Strategy Round 11: Trades

[Wheedus]

With bergman at risk of being the sub again, should I reverse my Scott > madden to go bergman > madden instead?

If you are risk averse, yes

Yep, Bergman bye next week as well.

 

[XabiFernando]

If you are risk averse, yes

It seems low reward to hold, achievable breakeven but unsure if he cracks into the team in the next couple weeks. As zimmer said, bye next week as well.

Thanks both!

Settled on Walsh in

Tried every random left and right field option.

Sam it is

Slight change:
Out: J Jordon and A Scott
In: A Cerra and I Heeney


Considered Steele and Madden as an alternative but prefer to grab Heeney now rather than next week given my trades and cash gen situation this season. Steele will replace RCD post byes and unfortunately I cannot use Madden's DPP effectively during the byes and adds too many on the sidelines for RD13 which is why I bypassed.

 

[The Floggers]

Welcome to the team = weightman and fyfe

 

[mike89]

Locked in Bergman for Weightman. Not super happy about it given my R13 situation but the only reasonable alternative is Sproule and who knows whether he plays the byes.

Ben Brown being out is extremely annoying because the main reason I've gone for Weightman in the end is that he has to be on field!

 

[d-buzzz]

Spent my whole week set on trades:
Scott/McNiel > Madden/Merret

Last minute decision to go:
Scott/McNiel > Traecy/Macrae
let’s hope it’s not another last minute trade regret!

 

[BigRuss]

Jordon - Madden so far. Weightman goes through to the keeper.

 

[Grundogging]

Think I'll just stick with the one trade of Scott down to Weightman this week, leaving me with 16 trades and $600+k ITB for the bye rounds.

Was originally planning to grab Gawn either last week or this week, but my concerns around his form and scoring put me off (and unfortunately appear to have been well-founded so far tonight). Thoughts then went to Whitfield as a R12 bye player, but his BE of 107 and a potentially tough matchup against the Lions at the Gabba has me thinking twice as well.

This will mean my lineup is a bit shorter on premos for round 12 and maybe 13 than I'd like, but I'll hopefully have sufficient playing rookies to cover especially if a few bubble boys come through in rounds 13/14 (eg. Reeves, Bianco, CCJ, etc).

 

[Pieman17]

Weightman and Madden were no go’s due to my R13 bye troubles.

Decided on:
Kosi to Petracca
Scott to Heeney

 

[Connoisseur]

A Cerra:
Since Post Bye 2020= 101.21 from 14 (low of 56 and a high of 134, 1/14 below 80, 7/14 below 100, 5/14 120+)

Excludes 15 in RD5 2021 from 10% TOG.

 

[Zim^zuM]

Ended up trading in Lyons to ensure I have no change so I can wait until round 14 to trade next. Keep having change and keep burning trades. Only 11 left no idea how hehe

 

[Darkie]

Melbourne apparently were seeking more from Trac defensively over the last few weeks. I wonder if that’s had a bit of an impact on his scoring.

Yeah, May mentioned it tonight in Post game comments as well. Still got a pretty good role and the way he pushed Helmet put of the way for clean clearance, when helmet was in best position for that clearance was just a thing of beauty!

His scoring isn’t matching the hype right now.

Equal Brownlow favourite apparently!!

Nowhere near as much as his complete and utter disappearing act from about 5 minutes into the 2nd until the 4th quarter tonight...

And I don't think they got what they wanted out of him tonight, his defensive efforts were poor and I'm being nice!

Been disappearing a lot lately in the 2H. Whilst getting the TOG, seems to fade, maybe it is the forward role or just fatigue.

Thinking I will now trade Mills in over Zorko. Toughest league games are the first two, allows me then to trade a Bont/Neale in during round 14.

Mills run over next few weeks looks pretty good. Pricey, however, not going value yet in the team, just want the most likely best players.

Hasn't that always been the knock on Petracca?
Big reason he performed so well last season was the shorter quarters.

 

[meataxe]

Went Steele and Heeney in for Jord0n and Scott.

Considered Cerra instead of Steele, however didn't like his next 2 opponents (PA, Dogs).

Decided to fade Weightman and hope for a poor score v Melb and the byes. Think this might have been an error by me but oh well. Hope Heeney scores heavily over the next few weeks.
