Strategy Round 6: Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
A fit premium with a 90 base (you won’t find many other players with a season low of 90 or more) and he’s become a trade out target.
Yes it’s not the role any of us expected and the big scores do look allusive, but I think i need to see the 70’s before trading out fit quality, despite the role.
I also think that against the Dogs mids they’ll want his quality closer to the action but admit this is not a view supported by evidence to date.

First off, congratulations on a great start!
A couple of things to consider though:
It's a marathon, not a sprint! No use trading aggressively and being top 10 in round 10-15, only to fall away by the end.
The value of the trade and results need to be considered over the whole season, not just for this week and next.
Usually the most successful teams will trade hard early when needed to correct essential rookies/whatever and then again during the byes to 'slingshot' and gain an extra premium score or two. The rest of the year should be spent strategically upgrading and managing the team as best you can. Bringing in or starting with a positive POD is a good one too, though this is a lot more difficult than it seems!

I prefer Treacy over Mansell because Treacy can eventually hide at R3 as a DPP swing option when Flynn is ready to trade out. Unfortunately, Mansell is stuck in Defence where bench cover is already questionable.
Who do you downgrade Flynn to if you don't get Treacy now? I don't own Fullarton anymore, so my trade out options are extremely limited. Jordon Sweet or Nick Bryan could be an option possibly, but neither are DPP.
My main concern is whether I am able to carry a Waterman & Treacy forward bench (with Rowe F6 currently) for the next 4-5 weeks until Flynn is ready to trade out (best case assuming no more Mumford interruptions).
