trade to get him, and he's too pricey for my liking.

 

[dlanod]

Anyone have an opinion on Xerri's job security?

I would say not great. North seems to cycle through their tall targets regularly.

Will kick 4 this week now ?

 

[Goodie's Guns]

To trade out...

Townsend vs. Brander vs. Noble ??

Keeffe has been named, and he is only there to cover Davis, that said Taylor is out too but I would suggest that means Corr returns to a lockdown role rather than roaming around free as he has done the last two weeks.

 

[Spifflicator]

To trade out...

Townsend vs. Brander vs. Noble ??

Easy Townsend is playing, so keep him. Noble closer to maxed out so he goes before Brander IMO

 

[dlanod]

Will kick 4 this week now ?

I hope so, he was originally picked as my C donut because of the favourable NM Sunday afternoon schedule! Both of those have gone out the window.

 

[AngryAnt]

Pickett to Serong, waste of a trade? Not getting much coin out of it but don't know when Pickett will return (if ever).

 

[Blaze]

Trigger pulled...Howe/Fyfe to Lloyd/Hill...Brander to F6 435k in the bank for next week

Was very hard passing on Serong but hibberd and Jones on the bubble next week sealed my decision

 

[Grundogging]

Just checked what would happen with Howe and Naismith down to Hill and Serong - ITB amount would be considerably above $500k (even higher than $600k).

Feels like I should pull the trigger on this for the next wave of cash generation (already have Hibberd) and treading water while cows and fallen premos drift a little closer to each other, but it would leave me with 3-6-1-3 (including Rowell at M6) which is a little shaky?

Am I crazy? Should I be spending the cash now to get another DEF premo in?

 

[McLovin]

Brander to Hill- worth it for the small profit, or a waste of a trade?

Otherwise it's just Noble to Serong for me this week.

 

[blue dreamer]

Rivers and Sturt in... so in comes Serong to avoid a mid donut.

Is it too much to ask for 100pts from Sturt and Rivers combined? Probably...

SC gold thinks it's reasonable.
They have them for a combined 104 points FWIW

 

[Rumbler]

Noble --> S.Hill
Only 1 trade so far.

Unless I have second thoughts later this weekend it looks like Houston will survive another week. Sideways trades are destroying me.

 

[The Experiment]

Pickett to Serong, waste of a trade? Not getting much coin out of it but don't know when Pickett will return (if ever).

Thinking of making the same trade. Even contemplating doing Bennell to serong given goodwins comments re Bennell
