Strategy 2023: Round 9 Trades

[Russty_]

Hang on, what's wrong with Marshall?

Also, thoughts on Drury? If we think he's a viable "go early" it opens up Setterfield/O. Baker/Chandler to Brayshaw/B. Smith/Drury for me.

Will probably hold Ridley and cover by not trading out McKenna. Think h'll score better with Reid to come into the side.

Marshall hurt his ankle but might be ok for next week, Drury looked real good early up until the second half and then only scored 10 points in the second half, was 41 before that. Looks like he has a cool head and uses the ball pretty well though and doesn't panic on the big stage.

Bringing in Gawn... The Teakle gamble failed miserably and he is moving to the bench

Also looking to upgrade a midfielder.
Ashcroft to Dawson or Davey to Blicavs.

Dawson.. Gee he just keeps on smashing out big scores. But 650 is so much though and ashcroft... Even with the low score is still pretty consistent. Dawson's Be is pretty low for him so it doesn't look like he is dropping any more.

Blicavs seems like a 100 average type mid. But should i be going for someone like that or going for one of the big boys?

Thoughts on Dawson?

 

[frosty1]

Reid apparently hurt his hammy in the VFL, not sure we'll see him for a while.

Thanks (couldn't "like" that news)

 

[whiteTiga2k]

Hmmm now considering Will Powell. He has a great bye... And at 527 is still value. Keeps Will Day in the midfield.. What Will I do...

 

[Montyjnr]

I've been looking at the byes, and my defence is looking awful in r14. Dawson, Daicos, Sicily, Day out on the bye. Young and Cowan not playing currently. Mckenna (likely upgrade to doch or stewart this week) and Cincotta the only 2 playing of the 8. I have Sheezel and (hopefully) Constable to try to swing back there, but I'd have to get Sheezel and 2/3 of those rookies (or whoever I trade them to) playing to have the full defence for that week.
This conundrum forcing me to consider the rather unappealing sideways move of Day>Powell to resolve it. Worth it?

Why are you worrying about this now?

You should wait until Powell has his bye first and then slingshot Day to him after Round 13.

 

[randomcliche]

Right on! Slingshot during the byes, not before!

 

[Shaunpro1]

Wilmot-Weddle
Ashcroft-Clarry
Blood Pressure-Down 10

 

[tso]

Wilmot / Baker OUT
Weddle / Atkins IN
219k spare
4 Rooks on field.

 

[Shaunpro1]

Issue with Atkins is I think hell be in the VFL by the time the byes roll around, gets a run with a couple injuries but has consistently not been in their best 22 plans, also butchered the **** out of it on the weekend.

 

[tso]

Wilmot / Baker OUT
Weddle / Atkins IN
219k spare
4 Rooks on field.

Plan B

OUT Wilmot Baker Chandler
IN Weddle Anderson Knevitt
3 Rooks on field
Decent bye set up

 

[BarginHunter]

Thoughts on Anderson?
I know he was talked about alot during pre season and Miller out for a while (not sure of specifics) can only help him right?

Is it worth paying up 605k for him or is there better value elsewhere?

Not a bad Bye either, one of the many reasons im looking at him and Stewart

 

[mike89]

Immediate thoughts are:
OUT: Ashcroft, Callaghan, Chandler
IN: Oliver, Drury, <540k (Steele, Brayshaw, Powell)

That third selection is proving pretty tricky. Not a lot of certainty in the mids this year!

 

[T0land's T00ls]

i didnt mind him at 555k to start the year but at 605k you'd hope he goes alright and doesnt fizzle ala tom green last year

Thats my worry, i feel hes at or is near his max price and although i feel he'll do great i also feel he can drop a bit from here

 

[Serj]

Sinclair, doch or Stewart?
Every penny I save gets me closer to a 600+ mid rather than a ~550 mid next week when I finally cash in Callaghan and baker.

 

[BarginHunter]

I swear i must be the only player in the top 2k without Gulden and its starting to hurt

Is he worth grabbing even if his bye isnt the friendliest?

 

[BarginHunter]

Sinclair, doch or Stewart?

Id say if ur wanting to save $$, id either wait on Stewart or id grab Doch

Sinclair for me is the middle ground between both

Plan B

OUT Wilmot Baker Chandler
IN Weddle Anderson Knevitt
3 Rooks on field
Decent bye set up

Haven't seen much talk on this chap, good JS or just warming the pitch for another injured player?
At $164k, looks like the last week to jump on

 

[Uncle Drew]

What's got everyone so keen on Drury? Is it just because there are no other options?

Pretty much, most people keep going early and he is also a 102k. Only really downgrade on bubble this week is Weddle
