Strategy Round 3: Trades

[Zim^zuM]

Also whats with Dougal Howards start?

This Geelong monday game is really doing my brain in.

Original plan was Jones/Dow to Warner/Impey. But I have Clark/Koschitzke as D5,6

Just tinkering I see I can go Jones to Warner as planned, then Phillips to Ridley pushing Clark into the mids which can then at least have Sharp as a floating donut. And if Clark is cooked I can downgrade him.

That however leaves Dow/Brockman at F5/6. But if Phillips does end up being a poor pick that doesn't matter as much. Also makes me feel better on passing on tex as that move cant happen with him.

I can also do similar but Cripps out instead of Phillips.

I can also do Jones to Warner. Then wait until monday which the two options would be..

Phillips to Impey or Clark to Jiath if Clark is not in. Dont like that though.

Also whats with Dougal Howards start?

He took almost all the kickouts in R2, and opponent Melbourne was incredibly inaccurate (19 behinds).

He will not be getting 19 kickouts every match. But has started well this year.

 

[Connoisseur]

Trades completed
Out: H Oea and M Bergman
In: J Jordon and L McDonald (Syd)

 

[Impromptu]

Trades completed:

1. Sharp to Warner
2. Dow to Impey

When is Round 4 thread open? LOL

I know it sounds crazy and sorry Pies supporters but holding Maynard and Crisp is quite painful when they barely reach 80s and Ridley and Mills looking super elite.

When you hold so-call set-and-forget Maynard/Crisp and you are actually happy they score 80s is a really bad sign...LOL..

Geez I really hate side-trading so-called premiums.

 

[jaca]

Did:

Cripps to Jordon
Clark to Ridley

If he can get to $ 450k in 3 rounds he then becomes a very easy option to a R1/R2 (hopefully we have worked out the best 2 Rucks by then)

He still is only making that $ 150k profit though and "costing" me more to get him , BUT in that 3 rounds how much more does he score over a rookie.

I actually think the aggressive play this round would be to get Ridley & Walker.

The smart (long term) play is to possibly get the best rookies I am missing , but is that too safe and conservative.

Posted about it 😀

Went safe and conservative in the end

 

[BomberSam]

Traded in I Cumming by the way of Cox DPP

Just Cahill to Jordon so far, may do Bruhn to Impey (to take Brockman's place) if I'm still a chance in my main leagues come Sunday afternoon.

Feel like that’s a pretty good remove regardless of league results. Impey should make some good cash.

Having a look at Selwood. Has started the season well. Not sure how long it will last. Someone talk me out of it

I think he stepped up massively with Danger missing. Would not bank on that continuing. Menegola also out that game, along with Duncan, if I’m not mistaken.

Can still turn it on, but won’t do it anywhere near often enough in my view. Sacrifices his game for the side.

 

[Tamuhawk]

Trade plans ended up changing so kept Cripps in the end.

Neale to Tex
Bergman to Millsy

Very happy so far.

Risk of rest. Plays for Geelong. Will get hit in head, concussion risk. #duckwood.

Stop reading. End of Post. No, really, stop.

That said, I picked him up in draft. Fit. Looks uninjured (has been injured in last couple of seasons). Back playing inside mid. Bloody good at football. Plays in one of the stronger sides who should get more than their fair share of pie.

I really like the pick as a value play, give it an assessment when Danger comes back, but the two can coexist in the mid, it's just whether they do with Menegola Duncan et al when all back. (Please don't send Danger forward again!)

Has been a warrior with our outs and reminded a few people how good he really is but don't pick him, will be managed through the year.

Going to trade Cripps to Brayshaw today. I've got one too many banged up mids.

 

[Obie]

Have hovered over the Cripps to Brayshaw trade continuously. Might just back Cripps in for one more. Famous last words because last week he was definitely out the door....

Did that trade, live to regret it probably.

 

[Weedys Crop]

Did Cripps to Ridley
Phillips to Tex

 

[Courtesans]

Well, Cripps to Brayshaw given nothing. Wasted trade.
