Strategy Round 5: Trades
- Thread starter IDIG
- Start date
Don't really think Stronger is much more than a very short term money grab.
He has never averaged more than 78 a season and not really had a purple patch of say 5 100's in a six week period.
While he will attend a few Centre Bounces, and a couple more than if Shiel and Caldwell weren't injured I still think he will need a bag of goals to crack the ton each week.
Good luck to ya Pete, I hope it does go well as it means the Bombers will also go very well too!

Haven't traded, yet. Waterman and Parks are 2 bubble boys on my radar for this week, Jones and Treacy next week.
I don't feel like I'm burning trades if I'm taking out rookies (who have maxed out or are non playing for those that look like they'll generate a bit of cash) I'm treating these trades as part of the upgrade cycle and should end up with around 400k after next week (and a kickstart for cash gen)
I'm going to be very careful about who to bring in before the byes because that's where I see myself making up a bit of ground

I'd also hold off on the "Mate" move (M8). I reckon the perfect guy to target for that is Brayshaw who's shown the premo ceiling we're looking for but had a rough time of things the past few weeks. Should be able to pick him up dirt cheap once that 40 has fully cycled through his pricing over the next fortnight.
His susceptibility to the tag is a concern so we'll need to monitor that over the next two weeks. But if we can grab him around the $450K mark I personally prefer that option than the others guys you mentioned in that kind of price bracket.

If I knew Kosi was playing, I would have no hesitation in going Daniel to Dunkley (via Sharp) but with the likelihood of eating a donut (Kosi, Sharp, Highmore D6-8), I'd rather play it safe and trade Daniel to a defender.
I feel like I can wait a week on Dunkley as he should only go up 10k or so with a 130. The issue will be finding the cash to make that happen next week without culling Campbell (who I am bullish on holding) let alone Gulden/Warner or one of my midpricers in Atkins who I am still hoping might be an F6.

It’s funny how quick we flip our minds. 5 mins later I’m set on just one trade. Daniher to waterman. Maybe wait for Oliver to get cheaper and not pay full price for Steele. Looking to next week too need room for jones. So getting Ridley in makes that harder for me. then next week Oliver Jones in.

Think I'm holding fire this week. Means I'm passing on Waterman but that'd give me Rowe, Bergman and Waterman and I don't want any of them on field.
Daniher is starting to be a bit of a worry but I'm giving him this week - if he's going to go bananas against anyone surely it's Essendon. If he can't do that I think it'll be time to cut my losses. That plus Daniel, who I'm going to hold for a week (Chapman is cover) should be able to get me Oliver at what is likely to be his lowest point next week. If Daniher does spike I can find someone else to use to the same or similar effect... hopefully!
