Trades 2024 Round 7 Trades

[Lolaser]

Did some work on projections and planned trades. Welcome any input anyone has.

This is my team after I do Williams and Sanders to Macrae and Garcia:

I've done some future planning of trades to map out the next few weeks and I think this is where I am out (projections largely based on slightly lower than averages adjusted for subs and injuries):

This would give me Bont, Green and English over the next three weeks and also have me culling rookies at the right time. Obviously a ton to play out and depending on rookie scores, a lot can change (as we saw this week with Mass and Williams). However, I like to try and map things out to make sure my upgrade cadence is good and I'll have enough cash to get all the players I want.

One thing I could see changing is if Meek throws in a spike score, I'll probably hold him and look to get a Serong for bye structure.

A few thoughts in general:

1. These trade plans would leave me with 17 trades and only one spot left to upgrade (2 if Harley's last two weeks are a spike and he isn't a keeper). I'm pretty happy with this as I'll need to bye flip Crouch and probably Noah "I'm a sinking ship get me out here" Anderson.
2. I'll then be able to complete the last upgrade with 15 trades left leading into R11. Which means I'll be able to trade 3 times in every bye and use it balance luxury upgrades ensuring I can field a strong team every week. Don't think I'll need them all, but comfortable coming out the end with 6 injury trades.
   
   
3. The next bit of SC work is to plan out the bye plan, potential flips etc, and ensure the rookies are lining up to get a strong on field team each week. I came 10th overall over the four bye weeks last year and it was a huge reason I did so well.
   
   
4. No Walsh scares me.
   
   
5. Realising I have potential luxury trades makes me more likely to flip Stewart to get Walsh. However, that would mean I won't be able to boost the next two weeks to get Bont and two other premiums.
   
   
6. I'll strongly consider getting McAullife this week, as aside from Garcia, there are basically no rookies on one game coming into this week that I like. So I might just have to take the risk (plus he has the best bye for rookies).

Biggies a spud consider yourselves warned guys.
I won't be repeating it all week. If you don't read the thread it's on you.

 

[dabombers]

We are on the same ship - how's your team shaping up.

Care to post it?

Posted def and Mids above.

Plan was always to leave fwds as last line to upgrade as I have noticed a trend of fwds rarely going above 600k into the byes and this year I wanted to have a good look at what was going to happen post DPP changes, more in hope of a Trac or Bont getting fwd status which was about 1000 to 1 odds.

Team as it stands after this weeks trades locked in.




Fwds are horrible. And will cost me short term. Have no Idea who to target and regretting not starting Flanders and Gawn so:
Need Gawn then deal with Jackson.
Leaving room in Def for Stewart and ??? Unknown as yet.
Last 2 Mid spot targets will be Trac then whoever has best fixture or price out of Serong, Touk, Rowell or maybe a POD.

Your team look really good, especially the midfield, as I was scrolling down... until the fwd line - you've got some work to do there mate!

Hmmm, I'm on the get the spuds out Strategy this year, don't like watching em **** em off, no one is safe, don't perform /about to lose money GTFO.

Has worked wonders

Got Gawned first round, but have moved up every week since, even thou I've been so dumb in so many ways. 80k to 27k now and I have my latest brain wave in effect from this week, should be a masterstoke.

Been fun thou, VC Mckay RND 1, C Ryan and VC a few weeks, I nearly/so close to OMG.

So happy not having to care about Martins/Youngs spud ability's- Good SC-don't care, It's all about the enjoyment factor

One of these days one of my Lunacys will pay off, gotta keep trying thou and no use doing what every one else is doing if you want to catch up.

And did one thing right this year, NO North spuds, Sheezel only.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Can't wait for all you campaigners to trade in Dawson even though Crouch is returning and then Dawson goes on to score a 79.

 

[buttox]

Can't wait for all you campaigners to trade in Dawson even though Crouch is returning and Dawson scores an 89.

I will watch for another week. I might get him next week if he goes well.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Yeah you definitely need to wait another week on Dawson mate. Way too risky to bring him in this week with Crouch returning imo.

I wished you've told me earlier - I went for all North spuds, and no Sheezel - yikes, that really hurt me all season!

Yeah, I even manfully resisted the Powell FOMO (?). thankfully-my D/F and apart from Rnd 1 R been good- Mids is crap but have a game winner in there now

Ideas for Trades this week

82k in kitty - 26 trades left

I'm playing one sort this week cause I'm not trading Stewart

 

[Kadog]

Laird started off a decent POD but TOG% and role concerns me now. Leaking point. Looking at one of the following trades assuming both zwilliams & Mass are good to go.

Sharp>McAuliffe
Dempsey>Macrae
Laird>Rowell


Or…

Sharp>McAuliffe
Dempsey>Zorko
Laird>Flanders


Basically it’s a Macrae/Rowell vs Zorko/Flanders call. Both have their risk with Macrae (Bevo) and Zorko 35yo with injury risk.

Which would be the better option?…or open to other suggestions

 

[Quazza]

Williams to Walsh
Sanders to Garcia
Meek to a sp mid.

4k short of this with Meek turning into Heeney. If i replace Williams with Mass though, can do it. So would be

Mass >Walsh
Meek > Heeney
Sanders > Garcia

Thoughts pending Williams selection?

 

[dabombers]

Yeah you definitely need to wait another week on Dawson mate. Way too risky to bring him in this week with Crouch returning imo.

So lets get a poll or side bet going!!
What is the odds Judd_Magic has already traded in Dawson.
I reckon $1.10 for the win.

Your team look really good, especially the midfield, as I was scrolling down... until the fwd line - you've got some work to do there mate!

JuddgementDay i did say it was a shower show up forward!!
I was going to say “ No shower Sherlock” but can’t afford another few weeks in the naughty corner. Especially this time of the season. When all input is good.

Fwds are easily fixed over 3 rounds.

I want to keep some bench DPP flexibility post byes for injury coverage and fixture fixing.
So my trade out targets are then limited and not fully ripe yet.

Can see 2 rounds of no trades pre byes if no viable downgrade targets are on the bubble.

Solid if you have cover for ZWilliams

 

[kenneyswarriors]

Are people dumping Sharp cause he's made his cash/maxed out ?
Or is there something else I've missed ?

 

[kenneyswarriors]

I wished you've told me earlier - I went for all North spuds, and no Sheezel - yikes, that really hurt me all season!

(Xerri excluded)

Wish I started Sheeze, but all good, spud number 7, Zilliams dumped for him 3/4 weeks ago.

Nah no Dawson for me mate, I'm not touching him.

 

[Faz 2000]

Yep, done his job

 

[Scythe94]

BE up to 72, so pretty close to maxed since he's only exceeded that score once. That, and Walsh's BE is 33 – would cost me more making that trade next week or the week after.

 

[Choppers]

Thoughts please ..

Jessie Hogan (suspended) down to Hugo Garcia (on the bubble)

Sanders (Bevo factor) up to either Bontempelli (ultimate must have - is now the time?) or Eroll Gulden (who may still win the Brownlow)

Yes! he may win the Brownlow.......but that doesn't mean f*ck all, if he doesn't score ultra Premo in SC...stop confusing AFL rewards with SC rewards.....

 

[kenneyswarriors]

LOL, and Uh Veer Right , my masterstroke (I can call it that till evidence to the contrary)

Isn't just our 2 trade in's this week.

Trying to have at least some stability, and figure Carlton mids will score about the same combined total each week, with the players individual scores, varying week to week- so have grouped them ( intrigued if this will work, but going to find out)
Already have Hewett- Started him as reckoned he had his body/mind in right place if he tackles 10 times in a preseason game-been good.

And Cripps looks as good, if not better than I've ever seen him.

 

[kenneyswarriors]

Yeah, I need him on field for another week or 2, at least he can play and doesn't seem to be as much of a sub risk as most other rookies.

 

[kyri]

want to grab a 15th premo in one of the fallen stars of dawson, macrae or LDU.

was eyeing off dawson all preseason, along with LDU. theyre both ripe for the picking. but both playing for shite teams.

macrae has the advantage of being a fwd. dawson is still one of the best players in the league. ldu is a proven gun, but i havnt seen enough of him this year.

leaning towards dawson at the moment. would make it even sweeter if it pays off, knowing most of the braint trust owners here ditched him.

Rowell, Butters, Serong, Miller or even Houston all cheaper than Heeney - you have options
