Completed teams

[Kadog]

Andrew i've tried every permeation, IF Kelly is the best sideways trade ......if i retain Doedee and trade 1 of Austin/Cole .....then i have 16 players, if McLean doesn't come up

I traded Fogarty rather than Austin

Play the long game & trade for the team you want for the home stretch. Don’t let rd14 determine that. 16 worst case scenario is ok.

 

[Goody1971]

DEF: Yeo, Simpson, Sicily, Howe, Hurn, Tuohy (Duman, Heron)
MID: Fyfe, Titch, Oliver, Treloar, Cripps, Parker, Coniglio, Martin (Phillips, Ahern, Giro)
RUCK: Gawn, Jacobs (Olango)
FWD: Gray, McLean, DSmith, Boak, Fritsch, Dahlhaus (Spargo, TSmith)

Not the greatest but pretty much completed. DEF bench cover is dubious and F4-6 pretty lousy. Jacobs has been shite but has improved the past 3 weeks so hopefully can keep it going.

8 trades and $32k left - hopefully enough to bring in Heeney soon

This might be one of those times where you are better off playing 1-2 short for 1 round to have a much stronger team for the remaining 9 rounds.

Yes, certainly a consideration .....but how do i get Kelly, McD & retain Doedee

I don't believe you're in a position trade wise to get both Jelly & McDonald. You already have 9 premo mids and are 2 premo defs and 1 fwd premo short. Macrae trade needs to be to a Fwd premo (Fog to mid bench) that forward could be TMac I suppose. You could upgrade Cole to the best available with the left over cash. Hurley if you have enough.

You need to forget that plan due to lack of trades, go for a cash grab and get Rockliff to M8.
Then trade Zorko ( or under performing mid) and use the cashola to upgrade Cole and use left over cash to upgrade Fritzel when if/he drops.
Then hold your balls nice and firm for the carnage we all await.

That is an option .....trade down Macrae & make Rocky M8, rather than M9

Might have to be the compromise i have to make now

Thanks guys ....some really useful feedback Andrew Birch & Hai_Newman

I'll take it all on board

Or trade Rocky, doesn't matter just keep the one you think will finish strongest.

 

[Andrewy]

They're good trades, but I still would like to see your pre-trades team.

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Def: Laird, Hurn, McGov, Sicily, Lloyd, Savage (Austin, Miochek)
Mid: Titch, Fyfe, Crouch, Dusty, Cripps, Cogs, Shiel, Danger (Giro, Ahern, J.Smith)
Ruck: Gawn, Goldy (Olango)
Fwd: Walters, Gray, Franklin, Smith, McClean, DeGoey (Fritsch, Guelfi)

Reasonable fwd bench coverage, ok in the mids, def a bit light.

Praying for a good run with injuries for the rest of the year. Or at least till Round 20 and then maybe look to make some upgrades

I haven't a choice there .....Macrae has to go

To preserve trades you can just do:
Macrae>Tmac (via Fog via Murphy)
Dooday>Hurley.

Full team with Rocky M8 Fritsch F6.

Still leaves me as i am now ....1 more trade, but with Cole still at F6?

Guyss, we better get these conversations over to the trade thread .....i didn't realise, when i was responding?

No Cole is D7.

Me too.

If we all put our trading brains together then maybe we can get Waynesworld a decent M8 and D6.

Rocky wont be the worst M8 going around.

Something keeps telling me that Rocky is going to kill it from this point onward...

Pre trades


Macrae>Tmac (Fog to mids. Murphy fwd)
Dooday>Hurley (D6)

Completes backline. Cole D7
Rocky M8
Fritz F6
Ahern M9/F7

Wayne's-World Could also propose ballsy trade which gets you all wanted players:

Macrae>Wingard (via Fog)
Dusty>Jkelly
Doeday or Fritsch>Tmac

I FN hope so. Would love to see him go huge in the second half of the year like he has previously done. He’s likely going to end up my M8.

Great draw with lots of home games are a positive you’d think.

Then there’s the burn....
