Trades 2023 Round 3 Fantasy Trades

[Gold_Cat]

Has anyone seen both Saints games and have insight into Stocker? Does he have a good role or is he playing lockdown and been lucky with chipping the ball around?

Okay I actually watched the highlights on the app, essentially another distributor, not lock down. He was getting himself into good positions taking marks and tackling. Looks like he will benefit from this role and the saints style. Priced at 55~ I think he can comfortably average 80-90 in that role.

 

[Exambolor]

Simply anything is possible - Bevo is devo!

Gotta see if he finally puts Caleb Daniel in the ruck for the memes

 

[Mezzoculo]

Does that bring Rowell into play?

Possibly, although after bringing in day and setters last week I'm not looking to take another punt on a sub-premo. I'll most likely target a 'value' top ender in Gulden or Daicos.

The only way I bring in a sub premo is if I consider English - will need to pair him with a Ziebell type to get the cash needed to turn Ladhams into Timmy boy. And that's essentially switching midpricers (Ladhams -> Ziebell) rather than adding more. Also, English is a better option than Anderson.

I've long been Macrae's biggest fan, and I reckon he's almost been my first picked every year for about 8 years. Perfect fantasy game, wins inside and out, spreads well, tackles enough, always in the right spots, reliable rotations.

But I nearly punted him last week. The end comes for all players, and for some it's earlier than others. Macrae's 28, he's played 200 games, he's pretty much played every game since he came into the system. So he's been through a lot. And he's not particularly athletic. If he loses more athleticism, which it seems he is, it turns a weakness into a liability and he looks proper short of a gallop.

I reckon that's simply it. There's now a trendline. And he lost CBAs this season despite Dunkley going & this week, no Treloar.

Of course, if there are pressing problems elsewhere, fix them first.

But it's a market game where cash gen is key, and lots of rookies are unreliable this year. If Macrae's a 95-100 guy and so is Setterfield, and you make that trade, you're getting the same scoring and over the turn, 170k in cash gen. And to get these mid pricers who are popping, you've got to find the cash to get there somehow. There's a solid argument Macrae to Setterfield could be better for cash than swapping rookies.

I can't see a reality where Macrae is a top 10 mid this year anymore. And if he is, I'll be happy to trade him back in of course. But what's going to change? There's no reason for his drop off (injury etc.). There's no apparent reason the coach is minimising his role. He's probably just not that good anymore.

If people think the Setterfield/Worpel types are necessary, then I'd definitely tick the move off if there's no other way to get there.

Then for people like me - who enter this round already owning all of the big trade targets (Day, LDU, Worpel, Setterfield, Daicos, Sheezel) bar Ziebell, I've got to use my trades somewhere. Much better what looks to be a falling premium than waste it on a s**t rookie for a s**t rookie, or a McGrath type IMO.

Macrae has definitely lost a step and looks to be labouring out there. Hope it's just a fitness/form thing and the game hasn't gone past him, but fantasy doesn't wait around for weeks or months for your 900k uber mid to find fitness. Failed the eye test, failed the role test and the Bevo test is just permanently marked a fail. Even with him being one of my all time fantasy favourites.. it's business and it was a pretty easy call for me in the end.

On a side note, he signed a 5 year contract extension last year. Think Dogs might be regretting the length just quietly

Those big contracts seem to bring nothing but comfort for said players. Looks like it removes any drive for players that recognize the premiership window ain't open or have already tasted it.

Agree with you re Macrae's lost pace ...most clubs are seeking more pace in the midfield now, Libba's not quick .....hope the 5 year Contract doesn't bite the WB

Surely Smith has a greater role to play this year ?

For some, in other cases there's Luke Parkers who are just as driven as ever.

Smith should be the highest averaging Dog this year. There's better options than him though IMO

Sounds like I should definitely ditch Bont!

Bont would be elite for SC but always shits me in fantasy. Got him when he got FWD last year that's about it

 

[Milo Cyrus]

I'd say his premiership window is open.

 

[Frederico_WA]

Funny to see his name mentioned a bit here, but I've got Stocker in my draft side. Have loved his role so much I made this trade once it opened ...

I think Chesser will be unlucky and get dropped yhis week. JHF is a bit inconsistent to be a viable mid-price money maker.

Got $194k banked for next week.

Stocker is solid in that role but feels like JHF > Ziebell and do something else with the other trade and 180k would be stronger

Agree on the Ziebell vs JHF consideration.

 

[Frederico_WA]

Agree on the Ziebell vs JHF consideration.

As did I as soon as I read it.

Made the Ziebell change. Unused cash + Chesser to L.Jones (BE 34). Happy for Jones to be a solid 50 for me, and get the occasional 70-80 when a team lets him intercept unchecked.

 

[mehow2g]

I hate me a sideways trade but I'm thinking Neale > LDU, Calaghan > to setters.

Neale has been unlucky, got rolled first week second week the lights went out and ****ed with Lions momentum to junk, my only reason of consideration is Neales BE, thoughts?

 

[Frederico_WA]

Need to make those sidesteps when form dictates it AND you have the luxury of no forced trades.

I don't mind those trades at all. I want to get LDU next week if DeGoey is meh again.

 

[JADED]

Are there any decent rookie downgrades on the horizon.

When am I going to be able to downgrade any of these bench guys.

Van Rooyen maybe.
Odds on Chesser is off to the WAFL, so there's a HUGE downgrade.

 

[Barrybran]

Ok Big Footy, what do we think I should do here. I got a little too clever for myself in round 2 and traded in Brodie Uwland instead of the sensible trade that would have been Charlie Constable

. The result being I've got plenty of cash but very little flexibility in my defensive line. I want to jump on the Setterfield/Ziebell bandwagons this week like everyone else but I feel I have to get one defender into my side and possibly two, which limits my options.

JHF is my worst performing mid through two rounds and with the $412k I've got in the I can go JHF > Daicos straight up. I would have to give up Phillipou to get Chandler and probably Callaghan to get to Stocker. I'm not feeling that last option as I like Callaghan if he plays this week. I could go JHF/Chesser to Stocker/Constable which prioritises cash over points but I don't see Daicos getting any cheaper this season and while Constable's form warrants a couple more games, the Suns have defenders coming back soon.

Alternatively, I could just add one defender and play D6 roulette this week. I'd probably look at one of Daicos/Stocker/Constable with Setterfield. JHF/Chesser to Setterfield/Constable is an option, as is JHF/Uwland to Setterfield/Stocker.

Everyone is saying cash is king but my worst performer in this regard is Dunkley. I'm not convinced he's going 110-115 running around packs while Jarrod Berry

is getting his hands on the ball. McCluggage should also score better than he has as well. I also think JHF should be able to kick start his cash generation better than Dunkley can but everyone also says to not trade your premiums. If I did go down the Dunkley route I could pair him with Chesser to get Daicos/Stocker or even Daicos/Setterfield ($0 left for the last option with D6 roulette).

My gut feel says I need two defenders more than I need Setterfield so I have the flexibility to move defenders on if I need to (looking at you Hayden Young

Not too late to grab Constable (Assuming he's named). JHF into Constable gives you $559 to drop on another player.
If that's Chesser, then you have enough to get you any player under $780 (eg Ziebell or Setters)
If you bump out Phillipou instead then you can bring in Daicos.

 

[Phar Ace]

Gotta see if he finally puts Caleb Daniel in the ruck for the memes

It's laughable, however Bevo would find a justification if he did something like that. His own mind is his pleasure zone.

I’m rooting for Setterfield to miss this week Would allow me to get Naicos and Ziebell this week then Setters next.
