Strategy 2022: Round 3 Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
Below is the team I fielded last week, including Loops. I got what I regard as a sub-par 2335 /(Macrae).
So to balance my structure and get in Aaron Hall and Heeney I’m contemplating:
1. Gawn > Jackson
2. Worried about Dusty‘s future so D. Martin > Aaron Hall via SDK DPP
3. Should I abandon my Gresham experiment so Gresham > Heeney or give him another week
The team would look like this:
I would welcome your thoughts and suggestions

I'm all over the shop in terms of trades - think I might even just bring in the cows I missed being Stephens and Rachele and try and ride a few bumps out. I'm still not 100% sold that Gawn is done and dusted this season. The play was to start an English or other but not sure trading him for me anyway is the best way to go. Noting what Bowey did last week against the GCS I'm also thinking about giving Whitfield one more shot - leaves the the team as is which touch wood has strong cash generation sitting in a good spot just outside the Top 2000

I would seriously reconsider trading any premiums such as Gawn, Whitfield etc… as the AFL has already told you to be prepared for outs similar to WC last week. Come winter time in Vic, Covid cases will sky rocket and there will be many a changes in our lineups. That’s what your extra trades should be kept for, to have a full team on the park
This is true for the majority of the season, however round 3 I view as a critical round in setting your team up for the future of your season.
It is almost impossible to nail every good rookie/mid pricer/ great value option with your starting team so at round 3 before prices change, I view that as a point in where you look at your overall structure of your team & make the necessary adjustments to put your team in a great position going forward. There were a few 50/50 calls I got wrong (took Gov over Xerri for example) along with my concerns re Gawn with Jackson coming on so rapidly. English looked great in preseason & I was close to starting him, he has continued to impress me in the 2 games so far & the fact he is ruck/fwd enables me to switch him fwd at some point - I think he will average enough to be a fwd line keeper this year.
It is too early too tell who are the must have rucks this year, Grundy is the only one I still have confidence in being one of the top rucks. I want to give myself some time to assess properly in 3/4 weeks (possibly longer
) who I want alongside Grundy in my rucks.By taking English now at the expense of Gawn, it gives me that opportunity & frees up much cash to further strengthen my team overall.
I will likely sit tight over the next few weeks unless any must have rookie is on the bubble/any long term injuries happen.

Three seasons averaging between 94 and 98 without kicking three goals a game.
So with a 140 & 141 in the book already, does that mean he's averaging 90-93 for the rest of the year?

Looking at my team now, the score and cash projections have me gaining 1000k in rnd 3, some of the score projections are a bit off but it's what I'm aiming for to at least keep up with the pack and with a bit of luck, gain ground.

Trouble is bringing Heeney in at whatever price now is somewhat irrelevant if he's not a keeper and generating points for your team. Cash generation means nothing with Heeney, it lessens some risk if he starts to bomb it or gets injured but that's a wasted trade. Yes he's underpriced sure if he averages 140 from here still but let's be honest with ourselves
His 2 games of 140 mean nothing to those of us not starting him, it's from next week yr average starts

I don't see his scoring as sustainable and I'm betting he'll revert back to the mean, he's not going to score 5 goals a game and with a goal or 2 a game he'll drop back to around that 95 average which is not what I want from now on, happy though to pay up if I'm wrong. I'd rather pull in a MP player that will earn more cash and possibly score similarly but that's just the way I'm rolling.
So with a 140 & 141 in the book already, does that mean he's averaging 90-93 for the rest of the year?
