Trades 2025 Fantasy Round 2 Trades

I think Cerra was pretty solid.

Hollands got burnt a million times so hopefully bounces back. I'll give him one more or he's cut.

Day & Oliver both looked bloody ordinary imo. Day did his best Dawson impression while tagged & Oliver looks a bit washed, nowhere near as dynamic as prime Oliver.

Far worse picks for sure. Just feels a bit no mans land to me if they’re not top 8 and not making bank. Cerra needed a big score on us to kick him off but if he can go around 100 consistently he’ll be worth it. Jury is out tho

Day gone for me after next week with Bedford and bye after that. Oliver wouldn’t shock if he still averages 100 from here but no issues punting him if not

I am 12k short of
Taylor > SDK
Hastie > Hall
sigh

So looks like
Taylor > SDK
Garcia > Hall

Not heaps happy with that. If I went Hall over Hastie I could bring in Lindsay for Garcia and put Hall in his spot. Looks like I’ll have to wait another week on Lindsay which is gross. But should be an easy Day > Knevitt and Hastie to Lindsay next week

Meanwhile a Lindsay BE of -8 seems low for someone who just pumped out 94, even priced at a slightly inflated 360 that he's now at. In contrast, Taylor's BE after scoring 112 priced at the equivalent of like 580k was maybe -2 (factoring in his hidden price change after R0)?

Could be a watch this space, BE's might not be right yet.

Taylor was $528 - so valued a smidge over 50. Effectively had a 165, but averaged at about 82 over each of two games. So he's gone about 1.6 times over his 50, twice and still under his original value

Lindsay was valued at $310 - so valued about 30, so 64ish overs on a low of 30. Gone over his average by a factor of 2.0 times plus.

I can live with what AF has delivered I think.

Need to get rid of 1 of Ash, Perryman and Taylor.

Need to get one of SDK or Freijah.

Need to get one of Lindsay or Levi.

Any suggestions for priorities?

I'm in the same situation with Lindsay and Ashcroft and SDK and Freijah. The way I look at it is an issue is likely to come up (injuries, money, etc) so we need to decide if something happens and we can't get both, who would we rather have?

Right now I've gone SDK because I see higher upside and more chance of him being a real "premo". Freijah I'm spooked by the age. How many 19 year old 2nd year guys average 85-90+. Only the elite types.

On Lindsay vs Ashcroft - Lindsay has the lower BE but I have slightly more faith that Ashcroft scores more based off junior numbers and burns me more if I don't own him.

How can you be certain SDK is going to stay No.1 Ruck. Scott has already hinted there will be flexibility in the role. Conway training in the ruck during the week. And the downside with SDK is so much more. Yeah, Freijah may not be a smash, he may only average 70 or so over the next month if things go pear shaped. With SDK if he goes back to defence, this is what he's capable of punching out:

Conway is just not very good. SDK just had 25 disposals playing in the ruck and will smash Harry Boyd this week.

I'm not sure of the role, but I think it's a better bet than a 2nd year 19 year old who wasn't an elite junior.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

What do we reckon, do I trade Sanders out for Simpkin or Rankine? Simpkin was good but will he put up consistent numbers like Rankine is expected to?

Rankine ....and close the book

As devils advocate - when have Geelong ever cared about having a good ruckman?

I think the fact he impacted around the ground will be of most interest to Scott. As long as he's doing that I think it will be fine.

I think that comment around throwing a different look is exactly what we are seeing with him taking most CBAs but not rucking the forward or backline

 

[forlols]

What’s more of a priority:

Perryman > freijah
Or
Stone > Hall

Not to make life any harder, but Freijah has looked like a gun from the moment he has come in. I agree about the ceiling but personally I think he can get around the 80-90s pretty consistently.

But I would go with SDK for role/BE at this stage.

 

[Barnzy]

You make fair points. But I'm set on SDK.

He has a 19 BE. One more really big game and his price is getting to the point where it's escaping you for the confidence on the role.

Freijah BE of 40 so easier to have another look at him. My tentative plan is to get him next week unless Perryman proves he can stay

 

[kozi]

Rankine ....and close the book

Should be top 6. Hopefully be my get for Sanders next week

Only worry was he needed 2 goals for a 107 against witches hats.. in the Callaghan boat of more of a SC player. But I’m confident he can still get it done for what we need in fantasy. Nicks wants to use him heavy in the midfield where he averaged 95 last year when he had just 40% + CBAs. Should see a rise there

Wasn't Rankine priced at 79 ? .....so far that's 30 pts of upside ....and he had 37% CBA's

Expect that CBA number to increase by another 10% s the season progresses

 

[stallon]

Sorry it has to be 1 of Taylor, Ash and Perryman. Because my 2nd trade is Hastie -> Levi or Lindsay.

I’d like to do Taylor -> Freijah but the issue is it doesn’t leave me enough $ to upgrade Hastie to one of those 2 rooks. So I’d have to do Taylor -> SDK.

I can afford it if I dump one of Perryman or Ash -> Freijah.

So should I just hold Taylor for a week because his price won’t change at least?

yeah im happy to hold Taylor for a week

 

[Decimation]

How does this look?

He’s a thoroughbred should have trusted my eye and just started him.
Easy in for hack Perryman

 

[WaynesWorld19]

yeah im happy to hold Taylor for a week

On his Bye ?? ...seems a wasted opportunity

 

[amazingjoshy]

Get both Lindsay and Ashcroft but run the risk of holding Taylor through his bye and not copping any injury to stop me trading him out next week

Or

Trade Taylor to SDK and choose one of Ashcroft or Lindsay

GEEL poster reckons it'll be a mid-season return for Conway .....if we see SDK's role change, we parachute

 

[Corkintheocean]

Also found the tweet that FlowersByIrene was referencing

FTFH: Selby doesn't have the passion to login and make his trades again.

If youve gotta trade out other players to make your trades work then where is this wasted opportunity?

I wouldnt hold him if you had nothing else to do

Lindsay has North
Ashcrot has Eagles
SDK has Boyd into McInerney and Gawn

SDK could see a big drop off in points from r3 onwards, potentially Stanley to come in to assist him too against the stronger ruckmen

Id just take the rookies

SDK was playing against an utter potato in Reidy too

From here on in he’s playing actual ruckmen
