Strategy Round 2: Trades

[NT.Thunder]

You've got Dangerfield and Gawn in both and five players in the first???

I'd take Doedee and Viney before I reckon they'll score better.

Yeah I ballsed it up

Viney, Doedee vs Howe, Long

 

[quite ironic]

Is Howe a must? Already have Crisp so not super keen on Crisp, Howe and Noble..

 

[Ironhawk]

I was $1300 short of my preferred trades, had to compromise. Bit disappointing.

Only one I need to lock in for tonight is T Lynch -> D Cameron, so done that. Want to see final Sunday teams before locking in the other four.

Well done to everyone holding Lynch, just confirmed he'll have a great game.

 

[Bomber18]

I couldn't get my Gawn side to work anymore with Fort and Roberton out so have had to settle on Pittonet for now. Gawn will be my first trade in though, so hopefully not too far away....

 

[BigRuss]

Is Howe a must? Already have Crisp so not super keen on Crisp, Howe and Noble..

I'm debating Laird to Howe right now. That's how good I think intercept defenders will be scored this season.

 

[Juzzo]

Yeah I ballsed it up

Viney, Doedee vs Howe, Long

I'd take the Chinaman, just.

I wouldn't go that far.

Intercept markers are always a bit of a rollercoaster because some weeks the ball just doesn't go near them or they get a defensive hold out of it. Possessions are a lot "stickier". You might be reading too much into one week.

 

[NT.Thunder]

I'd take the Chinaman, just.

Who's the chinaman?

 

[Juzzo]

Who's the chinaman?

Howe Long's a chinaman?

 

[AngryAnt]

Well I've been truly shat on by Chris Scott so need to trade Fort and without restructuring my entire side, the options are Ben Long (looked absolutely great as a half back flanker in the pre-season and in round one but is around $25k more than Fort) and had an insane DT:SC ratio in round one, Bewely who played as a wingman in round one, got 20 disposals, mostly kicks, a fair few marks and scored 95 or Townsend from Essendon who I'm not as keen on as his Round One score was boosted by kicking three goals from nine disposals but is the cheapest of the lot. Any ideas as to which of the three is the most worthwhile trade in. Long, Bewley and Tonwsend are my preferences but it's not a particularly thrilling trade to have to make.

Any obvious cheapies i've forgotten about? Doedee and playing Brander as a fwd rookie is another option.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Howe Long's a chinaman?

That's the way I'm leaning. Just read a stat that it's the highest kick to handball ration since 2006 so hopefully that means teams are moving the ball into the F50 under a lot more pressure.

 

[zeus123]

Howe Long's a chinaman?

Howe Long is actually a chinese name too

 

[BomberSam]

Pies fans, real quick, is Darcy Cameron likely to string a few games together?

 

[Juzzo]

Howe Long is actually a chinese name too

Yep, that's the joke.

 

[dlanod]

Yep, that's the joke.

"Joke" is being generous.

 

[Pieman17]

Is Howe a must? Already have Crisp so not super keen on Crisp, Howe and Noble..

Not in my opinion. He’s a very volatile player and scorer, will have huge games like that where he can do what he wants but will also have games where he scores 40. Will be around the 95 average for the year (about 91 from here on)

Bewley is my preference out of those 3 forwards.

 

[Pieman17]

Who are the 2 best rookies to go early on ?

Can be any position. Thinking Harley and Rivers but not sure.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Okay done, not sure where I'll be tomorrow so had to pull the trigger now and hope for the best.

 

[Rickwood]

$100 short of my of bringing in Ceglar, so moved Noble on for Cameron (E) forwards and Ceglar Ruck

Heaven help me, but hey, 5 trades this week, yet none last week......
