Re: Round 4 Trades

I went a bit light on premiums and have 305k in the bank. In my main league as a result Ive lost all 3 games by less then a kick! So i need to make a move to ensure I even make the finals to win the money.

so I have to sacrifice someone who will still make money for a big scorer who also may rise in price. This is my line of thinking atm so any advice will be greatly appreciated and followed up with a thank you post

A Krakouer to J bolton?
or
A Krakouer to Curnow
or
a Krakouer to C Rioli

seem to be settled on losing Krakouer ahead of trading out Buckley who despite missing last week is my only link for DPP with goddard, deledio and heppel all in my back line. To swap him I would have to put him back in def and do my trade in the DEF

I think you would be crazy to get rid of krakour, I would keep him at least until their rnd 7 bye.

But If if your that set on dropping him I would take junior as he hasn't risen in price yet, think you've missed the curnow train and I don't think jude can maintain his score for a season.

Just my thoughts

Out: N. Riewoldt, Knights
In: Rioli, Fyfe

Did I miss roo getting injured? If not, that is a terrible terrible trade. Always liked fyfe tho.

I'm tryin to decide if I dump boomer for rioli before there price changes. Rioli has two byes but ones in a round where there's no league games. Also boomers bye is during the league finals. Or should I just keep boomer?

I also can't decide whether to scrap puppolo as my def rooks are pretty light on. Do I hold for pederson or take mckernan before he goes up? There's another one who's av is higher than mckernan and has another week before price rise. What u guys think?

Would a sideways trade at this point, specifically Montagna > Bartel be worth it?

How is it a terrible trade? Saints have a bye this week, Rioli is averaging 30+ points more, Saints are in a rut and I get enough money to trade Knights for Rioli while retaining a decent amount.

Didak hasnt looked like pulling a big score as yet - best to wait to upgrade later in the season.

how about Jolly - Bellchambers ? I also have Petrie/Tippet and Z Smith for rucks so looking pretty good there. It will free up almost $200000 for upgrade elsewhere. Thoughts?

Riewoldt is a keeper, He was in a side that got spanked by 60 points a still got 100+, You don't trade keepers. Roo will be in the top 10 forwards at the end of the year. It would be silly to trade out someone like that.

I must admit I was seriously considering Roo out for Cyril but came to the same conclusion, it will hurt in the end.

Am seriously considering Petrie out for Rioli though, will sleep on it.

Re: Round 4 Trades

You spent big bucks on Bruce at the start of the season(with some sought of faith I'm assuming), yet you're willing to give him up after 3 rounds and blow 2 trades?? It's a long season, player form changes dramatically. Rioli is a great example of that... he'll drop off, matter of time.

If you're playing this way you've probably already spent 2-4 trades as it is... Don't waste more going sideways. There are no league games this week so even if you're thinking about overall score, this move isn't a good one.

Wait till one of your rookies makes some $$$, then you may be able to keep Bruce and upgrade a lesser player to Rioli.

Looking to trade out Bruce this week, was thinking Adcock or Suban?

Personally I think trading out premos after a couples of bad games and using trades isn't a good policy, but I'd go adcock.

I'll play the devil's advocate here as i'm considering this trade myself.

The thing about Bruce is, that he's not a true premium. I traded him in hoping he'd run through the midfield in stages but instead he's been playing lock-down roles or even worse, started as a sub.

After reading some of the opinions of the Hawks board they seem to think he'll be a sub more than once this year or even worse, spend a couple of weeks in the 2s to get more in tune with the Hawks game plan.

The other problem with Bruce which in hindsight was as big of a blunder as any, is that he shares byes with Geelong and Freo in a couple of weeks so if you have Enright, Broughton, Lower or 2 of which alot of us do you could be staring at a donut depending on your emergencies/mpp, etc.

The last thing which is as important as the above imo is that he plays for the Hawks where Hodge, Buddy, Rioli, Mitchell and now Burgoyne take the brunt of their points. It doesn't really leave him a great opportunity to score consistent tons.

I can't see Bruce averaging more than 80 this year and I think that's being generous (currently averaging 63) whereas I can see Rioli averaging at least 105-110 this year and with the question marks over Bruce's role and if he'll be sub or not I can definitely see the worth in the trade.

Sideways trade Hibberd. Y/ N?

Re: Round 4 Trades

I don't think so. Too sideways. Waste of a trade. Montagna will come good. Even if Bartel ends up outscoring him over the year, it won't be by much and won't be worth burning a trade on. Bartel's 159 came against a pretty poor opponent and Montagna will get one of his byes out of the way this week.

Re: Round 4 Trades

If it looks like Hibberd's a few weeks away, trade in a good cheapie (e.g. Coad) and make some cash. Hibberd will hopefully be a good downgrade target down the track.

Keep in mind you will also have to trade him out week of the prelim as Geelong have the bye.

Re: Round 4 Trades

I don't think it's too late. I did this trade in another DT game. If you have a weak link in your midfield then it's definitely a good trade. Curnow will probably bust through 400k and maybe even push 500k, whereas Conca looks like topping out at perhaps 300k. Curnow might even be a decent 6th mid in the long run.

This . In hindsight, it was a really bad idea to get Bruce as a premium, the only reason I got him was I had a fair bit of cash left in the bank and got the most expensive defender I could afford with my last pick. I should have realised then that Bruce would have to average well over 100 to keep his value (I think a player averaging 100 will stabilise around $450k this year, was $500k last year) and that will be near impossible in a team with Buddy, Rioli, Mitchell, Hodge and Sewell. He dropped a massive 50k to $440k and I'm getting him out for B. Smith before he drops any further (to maintain $440k he'll need to avg in the high 90s). The money I save will go straight into the 'upgrade Boak to Swan' fund after the Pies' first bye.

Yeah hilliarious.

Another encounter worthy of the SC rivalary thread

Would a sideways trade at this point, specifically Montagna > Bartel be worth it?

I'd do it. I don't buy into the 'no sideways trades' unofficial rule. A lot of my trades last year were based 50% on stats, 50% on gut feeling. If it feels right, do it. Keep in mind though, you'll need to sub/trade Jimmy out during SC finals.

Ward---------->Savage

Duncan-------->Didak.

Thoughts?

I'd do it. Both trades make sense, and we've got 24 to play with this season. I don't know why people are being so conservative (well, that's what it feels like anyway).

Sideways trade Hibberd. Y/ N?

I'd do it. Hibberd still a couple of weeks off from all reports, and even then, I can't see him breaking into the Bombers' best 22 given how well they're flying.

Do you have McKernan out of curiosity? I'm tossing up between these two myself.

Seriously, if you think you can cover Rioli for Round 7, that's a no brainer for mine.

Saints struggling, and Rioli could average 110 this year.

Didak doesn't look like he'll necessarily hit his straps anytime soon. I wouldn't do it, at least not for now.
