Strategy 2024: Round 15 Trades

[GrainFedBeef]

Powell and Graham for Zorko and Worner/Schoenmaker

Should have around 25k if Powell stays the same price

Powell is gone as soon as SC opens

I would agree, but I've also been wanting to boot jack macrae the whole last month. Maybe I can clear them both!

OUT: Powell, Clohesy, Sullivan

IN: Merrett, Zorko, Rookie

what has hurt Powell so much? CBA's fallen away, mediocre last week although solid relative to cba's, this week just awful.

Deployed as a tagger on Daicos today with Phillips taking turns on daicos also - he wasn’t hunting the ball at all.

Unsustainable disposal efficiency given the high volume in the early rounds and scoreboard impact in RD2 inflated his score. Not sure if the CBA really matters for him given the lack of contribution in other categories and around the ground since it only represents a small portion of the game and is reliant on too many inferences about what occurs in the meantime.

Lower pass mark for owners given the entry price and those 85-95 scores have likely meant other positions or rookies have been given greater priority as trade outs.

Moyle and Sullivan to Flanders and rookie. Switch Dawson back and Fisher forward with Fyfe moving to the bench as coverage. Remaining four trades to ideally be used for injuries only. The trade itch may not be scratched until other formats start up, so may be time to start research for the upcoming NFL season.

Ta-da! Now to wait for the injuries to pile up to force me to open the No Trades Left Club.

thoughts on curnow this week?

 

[bomberboy]

Need some advice - have 17 before trades this week, by my count. Here's how my team looks heading into the rest of the season.

To me, Frejiah and Sullivan to a rookie and Zorko makes sense - but I'm sure I'm missing a trick...

 

[Bomber18]

Just doing Sullivan to Rozee (M9).

Finished side will be:

Daicos, Sheezel, Young, L, Ryan, Sinclair, Ridley (Dawson D/F, El-Hawli D/M)

Bont, Steele, Serong, Butters, Walsh, Zerrett, Dawson, Green (Rozee, Dowling, Reville)

Gawn, English (Livingstone)

Flanders, Heeney, Jackson, Zorko, Fisher, Powell (Fyfe, Hall M/F)

 

[sethlad]

Small forward Riley Garcia responded to his omission from the top-tier side with a damaging 31 touches, eight tackles and nine clearances to be among the Bulldogs' better players

 

[whiteTiga2k]

3 trades this week to complete the side with the plan to trade for a m/d rookie to get Salem into the backline (5 left)
Freijah to Wormer
Meek to Grundy
Comben to Whitfield

TEAM
Ryan, Naicos, Sheezel, Whitfield, Dale, Salem (Wormer, Pink)
Bont, Serong, Merrett, Dawson, Miller, Steele, Oliver, Walsh (Clark, Reville, El-Hewli)
Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)
Flanders, Heeney, Zorko, Jackson, Fisher, Moore (Dawson, Dowling)

Fielding 21 this week

 

[bandit]

Team:
Ryan, Daicos, Sheezel, Sinclair, Dale, NWM (Dawson/Reid)
Bont, Butters, LDU, Gulden, Dawson, Walsh, Green, Sullivan (Freijah/Dowling/Mannagh)
Gawn, English (Livingstone)
Flanders, Heeney, Zorko, Fisher, Jackson, Sexton (Richards, Jones)
7 trades. $10.3K ITB. 14 playing this week.

Option 1:
Sullivan -> Rowell (or any other mid sub his price).
Freijah -> Carrol
J Richards -> Hutchinson

$0 ITB and 4 trades left. Team would be completed with query over Sexton at F6. Also have no real remaining cash gen opportunities with the exception of Dowling on the bench.

Option 2:
Sullivan -> Rozee
Freijah -> Worner (via Daicos switching into Mids)

5 trades and 5.3k ITB remaining for injury cover.

 

[BigRuss]

Macrae & Steele to Merrett & Jackson for me. Leaves 6 trades and Freijah & Sullivan left to butcher in a couple weeks for Rankine or next week on Daniher/Curnow type

Leaves the team as

Ryan, Daicos, Sheezel, Houston, Young, Martin (Schoenmaker, Dawson)

Bont, Butters, Merrett, Serong, Walsh, Miller, Oliver, Green (Clark, D/M rookie, F/M rookie)

Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)

Heeney, Flanders, Zorko, Jackson, Rankine/Daniher, Fisher (Sexton, Dowling)

4 trades left for the run home and Sexton cover hopefully enough to ride it out for a 3 digit finish.

Geez I wasted some traded this year.

 

[froffershanners]

thoughts on curnow this week?

Thinking about bringing him in.

Carlton has a pretty good run home and the best run home for key forwards according to DFS.

The conundrum for me is save a trade and get Curnow in this week or use an extra trade to get Rankine next week.

Would have 5 for the run home if I go for Curnow and 4 if I go for Rankine.

Curnow’s biggest goal tally this year is 4 which he has done 4 times.

Thinking he is due a bag or two. Had 6 times in 2023 when he kicked 5 or more and 5 times in 2022.

 

[Miller is a Steele]

thoughts on curnow this week?

Crunched the numbers during the week. He played 14 games in 2023 against the opponents he has to come in 2024. In those 14 games, he averaged 109.1.

 

[FlatTrackBully]

3 trades this week to complete the side with the plan to trade for a m/d rookie to get Salem into the backline (5 left)
Freijah to Wormer
Meek to Grundy
Comben to Whitfield

TEAM
Ryan, Naicos, Sheezel, Whitfield, Dale, Salem (Wormer, Pink)
Bont, Serong, Merrett, Dawson, Miller, Steele, Oliver, Walsh (Clark, Reville, El-Hewli)
Gawn, Grundy (Livingstone)
Flanders, Heeney, Zorko, Jackson, Fisher, Moore (Dawson, Dowling)

Fielding 21 this week

I'm very, very confident Whitfield cops the Jordon tag this week, definitely don't see it as something worth trading into. Scored 54 with 0 marks last time against Sydney. Nearly everything has to go right with him as well, had 9 tackles today (career best) and took 12 kick ins. Feel like this is pretty unsustainable.

I've owned him for pretty much the whole season, fair to say I've done my fair share of research 🤣

 

[Blue Bloods]

No trades this week, what am I going to think about all week now.

20 players this round.

Boak to Rankine next week, will leave 7 trades for injury and luxury trades.

 

[jobeywatto]

Reville > Rookie
Freijah > Merrett
Powell > Zorko

6 trades left, team "completed" although still full of spuds.

 

[Raaraab]

Only one trade at the moment Comben > Flanders.
Now only one more Fwd premium short of full 22 but I find that laughable considering how many are underachieving at the moment. Will field 18 premos this week.
After this one I’ll have 10 trades and 1 boost left but no fat rookies to harvest. Might have to consider some sideways trades of Green, Fyfe etc.

 

[FlatTrackBully]

At this stage,
Sullivan -> Curnow
Freijah -> Loophole

Fielding 20 with 18 premiums + Sexton so hopefully in for another good week. Unsure whether to trade Hore either to Schoenmaker or another rookie and swing Gray up to defence. Offers more flexibility where I can cover all lines with a Dowling for example but Schoenmaker could be good cover for the season if he keeps playing.

Next round, no issues with cash so these are locked in.
Sexton -> Rankine
Reville -> Dowling

Leaves 3 trades for injuries, less than ideal but that's what happens when you flip too many guys throughout the year. Hopefully can get Rozee at some stage to loop with Green at M8.

 

[Under The Dome]

Time to go all in on the spud farm

Moyle > Rozee
Powell > Yeo
Freijah > El-Hawli

Clark > Curnow could be done in one if they hit projections or Jackson/Rankine in two.

 

[JMAC]

Just doing Sullivan to Rozee (M9).

Finished side will be:

Daicos, Sheezel, Young, L, Ryan, Sinclair, Ridley (Dawson D/F, El-Hawli D/M)

Bont, Steele, Serong, Butters, Walsh, Zerrett, Dawson, Green (Rozee, Dowling, Reville)

Gawn, English (Livingstone)

Flanders, Heeney, Jackson, Zorko, Fisher, Powell (Fyfe, Hall M/F)

Superb team. How many trades left?
