Strategy 2023: Round 6 Trades
- Thread starter quite ironic
- Start date
Have gone Long to M Johnson. Contemplating Tom Green or Mason Wood up to Touk. If Johnson can put a decent score tonight (75+ then i will probs keep Green and upgrade Wood. Either way, welcome Mr Miller into my team. 
Also thinking about Sicily to Ziebell. Handy for the link with Sheezel, and would likely keep both, hopefully as bench coverage after the byes. Then I could upgrade a Mckenna type to Day next week.
Then that only leaves me to get in Naicos, Laird, Bont, Dunkley, Gawn and a few lesser lights and I'm done.

I am not arguing Green vs Miller over the season though? Everyone should get Miller into their team over the next few weeks (I personally just wouldn't sacrifice Green to do it).
I am disagreeing with the notion that Green isn't a keeper. He is still good enough for M8 (and could even improve to as high as M6 behind Oliver, Miller, Laird, Bont & Neale in my eyes) as there just aren't enough premium mids blowing him out of the water right now.

Been toying with a few different iterations and it’s effectively:
Mackenzie > Roberts
Baker > M.Johnson
Boost: Ginbey/Wilmot > Lloyd
I’m happy with the first two trades, but I’m really torn between the last two trade out options. Ginbey on one hand has a high BE but higher potential for scores, but Wilmot has a lower BE and I have a feeling he might get a spike score despite his low TOG.
I hate asking, but does anyone have a compelling argument for either to remain in my team?

Yeah I'm going for Serong over any ube-premos. He's playing some great footy and is a really nice price. It was out of him and Laird or Touk and my M1 is Bont so I'm not too confident.
However:
Serong has a case for being a top 8 mid by the end of the year so I'm committing no sin to bring him in. Further, those extra 50-60k allow me next week maybe to go 1 down 2 up to Day and Cogs, leaving just McKenna and Phillips on field along with the 6 MPs of Setters, JHF, Hopper, ZB, Sheezel and Pickett.
So maybe take a look at what you can do with your spare change over the next couple of weeks if yu go with Serong instead of an uber-premo. He mightn't get you the 180s that a Touk or a Neale might but he has hit 100 4/5 times, including 2 * 145s. He's no mug. And if it allows you to bench a rookie for a better premo, that could easily make up the points you might be missing by not taking the uber-premo yet.

Yeah I know you’re not arguing over those two…all good.
Green could very well be a keeper M8 type ( at least that’s what I was hoping for when selecting him round 1) and we were all pretty stoked when he scored 134 against the crows first up.
You are spot on about how close that next tier of mids are….only takes a small lift to be in that bracket ( hence my point about the 10 point gap per game between Miller who I think will be top 5)

I'm just trying to get a read on Johnson really before moving McKenzie on. Roberts I feel there's too many best 22 Swans out, regardless of talls v smalls I think his JS is a little iffy still.
McKenzie will need to put in another good game I think, Will day comes straight back in so he could be pushed to the sub or get a rest.
Have an hour to make a call I guess, hard not to overthink it.
