Strategy 2022: Round 3 Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
For me it’s a $$$ value decision to trade him out.
Ironically going down to Jackson but it frees up $$$ for other problem areas and gets a rookie off the field.
And if Gawn goes big in 3 or 4 weeks, role looks good etc then go back again. But Jackson should hopefully make $$$ in the meantime. Gawn drops some $ over the next few weeks, 5 extra trades helps.
It’s not like he has burnt me and it’s a rage trade, happy to go back to the beard again if I can.

Yeah, went back and had a look and it was kind of a perfect storm:
CBAs, TOG a little down (think that stays a while like that, they're blooding the kids)
Tackles down a touch (again, likely to stay a touch suppressed)
DE a disgrace, FAs up (likely revert to more customary levels)
Disposals down (corollary of TOG / CBA to an extent)
TLDR: Turfed him,cheers 🥂

Now have a 10-7-5 setup
Blakey
Rowell , Berry , Brodie
...
Coniglio , Curnow , Xerri
Hinge , McCartin
Daicos , JHF
Hayes (Dixon)
Hayes (Dixon) @ R2 the obvious risk , fingers crossed one works until Xerri gets DPP
Hopefully all my onfield $200k+ MP & Rookies can hit $ 350k ish + ASAP (obviously need the patience to wait) then do 3 upgrades Round 6 or 7.
Round 4 Rachele/Stephens - > Martin via Long or Durdin to Long
Round 5 see if Preuss is a viable option

That's the plan , I guess Blakey & Rowell will both be closer to $ 400k hopefully so it might be a case of maybe Hinge , Berry , Curnow being a quick upgrade or if Fyfe is back by then Brodie might have maxed out.
Obviously if they are scoring well enough I will try and hold onto them as long as possible.
Hopefully Coniglio is a keeper and Xerri is viable long term.
Cashed out Gawn when Hayes was named (fingers crossed it works or Preuss works or Xerri works or I just thrown my hands up in the air) 😀
Didn't really know which replacement ruck to pick (captain hindsight would suggest English was the trade to do , toyed with ROB but then thought nah let's wait and see for a few rounds)
Not confident in my bench all making the magic $ 150k each and who knows what/when downgrade options appear , so hope to get in 3 upgrades before starting to downgrade.
Have my eye on the BE of half a dozen premium defenders that hopefully drop down to $ 525k ish each + 3 mids to $ 575k ish.
Just need Dunkley , Heeney , Butters , Cogs , Curnow to do the job up forward + Xerri (or Hayes or Martin) depending where he ends up.
Daicos & JHF if they get DPP opens up a few interesting trade options as well.
McCartin could be a slow burn but his DPP could be advantageous.
May or may not work and probably looking too far ahead , but gives me a idea of what I would like to do Round 4-7.
Once prices change at the end of this round (for those that have played 3 games) will give a greater indication on BE , price projections etc etc and can start looking/planning for some trade targets more definitively

Not sure I will be downgrading in Round 5.
Doubt too many of Gibcus , SDK , Rachele , Stephens , Ward , Dixon , Durdin , Long 🍩 would have made enough $ by then to warrant a trade.
One needs to go next round for Martin though.
Need to be flexible though , if the debutant rookies look must haves and my current bench rookies are dropped or about to lose $ may have to trade them out.
Have had issues in the past trading out seemingly dud rookies , only for them to reappear and perform well.
Just need to continue to reassess everything at the end of each round.
Round 6 or 7 hopefully will be triple upgrade round , maybe even Round 5 if possible.
Just need to check prices , BE & projections at the end of this round and zone in on some D & M targets

Could very well be a option either to Martin or a premium ruck if things don't look viable today or tomorrow.
Be nice if Durdin pumped out a 50+ again , Stephens might not survive , Swans seemingly have 8-12 players that can all play multiple positions/similar roles.
Will hold Rachele.
Depends on how Ward goes as well.
Have you seen his new BE ?
SPP certainly knocked the stuffing out of him , then he got another hit/tackle later in the game as well.
Port play first next round as well so will need to make a decision early.
