2009 Trade Discussion- Part 7

[GrandBlue]

No, he isn't injured but he's really beginning to piss me off when he drops all these easy marks. I love his goal kicking abilities but his lack of hunger for the ball is what annoys me so I'd rather keep Dale Thomas and get rid of Buddy for Bob Murphy.

That is a very bold move i think that come end of year and finals you would be regreting that trade. i assume you have alot of trade left to be doing a trade like that. also keep in mind that murphy is still injured but it seems like you've thought about it so go with your gut mate

Ok couple of options here:

This wk: Cornes > Lockyer / Enright
Otten > Muston

Next wk: Rich > Bartel = $45k change

Option 2)

This wk: Cornes > Mundy / Ellis
Otten > Muston

Next wk: Rich > Bartel = $97k change

Option 3)

This wk: Cornes > Lockyer / Enright
Otten > Muston

Next wk: Rich > Dal Santo = $145k change

Option 4)

This wk: Cornes > Mundy / Ellis
Otten > Muston

Next wk: Rich > Dal Santo = $200k

Basically its:

Locker/Enright + Bartell + $45k

VS

Mundy/Ellis + Bartel + $145k

VS

Mundy/Ellis + Dal Santo + $200k

After these trades my only upgrade's will be Sidebottom & Coughlan/Muston

Need to work out if the cash would be better spent after taking the risk on Mundy/Ellis, or take the safe option with Lockyer/ Enright?

Take Bartel now, or pick up Dal Santo and have the extra $100k to ugrade Muston in 4-5 weeks?

Thoughts appreciated, i have 9 trades left.

 

[Robbo123]

hey guys
trying to finish off my side but unsure of when to pull the trigger on certain trades to get the best deal
These are the four trades i will be doing
beams -- > muston
Rich/couglan --> Salopek
Warren --> Ballantyne
Ziebell --> Riewoldt

beams trade has to happen this week but i should wait at least another week on rich and warren to rise in price to do those. The problem with this is that Ziebell may drop in price during that time making it hard to upgrade to riewoldt.
Have 20K and 10 trades left
thought

i am going to do the exact two same trades with warren - ballantyne and ziebell to riewoldt. riewoldt has b/e of 140 and warren is going to rise nicely so im doing that in 1-2 weeks - i will assess whether it's worth waiting another week (bank vs points) next round.
but those 4 trades seem good in that order.

my other dilemma is whether to trade chornes. i have 12 trades left and suban and cheney on bench. suban should play every match with freo's injuries. say chornes is out for 5 weeks:
suban (50) x 5 = 250
vs
mackie/enright/birchall/purgoyne (95) x 5 = 475

so that's 200-250 points lost but a trade saved, not to mention the risk of the traded in player getting injured or having their current average of about 85 or less.

i am going for overall rank as always. 738th at the moment.
thoughts as to trading him or not?

 

[GrandBlue]

On second thought I'm not sure about my actions. I do really want Bob Murphy because he has huge scoring potential being the go-to man around half forward/forward and even midfield but I don't have too many upgrade options. 1 would be Buddy if he keeps up the terrible scores and the other would be Dale Thomas whom I think will step up eventually as he'd enjoy getting dream team points for his own dream team!

I don't have a lot of trades left, if I bring Bob Murphy in then I'll have 5 trades left remaining and that'll hurt in the finals and hell, I'm still in the eliminator!, my safest option at this rate is just doing the last 2 trades being Chornes -> Ellis/Mundy and Otten -> Kornes... Yes I'm definitely trading out Chad unless Rance comes back into Richmond's side this week, Suban is not staying on the field for 4-6 weeks.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

If i was going for overall rank - with 12 trades left - i'd flick him. Big risk that it takes 8 weeks and he comes back underdone.

Port have a good DT run home now with most of their games against sydney, geelong and st kilda done with - i'd even look at a purgoyne now.

Me? I'm keeping him - going for league win and hoping he is firing by round 19!!

i have cornes as well but im going to keep him. I have broughton and suban as back up so i should be right, just leaves me with both cornes and hodge on the pine .
Thinking about the other trades though i had an idea, how about this
this week
ziebell --> ballantyne (dont get ziebell's drop in price)
Beams --> Muston
next week
Warren --> Riewoldt
Couglan/Rich --> salopek (can see who out of the two will be my 6th mid)

 

[RickSanchez]

Ok for my question what do you think is better guys:

Rich + Kornes + Fisher

vs

Mundy/Harding (One or other) + Salopek + Foley

I am leaning towards Mundy but hes always like 110 then next week 50, so its hard to say. Please give us some info, I appreciate the feedback.

Yeah....

 

[drinker]

ziebell>volt

and

one of hartlett/zaha/beams > muston

atm its beams but if he gets named and zaha doesnt then zaha to muston

 

[ajay]

Yeah....

Rich + Kornes + Fisher definitely imo.

I would keep him personally. I would only trade Chad out if you think he is going to put in lower scores after he returns or you dont have any cover. Best case scenario he is only out for 4 weeks (3 games) so it is definately not worth wasting a trade. It you dont feel Suban is adequate cover maybe consider Suban -> Grimes or Broughton who look like they could provide cover and 60-90 ppg

I've got a bad feeling that alot of people are going to regret the decision to trade someone who is playing every game for a rookie that is yet to debut

 

[peekaye]

Rich + Kornes + Fisher definitely imo.

Agreed, not even close imo

 

[Jay-Z]

Was planning to go Houlihan --> Lockyer this week (unsure about Houlihan's job security)

Now with Cornes injury I am forced to reconsider:

Options 1:
Keep Cornes, Trade Houlihan to Lockyer:
Broughton (covering for Cornes): 5*75 = 375
+ Cornes 7*95 = 665
Total: 1040

Option 2:
Keep Houlihan, Trade Cornes to Lockyer:
Houlihan 12*75 = 900 or 12*85 = 1020 (I am not sure of his avg over the rest of the yr)
Total: Between 900 and 1020 points

There are risks in both options obviously (will Cornes come back and fire, will Houlihan get dropped again, can Broughton keep up his fantastic avg, etc). Which would you choose?

 

[RickSanchez]

Thanks for the replies guys, I think you are right that the top 3 are probably far more consistent and capable of achieving higher scores. Thanks.

You probably won't make it to the end with 4 trades left for the last 11 rounds. Injuries must have really hurt you.

 

[lifelike_]

Unsure about this week (will probably just be Robinson -> Muston), but next week:

Rich -> Bartel
Otten -> Dal Santo/Green/Salopek/Stanton

I'm in the same boat. Thinking Option 2 at the moment (unsure whether to go Lockyer or Fisher). I also don't have the luxury of a playing Sub - got Raines and Petrenko on the bench, so I guess that simplifies it for me.
I think Houlihan could be a decent keeper if he holds his spot - he hasn't been playing particularly badly, and I reckon he could average 80.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Was planning to go Houlihan --> Lockyer this week (unsure about Houlihan's job security)

I am not so concerned about Houlihan's job security - more the change in role he seemed to be given on Friday night.

He was taking the run off defender and trying to make them accountable. He scored "ok" because he got a couple of goals. However it looks like the new role (albeit in one game) is to play a defensive forward role.

I could be wrong - was hoping he'd be a keeper for me - we'll see how the next fortnight pans out for him

 

[Jars458]

I will hang onto Cornes as I have both Broughton and Suban as reserves with Grimes a defeinite starter.

Have $220K in the bank, this week will prob go Beams to Muston and M BRown to Giansiracusa.

Next week can go Otten or Rich to Premium Mid. Hopefuilly Bartel will drop enough to allow this. Happy to play one of Otten or Rich for rest of season with Muston as back up, and Kerr on the bench. Kerr is not worth trading at this current price.

That will leave me with 7 trades.

 

[GoodGoal]

Unsure about this week (will probably just be Robinson -> Muston), but next week:

Rich -> Bartel
Otten -> Dal Santo/Green/Salopek/Stanton

Don't like Scott Thompson? I think he's the safer than all of the options you have got there.

Next week I'm looking at bringing in Roo or Pav as both have quite high BE's this week.

I will be trading one of Mitch Brown or Walker down to Ballantyne and upgrading Skippy.

Only dilemma is currently playing Sidebottom as my 7th forward and not sure about his job security, and Walker is a better option as a reserve if I am playing him more than a normal reserve.

Would people rather Pav (+ Walker) or Riewoldt (+ Mitch Brown)?

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Would people rather Pav (+ Walker) or Riewoldt (+ Mitch Brown)?

That one for me

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

Unsure as to whether i should keep Cornes or trade him for someone such as Adcock/Enright/Ellis. I already have the injured Hodge and Broughton on my bench, with Hill on field looking to give me a zero this week due to his corkie. If i keep Cornes i'll be copping a zero this week, and maybe the next if Hodge doesn't pull up.

Because of this, i'm almost certain i'll trade Cornes. Plus, given he will be out for 6 weeks (5 due to split round), i'm questioning as to whether it is worth hanging onto someone that will only come back and play 6 games - of which i don't expect him to come back firing.

1. Cornes -> Adcock?
2. Cornes -> Ellis, +40,000?
3. Cornes -> Enright?

Which is the better option? I'm leaning towards Adcock, but Ellis would give me extra coin, keeping in mind he has just come off a delicate foot injury.

Thoughts?

 

[lifelike_]

Don't like Scott Thompson? I think he's the safer than all of the options you have got there.

I'll be around 15-20k short unfortunately.

Would have been at the top of the list if he was within reach.
