Strategy 2022: Round 3 Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
Agree. I wouldn't be taking Preuss as a long term play at R2 and only Hayes as cover. That's asking for trouble.
However, I'm happy to take the risk on Preuss for one week (rucking solo without Flynn) and bring in English next week (as a forward) for the cover / looping. It's an extra $40k for English but at $525k he's still a good buy. It's pretty clear after three rounds that English can be top 6 forward and possibly a top 2 ruck.
I went Dusty to Heeney.
Now looking at
Gawn -> Preuss
Gov -> Trac
Leaves me enough cash to get Berry to English next week.

Now wondering whether I need an English plan for next week, he'll be ~537k after a rise this week.
Gawn > Rachele
Chapman > Hewett
The above double leaves me with 353k (preserves the trade boost) to do McGovern > English. I would then have the below team with 32 trades and around 80k:
Stewart, Short, Whitfield, Hewett, McCartin, Hinge (SDK, Gibcus)
Macrae, Touk, Oliver, Neale, Rowell, Horne, Daicos, Stephens (Ward, Macdonald, Hough)
Grundy, English (Hayes)
Dunkley, Butters, Coniglio, Brodie, Xerri, Rachele (Martin, Dixon)
Thoughts? Only 'concern' I see is No Cripps.

I had decided to, but I'm now unsure.
My plan was to trade
1. Gawn to Jackson
2. Long (FD) to Hewett (via SDK forward)
(the SDK <> McCartin D/F link would be handy)
But if Long is named as a starter, it seems a bit counterintuitive. If he's a sub then it's even more problematic.
It really comes down to if Hewett is a must?, and the money Gawn will lose vs what Hewett (or Long) will make.
Can anyone remind me of Long's scoring potential and JS?
Does Hewett keep up this level of scoring as well?
I can't really work it out.
Any advice super welcome.
*(Also on some wicked painkillers at the moment, so I'll need all the help I can get - or maybe I'll make better decisions. Doubtful though.)

I’d really like to see Darcy miss a couple, then do Gawn > Meek for a couple of weeks, then Meek > Preuss and eventually get the Beard back, but probably getting ‘too cute’ and will backfire big time and I’ve wasted a few trades when the play is prob just to back the big fella in. I feel I have enough cows not to worry about Gawns $$ loss, it’s the onfield points that I need. McGov will go for Xerri depending on how Rachele goes tonight. Prob have to give Cripps &/or Hewett a miss at this rate.. too many decisions.
Everyone knows @Ben's Beasts is Max Gawn, right?

Ummed and ahhed about trading Gawn, probably would've gone to English, but ultimately couldn't find anywhere obvious to spend the extra cash, so decided to hold. Though i'd be lying if I said watching English go huge last night didnt make me feel a little uneasy.
McGovern out has forced my trading hand, so think i'll go
McGovern > Caldwell and leave it at that
Still need to get Martin in, and I reckon O'Driscoll might be in for a run of games so wouldnt mind getting him in too....DPP is appealing.
So may consider pulling the trigger on one of these two this week to allow myself some more flexibility next week...
