Strategy Round 8: Trades
- Thread starter IDIG
- Start date
@Lost In The Sky and @GrainFedBeef have pretty much echoed what I would've said.
I was surprised he got such a score over the weekend but looking at his heat map he spent more time running through the midfield and got a lot more touches than usual. But that WCE vs. Freo match was one of the most open games I've seen all year. It felt like there was hardly any tackle pressure applied in the midfield from either team! It's like "yea here you go have the ball and do whatever you want" lol
I think against better teams with better defensive setups he won't score as well unless he kicks a bag of goals. Sensible decision to pass as he'd be a risky pick with not much potential for reward. There's better options for you to spend your trades on!

Well it looks like given today's events I have no choice but to take the value options:
Duggan and Chapman to May and Daniel
Will leave around 100k to work on getting Ridley over the coming weeks.
Laird will have to go to the MID, maybe permanently and will probably close the door Lloyd, but you get that.

Farewell to Flynn with Warner staying and Rowe relegated to the bench. RCD will be looped with A Scott via F Macrae.
Out: M Flynn and H Chapman
In: S May and R Collier-Dawkins
Backline complete with Ridley a possibility via moving Laird to the mids in the coming rounds but will likely prioritise M8 and F6 first.

Howe is listed as 1-2 weeks away and with Moore returning to his CHB role where he belongs Keane will be the out when Howe comes back to the team.
Murphy made an impression last week and he's got talent, size, good hands, isn't shy about doing the messy defensive stuff when required and can run a bit in a wingman role so he's probably the better chance to stick, IFF he can stay healthy.

Now that Frederick is out I'm going with Rowe -> Murphy via J. Clark and Finlay DPP. The question mark over Murphy will be staying healthy as I think his JS should be pretty decent given out team. Not such a bad thing that Frederick is out though as he's still a strong one-down if he gets another game in the next few weeks (eyeing off Whitfield or Lloyd in that timeframe so a Frederick downgrade will be very handy).
Will bypass May now that he'll have to play more of a defensive role down back and will have another look at Daniel this week to see if he's worth bringing in next week (would mean Laird shifting to M8 permanently but so be it).
Likely wont make a second trade which means at wearing a donut again at R2, but I can't justify getting someone else in as a short term rental who I'll be trading out in a couple of weeks, despite the noticeable damage it's doing to my scoring every week. Desperately need Flynn to get a game for the next couple of weeks though to close the gap with Gawn.
