Strategy Round 6: Trades

[7/11]

Well, Brander being out kinda threw me out a little, so I've decided to offload he and Tyler Brown for Ridley and Aarts. Will hold Pittonet and hope I can squeeze a bit more cash out of him.

 

[blue dreamer]

Starcevc survives in my team due to a) playing in the first game and b) actually playing.
Trades are now a job for tomorrow

Good strategy.

Essendon watchers.
Q. What impact does McKenna coming back have on Ridley?

Sounds like Hooker could play fwd also so Ridley ends up being the 2nd tall. https://www.afl.com.au/news/463067/reverse-swing-don-defenders-could-fix-forward-headaches

Main concern is DEF where I will be playing 2 donuts without some sort of corrective action. I have 3 trade scenarios:

1. Noble > Lloyd/Daniel, Pitonett > Hamill (via Williams)

Will mean I need to play Hamill at D6, and have no bench cover. Leaves $300k in the bank

2. Noble > Lloyd/Daniel, Rowell > Hamill (via Rivers)

Similar scenario as trade 1 except I have Pitonett a little longer to potentially make more cash.

3. Rowell > Lloyd/Daniel (via Rivers), Pitonett > Laird (via Williams)

Leaves no cash in the bank, but with all the rookies next week I will likely be double downgrading anyway. However I have to sacrifice the likely 2 best cash cows in my team.

Any other suggestions? Think I am leaning toward option 3.

Rowell - > Short via Rivers can then get you Noble - > something worthwhile

 

[BigRuss]

Brown & Rowell out for Aarts and either Bennel or Yeo. Pretty straight forward for me this week.

Mcpherson will debut and Will day will debut.
Stoddart is on extended bench so you don't have to go Hamill if u don't want.

 

[doc ron]

So who out of Rivers and Noble is likely to re appear first? I feel like it may be Noble.

 

[Professor]

I traded out Rowell and Starcevich for Billings and Hunter, this leaves me 1 donut in defence, unless Noble is a late in. Hunter is on extended bench, so not confirmed yet, but if I reverse trade and keep Starcevich, I'll compromise my ins for this week. Wanted double upgrade and double down next week. Not worth trading regular rookies that will come in next week. Ie: traded McAsey last week, he's in this week.

So, I'm going for it, banking on a Noble late in or donut and trying to complete my side. Good luck all, not looking at midpricers yet. ?

An option could be
Out: M Rowell and M Pittonet
In: S Hill and R Laird
Approximately $370,000 remaining salary.

Next week it allows-
Out: B Bewley and T Brown
In: L Whitfield (via C Budarick) and E Yeo
If funds and price changes permit.

Rivers isn't even emergency now.

You have been very bullish on Hunter for 1-2 weeks so I hope that works out for you.

Love Billings as a footballer.

 

[Herbie66]

Will stick with Aarts & Whitfield , will work out the best way to get them both after tonight's game.

 

[Blaze]

Glad I have another day to think about trades this week ..rivers out leaves me.with no bench cover if I trade out Rowell and t brown as planned. That make a me a tad uneasy

 

[Rowsus]

Hero or goat time.

Neale ---> Yeo trade made, and $284,400 change made to up grade T. Brown.

Sounds like Hooker could play fwd also so Ridley ends up being the 2nd tall. https://www.afl.com.au/news/463067/reverse-swing-don-defenders-could-fix-forward-headaches

So McKenna replaces Redman role. Hooker goes forward, Ridley to CHB, who else comes into defence.

The ins and outs don't make sense for Essendon. If Francis not fit, why name as an emg? anyone make sense of this.

Yup it is a weird thing probably keep him in Defence this week with Campbell in. North don't have many big Defenders so can go smaller with Mckernan the tall and a 191cm Laverde.
