Strategy 2022: Round 6 Trades
- Thread starter Tamuhawk
- Start date
JHF - Petracca
Rowell - Preuss
Durdin - Rosas.
Leaves me with 27 trades, 146k in the bank and a team of:
Def: Short, Crisp, Hewett, Whitfield, NOD, McCartin (Gibcus, SDK)
Mids: Steele, Miller, Neale, Petracca, Cripps, Cogs, ND, Martin (Dow, Rachele, Ward)
Ruck: Grundy, Preuss (J. Hayes)
Fwd: Heeney, Butters, Dunkley, Brodie, Xerri, Jackson (Dixon, Rosas)
Struggling... if anyone thinks there are alternative trades available then I'm all ears. Melbourne are going to torch some sides over the next few weeks.

Really depends on who you're replacing Hinge and McCartin with IMO. Traded Hinge > Noddy last week to help facillitate Bowey >Doc. Next week Paddy goes, via Hobbs being replaced by Daicos which helps me get Clarry in. I know that they both have a bit more cash to make but getting in 2 reasonable secure rookies in on the bubble helps kickstart my cash gen. Just my 2 cents.

I don't think it's a given he will even make more than his current R3 alternative in S. Hayes.
Hayes at high 70's will make around the same as Preuss at 95. Hayes allows me to make 3 upgrades with 6 trades over the next 2 rounds - Preuss does not (or reduces the quality). Hayes is the standout number 1 ruck in his team, Preuss has more competition. Preuss could fall apart at any time. Yes, there is the going early factor if getting Hayes this week, so it depends a bit on your upgrade/downgrade cycle. I personally am happy to go early on him because of what it allows me to do.
Different story as R2 as you want the extra points that Preuss probably brings.

What role is Bazlenka playing at the dogs this season?
Is a typical Dogs midfield role where he plays everywhere bar the midfield?

Getting plenty of mid time. His TOG% the last three weeks has been crazy high (97%, 95%, 94%).
Think he comes into my team this week which then allows me to get Petracca next week.

This would normally be my line of thinking however Sam Hayes seemingly has good JS with Lycett out for the foreseeable future. He also has to do less to keep making cash.
The big thing for me though is what I can do with the $80K spared. That’s money I can use on the field to fund upgrades.
Most other years when a R3 like Preuss has come along (Gawn, Stefan Martin, ROB from seasons past), there wasn’t been a viable cheaper alternative (most would have had their loop at R3) so it was a more obvious choice.
I’m taking Hayes and hoping he can average around 65 as a minimum at R3, knowing that the 80K difference can be used on the field immediately as we hit upgrade season. I mean it’s the same story for Preuss but on a later timeline. It’s just that I am valuing upgrades now more than down the track. Whatever Hayes hopefully makes, I can unlock later when I probably look to bring in a loophole donut.

Let me preface this by giving my ranking 48,487. I was having the same problem in deciding who to lose for Rosas and for me it came down to BE's and which rookie gets fielded so I went with Ward (BE 26) > Rosas. I understand why you've gone with Durdin as you don't want to field a small Fwd at F6 but Durdin's BE is -4 and will make money with the possibilty of a handy spike score.
I'd lose McCartin, swing Daicos back, (I know that you'll lose the DPP swing) Brodie to the mids, Rosas to the bench and swap Dixon for Hayes and have him at F6.

What are Ridley owners doing?
Slowly bleeding points and cash and to trade him now would allow a midfield upgrade, but there are no obvious weak points in my team and I can just upgrade around him.
Team seems to look stronger with him in there but of course that's contingent on him breaking out of this funk.
Ownership sits at 17% (down from 22.6% at Rd 1) so do people think he can turn it around, or are they just sticking to the mantra of "don't trade uninjured premiums"?
