Strategy Round 5: Trades

[Bomber18]

As long Viney scores at least 70, I believe I can go Viney/Noble to Bont/Hill.

Which would then give me a team which includes all of: Neale, Fyfe*, Cripps, Grundy, Gawn, Trac and Bont!

*provided that there’s no fwd line carnage for me tomorrow (ie CTaylor or Dusty out...)

Viney survives. Howe to Bont

 

[Ben's Beasts]

OUT: 2 poor blokes with 2 good knees between them

IN: 2 blokes with 4 good knees between them

 

[Grundogging]

OUT: 2 poor blokes with 2 good knees between them

IN: 2 blokes with 4 good knees between them

+1

Might have to sit on one of them (probably Naismith) for a round or two though depending on how other options shape up.

So out of interest, had a quick look at Gaff home vs away, given he and other Eagles will seemingly be playing a prolonged stretch in WA soon.
2016-2019 by year and aggregate, this is what I ended up with if I did it correctly (slight oversimplification - home = playing at WA venue, didn't care about Dockers home vs away):

Interesting will be good viewing when they return.

Original plan was one-up, one-down for Round 5.

After Green's showing tonight that is making me rethink things slightly.
Now need to again weigh up whether to trade out Sturt or Pickett with my second Round 4 trade.
Sturt means I probably can't afford Green as the downgrade, Pickett means I can, but am likely to be stuck with Sturt for 2-3 weeks with Darcy Cameron also on the FWD bench.

The other option will be double downgrade next week, forgoing the initially planned upgrade.

What is the floor for Dangerfield this year as he seems to be plummeting!

Looking at Howe to premium midfielder and B,Davis to Petrecca

What will Nobles new price and BE be?

What will Nobles new price and BE be?

Approximately $265,900 with a BE of 18.

Early thoughts are:

OUT: Howe, Naismith
IN: Bontempelli, Xerri

 

[Blaze]

Looks like I will be researching defenders this week.
I expect one of Xerri, Philp and Serong will come into my team along with a Howe replacement. I won't be able to flip anyone into defence for him so picking a solid defender premo replacement will be important

 

[Connoisseur]

Hannebery, Sturt and Pickett will likely live to survive another round.

Out: J Howe and S Naimsith
In: ? and rookie
Remaining salary of $122,400

With Starcevich in the midfield and numerous dpp in the forward line any of N Fyfe/L Neale/D Martin/J Sicily/J Lloyd/T Stewart could replace Howe. As for Naimsith, B Williams will move to R3 and a def rookie will likely replace him unless Serong or fwd rookie is more appealing.

Sturt or Hannebery to make way for Whitfield in RD6.

 

[Toothless Tigers]

Is the Marcus Bontempelli 110+ now his scoring or the 90+ as per (76, 94, 97)?

 

[Professor]

With some people not following the conventional route to a full premo side this year, due to shortened season and different strategies, care needs to be taken when selecting players with an injury history. Although anyone can get bad luck, ( Howe ), you might find as injuries pop up your next weeks trading is to cover an injured player instead of upgrading, thus slowly falling behind to upgrading your overall side. I'm no expert and don't follow the conventional route of picking popular players myself. Good luck!!

 

[BomberSam]

Will look at all options for Howe but it's hard to see myself bypassing Laird at sub-500k.

My other trade will likely be Brown to a fallen mid or Taylor/Townsend to Petracca. Or if a definite must have rookie emerges this week I'll downgrade.

 

[Zoku Pops]

Using 2020 to do trades I otherwise wouldn't.

Cogs to Bont.

 

[IDIG]

Using 2020 to do trades I otherwise wouldn't.

Cogs to Bont.

After what we saw of cogs last night, I’d do that trade any year, even if it goes against one of the golden rules.

I know this sounds pretty depressing but has anyone considered Bont’s 166 as a victim of circumstance?

I watched the game:

- Sydney sent Hewett (probably their best tagger) to tag Macrae from the bounce
- Bont wasn’t tagged (at least in the first half)
- Naughton got injured, so Bont had no choice but to play key forward from that point onwards. A few massive contested marks boosted his score first half (112 roughly to be exact)
- Mills sent to tag Bont second half. Damage already done - finished with about 50 points in the second half. Pretty quiet to be honest

Consider the following circumstances:
1. Sydney had actually tagged Bont from the beginning (like most teams do anyway)
2. Naughton hadn’t gotten injured

Would he have scored so highly? I would say he would have scored 100-110 - not sure if so many of you would be in a hurry to bring him in with that score (considering a few of you wanted to trade him out last week & week before)

I personally don’t think so, and I feel as if trading him in is chasing points (I don’t have him, and won’t be trading him in all season)

Edit: I’ll happily eat my words if he starts hitting 140+ a few weeks in a row ?

Looks enticing with Laird, but Adelaide not travelling well atm, their defence has been under constant pressure, with Laird seeing more ball, you would think it represents higher possessions /points, but may be more under pressure and have clangers or ineffective disposals. Not for mine, I'd rather chase Lloyd. Although not in the same price bracket.

 

[Leroy]

Banking Howe's profit and turning him into a super-mid looks like the move.

Will Titchell get back to 110+ type scores? Bont? Gaff at home like was suggested above? Take a risk on Josh Kelly not getting injured and GWS having come good?
