Strategy 2022: Round 5 Trades
- Thread starter THCLT
- Start date
North supporters (or anyone else with a view on it):
Luke McDonald presumably picks up DPP.
Had the one aberrant score, else two solid scores down back and one solid score last week on the wing (should really have gone close to 150, his DE by foot let him down on several occasions).
Any merit in the selection or accident waiting to happen?

Two years ago he was fantastic only to be injured for so much of last year. We have definitely changed up our style under Noble and I didn't think the points would be there for him with Hall and Ziebell back there. Ziebs' success last week up forward will definitely help Lmac's role, but I can't see Ziebs staying forward for the rest of the year.
In saying all of this, I am really unsure where he will be come seasons end. I can see him going above 90 again and its a steal for the price, but will he be able to keep up with the likes of Hall, Lloyd, Short, Hewett, Stewart etc, I don't think so

It's a big opportunity now for Williams with NN out for 12 weeks. When drafted, I was quite excited about him as a prospect, very athletic with a big leap but very raw - I have been waiting for him the last 3 years to really come on to come as an AFL level ruck but have been very disappointed. He occasionally shows glimpses ( v North in the 2nd half this year for example) but most of the time he goes missing. Crunch time for him now, Strnadica was excellent in the WAFL last year & if he didn't get injured in the preseason I would not of been surprised if he was picked ahead of Williams. Dixon's last quarter v pies last week should of been shown to Williams on repeat, that is what is expected from him at ground level. If he doesn't produce on Fri pm I would expect Strnadica to come in for him the following week.

agree. Have been cautious on Bailey preseason and still the same.
If Strnadica comes in, in future weeks, expect ot is for Bailey unless Dixon has underperformed. Simmo has shown his current preference for back up ruck and forward player is Dixon. Oscar hopefully pushes waterman out.
Re Ports Hayes, do we yet know how long Lycett is out. Saints Jayes may hang around longer even when Ryder is back. Hopefully so else has maced out as I expect Saints Hayes needs 7-8 games to mature and will gradually get that.

Your team is as good as any going around on paper, just had bad weeks from a few premos and an unexpected DNP from Stewart.
The question I'd be asking is whether the thought process behind selecting your premos initially has changed over the first four weeks (scores aside)? Has there been a change of role, issues around injury or TOG or anything else of that more predictive nature which would want to make you look elsewhere?
If so then look at moving those players on. If not then you may just be riding out a flat period for premos who are known to produce high scores consistently, because nothing in your premo's averages screams "hit the panic button" from where I'm sitting.

This may mean something, this may mean nothing:
Nth have played: Haw, WC, Bris, Syd.
Those teams have so far played:
Haw: Nth, Port, Carl, StK
WC: GC, Nth, Fre, Coll
Bris: Port, Ess, Nth, Geel
Syd: GWS, Geel, WB, Nth
When looking at what the highest scoring Mid has scored against Nth in each game this year, then comparing to what the highest scoring Mid has scored for that same team, in the other games this year, they are only scoring 2% higher against Nth.
Here is the comparative table for Rucks and mids after Round 4. Looking at only the highest scoring Ruck or Mid eligible player for each team, each Round.

This is my plan
So if Neale goes big as my VC, I trade Connor Macdonald down to a 102K dpp who i can use as a loophole
If Neale doesn't go big and Erasmus is named, I go and trade Macdonald to Erasmus
If Neale doesn't go big and Erasmus doesnt get named, regardless of what happens with Macdonald, no trade happens
