Discussion 2021 Round 2: Teams & In Game Discussion

[Vicwood]

I know Danger to Titch is the obvious trade.

But I like the Mills Roll last week and I think he is worth the early punt over Lloyd.? With Mills in DEF this will give me Laird Ridley Daniel Houston Mills in DEF line.

If I go Danger to Boak this week, I can offload Cripps to Mills via sharp.?

Boak age is a concern, but in his favor doesn’t miss many games. Boak is also from a team that will be Winning more games with helps with PTS.

Any major faults with this option.?

It's Mills v Titch for me. I'm not sold on Boak. He's had a blinder in Rd 1 but I doubt he maintains his average this year. Getting him now just feels like chasing points. I like the Mills move because there is upside there so you are improving your side. For me, my only concern with the Mills move is it leaves my side even more lopsided between DEF and FWD.

Boak won't play North every week. Mills is a good pick but I agree Titch is the obvious one.

 

[freowho]

For this specific scenario I'd assume given Dusty has DPP It would just put him in the mids, if he did not have DPP then i'd say the answer is up in the air.

Hadn't thought of that. Even more complex. Has anyone actually asked Virtual Sports?
They can't close the loophole during the year as it effectively changes the game after it's started.

I now need someone to be dropped as danger is my donut to get Grundy's score as captain. Or I just keep danger now. But then I cant trade Cripps for anyone. Its too early in the season for this.

Good news that Bergman is keeping his spot.

I love that Hinkley always announces team news early.

[Johnsy44]

You wouldn’t be tempted to use the Dow -> Jordon cash to turn Cripps into a $600+ type premium MID?

Agree re. Heppell. Going to be a close watch. With McNeil a likely trade to Jordon for me (unless Bergman or Fullarton spud up) I won’t have enough money to also get Cripps to a Martin/Walsh. So would either have to hold or find someone in the similar price range, Taranto or down to Heppell and pocket the change.

It is certainly something that I will consider, however, I have Flyntereek in the ruck, so think I may need an emergency fund for that as I am not comfortable with both Hunter and Meek, will potentially use the Dow money to go Hunter/Meek into Stef Martin if he performs again. All depends on how the rest of my team goes, all I know is I will have bigger problems than Cripps and am willing to back him to turn it around.

I definitely think Heppell is a viable option, look to have a good scoring role last week and scored well. Tim Kelly is one I am certainly keeping a keen eye on, looked in fantastic shape last weekend

Have just seen the Heppell news... maybe might not be viable

I had the same issue, only with Rowell. I have traded him to McGrath as I figure the points made by having him and Macrae C, exceed the points from Grundy VC & AScott at M8.

Also that Hinkley publicly backs his young players in. If you are a 2nd gamer that would give you so much confidence.

Reality is however that only because of Bonner's injury does he stay in the side.

 

[Herbie66]

Is the trade loophole in reference to a spot on the ground? Once a player gets locked they not only can't be traded but can't be moved, I think. Lets say you clicked the button to trade Danger and then moved Campbell forward and traded in Titch. But changed your mind after Sydney play to swap Titch to Dusty. Does Campbell getting locked, lock that trade because of his position on the ground? 🤪

Danger & Campbell are both F/M surely you just swap them before doing the trade.

People seem to want to overcomplicate something that is very simple to use.

If people don't believe it works , best suggestion is they actually try and do it for themselves and actually see what happens 😀

Be interesting to see if Rockliff is in the 22 this week.

Rozee probably returns Round 3 , haven't heard a update on SPP for awhile.

 

[Grundogging]

2020, Round 2 ...

"Andrew Brayshaw is cooked! Trading him out tomorrow!" ...

Damn you and your crystal balling, I was gonna trade Brayshaw in tomorrow!!!

 

[Nathan]

This was my first thought, but he has Heeney captain and Walsh was vice, so he's done this by his own volition.

where they his 2 highest scoring players?

 

[Grundogging]

Its not over yet, Max goes 130+ today and Flynn is a late out, then it will be over

This rubbish talk around Flynn needs to stop right now!!!

I think this is really important, they need a couple of games and like you say is so important for their confidence.
I mean, Relton Roberts could've been an absolute star and we'll never know now......

 

[BomberSam]

Let's all just stop living on the edge, keep our grubby fingers away from the trade button and just relax

 

[Deeman1]

You had your fun in Round 1, its others time now , Grundy answered the call now Gawn and Flynn need to do their bit

Nah, it would of Made Flynn and Gulden his C and VC if he used the optimise button.
