Strategy 2023: Round 2 Trades
- Thread starter Santoz
- Start date
You could maybe justify trading Laird to a Green or LDU if you they think will match Laird for the rest of the season as the cash you make can balance the loss of a trade. I expect those guys to average 110 max, but I don't see Laird dropping his average to that level based on just this one performance.
I would only sideways trade him to another +$600k player if you think he is going to well and truly fail this year.

Not much talk about Cole anymore, I thought he actually seemed to be playing and moving quite well.
Phillips is annoying. Wanted to get him traded in this week but possibly he's the sub, again, why... twice in a row is it likely he comes on again early in the game, sensibly he should be pushed to next week to consider trading him in with Hollands.
Have already done Bruhn to Chandler although that could still be changed. I liked the way that Chandler presented overall, but, is he a round one bolter trap with questionable job security...rookies should really not be traded in until they put up a good score in round 2 and get selected for round 3.
Seems like some of these guys in the 500s who really showed up in round 1 could be team savers this year if they look good again and may need to be traded in before they rise in price and lose their value. Can see half a dozen 500k 'ers who are on the watchlist for next week. If Neale scores 95 again and de Goey scores 130 well, just saying.
Can't push everything to round 3 or potentially there wont be enough trades!!

Think your defence looks fine, man. You mightn't be used to running that thin back there but when you look at your whole squad, prior to chanages, you're only running 4 rookie priced players on field and one of those is the mature aged Constable. I agree that Jones > McKenna is a good move as I don't rate Jones at all but that can be done regardless of your Laird trade. The rookies you wind up with there are rookies everyone seems to agree you should run with.
Now... I'm going out on a limb again by boosting for Laird but why not....
Your plan is to boot Laird and the get him back in about 2 weeks. How?
Are you going to keep that 445k just sitting there being unproductive for 2 whole weeks at this time of the year when every dollar you get earnign points means huge movements in your ranking? I'd say that no, you would want to put that money to use. Leaving nearly a half mil unproductive there for 2 rounds to save 50 or 60k isn't good use of your precious early season funds.
Ok so you put the 445k to work. How are you going to get Laird in again?
Furthermore..... If Laird performs pretty crappy for the next 2 weeks and drops his price, are you going to be up for buying back into him or will you chicken out,, thinking that he doesn't really seem to have it this year and that maybe last year was a career year and yada yada.
But if he scores well enough for you to want him back in your squad, then wouldn't it be better if he stayed in M1 making you points while you post things like "Thanks for repaying the faith Rory" and "All is forgiven" and all that stuff.
Finally, trading twice for 50k or so of benefit is really wasteful, even by today's standards.
For future reference, this is one of the big problems you get with the big money players. When they misfire, they can really test us.
Anyway... I get that you want JHF. I've brought him in too. Not sure that trading out Laird and holding all that cash as unproductive is a good call at all but.

A great thought,even better when you look at the byes ,both are r 15 Next week ,possibly regardless of how Laird performs , I am fading him for Jh-f and Ziebell along with my worst rook. Laird also has that Round 14 bye. The winner a few years back faded a very expensive God to get 2 similar players to JHF with success .It will end up costing 2 trades to get him back but hey it will be easily worth it ...I hope
Lots of people trading Bytel. Could not find much about his "cut" until I found this below on Honeyball. Looks like he got the cut in the first quarter? If so he played out the rest of the game and kept Serong quiet. Run with/tag roles on mids can be quiet lucrative in SC terms for players trying to get more experience. The role tends to take them where the ball is. I am holding him at this stage.
Thanks NDD.
I think that Wilmot and Cowan will also be slow burns and that is more than enough.
The issue with MPM teams is that after they start well, they generally tend to fall behind due to insufficient cash generation. I don't think I can afford 4 slow burns on the bench on top of my R3 donut and want as many rookies making the cash as fast as possible. Since I don't see anyone really viable down back to replace Wilmot and Cowan, it has to be Greene and Chesser in the gun.
I wrote in another thread that I think Hollands fitness and outside game mean that he should get plenty of games to start with and maybe make it to the low-mid 300ks. He should get that significantly faster than Greene/Chesser make it to 270-300k IMV.
Edit: Greene also has Syd, Nth, Gee, GWS, Ade, WBD, Fre and Melb over the next 8 weeks. Yeah there may be a spike game or two in there for the tallish forward but its just as likely that it's surrounded by more of the 30s that he posted last week.
Alright I admit it. It's also because I'm a bit of a trade junkie right now. But at least I admit that I have a problem, right?
