Hill > Broughton
Barham > Deledio

Seems strange having Deledio in the mids by a 95+ average is good enough for 6th mid imo.

Fair enough but I would wait a week or two and get Kornes for the same price if I were you

Hey guys just seeing if anyone can reply to this

I have 14 trades left with only 33grand, and im tossing up whether or not to trade this week.

if everyone gets up that i need (zeibell, ablett, houlihan, higgins) hill and krakouer will be on field who im not 100% happy with and are looking to downgrade or upgrade

raines houlihan rich zeibell coughlan are fringe players that i think im going to be forced to keep for a little while which isnt bad and i could also add adcock to this list

then i have my bench. with petrenko, zaharakis, hartlett, walker, brown all there with cash to their name im wondering if i should just keep these guys for later,
 
Cheers Blue Boys.

You reckon Mackie is the best priced option at the moment? Had been eyeing off Gilbee but his 2 big scores has seen his price jump to nearly the same as Mackie. Considering Enright too but he's that little bit more expensive. I would like to get a premium in I think and want to get Broughton to make some cash - not too many downgrade defenders putting their hands up. Really wanted to jump on the Grimes train but with lack of trades I want to get someone durable and solid into my sidep- someone who I am certian will be a keeper barring any LTI's. Could be missing out on a gun but I don't think I can risk it. I'm sure I'll regret it later but I guess that's DT!

Could also go Hill to Grimes Geary to Mackie

Leave me with Backs of Fisher, Cornes, Lockyer, Bock, Mackie, Grimes, Raines (Petrenko/Rance)
With only Raines definitely needing an upgrade.

Will have to miss out on Broughton's first price rise but get him next week for Rance. Will leave me with around 170k which I can use to upgrade Rich to a Murphy/Kornes/Corey type.

Leave me with a side of

Fisher, Cornes, Lockyer, Bock, Mackie, Grimes, Raines (Petrenko/Broughton)

Ablett, Swan, Gibbs, J Selwood, Murphy/Kornes/Corey, Coughlan (Hartlett, DeBoer)

Cox, HMac (Jacobs, Browne)

Riewoldt, S Johnson, Pavlich, Deledio, Gia, Higgins, Ziebell (Walker, W Thomspon)

Means that 4 trades will get me 2 premiums and 1 keeper(Hopefully)

Unfortunately will be cashing Geary in a little early but due to lack of trades this may work out quite well. Help me complete my side with fewer trades. I will however have to play with a zero this week if Bock doesn't play but I can cop that if it will work out better long term. Thoughts?

Ok just had a look at break evens - Mackie is 116 so now thinking:

This week Rance to Broughton Hill to Grimes Leave me with about 220k
Next week Geary to Mackie Hopefully Mackie drops a bit and Geary up a bit so will only cost about 20k

Will then have about 200k to look at doing Rich to premium with some change. Also won't cop a zero.
 
backs: goddard, fisher, chornes, mundy, lockyer, houlihan, cheney, (suban, broughton)

midfield: bartel, montagna, edwards, gibbs, haselby, beams (deboer, anthony)

ruck: cox, mcintosh (spencer, jacobs)

forwards: deledio, goodwin, franklin, lovett, higgins, ziebell, warren (walker, brown)

125k, 15 trades.

at the moment i could do a straight swap brown to gia but its hard to trust gia.
i am very tempted to downgrade ziebell to sidebottom. this would allow me to upgrade beams to swan or brown to anyone but i dont know if it is worth it.
i think i need to make some trades especially if houlihan and ziebell arent back in which i doubt they will be.

any advice?
 
I can upgrade T.Tuck to any mid i want..
What is the best option, Bartel or a Swan/hayes/Corey and save 50-60k+
I already have 2 Geelong mids in ablett and selwood, not that thats a bad thing i guess

hmm with ablett coming back, rekon that will effect bartels scores? if so, u mite look at getting hayes as he is in ripper form, and like u sed 3 cats players mite be too many ?

I have the same dillema. Get Kornes in 2 weeks for 150k less than Jimmy or just get Jimmy?

If I were you Id get Swan, he has a huge BE though so you could wait one week, but I guess you need to trade now.

The beauty of this game. Look back in a month or two and see how those 50/50 decisions went :D

I have both Mackie and Gilbee in my side. IMO I prefer Mackie at this point, I picked him up last week ( scored 45 :eek:) but he did play a lockdown role. I just see Mackie playing a better DT style of footy with Geelong's backline inclusions.

Gilbee's scores been have been flattered by some big last quarters this year. I like his scope for large scores but, he's a bit up and down.

Good luck with whomever you pick :thumbsu:

I reckon you would be nuts to trade Ziebell. He will definitely be back this week, we are playing freo who give away BIG DT scores and IMO he could quite easily be a keeper in the fwds

Did you see my next post? Mackie's BE is 116. Now thinking of doing Hill to Grimes, Rance to Broughton this week. Next week Geary to Mackie and leave me with 200k. More than enough to upgrade Rich to a nice mid premium - Corey/Kornes/Hayes/Boyd - when he peaks. After the Rich upgrade will leave me with only Raines and Ziebell to upgarde if Grimes is a keeper. 4 trades equals 2 premiums and 1 keeper. Allows me to get all the players I want. I think this is the go. Still got a few days to go over it a million times in my head.

I would downgrade Hill to Grimes and upgrade Krak if I were you.
 
yeah i was leaning toward this but i just checked, just been burnt with krakwhores 40 on the weekend and getting grimsey for hill wont free up enuf cash for a upgrade on krak have 373.700 for krak
 
i know this may seem dumb considering ive kept him for this long but
is hentchell >> sidebottom considered a waste...having an injured forward bench player hurt me on the weekend and i reckon sidebottom would be a handy reserve for the rest of the year along with warren
means ill have 14 trades left thoughts?
i cant see hentchell coming back and averaging more than 50
also contemplating whitecross >> sidebottom
 
Cheers.

Sorry I missed it. Yeah that's a good move, just depends on how many trades you have left and if you're comfortable with your side.

having Ziebell and Raines as your worst players looks good. Even if you do cop injuries and cannot trade these guys out they should still score at least 70 you'd think. Good luck

ROK is only like 327

Trent played SANFL reserves on the weekend. I imagine we'll be cautious with him so I would expect he'll be at least 2-3 weeks away (at the earliest) from the crows side. We desperately need him as part of our future forward line plans so we won't rush him back. Could still be a handy scorer/money maker when he comes back but it depends if you can wait that long.

i should get higgins and ziebell back this week so it isnt too important if he isnt playing... is he in their best 22 when fit?? i would assume so...so i might hold on to him...and maybe consider a downgrade of whitecross who i think has almost peaked.
 
Petrenko -> Grimes
Hill -> Sidebottom

Can't stand doing 2 trades! The ins will be important for me though.

Pussy. I love trading, just to see a new gun enter my side feels good even if i have to use 2 trades to get him. If you're hesitant on trading this year you will struggle. Ive only got 6 trades left, but 1 upgrade left aswell..which is why my teams amazing.

You could get ROK, Deledio, Gia, Buddy, Roughead, Davey, Goodwin.

There are quite a few options there. Are you determined to get a Riewoldt, Johnson type? Depends on your side but some of these guys are very well priced at the moment. Can't see Krak going up again for a few weeks or Johnson dropping too much more.

Trent at his best is without a doubt in our best 22. We will just spend the extra weeks making sure he's 100% right to go because he is such an important part of our side.

Only 3 more rounds of doing two trades per round and it should be perfect!

Good work:thumbsu:, now you just have to cross your fingers and hope the injury gods are being kind.

Well ive already been smashed with injuries so hopefully the blowtorch has been taken off my team for a while. Might seem crazy how i can only have 6 trades left ive had about 10 injuries and multiple droppings due to form.

Backs: Goddard, Cornes, Gilbert, Adcock, Birchall, Grimes, Broughten (Cheney, Patrenko)
Midds: Ablett, Corey, K.Cornes, Gibbs, Winderlich, Hartlett (Beams, Collins)
Rucks: Cox, Sandi (Jacobs, Spencer)
Forwards: Stevie J, Chappy, Franklin, Pavlich, Davey, Higgins, Ziebell (Nahas, M.Brown)

Hoping Hartlett will be this years Palmer once he gets going and Broughten to score 70's being a mature aged recruit..saying this my team will probably implode :eek:
