Strategy 2023: Round 6 Trades
- Thread starter quite ironic
- Start date
Am holding both MacKenzie and Baker for now. The 14 stuffed MacKenzie cash gen but he has two solid scores and hopefully can produce another one and get it going again.
This week looking at Cowan to Williams via Sheez and then Hollands to Roberts. Clearly hoping both are named. Trading Hollands works better for me as next week it could be Chesser out for Seamus Mitchell. With Mitchell already a D/F and Williams listed as a Fwd but playing Def it could be possible to have both of them and Ziebell/Sheez as D/F post Rd 11. Think that could be handy during byes or if new rookies are sparse later in the season.
But who knows what the fickle finger of footy will spin up this week.

Not sure I understand the love for Roberts.. BE is only -22 and I’d be slots back into that sub role he will make coins at best. Was clearly not best 22 given how the first few rounds unfolded.. and those low scores are a serious anchor around his neck.
Seems like a trap rookie that gets caught in a no mans land price with limited scoring upside.

BE is only -22 because of the two sub scores previous. A 50+ this week will see him with a much lower BE.
If he's out of the 22 this week, easy to avoid, but otherwise just hoping 2, maybe 3 games in a row without the sub vest and he'll make some nice coin.
It's been confirmed that Rampe/T McCartin will miss this week.
T McCartin should be back in Round 7 (concussion protocol) so yes there is the chance that Roberts is dropped then.

The first wave of rookies are starting to max out so I'll start on the next batch and continue building a war chest
Ginbey, Cowan and Baker all look to have slowed too far or stalled. Roberts, Johnson and Williams look decent enough to roll the dice on.
Boosts my bank to 669k which is a bit eye-popping. The temptation is to go for Touk or Neale instead of the 3rd rookie but I'm really concerned as to where the next phase of cash gen is coming from.
Each week that I don't have that cash spent costs me 40 points from being a premium down on field but if the rookies work, the payback in 5 weeks will be that I can afford to finish with better premos, making those points back and then some over the final 13 weeks.
Next week I'll probably grab Smitch from Chandler, if only for the link and might even take Wagner for Pou. That would leave me with 980k to spend, starting with Day, probably from Ashcroft, leaving 880k.
I'll then target the likes of Cogs, Sinclair, Sicily, Sprayshaw and a couple of uber mids. I've got 4 non-Ziebel MPs to help with that though will likely need a couple more downgrades to pull it all off. Might even trade back Into Macrae, Doc and Chesser(!!!) who ought to go better after his rest (hint hint Tom Green owners)
