Strategy 2022: Round 5 Trades

[Lgndhen23]

Very torn atm, feel asthough i could quite easily hold, hoping to hold trades and gain advantage late current rank 691

however dixon and odriscoll are very tempting

only real person i have to trade out is benning, and i really like using him as a loop?

do we reckon its worth benning to dixon?

I like your thinking….
shame I didn’t jump on a Dixon earlier either but I didn’t rate his job security…

I like having the floating donut fwd/ruck as it gives you so much flexibility with taking the good rookie scores and could be worth over 200-300 points by the end of the year….

i would rate the Benning donut as more important than the owens one in the mids…
I would move Ward on for O Driscoll which gives you flexibility for crisp and Hewitt coming into the byes…

WHy are you holding Owens? Do you need both him and Benning?

Owen to O'Driscoll makes sense to me...

I'd probably let Dixon slide

An option to keep the Benning loop whilst selecting both of O’Driscoll and Dixon, could be
Out: J Ward and M Owens
In: N O’Driscoll and H Dixon (via J Rachele)

Got an obsession with looping rookies early, reckon it’s highly underrated, can help you gain heaps of points early. Aslong as you don’t miss out on any major cash cows, which I definikty might if odriscall or dixon go crazy.

Cheers @underthedome @maccasmarvels @Connoisseur will def consider one of the rookies to odriscall, (still got faith in ward) the benning to odriscall opens up fwd/def possibilities which is probs more important than mid/def

 

[Crowls]

I think I need to trade but I am still on tilt from Sunday afternoon Carlton Captain debacle. Done Stephens to NOD so far.
Any ideas?

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Seriously considering jumping off Darcy this week. Feels kinda silly after holding him this long.

BE of 235 and just so many ruck cashcows on the horizon.

Might sideways him to Bont this week.

Will then be able to field Pruess at R2 the next week.

 

[Darkie]

Good point with the long flight to Perth….. one week and you consider keeping him…two weeks and it’s likely move him on….

This is a good point - although he’s a Perth boy, maybe he wants to make the trip if he can?

@Bermi

This may be of interest on Sinclair. Was considered elite by CD as a wing a number of years back:

Good read
The more I read about him, the more I like him. He's up there on my list.

Would trade Skinner rather than Stephens I think. Stephens seems much mroe likely to return and make 100k. Other than that, looking good

 

[frosty1]

So have both Ward and McDonald in the midfield. Am keen to move one or even both on. Their cash gen is too low, but they could still end up throwing a spike and making $$.

The move is either to ODriscoll or up to a Brodie or Gresham (I have the cash) who are likely to add 50k more quickly. (But I've clearly missed the majority of their cash gen)

Use the trade for a cash grab, use the cash for a semi-keeper with M/F flexibility, who will also provide cash and a stepping stone, or hold the trade/s

 

[Rumbler]

Considering the following:
Gibcus --> NOD
MacDonald --> Bailey J Williams

This allows one more price rise out of Ward/Stephens. Then can trade one of them next week for Preuss?
What do you all think? Also I haven't used any trades this season yet.

 

[wolfbunny]

Sinclairs role is prob more secure at halfback as the kicker now with Hill moving up the ground to half forward. only Clark coming back in 3 or so weeks would impact imo. Or if the Hill experiment fails, but he looked good there vs Hawks.

 

[Shaunpro1]

Am i missing something with people trading in Williams? Yes Nic Nat is injured but the guy is yet to show he's actually a competent AFL Ruckman, 218K for him to firstly score sufficently for the price and secondly stay ahead of Strnadica and Dixon in the best 22 doesn't feel worth it to me.

Long odds to make that 100-150k for mine whether its because he gets dropped or just scores rubbish by getting monstered by more superior Rucks.

 

[bomberboy]

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

Think I'll steer away from Jackson to Witts - happy to flick Ward over Gibcus to set up the D/M loop but appreciate the feedback!

 

[OnTopBar]

You're waiting on getting the best scorer in the game in the hope that Josh Ward can reignite his cash gen?

When you put it like that it's a no brainer,

If Hayes is not named?

What's the plan?

That's the only query bud

Sinclair has looked good for 12 weeks

Would choose him over Hall atm

I'm thinking now is the time for making cash, so I would lean to that. I'd move MacDonald before Ward, as i think Ward has a better chance for a spike game.
