Strategy 2022: Round 2 Trades
- Thread starter THCLT
- Start date
I'd highly consider at least watching a game of Blakey with Lloyd before making this move.
I love Blakey but Lloyd is a very significant piece of information. He looked great last week, took the majority of kick-ins, kicked just about perfectly, didn't get injured and lose a quarter and still only scored 98. Lloyd is going to steal most of those kick-ins I would bet, he'll also steal a few touches from him.
Heeney is a sound pick, durability is his issue but otherwise he's going to be a keeper level forward and if his role from last round can hold up he's going to be better than that but I would also hazard that Parker playing forward so much was more a hot hand than a plan, Heeney did rot up forward until Parker started kicking goals like he's Gary Ablett Sr and then stayed forward for the majority.
Also worth noting that Sydney played just about perfect last week, if we play at that level all season we win a flag, so there's definitely some regression to the mean for the whole side on the cards.
That said, I'm ready to cull Ridley also

)Pre-season game was with Lloyd, but yes it’s not the real thing. Blakey did have 28 in that game (22 last week)
I don’t normally trade Round 2 but feeling pretty confident... will see how it goes.. and yeah I want Ridley out, want my Stephens/Rachele loop this week, want Heeney etc

Reminder that trades out can be reversed even if the player traded in has already played.
For example, if you rage traded out Crisp for Hewett and the news comes through this morning that Whitfield is out indefinitely with a herniated disc in his back, you can bring Crisp back in and trade out the injured Whitfield instead notwithstanding that Hewett played last night.

Well you don't really end up with the locked player back anywhere, because they don't go anywhere as part of the trade reversal. They're locked on the line they were on when their game started.
So in the example above if you traded out say Steele for Hewett and moved Hewett to DEF (via Worner DPP), Hewett would be locked on that DEF line. But you could then reverse the Steele trade out and trade out say Berry instead.

Personally I think the bigger issue is a lack of keepers, so bringing in another MP player could leave you in strife! I would consider Chapman to Hall, scoring looks as elite as last year and is a nice POD as only in 3% of teams. Will shore up your back line nicely too. If the cash allows you could still do berry to Rowell but have a feeling you'll fall just short so would wait an extra week.
