Minor dilemma for me. I have Scott Thompson, Jake Edwards and Lachlan Hansen in my defense and not one of them has been named. I was hoping at least 1 of these would become a permanent starter with the other 2 getting regular games as well but it looks unlikely.


Do you think I should make a sideways trade one of these guys for Pfeiffer or a Harry Taylor?

Id wait a week. Pfieffer looks like being the best value rookie back, but he still has two weeks before his price increase. Cop the 0, assess at the end of the round.
 
Hmmm good point!! Think i'll let Hill slide.

Here is my team:

BACKS:
C. Cornes
J. Bowden
H. Shaw
B. Waters (Milburn)
D. Mundy (Birchall)
B. Symes
A. Proud
------
D. Pfeiffer
S. Thompson (Hansen)

MIDFIELD:
D. Cross
A. Goodes
N. Stevens
B. Houli (Dyson)
C. Morton
R. Palmer
------
B. Ebert (N.Jones)
C. Bird

RUCKS:
D. Cox
T. Simmonds
------
M. Kreuzer (Carteledge)
J. Meesen

FORWARDS:

B. Johnson
M. Pavlich
N. Reiwoldt (Deledio)
J. Brown
B. Hall (Hill)
J. Porplyzia
C. Rioli
------
R. Gamble (Morton)
K. Tippet

My midfield is where I will be looking to make use of cash from cows :)

Very close to my team as well! Especially the midfield. I have a very generic team. Some might say we have 9 players different, but we've started with the same gun players.
 
As you are an Adelaide supporter Flackjack, do you think Tippett will play this weekend...? It has been reported he has some bruising, do you think he'll line-up as he is named on Adelaide's extended bench...?

Ok little help please.
Need 1 starter in my backs from the following - Proud or S.Selwood:confused:
Need 2 starters from the following in the mids. - Jack , Houli , Geary & Lonergan.
Need 2 starters from the following for the forwards - Rioli , Gamble , Hill & Tippett.

Cheers.

I am only basing this on news reports and stuff I've read on the AFL website, but I'd say he will play for all it's worth. Surely you have a better option than starting him on the field though?

I don't have him on my field for what it's worth, just wondering if he'll line-up this week because I'm thinking of getting Hill into my squad so he can make me some quick cash...

1 - Proud. tough choice though
2 - Houli and Geary
3 - Rioli and Hill
 
would love thoughts on this trade....

Kossie to Hill
Schammer to J.Corey

not the kind to jump off players to quickly but i think that fact that kossie wont be getting time in the middle this year as the saints have bought gardiner and king in will affect his numbers.

cheers in advance
 
I'm wondering what the better trade is:

Corrie ---> Hill

Corrie ----> Porplyzia

First one will make me 100k

Second one will cost me 50k

Thoughts?

depends on the strength of your forward line....

if its weak then getting porpz in is probably a good move, but if you have another area of your team; one perhaps where you are fielding 1 or 2 rookies then freeing up the cash could well be worth it...
 
I have already used one trade this year.
I have enough money to upgrade P Burgoyne to C Cornes
IS IT A SMART MOVE

Without knowing the rest of your team I like both of these trades:thumbsu:
 
To people that have Trent West from Geelong in their DT, are you people considering trading him down to a rookie ruck (Joel Tippett maybe) once he has played his 3 games this weekend...? Ottens will be back next week from my knowledge (Was just resting him this week, taking a slow approach) and won't get another sniff all year barring injuries...He'll be about $100k after this round from the new price calculator on DT talk, so downgrading him to a rookie at 72k, will give you an extra $28k to play around with...Thoughts...?

no, no, never! Cash cows should be making you 100k. 28k is simply not worth a trade.

Don't know if using a trade like that would be worth $28k:confused:
Thats just my opinion though;)

GS is that trade a joke or something? First of all Ottens could be out for much longer than first expected, and whats the point of making a trade to make 28k for a player that probably wont play all year...

I didn't really take much notice of price flunctuations last year guys, as it was my first year, I got the Newbie blues...Ottens out for much longer than expected...? I thought he was due back this week, but they took the conservative approach and didn't want to take the risk of doing anything major..? Anyway, forget I said anything...

Definitely not, ruckmen are pretty ordinary cash cows anyways. If Ottens was out for longer and West's scores improved to the point he goes up about $100k then it might be worth it...

On the news they said Ottens hasn't started running since his injury, and the club said they didnt know when he would be back, which is never a good sign
