Strategy Round 2: Trades

[mike89]

Not sure if I'm going to correct yet. Just waiting for Dow to be dropped and make the decision for me.

 

[Darkie]

Round 1 scores from 2020:

Gawn 93
Oliver 99
Lloyd 77
Bont 76
Hunter 84
Danger 83
M Crouch 68

All averaged 110+.

 

[OnTopBar]

No trades, will hold Dangerflop if it's 2 weeks (will have to field Rowe in his place). Will look at rookie BE's/roles after the next round.

Gawn to Hunter, Grundy to Meek, De Goey to Martin, Daniher to Mills, McNeil to Titch. Thank god they gave us those five trades. Will have to wait till next week to sack Dow.

 

[Ironhawk]

Ideally no trades, touch wood with three games to go.

...I'll probably want to make 15+ trades a week later, but that's usual.

 

[Johnsy44]

Hoping Danger gets 3 weeks.

Danger > Zac Williams and Cash

Maybe Dow > Jordan but will likely wait another week

 

[Deeman1]

If Jordan is selected with Viney, may do and early Cahill via Campbell to Jordan.

Don't have Danger, but do have Daniher. Will let the dust settle on Gawn and Grundy for another week and go from there.

 

[AngryAnt]

None. Cant see Brockman/McNeil lasting long so Jordon in for one of them the week after.

 

[Zimmer]

think your wrong maso. intent to bump after ball disposed, so careless but high impact, 2w down to 1w possible

Probably still pissed at him for his goal post climbing shenanigans.

 

[Athomas]

Normally try to avoid Round 2 trades but might have to this year.

Danger > someone if 2+ weeks, Walsh my current feel

Don't think Jordon is a must yet, so won't go early on him.

Daniher my other "issue" but doubt he gets suspended so should hold for now. I hate key position players, at least was too expensive in DT/AF... which I care way less about than SC though! Haha

 

[Zimmer]

Two of these maybe. Maybe none.

Danger possibly >
Brockman > Jordan?
Fullarton >

 

[TigerTime]

Will probably restructure if Danger is out for a couple and trade him to Mills. Let's me get an extra fwd rookie on instead of Sharp/Highmore
Other than that A Fyfe to Jordan will be my planned rd 3 trade if he still looks good

 

[blue dreamer]

Hopefully none.
But the rest of you are welcome to burn yours 😉

Well couple of hundred from the Rucks from the Brisbane Swans Game, which gives some hope.

Interesting will be today 3 fixtures.

Watching yesterdays Melbourne Game......Gawn looked completely lost on the field.....was chasing the ball for 4 quarters. Always on the scene a few seconds late.

 

[McLovin]

How are Campbell or Cahill owners feeling after last night? Going early on Jordon could easily be a mistake, but I'd having to think about trading Cahill to him this week so I've got trades to deal with potential issues with any of Clark, Gawn, Neale, Cripps or Bailey after round 2.

The same thing seemed to happen to Harris Andrews. It's a completely different game for that sort of player, at least for now.

 

[Erek22]

Bench Danger in the forwards (expect he gets a 2 week holiday), Brockman to Dyson, Grundy to anyone well priced to be scoring 80 odd, any other weak link becomes Titch.

 

[BomberSam]

Will anyone consider moving Danger on to the next best option if he gets 2 weeks? Probably Dusty or Dunkley for those that don't have them.

I don't want to waste trades early on (or ever) but when going for overall rank it pays to trade aggressively. Where do we draw the line between aggressive and impatient/foolish?

I usually price trades at 150 points on average, more than that early in the season.

If I think a trade can add that much to my end of season total, and it’s the best trade I can do, I do it.

Thanks Darkie, it's really good to have a quantifiable system on which to base these decisions.

 

[Ricky Bobby]

If Danger is out for 3, would anyone consider trading him to TMitch ?
