Strategy 2022: Round 5 Trades

[Santoz]

Ward vs Gibcus to turn into O'Driscoll?

 

[Bermi]

From what I have read he is their main distributor/rebounder from HB and next man in at stoppages.

No idea how many points he scores direct from stoppages v CBA though (and every other player to be honest).

People get carried away out on here because players attend/don't attend CBA's , actually means diddly squat if they are not getting possessions from the CBA , someone like Keays for example will attend CBA with the sole purpose of negating/stopping the opposition's main mid and no intent at all on winning his own ball , perfect example latest game when he went to Parish to try and stop Draper hitting 10 o'clock go him , to then Essendon X & Y become more important.

Would love to see a stat showing % of HO to particular players and then what that player does with the ball eg disposal , held up , dispute etc etc

Again though who wins the ball though direct and what they do with it , if it just becomes a immediate ball up flankers & wingers are all in around the stoppage in any case so they they become the target and not necessarily the 3 who started the CBA.

Same as around the ground , multiple stoppages , players that are winning the ball here may not be the ones that attend the majority of CBA's.

Probably more stoppages during a game than actual CBA's in any case.

RE:........he (Sinclair) is their main distributor/rebounder from HB.........
Last year, 30yo Ziebell avg 108 when moved to halfback. I will be keeping an eye on Sinclair.

You make some good points regarding CBA attendance.

 

[Socrates2]

Considering trading out Bowey ($370,000) and Butters ($454,000) for Sam Docherty ($569,000) and O'Driscoll ($167,000) with $95,000 'profit' .
Then next week or the week after ,upgrading Rowell to Touk Miller, Oliver or Parish and downgrading Xerri and playing Dixon on field in the forward line when/if Preuss comes back.
Docherty is pricey but not many have him and he looks a top 3 defender imo.

 

[Socrates2]

Ward vs Gibcus to turn into O'Driscoll?

Ward has more upside but Gibcus should keep his place.

 

[Bermi]

Ward vs Gibcus to turn into O'Driscoll?

I think Ward has a better chance for a spike game.

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Shifted Stephens last week, so don't really have anyone to flick for NOD, hoping for no trades this week, then Gibcus to Pruess next week when the extra DPPs get added.

 

[AryaBosses]

Ward has more upside but Gibcus should keep his place.

Gibcus definitely the one to trade, NOD also has great JS but much better scoring potential. Plus saves you 50K doesn't it

Tough at the Top - Round 4

Table showing the SC price movements so far - from opening salaries.
As someone mentioned last week, the declining Magic Number in the pricing formula, generally leads to price drops from the high salary brackets, however I reckon most of these declines are coming from lower scoring.

 

[bomberboy]

Strongly considering Ward and Stephens to Dixon and O'Driscoll to open up D/M and F/R loops over the next few weeks. Leaves my team looking like with 5 trades used and 87k in the bank:

Def: Short, Crisp, Whitfield, Hewett, Hinge, McCartin (Gibcus, SDK)
Mids: Miller, Steele, Neale, Cripps, Rowell, Coniglio, JHF, ND (Dow, Rachele, NOD)
Ruck: Grundy, Jackson (Dixon)
Fwd: Dunkley, Heeney, Butters, Brodie, Xerri, Martin (Durdin, Hayes)

Any moves I'm missing?

just missing Heeney I see you

So Jackson is a POD and while he's been rlly good thus far, I'd trade him to Witts as Witts is a much more reliable pick
I think you should hold with Ward as there is potential for a spike game
I'd say go Gibcus to NOD and Stephens to Dixon...if you are willing to make that extra trade then go Jackson to Witts but you do you

 

[pizza safety]

he was reformed as a defender last year, running off half back

ended up averaging 86 for the year, yet the second half of year went 95+

id say after playing a year in the role, that natural progression wouldve seen him quite clearly a breakout contender, in fact i had him as a top 10 defender this year.

many think the midfield role is why hes scoring well, although it may have been a factor, 0% cba last week shows he is clearly no amateur in the half back role

i can see him dropping off a bit because current scoring probably not sustainable, but a 100 avg definilty possible and i am really mad i took him out the day of the first game

Did not know the 95 avg split from last year, definitely gives him more appeal but I would say a 95 avg isn’t going to make him a worthwhile pick among this years defenders

 

[AngryAnt]

Would non Brodie owners consider trading someone like Xerri to him? He could end up forward keeper, Xerri probably will end up averaging 80 odd, still make some cash but will need to be traded out anyway at some stage.

Logic says: He's worth some thought, maybe too much of a side trade.
Emotions says: you missed the boat, suck it up.

Pre-trades:

Personally I don't mind trading Cripps out even if he is only a one week out - the injury score means two weeks to look at him before he starts rising in value again upon return. The glaring hole in my side is Macrae (who plays North this week!), so he's a pretty clear target.

In order to make that happen, I need about 50k on my other trade. Hinge to NOD gets me there but the mid rookies don't - and I'm much less inclined to trade Hinge for a one-weeker given he still has money to make. The only other rookies that get there are Rachele and McCartin (Gibcus is about 7k short) - Rachele has lots more to make but McCartin could stall soon, though I think his role is too good to ignore as well.

Given I've used one boost already (but still 31 trades total in the bank), would you be inclined to move on:
a) Hinge or McCartin to get Macrae,
b) two of the mid rookies (and use a boost) to get Macrae,
c) pick a different target, or
d) hold Cripps?

hold cripps and possibly use petracca to get macrae

 

[Courtesans]

Same same. Feel it would need to be a genuine premo in, and many feel like they’ve got more room to

Exactly the same predicament. Before I reverse trades for the umpteenth time its Hinge to O'Driscoll, Cripps to Macrae.

Hinge & Cripps to NOD & Macrae quite comfortably for mine.

Of the mids who've played at least 3 games, only Macrae, Petracca and Brayshaw have matched or improved on last year's average.
