Strategy Round 9: Trades

[Socrates2]

It's something I'll have to weigh up before Wednesday night. It's my only avenue to get to Lloyd this week. Probably smarter to leave Lloyd til after his bye though... He just might be too pricey by then.

Yes Pickett is playing midfield so he can go up another $100,000 easy imo.

Perhaps... I'm not as confident in him. Didn't get near the pill in the first half on Friday

 

[Socrates2]

Oliver and Zerrett make sanse (they're both on my shortlist), but for some reason I just don't love either one.

I don't mind Saad either.

 

[THCLT]

Oliver and Zerrett make sanse (they're both on my shortlist), but for some reason I just don't love either one.

I didn't like/trust Ridley either, but got him in this week despite having to pay a premium for him compared to others. Oliver & Zerrett are both 'young' types so have the best chance of playing through this next phase, on top of both being BYE-free. I'm trying to put aside who I would like with regards to my upgrades and instead thinking more along the line of who will 'best' help my team to navigate through the upcoming fixture with the focus of minimising on-field Rookies as part of the 18.

I don't know if there's a right or wrong answer...I've just defaulted to that strategy with the information at hand for now.

If you had to pick 2 out of:

Oliver, Petracca, Merrett, Zorko

Who would it be?

The two Dees for me

Zorko I would be concerned with injury and Zerrett has Shiel to come back which may make a difference. So the 2 dees for me as well.

I've had both since the start of the season.
Pleased that they are putting up some good scores, but Zerrett has been a bit patchy

 

[Monya Meow Meow]

Who does MDB go to in R10?
Assuming Shiel would be back by then so potentially Zerrett will not be affected?

Good question re MDB, Greenwood or Miller are the 2 guys getting their hands on the pill frequently, but for mine Miller uses it better so maybe him? Swallow and Weller also candidates for a shut down player.

 

[Montyjnr]

At this stage considering:
Outs- Pickett, Hill, Starcevich
Ins- Close, Ling, Lloyd
Few weeks earlier than my liking to dump Pickett, but Lloyd will jump up a significantly after this week. Could be now or never with Lloyd for me

Lloyd will only increase by 14k if he scores 116 this week. Hardly life or death.

 

[TigerTime]

Lloyd will only increase by 14k if he scores 116 this week. Hardly life or death.

True. But that's only half the problem... Copping 30s and 40s from Starc and McAsey every week is killing my scores. Getting Lloyd and Stewart over the next 2 weeks solves this problem; while I still have solid rookie scorers like Simpson and Hibberd in the middle

 

[lavenderbandit]

Can't wait for tonight game, only so this round is finally over and i can make my usual rage trades that get reversed 10 minutes later!

 

[Shannon]

Think I am going to go :-

Doedee/ Brander/ McInereny > McPherson/ Close/ Oliver

I have Whitfield/ B Smith & Simpkin in my mids so having Close with his DP is very handy over the byes for the flexibility.

Means I will have 8 players from the dees & bombers who have already had their bye :-
Gawn/ Petracca/Viney/Oliver/Bennell/ Rivers/Ridley/ Devon Smith

 

[BomberSam]

Anyone looking at Ben McKay from the Roos? Harry's identical twin. Has scored an 86 and a 70. Will be similarly priced to McPherson I believe.

I grabbed him this week mate. I think he plays every game for us from here on, unfortunately I think Jmac's time is up. Previous years he has always seemed to fumble under pressure, two grab marks. He looks a different player this year

 

[Juzzo]

Probably been mentioned, but if we trade out deadwood rookies, ie McInerney, Green, Brander, Rivers, etc, could it happen over the next 3 rounds they make a come back due to resting over the busy schedule. I suppose we don't have a crystal ball, but something to think about.

 

[Dazza]

McInerney Rivers and Green weren’t even emergencies last week, which is a worry

 

[Dazza]

If you had to pick 2 out of:

Oliver, Petracca, Merrett, Zorko

Who would it be?

I take Oliver out of those 4, then Petracca, never had the other two in my team since playing, wouldn’t my getting the 2 Melbourne players into my team at some stage
Cripps to Oliver, when Carlton have the bye

 

[Juzzo]

McInerney Rivers and Green weren’t even emergencies last week, which is a worry

Yes, true.
