Trades 2021 Round 6 Fantasy Trades

[tigs2010]

That said, Short got 125 pts the week B4, with Houli playing ? ......that said, it didn't appear players were looking to get the ball into Shorts hands ......often taking on themselves to exit the ball from DEF

May have been part of RICH's tactic of getting speed on the ball in preference to hitting a target exiting DEF

Against Port we conceded 61 inside 50's compared to 33 against the Saints and also Port kicked 7 more behinds for the cheap play on and kick +3.

If we decide to get speed on the ball, Short should be getting a large number of handball receives from quick play ons.

He also doesn't rack up many +6's like a lot of half backs he will be more around the 3-5 marks most weeks it seems.

He should be good for 85-95 most weeks pretty consistently and may have the odd one out of the box.

Andy brayshaw? Why's no one keen on him? Elite scorer, averaging 115 if you don't include the tagged rounds. North this week

I picked him up after this first two rounds to watch him get tagged for the first time in his life for a pair of 60s. He had Carlton, Curnow hadn't tagged anyone the first two rounds, and Hawthorn, who don't often run a hard tag (and it was Worpel out of all people who tagged him). It was hard viewing.

He's shown he's susceptible to tag and is the number one tag target at Freo, with Fyfe splitting his time forward and often being too strong.

I'm nervous with him playing North this week, someone (Turner?) ran with Laird the other week.

But in saying all that he's a great Fantasy player when he's on, does it all - kicks, marks, tackles.

If you choose him just be willing to cop the lows with the highs.

He was very good last year (from memory), but will he get more attention with Cerra going down injured ? He hasn't reliably demonstrated that he can deliver big scores - and with other more reliable premiums at low, low prices (Crazy TDC's Bargain Sale voiceover here) - I'd be looking at a Treloar or other players first.

But he would be a good POD in some respects....

 

[Neale4brownlow]

Interested to hear what everyone's thoughts are with Highmore/Meek?

If Highmore isn't named again this week even with Webster out I think he's basically done for the year (might play 1 or 2 more with more injuries?).

Meek looks to be out permanently until more injuries.

I could fix both this week:
Highmore/Meek -> Farrar/Macrae. It costs me $20k but I atleast get two more green lights.

That's assuming of course that Clark is named. If not, he has to go instead of one of them.

It feels like these sorts of deadwood swaps could be a complete waste of time (particularly in Farrar's case who probably gets dropped after a couple? But an 86 with a good role is hard to ignore even if it's temporary).

 

[Cotchy9]

Webster is a test this week so may even play yet

Yeah I agree for sure, but a tag every now and then I think won't matter too much as without them he looks like a 115 player and has a dream run coming up! 690k is just too much of a bargain for me.

I got trealor, gonna get Ridley in 2 weeks when his price his down. I'm not keen on Neale like everyone else, only averaged 110 once and will cop more tags then brayshaw this year.

 

[Anzac16]

For the Webster owners, he’s listed as a test on the injury list and will have a run later this week to prove his fitness

Interesting. Figured he'd be a definite out. I'd consider holding if he did play. Pity the Saints play last game on Sunday making that very hard to hold unless we get a clear "he's right to play" from Ratts.

Yup I agree, but I still think for example he averages more then Neale at 50k cheaper and has a dream run coming up. Even with a hard tag hoping he gets 60s, tackles hard! Just love his game and think he's cheap. Probably serong/Phillips to brayshaw.

Got rid of Highmore early, but certainly looking to get rid of Meek - next week if I can.

Plan would be to try:

Meek out - Burgess to Util
Hind - Defence
Martin - forward

Then see who is playing.

I still have H Sharp to deal with and potentially Parks, Scott, Berry (but they are all bench players). But hoping that if there is a rookie mid to come in, it'll allow me 180K to trade upwards with my second trade next week.

So maybe the upshot of all that is:

Meek out - unknown in.
Jordan out - C Ward in ???

Make it a smaller stepping stone to a premium in the future. F Macrae probably then sits at M8 for a while in that structure.
I'd also then push the lesser performing of L Jones/Idun to D7 as well, with Hind shifting into defence.

It's worth doing if it gives you more flexibility and improvement across the entire structure of your side...

Yep, all fair comments !! I'm not looking at Neale soon either, but mids are the least of my troubles right now.....

Only other thing I'm thinking of over brayshaw is zorkon at similar priced. Probably averages 105 this season and Id a top 6 foward. Can trade him straight for Phillips!

Phillips to zorko or serong to brayshaw

 

[Milo Cyrus]

Tex listed as a low grade calf strain that he should be able to play through, it's been a fun ride but it's time for me to get off.

obviously grabbing a keeper is preferable than someone who may not be that. Although Brayshaw at M8 isn't the worst end result....

I'm shaping towards Meek > Z Smith in a couple of weeks - it will cost a 150k but I'll use the big Meekster as loop Captain if he's required till then.
Pending some other great escape!

My first choice of trade is probably Clark -> F.Macrae and Phillips -> Neale (or Titch).
It's a 1 down 1 up scenario.
If Clark is named, my better bet might be refreshing two rooks and playing the long game.
Particularly for byes it'll be good to have a full set of green lights on the go... the only issue I can see is you can spend forever and a day trying to keep 30 green lights in your team only for more to get dropped (back for those you already had..).

Highmore I think has had long enough now, unfortunately with the Sunday game it might not mean I can trade him this week and might be a next week propspect.

I could do Clark (if dropped) -> Macrae trade 1.
Then hold Trade 2 for Sunday, at which time I can still do my phillips upgrade, or swap Meek out for McCreary.

Agreed. Meek (at this stage) is a next week proposition. I wouldn't do it now in your position - take advantage of the one up, one down while you can. it still helps refesh cash generation as well.

This week I still have Butters out injured - which means I cannot take advantage of the DPP additions.

That DPP switch is next week, which I described above - and does involve eliminating Meek (if possible). it does also depend on how your cash generation is going and timing of trades. For mine, Jordan, Campbell, Wicks and Berry are currently looking like they are peaking. So Wicks goes this week, potentially Jordan next week. Hopefully, I can bring in fresh cash generation (F Macrae this week, who the **** knows next week).

By then, Berry will probably need to be dealt with and so on...

Throwing a spanner into all this will be who is injured, rested and suspended....

Are those your only non-playing rookies?

If so, surely your two trades could be better used to upgrade somewhere else? Two DNPs is not a disaster, and could wait for later.

If you have others as well and need to strengthen your bench for cover/cash generation, then the two trades you suggest would appear to among the better options available at the moment (depending on team announcements as always).

He's getting upgraded this week for me. Made enough cash to make jump to an uber premo so done his job and I'm not taking the risk on him spudding it up.

 

[Lukebatty97]

Okay, last one Fyfe or zorko? Zorko is 30k more expensive. Fyfe looks to be super consistent, zorko not so much but higher ceiling.

 

[Balsam]

Currently have 11 rookies under 300k with 2 of them dead (Fullarton & Evans) and 7 over 300k.

I'm really hoping that those 9 'playing rookies' can generate some decent cash otherwise I'm in shitters ditch trying to manage 10 upgrades by the end of the byes or close to it.

I have 9 players under 300K in my team. 4 x DNP last week, however Flynn should definitely come back in this week and Brockman is also a chance. Depending on McInerney's injury at Brisbane, even Fullarton might be a chance. This leaves Meek as my only one showing zero signs of life, and he's already down as my first trade this week.

As much as the normal plan is to have zero rookies on your field by the end of the byes, it very rarely works out that way. There are always new speedhumps popping up such as injuries which will derail your plans. Personally, if I can add one premo every two weeks and one for each bye week, I'm pretty happy with the result.

For me, that would mean having 17 premos at the end of the byes.

Thank **** no Thursday game this week

Means we will know most sides before the first game

Thoughts on Bergman's JS? And also McCreery's?

Was considering bringing Bergman back in this week, ahead of FMacrae (who I'd target next week when his BE comes down even further) or McCreery.

I've already traded-out Berg once (after Rd2 when he was first dropped, which I now regret). Even with the injuries at Port, they have SPP and maybe Rocky that could come back within a fortnight. It would sting if he only managed another week or two in my team, and I had to spend 3 trades on him!

So is it worth just bypassing Bergman completely - maybe grab McCreery this week and FMac next week? Or just grab FMac now?

...And I think I've just convinced myself to pass on Berg now
