Strategy 2022: Round 6 Trades

[Tamuhawk]

So Bailey Smith missed out on dpp, is he any chance of getting it in the future?

Watching that game over the weekend, it's very unlikely. But not in the realm of impossible as he was hovering around something like 33% fwd, 67% mid prior to Rd 5.

 

[Feerits Elf]

You must have a very strong fwd line and midfield line if you're not willing to field arguably 2 of the best averaging rookies going around.

Martin 86 average
Hayes 89 average

(Only Daicos 87 narrowly beats out Martin.)

It's not that unreasonable to only want to field one is it?

Of 14 onfield spots:

4 premo mids (say Macrae Steele Brayshaw Green)
4 premo forwards (say English Dunkley Heeney Butters)
Neale and Cripps
Coniglio and Brodie
Daicos (if in mids) and Xerri

That's 14, so theoretically there's people who are fielding neither Martin nor Hayes.

I've got Martin benched and no onfield mid rookies (thanks to Daicos DEF eligibility).

 

[whiteTiga2k]

Is Rosas a must?

I watched the game on the weekend and he was quite impressive when he was around the ball. I'm a little scared to bring in a full fledged small forward though.

It's either him or SHayes atm.. I don't think I cN get both without losing my r/f link... and I don't want to do that.

Does Port have any other Ruckman? Or is Hayes pretty much who they'll use till Lycett returns?

This was very much team specific towards the person I was replying to. Have a look at their team. They wanted Rosas but not willing to field Hayes.

Hold up, if you can see his team why are you saying he must have a very strong fwd line and midfield line? You can see for yourself

But yeah, for my money Rowell out for Rosas. Could always play Ward onfield if not confident on Martin

 

[Socrates2]

I'm interested in Bailey Smith($523,000) as a mid upgrade mainly due to price, the Bulldogs easy upcoming fixture plus he's stlll an outside dpp chance.
He also fits my bye rounds strategy.

Bulldogs next play Adelaide, Ess, Port, Coll, Gold Coast, West Coast, Geelong and then bye round.

 

[Feerits Elf]

As tempting as Smith is, that's a lot of Bulldogs premiums all wanting a piece of the same pie (English, Macrae, Bont, Dunkley, Treloar, Smith, Dale, Daniel).

Someone I would definitely look at too, if I didn't already have 4 dog premiums in mid and forward.

If you avoid all Crows, Suns, Cat, Swans & Eagles.

This could be your round 13 bye bench.
DEF: (Daniel, Dale)
MID: (Macrae, Bont, Bazlenka)
RUC: (English)
FWD: (Dunkley, Treloar)

If you had them all this weekend you would have scored 8/1078 (Macrae C)

Also Libba not far behind on 83.

I've gone away from Smith now and bringing in Steele plus 110k in the bank instead.
Dumping JFH instead of dud rook.

I think it works as long as you have only 2 on each mid and fwd line, i.e. Macrae + Smith, English + Dunkley

If you have Bont/Treloar that throws a spanner in the words

If you have Dale/Daniel in defence you're toast

 

[Herbie66]

sorry man but don't like fielding both jack hayes and nic martin

Jack Hayes just scored 100 + , probably a simple upgrade in one round

Ok fix your defence then because Hinge/McCartin are averaging less than Hayes & Martin

 

[bloke]

Not sure what to do this week.

Think my biggest issue I want to address is having to play Gibcus/McCartin/De Koning at D6 when I have better rookies on the bench on other lines. If I can somehow manufacture something to swing Daicos into defense, would be much better balanced.

Thinking Rowell and JHF probably the ones that need to go, appear to be the weakest links at this stage.

Rowell > Preuss (via Martin to mids and Dixon to FWD)
JHF > Rosas

These would be preferred trades I think, but don't help my defense.

Can anyone see a way I can swing this to get Daicos in the backline?

Try Gibcus to Rosas

 

[froffershanners]

Anyone considering bringing in Steele worried about the risk of him getting LAMB'ed* on Friday night?

*Getting tagged by Lachie Ash and Matt De Boer.

Already have him but they didn't target Oliver/Petracca so you might be lucky

 

[Feerits Elf]

I feel like my list is too vanilla. My only POD is Dawson and he's not a terrific one

 

[Borris]

Early thoughts:

McCartin/Hinge > Rosas
Berry > English

Loving all the DPP possibilities that have opened up

 

[Dazza]

Looking at

JHF and Rowell out
BrayshawFreo and Hobbs in
One of my Mid/Fwd will need to go into the Mids
Preuss comes back in, English will go Fwd

 

[Maso]

Looking at doing -
Out JHF , move Hollands to mid , bring in Rosas
then
Out Rowell , move Martin to mid , Dekoning to fwd , Daicos to def and then bring in Steele or Brayshaw (freo)
