Strategy 2022: Round 5 Trades

Agree, I'm saying with the Hill move it'll be less crowded for Sinclair off halfback. 0 CBA's last game so thats not where he getting his points from. Sinclair's roles looked good towards the end of last year, but it didn't really show up in Supercoach points until the last 3 games (100 pt ave). Hill was still the preferred kick out of defense last year but not this year.
I actually started with Hill after seeing his preseason game but had been thinking Sinclair all pre season but didn't see the role early on to pull the trigger!
Hall and Ziebell are probably fair comparisons as to what we are seeing from Sinclair over the last dozen games. Both had not averaged above 95/96 in their previous careers in other roles. Ziebell had 2 seasons of 95 averages in the 12 years prior to last year. And Hall had 9 seasons with a best of 96 prior to last year.
Despite those records and in Halls case, throw in his injury prone nature folks jumped on board and have been rewarded.
the questions are, can he maintain his good start to the season? And if does it for the rest of the year, will it continue into future years or will he regress?

Worth flagging, Ratten said during the week that Hill will return to half back. It was a specific role change for last week based on the way the Hawks setup that saw him go forward, and that he’d only go forward based on matchups going forward.
Obviously nothing gospel, but worth noting. I don’t think Hill impacts Sinclair much at all across half back anyway. They are both the blokes that the Saints would want the ball in the hands of, and if anything, Hill would take some of the defensive attention off Sinclair.

Completely agree, being a ruckmen doesn't guarantee points, just look at Reeves this year. Don't rate any of the 3 Eagles rucks as trade in targets. Can't see them scoring enough, plus there's only space for 2 and its anyones guess which 2 will play.
Dixon has worked well for those who started him but I doubt hes worth trading in for 60k more, especially when it means culling a rookie early.

Agree with keeping Butters - I'm missing Hewett (didn't get Cripps either) so was thinking of Butters to him but I'm still backing him to be a top 6 forward. Rowell could throw up another 160 but he's not a keeper so the better option I think. I'm looking at trading Hinge to NOD which I don't like but Ward, McDonald or Stephens doesn't give me enough cash unfortunately and I think NOD is fieldable until I put Daicos back.
Prefer Bont to Parish I think.

I know very sideways but any consideration of going Ryan > Short? Ryan has only had 1 high scoring game so far, it seems Chapman/Young/Clark all in the backline is effecting his scoring this season. Short has been super consistent scoring over 100 every round & in his role I can see that happening all season long/ certain top 6 defender.
So NOD seems to be the consensus pick this week, bit how reliable is he, and is he going to be a multi week option.
The against are the likes of Tucker etc returning, and the fact that he's had the 100 last week, bit less than 50 the previous 2 weeks (sub affected? I don't watch close enough to know). It screams to me that there's a risk planning beyond this week's price rise.
O know Erasmus isn't DP, and has the same issues around returning players, but it doesn't seem that it's a lay down misere that NOD is the best rookie pickup at Freo, let alone across the league...
Am I overthinking?
