Yeah, basically you start a player with a later by round, in this case Short (R13 bye, as scheduled anyway) and in round 13 trade him to a player with a round 12 bye (in this case Whitfield). This effectively means you get one extra premo score at the expense of a rookie score (if you could field a full team) or a donut if your were <18 players from that round. Not generally worth a trade (circa 150+pts) in-and-of-itself, but when combined with an upgrade in expected scoring it can be worthwhile.
Generally what happens is you look back at about round 20 and think, what a dumb move that was as you post to the NTLC thread.
Cheers
PS: But I won't have to worry about that...my first post is going to be about trading Cripps to Dusty.

Ratugolea takes the centre bounce and then rolls forward to get a mismatch, Blicavs then goes into the Ruck, been our structure for 3 weeks, Blicavs attended a few centre bounces in the second half as a mid on the weekend to provide a big body with Guthrie and Duncan out but thats not going to happen in usual circumstances.

Doesn anyone have any thoughts or opinions on Madden's job security? I like him as a trade in as i have Briggs as a def/fwd in my defence, having him in my fwd line would be handy for me, can swing his to defence where it's been a total disaster for me.
Appreciate any info/feedback, cheers and good luck to all.

I think it depends on your cover in your forward line. He'll likely get more games between now and the end of the year but don't expect him to be playing every game from here on out. His inclusion will depend on availability of other defenders and who the Lions are matching up against from week to week defensively. The fact you have that switch though does make the trade in more attractive.
Not even a little bit. To be fair the main reason for me is Smith has a horrendous bye and Cerra has by far the best bye for my team but also because I'm not sold his role changes, he's played wing all year and he's played it well. Lipinski is perfectly capable of slotting into the midfield role and Libba already ate the extra Dunkley minutes up.
Just not expecting Smith's role to change and, so far, that role isn't close to fantasy relevant and I think Cerra is a fair bit ahead of him right now as a SC prospect considering role and skillsets.
Rat takes the CBA and then pushes forward, Blitz starts on the wing and then is the ruck around the ground. His role is very good and I think you've got a great POD target with him.
The Stanley factor is certainly something to consider but I think they've found a better balance with Rat forward than not really having anywhere for Blitz and forcing Stanley in. Basically if the forward line keeps working as well as it has with this setup it's going to be hard for Stanley to get in.
Can balance byes a bit better though with that technique. So I can target any week bye this week, basically the one that fits best (for me that's r14 by a mile) and then you can use the r12 guys as fixers through the byes. They're the "unavoidable bye" so any in your team you're copping no matter what and can't be flexible about it. The rest you can always slingshot out of if something goes wrong.
So for me this week is about trying to get 18 on the field next week whilst also trying to maneuvre for the desperate attempt to achieve the same in r13. r14 I'm fine now and could take on another 4 from if I have to so obviously I'll load that one up this week and next if I have to. Actually kind of annoyed the Suns game is back on as Touk was a perfect target for me
