Strategy Round 5: Trades

[whydoihavetoo]

Is it worth brining in waterman over a playing rookie...? Any of the dogs/hawks rookies.

 

[Erek22]

Yes, no problem. Here is my current team, pre-trades for this round. View attachment 28732

Meek to sweet to avoid the doughnut?

 

[Shaunpro1]

Good time to get the bench right, set to sit on trades for 3-4 weeks now.

 

[chopsticks]

Think I will pass on Meek>Treacy and just eat the donut for a week.

May end up doing Fullarton>Waterman depending on how McCrae goes tonight, if McCrae lights it up I will pass on Waterman.

 

[teatai]

Trading Daniel out to avoid a donut, wondering is Chapman still worth it after his price rise or risk it on L Jones ?

 

[b00fman22]

Fullarton & Kosi -> Treacy & Waterman; or
Fullarton & Daniel -> Treacy & Waterman and upgrade a mid next week. Or
Fullarton & Daniel -> Hickey & Waterman
Or is it worth copping the donut in the Rucks to do something better?

 

[PlaymakerX]

Lucky I reversed my trades. Escaped a donut via my Grundy/Flynn/Meek setup.

Hasn’t quite panned out as expected for me in the ruck, I’m usually a set and forget kind of player, but was being tight not wanting to fork out for big Gawny and took the Draper!

Only one way to roll, FORWARD.

OUT: Meek/Campbell
IN: Hickey/Waterman

Was anticipating perhaps bringing in Macrae early from the Pies or a tasty priced Heppell from the Dons, but beggars can’t be choosers!

Let’s go SUPERCOACHERS!!!!

Drew dropped, gives me a reason to bring in another Macrae. Not going Waterman, although logic says he's on the bubble.

That will leave me 1 trade. Facing a donut in defence, maybe 2 if Kosi isn't named. Parks injured, Daniel suspended. Highmore waiting in the wings for next week. At least I got my rucks right. 😁

Will bring in Jones or Chapman tomorrow.

 

[Peter56]

Just curious what makes you think this? Joe hasn't set the world on fire. He's been serviceable, but Hipwood gets it more and McStay may return.
Acknowledge the "play the ole team". but I feel I've missed a trick by selecting him over Impey, so am going to correct that this week (and in the hope that Impey is an F5/6 keeper)

Because it is against Essendon. If he does not do well this weekend then he is a trade.

 

[Zim^zuM]

Really unsure what to do with trades this round.
Initially i was only planning the one trade of either Campbell or Jordon to Waterman and bank the cash for next week to bring in a premo def or mid.

Now with the news of Meek dropped and possibly Flynn not coming back in & obtaining the $$$ from the 1st trade, is Meek to Hickey a smart or reasonable trade? It would allow me to get to Grundy or Nic Nat for example in the near future as i went with Gawn, Flynn & Meek as my rucks.

Currently sitting at 193 overall so it's a pretty important decision. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm assuming quite a few teams near you, around you, above you have Flynn at R2. Do you have a perm Capt loophole? Meek to Sweet? Or Def get Hickey or better if u have a failed pick like phillips, you will gain on all the ones that wait for flynn

 

[PlaymakerX]

Let’s be honest.
Bombers are not going to let Joe have the footy on a string.
We got big Truck on board now and the buck stops now.

 

[Johnsy44]

Howe going down may force me to keep Daniel...

 

[Johnsy44]

After a little bit of feedback please. Was set on Dow to Bergman which gives 234k, was then going Daniel to Macrae. However, since making this decision, Howe has gone down and likely needs to be traded next week. Would appreciate any recommendations as now I'm stumped on what to do as I'm burning trades left right and center. Somehow my team continues to get worse each and every week...

You still have Clark in mids who can swing back with Sharp to cover for Daniel this week who won’t lose money if not playing.

Put Berry/Jordon on field in mids.

I’d stick with the Dow out for Bergman/Waterman plan as you may need to go premo ruck next week if Flynn doesn’t return.

Appreciate that mate. Would going Meek to Hickey this week be a good option? and then upgrade him at the byes

Don’t mind that at all. At least you got Grundy in so enjoy that tonight and hope he has a big second half for you.

Out: L Meek and P Dow
In: T Hickey and M Bergman/A Waterman

Move Sharp to the midfield and Clark to the backline. Run Hickey/Flynn for a couple more rounds before upgrading to Gawn. Clark can move back to the midfield next round to allow you to grab Jones at D7.

Perfect! Thank you both very much
