Strategy Round 5: Trades

Maybe, but he's a battle hardened warrior with a big heart who rarely misses games. If you believe in the existence of statistical anomalies, he could be an example this year. Plus he's relatively under-owned which may not be a bad thing right now.
Admittedly Westcoast will be his first real test so far this season. BE mid 60s
Oddly enough right now he's the only fwd I feel any confidence in, but Coach Hinkley could always throw a curved ball at anytime.
PS: fwiw, I don't reckon it's essential to turf Dunkley just yet.

I agree that it’s all about cash generation, although it is always a relative game. If we get a second wave in round 10 (which is my understanding) I think we can use an early cull or two there to do final upgrades just coming out of the byes to make sure we get a Macrae type rather than maybe a M Crouch type as our final upgrade. I’d love to be fully upgraded before then but my experience is that that is quite rare, and I can’t recall doing it/seeing it done without what I would regard as slightly compromised keeper picks. Do you think this can consistently be achieved?
ROB now looks like an absolute lock to me, especially for those who can trade a dud forward rookie to him ... my comment about his cash being less important in that scenario was largely just trying to balance up the argument

It's a good question. I don't think that any of the mid rookies are near ripe enough for a downgrade and unless you can manipulate a correction trade for a spud like Balta via DPP, I'm not sure if it's worth it.
I'm personally going to pass on Stack and grab O'Brien via Bines. With Jacobs out now, O'Brien should make a fair amount of cash in a shortish period of time if he keeps on going at 80 ppg.

Really want to make 3 Trades this week (actually looking at my team maybe 30 would be better)
now thinking about Mumford again
English - > Mumford (R2)
Parker/Setterfield/Balta - > ROB (R3) (via Bines) don't like the idea of Balta and Bines at F7 & F8 though, think Parker & Setterfield still could make some $$$

If it were two or three weeks to the future Stack would be a decent downgrade for a Atkins or Scott to park on the bench but I think right now it's too early. There are a few mid rookies to come in potentially in the next few rounds anyway, Hind, Hately, Hayes for the dogs potentially in a couple of weeks, rookies will be there.
O'Brien will hit $300k by round 8 if he goes at 80ppg, I don't think any other rookie on the bubble presents this quick cash generation opportunity, or potentially a fair bit more than that up to his bye.

I can definitely see the appeal and close to grabbing himself but if teams permit, think I’ll just get Rocky and be done with it. Otherwise I’ll be jumping on Marshall myself, albeit a little reluctantly.
He just feels like he’s going to be a meh pick in the long run but as a forward, I think he’s a gamble we can take.

I agree that it's not realistic to finish your side before byes and probably even detrimental as bye round upgrades are a crucial part of the bye trading strategy. I think the second wave or final downgrade rookies might be of a decent quality this year with the new supplemental rookie rules, so not as concerned about downgrade options. Being able to find the cash now to be able to move rookies off the field asap is important though, especially as it seems like we have more slow burns than fast burners this season. ROB helps that goal!
