Strategy Round 3: Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
It’s like driving blind trying to trade on these long weekends! Really this season is the same as last year (insert poo emoji) 😂
Would’ve gone H Jones > Impey, if Jones was dropped after his massive 5 pts last week! But too many injuries down at bomber land!
So went Cripps/A.Fyfe to Impey/JordOn via B Campbell.
And could have a 🍩 in def with Highmore dropped, Kosi talked of being dropped and Sharp locked in def already!
It is what it is!
Cripps value looked good at his price $$$ but after 2 games he looks a shell of his former self and won’t IMO be top 10 mid, no rebound happening there!

Defender rookies are on the rocks so I’ve made my first trade of the year. Looking ahead, I want to avoid the rookie selection headaches and get them off the field. Laird a temporary move to the mids this week but will have HYoung as my D6 moving forward.
Pains me to move Fyfe to facilitate this but I have to justify it in that he may be affected by the concussion in upcoming games as well as spending heavy minutes up forward, which I didn’t like. Ridley looks to be one of the top defenders this year and the new gull of SC scoring.
Fyfe>Ridley
B: Laird Ridley Daniel Stewart Short Young

Cripps to Mills done so far by moving Clark to mids. Highmore out threw a spanner in the works as I am carrying Sharp in my backs. Means I am running 4 premo mids - off which 2 are Jelly and Zerrett (underwhelming start) - but allows me to cover Clark if he is out this week. Kosi at D6 (not ideal). Hope Dow makes the cut otherwise may need to use a trade there or rely on Jones.
Don't like the news I am hearing of Cripps so don't wish to carry him again. Bloody tough choice out of Mills and Ridley. I keep coming back to Mills new role as a mid. Even if he does need to move back occasionally, he has shown last year that he can score well there too. Also like his lower ownership numbers. Logic is sound so hope I have swung the right way.

This Geelong monday game is really doing my brain in.
Original plan was Jones/Dow to Warner/Impey. But I have Clark/Koschitzke as D5,6
Just tinkering I see I can go Jones to Warner as planned, then Phillips to Ridley pushing Clark into the mids which can then at least have Sharp as a floating donut. And if Clark is cooked I can downgrade him.
That however leaves Dow/Brockman at F5/6. But if Phillips does end up being a poor pick that doesn't matter as much. Also makes me feel better on passing on tex as that move cant happen with him.
I can also do similar but Cripps out instead of Phillips.
