Trades 2025 Fantasy Round 3 Trades

[FlowersByIrene]

Was already looking at Prior to Bice next week. Would be nice if he could get one more.

Did SEH train as a wing in PS?

Yep, almost exclusively wing I understood

 

[Exambolor]

I reckon the Garcia question mark will be the most crucial this weekend, Saints play too late to pivot....

I've got Hall and Stone as backups but who knows with them, so I've restructured my trades to bring in Dewar for him as he'll be safe, but it leaves me with only the Richards, Powell, Finn types to replace Day, all should score fine enough and it means I hold Crippa

 

[amazingjoshy]

El-Hawli to debut, probably means Prior gone you’d think

He had 10 touches and a 50 AF score in the VFL last week. Was he on limited mins?

 

[Uptipp]

Having splitting a few trade options
I currently have Lindsay/Ashcroft on the bench, with Day the only mid I could even consider trading out to make space. SDK is at D6 sorting by price, but my fwd line is very shallow with Smith Macrae and Daniel followed by rookies, which I am ok with for now as I think there isnt a lot of value above 600k in the fwd line.
Have about 500k cash

Essentially these are what im sitting with:
First one leaves me with basically no cash left, and I dont get Lindsay/Ashcroft both on field which isnt good, but I get Dawson(or some other top mid premo)
View attachment 2261297

Second one is just a couple of different premo options to get in, same issue with one of Lindsay/Ashcroft on the bench though
View attachment 2261298

3rd one is getting a fwd instead of a mid.
I like this less because im getting Rankine who im still not 100% is value, BUT it gets both the fieldable mid rookies on field which is better for my structure and best 18, also leaves me with 200k for next week. Im a bit wary of Crows players being a bit inflated, as they have had 2 junk games so far.
Could also go Whitfield or something over NWM but not super keen on Whitfield over other defenders.
200k could be really handy next week naturally

I think the Rankine scenario is the vanilla obvious one to pick, but keen for any thoughts?

I reckon 2 looks the most balanced with better upside too

Bit of a disaster in round 2 with Finlayson, Smith and Flynn (R2) not named, and just to exacerbate things, my replacement for Finlayson in Rankine gets subbed at 3/4 time. Had all of Ash, Callaghan, Flynn and Smith riding the pine. Scored a paltry 1650 which has left me with a 40k ranking, not very likely to come back from there, but I'll give it a crack as the team doesn't look too bad on paper (pity it's toilet paper)

Last weeks trades:

Taylor > Lashcroft
Finlayson > Rankine

This week, pending teams, which I hope don't deliver the carnage I copped last week.

Day > El-Hawli
Flynn > Roma

Next week:
Wicks > Bice/Day-Wicks
Peatling > Neale

 

[Corkintheocean]

Same boat for me. I think I’m going to go Sinclair due to DPP which is not typically something I’d use to differentiate picks, but I would rather play Bice on field next week and for a bit longer after that, compared to an additional rookie like Lalor/FOS on field in my case.

The DPP is a good point and not something I'd in my considerations as I weigh up NWM & Sinc this week. I'm leaning Sinclair as I think at some stage NWM might start copping a bit more attention where as Sinclair appears to have the Dawson 'Wherever I may roam' role which is more suitable for a ceiling score against Richmond this week.

 

[Zevon]

Smashing open the war chest:

D.Cameron -> Marshall
FOS -> Farrell via DPP

FOS is guaranteed to become rookie of the year now I'm dumping him. You’re all welcome.

Thanks Zev!

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

How are people splitting Powell v Soligo? I'm personally finding it very hard.

Both have decent draws and similar roles, perhaps North has a tighter mid mix than Adelaide but there's potentially question marks over Powell's role as Wardlaw returns.

Soligo's got a better bye and slightly lower breakeven which may swing it for me. But still seeing a lot of people leaning Powell.

go with the better BYE if you got a lot of R11 players imo. Round 15 for soligo is really nice.

personally i have powell but i was tossing up between TDK and Marshall this week and im going Marshall cause of the better bye.

 

[Gumby2Hurley]

would rather it be shiel thx

 

[Shaunn]

I reckon theirs gonna be ALOT of rookie possible outs this week, Prior/Reid/Trainor/Campo just to name a few.

Just when we need them.

 

[dplggr47]

I'm not doing as bad as this time last year, but I feel like my team is a lot worse. Can't trust the rookies. Was going to go Knevitt, but not sure of his JS in midfield. Lalor is a 60s kind of guy. Campo could be dropped any week. Reid looks to be going back to that early red dot that he was last year. So many new rookies look to be named soon, but none were great scorers in the preseason.

I just need a guarantee that Sid Draper won't be named sub, so I can jump on, but who knows. Crows must be the only side that would have a new draftee play every game as sub to 'ease' them into AFL footy.

 

[Freo_4eva]

Stuck with what to do this week.

FOS>Lindsay probably

but no idea what to do with the other one (with pretty much no coin until Prior>Bice next week)

Im wary of any crows player tbh, theyve had 2 easy games with inflated scores

 

[stallon]

I’m in the same situation, I really want Dawson but leaves me with no cash.

But I think he is better and more consistent than the other options. Not convinced on Rankine and Tom Green is pretty hot and cold.

It’s a tough one, think I’m going to end up with Dawson because I think he just looks so good and will need to get him at some point.

Yeah was probably going to just do the Dawson one haha, it feels safer, and just suffer with Ashcroft/Lindsay on the pine unless something in teams changes my mind

 

[SM]

Starting to lose my nerve about getting Dawson in instead of one of Lashcroft or Lindsay. But if I get both I'll have $750k in the bank AND still have Ash and Perryman to sort out next week PLUS whatever rookie carnage we cop with Prior/Reid/etc.

I guess in a Best 18 better to store the cash and launch into some upgrades next week for Perryman and Ash.

 

[wahooo]

go with the better BYE if you got a lot of R11 players imo. Round 15 for soligo is really nice.

personally i have powell but i was tossing up between TDK and Marshall this week and im going Marshall cause of the better bye.

Including Powell I would have the 9 on that bye, so it's not unmanageable.

That includes guys like Freijah, Cerra, FOS, TDK and Sanders who I might move on prior to their byes.

Im wary of any crows player tbh, theyve had 2 easy games with inflated scores

Yeah, I'm also mindful that North no longer appear to be the fantasy friendly match up they once were.

I think I'm leaning towards Powell. Feels less risky with the slightly higher (albeit still very low) ownership.

Grosssssssss

 

[bettingonbetts]

Do we think getting off rookies that are dropped for eg. Campo, Reid, Trainor (just predictions) are more important than trading a Garcia?
Obviously hard to determine but I’m assuming he may play a full game with injuries at saints

Expect a full game from Garcia unless we hear different

I think the value options look the go this week midfield wise

Powell, Richards, Callaghan the standout options I think

Would love to find a way to get up to the Green types though

 

[Exambolor]

Which is why I’m likely holding, especially with no Hunter Clark

I have all of Stone, Hall and Garcia at F6-8 so can field one of them, not all of them can be sub obviously so one will play a full game… handy that they both play on the same timeslot too

 

[SM]

Hope it means Hastie back in.

 

[Exambolor]

Hope it means Hastie back in.

However, Boxshall and Travaligia could play this week and be rewarded for VFL performances apparently
