Strategy Round 3: Trades

[EyeloveRichmond]

Cripps to Ridley through Sharp (goes to the mid bench), Fyfe to Titch, Jordon or Powell on the field.

Nice team

Thanks very much Shannon, much appreciated. Liking your suggestion... Good luck for the season ahead.

With good cash generation this year with the rookies, I think it is crazy trading out your under performing premium players after round 2.
If you think Neale will average 90 this year and not be a top 10 mid, by all means pull the trigger, but he wont average 90, will be more like 110-115. Cripps same boat, started slow but is one game away from bursting the dam wall and having a 5 round 130 ave.
If rookies were not generating $$ and we needed every cent to count, yeah I understand the trade/s, but this year will be like no other, rookies are booming and there will be teams with full of uber premiums on each line. Those that sideways trade now will be the ones that won't benefit.
There's 23 rounds this season with 30 trades, will be injuries to key players, don't waste your petrol early putting the foot the floor.

I agree with the sentiment, but not sure it applies to Cripps. He's been well under good Mid Premium in 2 of the last 4 seasons, and seemingly is playing injured. He's not the rock solid Prem a lot of people think he is. His good years he was on his own, and crashed his way through to good scores. His crash has diminished, and he's got more help these days. IF I owned him, I'd probably trade him.

Almost 11,000 teams have traded Taylor Walker in so far.

Jones to Jordon worth it? Seems like I get a decent on field option, albeit I lose some DPP links to do it.

That's my trade this week.

Right, with the Cripps news things become a little bit more straightforward. Him and a rookie (perhaps Sharp?) out and two missed cash cows in.

Given who I have and who I don't, the options are Jordon, Impey, Tex, and Berry. Probably in that order.

Equally it opens up the option of just moving Cripps sideways (Walsh? Brayshaw? Dusty?). Which is the more important path here? Cash or immediate points?

 

[Beg2Differ]

Gaff
Neale
Duggan
Jones
Heppell
Phillips
McNeil

Thanks mate.

Certainly agree with the top 3 but not sure about the order. Number 1 agreed but just need to work out if I back in Neale.

 

[Peter56]

Looking at going a little different.

Tom Phillips to Tex Walker. Pure cash grab, B/E -114. Almost forced into the trade. Already have Atkins and Impey.
Then,
Taranto to Dunkley. While I expect Taranto going at 90's, I can see Dunkley going 105 -110 and will be a forward keeper.

I am thinking the same moves.

Cripps making my trades more interesting.

Maybe Cripps->Dunks. Means passing on Campbell but🤷🏽‍♂️

 

[Mudflap]

Out - Cripps, Clark
IN - Oliver,Powell

Decided to hold Duggan and Phillips. Both on borrowed time but survive for another week or two

2020 players that were averaging 120+ after Round 2, and how their seasons finished.

Excellent post, thank you.

You can probably argue either way for certain players, but if you strip out all of those who performed at premium level before, I can only see one of the remainder who actually broke out last year and proved to be a great keeper (Steele).

I reckon there are 10+ that ended up being bad picks ... poor odds!

 

[Dazza]

Cripps to Oliver
Heppell to Warner

Laird, Stewart, Short, Morrison, H. Young J. Clark / Koschkitze Sharp
Oliver, Macrea, Neale, Taranto, Jordon, Powell, Campbell, Gulden / S. Berry, A. Scott, A. Fyfe
Gawn, Grundy / Flynn
Martin, Dunkley, Phillips, Fantasia, Warner, Brockman / Bergman Rowe

Any advice is welcome

 

[Philzsay]

Just reminiscing about 2015, when Tex scored 177 in Rd 1 and a whole bunch of people traded him in.

Only to score 72, 76, 26 and 76 the next 4 weeks.

Impey is like Ziebell, off the half back. good role in this game style

Can someone confirm if Impey was playing off half back (I could watch the game). I read on a different site he started forward.

 

[<actus]

I’m considering:

Tom Phillips to Andy Brayshaw.

Can anyone make a good case against that trade?

 

[OnTopBar]

Gaff and H Jones out, Warner and JordOn in. Leaves me with 10 on field rookies this week but enough cash to trade Clark to Ridley next week. That'll be it for my 4 corrective/rookie trades, will have to sit tight for another 4 rounds.

Just as an aside, I would like everyone to know that I'm a crap SCer, from my calcs I left 178 pts on the bench this week

Here is his heat map :-

 

[<actus]

I see a few are thinking of trading McNeill and holding Scott.

I thought McNeill did a couple of OK things. Honestly can’t remember seeing Scott at all (watched about two and a half quarters of the dogs game)

Cheers. Based on that Caldwell to Impey likely for me I think.
