Strategy Round 8: Trades

[Herbie66]

I dont get the point of this. Yes they cram in 4 rounds in 3 weeks but they create the need for round 18. Killing the players for what?

I can understand them trying to cram in games , but then giving 6 teams a Bye in the same period , doesn't make sense to me.

Unless they are looking into the future for a possible 24-26 week season.

I'm considering trading Houston in mainly because I have to fix my defence, as it has too many Rookies (I will have to miss out on B Smith, hmmm). I'm leaning to D/M Houston because I can put D/M Rivers in the midfield, might be handy later through the Byes and I don't have any PTA players, again balancing my team to help it during the Byes.
As mentioned, yes he may go back to defence, but who knows? Houston trained preseason with the midfield, so I expect him to play mainly midfield.

I'd be careful with Houston now, he moved back to the midfield when Burton was back from injury. And now Burton is out with a quad

 

[Deeman1]

Who's Bazlenka? I've seen it a few times & have no idea who that is

Bailey Smith, I had to ask too ?

 

[Vicwood]

Just shuffling the deck. Any North fans with inside info on Simpkin.?
With the Suns on tonight I have Buda, as a loop. Need to decide MID or FWD.

Simpkin will determine which line, for the Buda.

Also King against PA. Is he a hold for one more week. Ports DEF looks a vertically challenged.?

Right thanks Deeman, still makes no sense as his nickname. If it was the Mullet I would have known who it was

It is what he uses on Instagram.

People were getting confused with B Smith (Adelaide) & B Smith (Western Bulldogs) so Bazlenka has been the common reference all season.

 

[Herbie66]

Thanks Herbie. The rest of my team is nowhere near as impressive unfortunately. I started with TJL and Ceglar so I guess I've traded rather hard in the forward line to get it to that point.
Unlucky with Heeney... Had been durable until now

I was hoping Heeney was one of my "safe" starting picks , not to be.

He might get a discount on his starting price for 2021.

Yes, this.

 

[Zim^zuM]

Yeah, sounds rough, but money is probably the main reason. It's up to the teams to manage the players though.
I personally think the AFL are doing a good job organising the games through this Covid-19.

What sre they gaining though?

Last I heard from Prof & GG here (they posted a video) is that Simpkin will miss 1 week probably.
Will know when teams gets released tonight before the game, just pray that North are honest and don't play the "late out" game.

No club would ever be that dishonest, would they?

 

[d-buzzz]

Thinking of bringing in B.Smith and J.Macrae this week.
team will end up with bont, macrae, smith and daniel (future trade target).
Too much from 1 team?

Not if they each avg what you want them to avg, but that is the key question really

 

[Adrenaline]

Like most SuperCoach teams, I am trading in a forward.
Would you recommend trading in Bailey Smith and save 100k or Petracca and get an extra round of scoring?

 

[Socrates2]

Pittonet to O’Brien (Gawn out of my price range)
Yet to decide on my second trade

O'Brien has a very tough fixture with Gawn and Grundy coming up.

 

[Socrates2]

Just deciding between Steele and Greenwood.Probably much of a muchness.

They will all have the same bye is my only (obvious) comment. When that will be... who knows.

Might be when they have the bye.

In short, yes

 

[Mudflap]

with the additional trades I am considering a sideways of Simpkin. 1 week can turn into 2 with ankles and with the position the Kangas are in at the moment it would need to be a no risk approach to a player like him. Not sure who I would trade to but looking for somebody who has a low B/E (potentially Higgins)
