Strategy Round 9: Trades

[Ben's Beasts]

IN: Whitfield, Georgiades, Rookie (Close maybe?)

OUT: McInerney (if not named), Brander (if not named), Rookie unlikely to hit BE

 

[Herbie66]

Thinking now to adjust plans and grab Lloyd!

Averaging 120+ since the resumption.

He almost becomes a must have starting pick every year now (imo) , his form/price hardly seems to fluctuate enough to pick him up as a fallen premium at any stage.

 

[Herbie66]

So many fallen premiums look viable in the next few rounds , if only all are starting rookies had reached $ 300 k , could have a upgrading feast.

I was thinking this recently. His price has been within $10k of his starting price all season. Tends to play 22 each year as well. I know he had a slower second half last year, but unless you’re predicting something similar for a specific reason, he looks one you just lock and load.

 

[Connoisseur]

Options will likely consist of:

Out: C Rozee, C Taylor, J McInerney
In: B Close, B Smith (WB)/ D Martin, M Ling
$260,000 for RD10 to upgrade C Serong to B Smith/D Martin or mid premium and Noble/Starcevich to Stewart via a downgrade.

or
Out: J McInerney, C Taylor, J Noble
In: B Close, J Lloyd, B McKay/M Ling

or
Out: J McInerney, C Taylor, ?
In: L Parker, B Close, ?

 

[The Myth]

With those 4 extra trades, I’ll continue to burn those trades until full premo.

Will look at something like: Mcinerney, Hill/Williamson and King to Ling, Close/Taylor, and Zerrett (love no byes).

 

[Blaze]

I think I'll keep Taylor as he is playing the crows....Hoping my team can help him and Mahony with another cash bump

I have my eye on fallen premos so Tom Stewart, Dusty and Simpkin are on my radar..... given my horrid backline depth I may take ling as a warm bench body and bring in Tom Stewart even if his price hasn't quite bottomed out

 

[BarginHunter]

What everyones thoughts on this?

Hoskin-Elliott > C. Dixion
Cripps >Menegola( im not sure about it tho becuase Cripps is almost a guaranteed Prem)
N. Broad>Lloyd
Is these smart trades or should i keep Cripps so he can figure out how to play footy again?

 

[THCLT]

Thinking a couple of cow swaps and a MID upgrade is what's needed for my team, DEF & FWD complete for now.
Williamson to Ling
Serong to Porter/E Taylor/Close
Brander/McInerney to Parker

Leaves me with around $300K ITB to maybe look at Duncan and move BWilliams onto Stewart for not much cash.

 

[THCLT]

IN: Whitfield, Georgiades, Rookie (Close maybe?)

We'll find out on Monday night whether he's close enough to make our R9 teams...

I’m just so glad he’s been named in the 22 ??

 

[THCLT]

He must be close then...

 

[jaca]

Real decision about “true” premos vs fake ones for me.

Lloyd becomes attractive post-bye for me. Maybe he’s a switch in R12 to someone that hasn’t had one yet.

I’ve planned for Zorko/Macrae/Ling or Close in for Sloane/Brander/Taylor, but will review post lockout.

 

[Herbie66]

I just wish this Round was over so I can see if my preferred trades are achievable and my Round 10 targets are both still within my budget.

 

[Bomber18]

Averaging 120+ since the resumption.

He almost becomes a must have starting pick every year now (imo) , his form/price hardly seems to fluctuate enough to pick him up as a fallen premium at any stage.

I was hoping he put in another 100 so would be more around that 560k mark but it’s still not much of a change from his starting price.

Leaning towards jumping on before he hits $600k plus!

At this stage, I’m looking at:
Brander/McAsey/Budarick to Ling/Lloyd/Close

 

[Blaze]

I thought hunter Clark looked pretty good last night maybe he can back end the year in line with the pre season hype? I don't know much about him though...anyone have thoughts on him?

My personal opinion is that they have too many cooks down back for my liking. I've experienced that with Long earlier in the season and just don't trust whether it's Wilkie/Clark/Coffield/Long each and every week...even Paton is getting a fair run down there of late.

We have the 'Man of Steele' so that's enough Saints in our teams...

Yes not a safe pick I will likely go up a few $$$ to Stewart...my intrigue heightened when I saw in had the cash to go from hill to Clark in 1 trade. Looking at probably 2 trades this week McInerny/BZT to Stewart/rookie (close or ling) and keeping hill if the prognisis isnt too bad

This lockout never ends Jaca... Wait, we talking SC or RLVS? (i.e. 'Real Life Victoria Style')

Have you been able to get to the bottom of what’s happened with Rozee? I’d be reluctant to trade him out at current pricing unless I was pretty sure his recent role/form/fitness/whatever it is is likely to persist.
