[evo]

Trading Martin out after round 1 is the single dumbest thing I ve ever done.

Sunday night he is straight back in.

Could someone kindly tell me how much Martin will be after last nights score of 133?

I'm purely guessing off the SC site .....$530K-$535K

I’ve roughly calculated $534,200k or thereabouts.

Gee going to be a few eating some HUMBLE pie for jumping off the great man Martin.

While I am sitting here letting the cows out to the top paddock for another week of pure fattening on the green pastures.

Will he get FWD DPP?

Need someone who has access to heat maps. And % of time spent in each area. Can’t believe these aren’t available. Doubt he will have spent 36% time in the forward half tho.

 

[Jiska]

Fisher to JHF
Windsor to Hollands (if he backs it up)

Will unfortunately mean benching Sanders and McKercher for two Best 18 weeks but DPP changes after that will fix that up.

If Wines misses again, and Reid spuds again, and Hollands does well today, I'll be pretty tempted to go

Wines + Reid > JHF + Hollands

Both ins potentially end up as DPP forwards, meaning my forward line would be done pretty much.

Every year we say the same thing. Don’t trade after one game unless it’s injury based.

TooSerious won’t work until after this round. Needs three rounds of data.

Looks like everyone will be cheering his SC scores next week instead of bagging them

I’m convinced that 40 trades is making everyone worse at this game.

People are shuffling the deck chairs chasing the points from the previous weeks and ignoring why they picked players in the first place. Guys like Young and Martin are great examples.

I’ve made 5 trades and I’m not sure my team is any better.

The good teams will have been the ones who have backed their choices, let their rookies get plump (not wasting 2 trades making $40k on Thomas Berry

This board would be very boring if we didnt have the rage traders.

here for it.

This is the way!

Most important thing in SC is to identify who is getting the KOTD and trade them in asap.

Agree completely. Then I look at my side and I'm thinking about downgrading Grundy next round haha. I am rethinking that though. I have kept Martin, young and Fisher. Only expensive player I've traded out is Newcombe.

I think people have over adjusted just a little bit. It's all good to jump on the in form players but I don't think anyone should be aiming to jump on midpriced players for 2-3 rounds or drop guns like Naicos for a couple rounds. Those trades absolutely can work but they can also go pear shaped.

The main issue I have is not the trade itself but the opportunity cost. Locking yourself into a trade down the track may end up looking good on paper but what have you missed?

Early on (prior to price changes) the opportunity cost is potentially less so it makes sense to be somewhat aggressive but it's also important to look at the players role/the eye test because it's easy for a player to have a gun 2 rounds or 2 crap rounds and the scores can be deceptive.

Im not trying to be holier than thou but Martin is a good example of having the right role but not delivering. Now obviously that can go two ways, maybe he isn't suited to that role or maybe the scores aren't as concerning because they are the exception rather than the rule.

Anyway, there are many ways to play this game and I do think it's good to be aggressive but trading recklessly seems to have become a bit too common. I think you should always look medium to long term with the vast majority of trades. There will be exceptions but focussing on just a 3 week period and planning to roughy players in and out is the wrong way to approach it IMO

Couldn’t possibly agree with you any more than I do, mate.
