Strategy Round 6: Trades
- Thread starter IDIG
- Start date
Here was his write up after the preseason on the HSun
5. Tobe Watson (Freo) - $123.000, Def
Marsh series scores: 62, 42
After averaging 17 disposals in the WAFL during his first year on the Dockers’ list – and rating elite for marks and above-average for intercept possessions, intercept marks, spoils and score involvements – the 190cm defender has put himself in the Round 1 mix after an impressive summer. The mature-age recruit finished disposal tallies of 13 and 14 and is the only $123k defender to have played both his club’s Marsh Series matches.
PHANTOM’S MARCH VERDICT: If you don’t know, now you know. Watson is one of only a few bottom-price rookies likely to see early-season action, making him a great SuperCoach bench option.

I'm no star unlike some on here but in my head I am looking for a "full non rookie " team rather than full premo this year. Value trades are what I'm looking for.
However before the season I loaded up on my rucks with the big 2 and I have had Neale/Lloyd from the start also.
This was more luck than management as I was planning for 22 rounds.

One of our SCS PL coaches traded him out last round to avoid a DEF donut.

I like Aarts and wouldn't mind Tyler Brown to him via Mahony (into mids) and then grabbing Ridley to replace Starcevich.
But then my midfield would be really weak this week.
The other option was Rowell/Starcevich >> Yeo/Ridley, so I guess it comes down to can I stomach 4 mid rookies for this round.
Thoughts?

Great post.
Thought it would have generated greater interest and responses.
I for one will be continuing down the "value" route having recently brought in Butler , Ceglar & Ridley and just hope they continue/maintain their scoring to be viable season long keepers.
One of the issues I see is the lack of $$$ the likes of Budarick , Brown , McInerney have made so far (and 2 of them are likely to start losing $$$ if they keep their spots)
You almost need 3 $ 250k downgrade trades (making $ 125 k profit each trade) to then fund a single $ 625 upgrade trade , it simply is not going to work multiple times especially in the mids.
Hence why I see the likes of Hurn (?) , Menegola , Bailey Smith , Whitfield , Yeo etc etc as almost must have trade in targets the next 3-4 rounds.
Based on my own situation , I currently have 6 onfield rookies (not all guaranteed to play this week) that on current value I will need $ 1,471,500.00 to find them all to $ 500 k players (not taking into account current price / price drops for those trade in targets mentioned).
My current bank should be able to fund 3-4 of them.
My current bench consists of 4 DNP from last round and a couple with JS concerns so hoping that they can actually generate enough $$$ for the final 2 onfield rookie upgrades.
After that I will hope that everyone is scoring at that 90+ range and then possibly will be able to do "luxury sideways" trades.
Pittonet at R2 will be the biggest issue along with the likes of Sloane , D Smith , TJL etc etc.
I guess then the concern is will we even have adequate cover at D7 , M9 & F7 or even enough trades to fix things.
I am just taking the view of trying to fix my team week by week and hopefully be getting some competitive scores sooner rather than later.
I also need to work out what to do with Rowell , have a feeling tonight's teams might be bringing some rookie carnage.

Do you want Ridley this season? If so, probably best to get him now with his breakeven.
If not, Lloyd is a great trade and can't see you getting him much cheaper. Likely to be a top 2 defender by the end of season, and therefore from here on in.
I am hoping to end with Lloyd, Docherty, Laird, Hurn, Daniel....
Then any cheap fallen premium (I thought Ridley was still too risky last week and still not 100% sold, regardless I have missed him as a mid price break out candidate)
