Re: Round 4 Trades

have Irons +70K.

Is i too late to grab Savage or Libba? And if its not, which one? If they keep averaging what they are at the moment, they are set to go up another 150K in 3 rnds. I have Ward so they will all be ripe around the same time for the premo upgrade.

Or go Prestia, Who will not go up as much but has the MPP capabilities.

My bench will then be reasonably stocked.

Thoughts?

with savage and libba you have missed the main price rise but if that doesn't bother you (cause they will still continue to go up in value) then get them, libba has the bye this week savage has the bye in 2 weeks time so it depends on the rest of your bench, personally i'd go libba.

my question/problem (sorry its another bruce question)

Cam Bruce down to Scott McMahon, Nick Suban and pocket $100,000
or go a rookie like Tarrant, B Smith S Martin and pocket $300,000
or just completely sideways trade to Shaw, Flethcer and the likes around that price range.

most of my bench will increase in value so thats why im tossing up between the different price ranges.

Re: Round 4 Trades

Out: N. Riewoldt
In: Rioli

That is an absolute howler that you are almost guaranteed to regret

Rioli in is not the worst trade in the world, but for Roo? Wow

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.

The bye argument is not really relevant given you are trading Fyfe in well, you'll have to deal with losing him to the bye next week anyway

Re: Round 4 Trades

Roo -> Rioli - absolutely not! They'll end up averaging the same ... and it's a wasted trade.

Irons -> B Smith / Prestia / Savage? Or sit on my trades?

 

[DamoCFC]

Re: Round 4 Trades

OK...

So I know theres no need to trade these bye weeks... but.... some prices havent changed yet...

ie Brent Harvey(avg83) $488k & Cyril Rioli(avg130) $460k

Is it worth me trading harvey for cyril?? I cant decide? Will harv's come good or not???

 

[Mancey]

Re: Round 4 Trades

Will harv's come good or not???

He got a 100+ score against collingwood in his last game. 83 average is meaningless considering it's only the product of 2 games.

I'm certainly not pulling the trigger on him, especially not in these bye weeks.

Re: Round 4 Trades

Have a bit of cash spare after a downgrade last round, so am tossing up doing the following:

Montagna to either Griffen or Embley ( or any player under 474k )
Which would then allow me to upgrade Goldstein to Cox

Worth the trades? Otherwise I'm tossing up a sideways trade from Green to Rioli

Hmmm I can see why you would want to get Cox, but don't like the idea of getting ride of Montagna. He will come good.

I would consider Green to Rioli. For me Green isn't a true premium, but still is kind of a sideways trade. I think Rioli would tear it apart. If you really want to trade, I would go this option.

But always remember, trades should either be downgrades (to free up cash) or upgrades to get a better player.

What does everyone think of:

C. Knights - > McKernan ?

 

[shaun1800]

Re: Round 4 Trades

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

If that’s true then the hawks are crazy. It seems like a massive waste to bring in a guy like him and not use him, it also seems like a waste to use a player of his skill in a lockdown role. I’m thinking/hoping hawthorne wakes up to this, he gets the game plan down and his price rises again. Early days yet.

Re: Round 4 Trades

So Sandilands, do we trust Harvey, or make sure we have an emergency in the rucks this week just in case? I have Petrie on the ruck bench while Prestia is my only mid rookie on the bench that is active this week. Hmmmm.

 

[go the dogs]

Re: Round 4 Trades

I am currently 400ish overall and have Murphy Higgins and Ward from dogs and Goddard ad Riewoldt from saints. Murphy and Goddard are backline my 3 bench players are Lower Buckley and Stanley do you think i should trade out Murphy. Higgins and Ward are in the guts i traded Higgins for Scott thompson and bought on Dave Swallow for ward. Riewoldt goes to the bench and Rioli back on. WHat do you think for backline

Knights averages 110 in his last 3 against Port but hasn't played them since 2009. Up to you if you want to see how he goes. If you want the cash in the bank then do it but you might miss out on a good score from him.

I traded out Harvey after 2 bad starting rounds last year, then lived to regret it!
I want to get Rioli, but already have buddy...stupid team balance.

In SHORT - no,

Mckernan is no certainty to hold his spot, jacobs, tippett maric etc mean he is doubtful. Knights can and will rack up 80's - 100's on a regular basis. Remember the crows have played the hawks and freo so far, both teams will figure in the top 5 for sure.

Re: Round 4 Trades

Hey guys i need some help. should i make these trades? i only have $11,500 in the bank. I want to trade these 2 guys out because they are my most underperformed players. Or are there better players to swap them too?

S. Johnson ($426,700) ----> Yarran ($322,800)
A. Otten ($185,100) --------> Suckling (283,500)

fwd line is franklin, goodes, sylvia, N riewoldt, S. johnson, tapscott, krakoeur (darling, matera, calinan)

back line is gibbs, deledio, goddard, heppell, duigan, fisher, otten (smith, toy, coad)

Thanks for all your help. Good luck this week guys!

Re: Round 4 Trades

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

Don't have McKernan, decided to go Smith over McKernan due to McKernan appearing to play mostly as a KPF. Young KPF's are usually pretty inconsistent. Also, Smith's been named to play in the centre this week, so he should get more of the ball. That's my reasoning anyway.

Or Knights to Rioli

I have 305K just sitting there.

Re: Round 4 Trades

Yeah, I really want Rioli this week and have a lot of money just sitting there so i was considering one of:

Knights --> Rioli
Matera --> Rioli
Richardson --> Rioli

Not sure who to get rid of...

Knights BE 28
Matera BE -35
Richardson BE -38

All will go up after playing this week, that said so will will Rioli (BE 51). Out of those three, if you really want to do it i'd probably go knights. Still a lot of fat left in Matera and Richardson if you hold onto them, you'll be missing their big rises if you trade now

On the flip side of that, Knights has the runs on the board- he was a 85-90 avg player until he hurt himself last year, and there's no reason I can see why he can't regain some of that. Matera & Richardson are both handy, and useful cows, but still raw and unknown.
I'm not saying don't try to get Junior- he's in for a big year (I hope- he's been with me since the start!), just be sure not to get rid of the wrong guy while doing it. If you put a gun to my head I'd lose Richardson, ONLY because I think Matera has the edge over him job security wise.

Now- to my current dilemma. R Shaw for Suckling or Heppel (or someone else who'll make me a bit of cash on the deal who'll still average 70-80)? Or not? It's more a strategic trade than a necessary one- Shaw is probably not going to much more than he is currently, and is losing value. I'm hoping to spend up on at least one more premium next week, so would like to have a decent kitty to play with, and this will help.

Yes I would do R.shaw to Suckling or Heppell. As long as you haven't used too many trades already.


I have only used 1 trade & have $110k in bank, want to trade out Otten to get Suckling.

Otten will take time from ACL, Suckling seems capable of some 110 + scores.

Thoughts.

Yeah, all great points; cheers guys. You'd expect Knights to have the greatest average long term and I think he may come good which is why I was considering keeping him...

After examining my team again though, my forward line has a bit of depth and if I did keep Knights, he'd probably spend a lot of weeks warming the pine which would seem like a bit of a waste. For monetary reasons, I think I'll go Knights --> Rioli
