Trades 2025 Fantasy Round 3 Trades

[TotalJoker]

Footywire breakevens updated. Day and Taylor will be out for me next week if all goes to plan

 

[Barnzy]

Whitfield 2 scores last year vs hawks - 137, 123

Time for a sugar hit?

I do think it's viable to trade Day this week if you're in a great position without other bullets. A Bedford tag this week, the bye, then Port Adelaide with a likely Drew run with role.

In saying that, his run post that Port game is an absolute dream and he could easily smash 100+ average in those 5-6 weeks.

I'll probably hold given I've got Perryman and Hollands to deal with, and hope he comes good during those matchups.

I could do Perryman and Day to Farrell and Dawson, but would mean completely fading Lashcroft and Lindsay. Which maybe I do but just feels a bit short termist.

You need to secure Lashcroft and Lindsay. I'm trading Day, but I already have both.

Hmm they're already over 400k. I'm skeptical.

I think the most sensible play is Day to Dawson and FOS to Lashcroft, miss Farrell but can probably still get him next week (especially with Perryman on the bye not losing cash).

 

[Phar Ace]

Not if he gets tagged to a 40. I thought Perryman was a hold, then he pulls out a non counting 43 point score and loses a bunch of cash.

Wasn't tagged the last time they met at UTAS and went 109 with he and Peatling having a 'tackle-out' with 10 each. So it may not happen again.


This game should be different from a strategy perspective, as the Hawks are accepted as a coming force, rather than in development phase, so maybe they do tag someone, Day or Newcombe. The Hawks seem to have developed strategies on this, involving Nash.

Iirc, the tag on Day needed top be released at Manuka, around 3/4 time, in order to try and win the game, which GWS did by just 2 points. So the tag not a given - GWS might well try without it give that was one of the differences last time.

 

[MaxiBont]

Trading Day this week would be such a luxury trade. I'd be very surprised if he's people's best trade this week

It’s a luxury watching him knowing he is not in my fantasy team while he is trundling around.

 

[BennyFC]

What are people's thoughts on bringing Neale in? Priced at 93-ish after his 37 in Rnd 1, has averaged 94+ for the last ten years and should be about 10 points unders. Geelong and Richmond next two, and a good run all the way through to the byes less a likely Windhager tag in Round 7.

Currently going:
Day > Neale
Campo/FOS > Clohesy

Would leave me with $150k-ish on the bench to set me up for a Sanders upgrade next week

I like it, but i like anything a little left-field.
I think hes potentially 10 points of value and a POD who is captainable in the right matchups

I’ve been looking at Neale too
He’s so much cheaper than dunks and presents better value and such nice matchups coming up…

Such a tough one

 

[whattagun07]

Priority OUTS this week are (in no order);

Garcia
Day
FOS

Plenty of cash to upgrade Day to anyone, but would a downgrade to Knevitt be a better option to keep the cash flowing? Would give me a warchest (880k) to work with thereafter.

 

[bettingonbetts]

Is it stupid to use my whole bank to upgrade Day to Dunks for his run when there are options like Callaghan (good run after this week) and Powell available? Even Neale (I do like to look for players going up in value though)

Still have Finlayson and think it’s safest to cash 260k to upgrade him to Rankine next week…
Or could get dunks, downgrade FOS and get Rachelle for Finlayson next week?

Not worried by a Mark O'Connor tag? Usually gets the job when fit.

Also, weather not looking great for Saturday.

Knevitt in a rainy stoppage heavy game sounds good to me. The same fixture last year saw Bruhn score 95. Rain won't be as heavy, but will absolutely suit his style.

Dunkley would be the premium target if you were looking for one.

I am a big Dunks guy, but if you really wanted to do Day this week I'd turn him into Powell.

Powell doesn’t have a great run coming up, also not super keen on bringing in more R12 bye guys…
Tough one
Why is everyone so keen on Powell?

Yeah i'm pretty keen to get him in I think. Role seems rock solid, and as has been mentioned earlier, still has a lot of $ growth left.

Just not sure if I should downgrade Day to Knevitt.
or upgrade FOS to Knevitt.

Powell is ready to it up.

Can't afford Dunks sadly but tempted to get Choccy in, as his only real tag risk now in his next 8 weeks coming up is Windy.

Macintosh is a crap tagger, 50/50 on if Sidey runs with him, Hok don't tag anymore outside of Nash doing a run with role

Wouldn't be a bad run for any Lions mid. Ashcroft is making me nervous but think he'll go nuts soon. His fourth quarter was very, very good on the weekend.

 

[bettingonbetts]

Powell or Callaghan?
Callaghan has a nice run

and the fact that the Lions have a chip chip style of play with all their players is what makes them juicy picks, it's not just the HB's doing it, it's the mids too, they take a heap of marks

 

[Exambolor]

Powell or Callaghan?
Callaghan has a nice run

Powell has the question of his role when Warlord returns but it's tough to move him out the way he's going.
Finn still did well with Green back in the side

I'm going Day > Dawson this week because I already have Dunkley.

I am comfortable skipping the Powell/Callaghan to go straight to Dawson as the bye structure works best for my team and I just feel that Callaghan isn't a great fantasy player and Powell had some real bad games last year due to changing role.

If I choose the premo I won't regret it as much if they go badly than me choosing the 850-900k player and the premo scoring high.

Oh dear so bloody hard
Keen on Callaghan, also keen on Powell
Keen on Dunks with his role and will keep him for the rest of the year
Also keen on Neale because of the run but is #1 tag target
Who to get grrrr

Or just get Knevitt and save about 800k cash hahaha
