Strategy Round 8: Trades
- Thread starter gutsroy
- Start date
Still don't know what to do with my second trade. First will be McCluggage to Whitfield (his scoring has dropped with Zorko back in the team). I don't have enough cash to upgrade a rookie and I'm okay with one more week of Rankine, Taylor, Marlion and loophole Hibberd/Bennell on the field.
Currently thinking of trading Titch because he hasn't been playing well, is likely to drop in price before his bye and I don't like that Clarko was experimenting with him starting at half forward during centre bounces. Plus he lets me get a POD like Treloar (who also has some easy opponents coming up) or an underpriced premium like Zorko.
The other option is to trade Brander for Mayes/Simpson/Eggmolese-Smith but I'm reluctant to do it because of their price.

I was thinking this as well but was just wondering who to trade in.... Stewart is already going to be an in for me. At R10, best options would be a player free of the bye (i.e. Ess/Dees player) or a player with a "late bye" (who could be sideswapped again later in the year). Hopefully the R13-16 schedule is out by R10....
Just looked and only a couple of our 33 pre-season rookies haven't played yet so not many left but it has been good that a couple of others have
bobbed-up out of left-field...might need a couple more, please Brad Close, whoever you are.
Traded in Rankine this round which had him so excited it unfortunately put him off his goal kicking without which, he's, well, a bit off a Peacock, like Wingard. Anyway, hopefully he'll have settled down by next round and kick a handful.
Second trade was going to be Sam Simpson, but just revisiting Eggmolesse-Smith and he strikes me as potential Doedee type who would sit nicely in my back-line averaging 100 and making a bit of coin to boot. Like Doedee, not without some risk but probably a better on field prospect than Simpson. Not long now to decide whether or not to make the commitment.
