DT Trading Discussion 2010 (Part 6)

[Debating Society]

Hey guys

Just wanted some advice on where to next with my side, Im thinking Zeibell to TDL but not 100% sure if he is in, but then again its no big deal as Zeibell is injured anyway

TDL isn't in as per AFL website.
Why do you have McNeil on your bench and no MPP midfielder?

Agree.

Why?

 

[IDIG]

Time to jump on Reiwoldt? Looked very decent tonight and had quite a few 'almost' marks.

 

[jet66]

4 trades left, $66,400 in the bank, out of CAR contention, top 4 in league assured.

thinking of bringing in Riewoldt nxt week for someone in my FWDs.

here's my FWD line.

O'Keefe, Pavlich, Didak, Giansiracusa, Rioli, Podsiadly, Brown

Bench: Hughes, McNeil

and Chapman in the midfield.

Worth the trade???

 

[The Spornstar]

Time to jump on Reiwoldt? Looked very decent tonight and had quite a few 'almost' marks.

You could, or maybe wait another week. He still has a moderately tough BE of 102. Bring him in first week of DT finals, that's what I aim to do if he looks pretty good next week.

You could, or maybe wait another week. He still has a moderately tough BE of 102. Bring him in first week of DT finals, that's what I aim to do if he looks pretty good next week.

His BE is 87 which he should achieve this week against the Bombers under the lid. At 340K I don't think he'll ever be this cheap again. I'm bringing him in this week, my dilemma is who out of Betts, Pods and JB to offload for him.

 

[Squall]

Looking for thoughts on sideways trade of O'Keefe to Riewoldt?
Highly considering it even though this will leave me with only 2 trades left for finals.

Reasons for doing the trade:

Ryan O'Keefe scores are poor against top 8 teams this year besides his round 1 game against St Kilda.

All of the swans remaining games are against teams in the top 6.

All of the saints remaining games are against bottom 8 teams.

This is the cheapest Riewoldt will most likely be, while O'Keefe will drop again with a high BE.

Can not afford to trade Pods or Brown for Riewoldt, i'm $10-15k short.

According to fanfooty his BE is 102, and according to footywire it's 97. Not sure who to believe - where did you get 87 from?
If it is 87 then I will prob bring him in this weekend, if it's 102 or 97 I might wait another week depending on what other trades I need to do this week.

ps if I were you I would offload Betts or Pods - I think Brown might have it in him to start to pull some better scores.

 

[FromDaics2Dids]

Here's what i am thinking, i am currently top of 2 out of three leagues, i need some advice on what i should do.

Team:

GODDARD, HODGE, ENRIGHT, CARRAZZO, SHAW, BROUGHTON, WATERS (Web, Hams)

SWAN, MONTAGNA, PENDLES, HAYES, SELWOOD, MITCHELL ( Armstrong, Gysberts )

SANDI, JOLLY ( Warnock, Bass )

CHAPPY, PAV, DIDAK, GIA, OKEEFE, PODS, BROWN ( Rockliff, Gumby )

5 trades and 50 k in bank.

Option 2)
Heres where i am stuck, i am wanting to downgrade either Armstrong to McNiel which will give me 4 trades and $189k for finals. I would also be able have the DP switch if a Mid got rested in either of the finals. But wouldnt have alot of money to upgrade say Waters, Pods/Brown, and i was thinking of sideways with Mitchell > Ablett mabye depending if i have the trade left and assuming i make the GF.

OR
Option 1)
Dont trade Armstrong, and go Rockliff > $77k rookie and have 4 trades and $341 K for finals, i would loose the DP with McNeil and cover in Rockliff or whoever i choose on my bench, but would have Gumby covering forwards, and i would have alot more money to do say upgrades, like Waters > Lake , Pods > Franklin, Brown > Goodes, and Mitchell to > Ablett / Boyd.

What are peoples thoughts, option one = More security, less money, option 2 = more cash.

I am expecting some players to be rested so i may not be able to do all of these trades, but what option would you go?

 

[toptigers]

Am thinking of trading Pods out, the main option would be Chapman, but a little worried on whether he will be rested and Henderson is the only downgrade that I can do to afford it. My team is the following with 7 trades and $3,500 left:

Hodge, Goddard, Gilbert, Malceski, Enright, Waters, Shaw (Henderson, Webberley)
Swan, Ablett, Montagna, Bartel, Hayes, Selwood (JKT, Shuey)
Sandilands, Ryder (Warnock, Lobbe)
Pavlich, Didak, Harvey, Giansiracusa, O Keefe, Franklin, Pods (Gumbleton, Hughes)

To upgrade to Chapman this week would need to dowgrade Henderson, or I could downgrade Webberley and JKT/Shuey to McNeil this week and then upgrade Pods to Chapman next week. Thoughts?

 

[jayfaux]

2 trades left, only $31k in the bank.

Hodge, Goddard, Malceski, Enright, Harbrow, Shaw, Webberley (Roberton, T Hunt)
Ablett, Swan, Bartel, Gibbs, Dal Santo, Watson (Shuey, JKT)
Sandlilands, Cox (Warnock, $77ker)
Chapman, Goodes, Pavlich, Harvey, Gia, ROK, Pods (Playfair, TDL)

I've locked down a top 4 finish but I'll need luck to get much further than that.

My thoughts are trade Shuey for McNeil (to enable DPP for Chappy, Goodes, Harvey, ROK in case there's a withdrawal), and then save the last trade for either an injury in finals or, if the DT Gods smile on me, an upgrade for Webberley/Roberton, whoever is worth more at that stage.

I can't really see anything else I can do. I've know really stuffed my team in terms of amount of trades left and bench cover (first year doing DT), but I'd appreciate any thoughts as to what I could do next.

Thoughts?

That's a tough one. It would be out of Betts and Pods for me. If it were me i'd be more inclined to get rid of Pods as weird as it may sound. You'd think he'll be taking a week or two off some time and seeing every man and his dog has him, if he misses a few or his form is a bit dodgy you could gain quite a bit from the trade.

Obviously the flip side of the coin is always a possibility

I've got 3 left and can do a straight swap of Hall to Reiwoldt. This then leaves me with 2 for the rest of the year. I'm going for overall rank more than anything else (currently 1000 or thereabouts) so will the points now outweigh the possibility of lti's later? Thoughts?

I would definitely hold off on the trade. Trading McNeil in doesn't make sense unless you have a confirmed out. Otherwise it's using a trade which you may never need to use.

 

[Magic33]

Here's my underperforming team, looking for as much help with it as I can get!

Backs: Hodge, Gilbert, Enright, Carrazzo, Waters, Hargrave, HShaw (Kenelly, Strijk)

Mids: Swan, Montagna, Bartel, Gibbs, Dal Santo, Mitchell (Martin, Shuey)

Rucks: Sandi, Jolly (Warnock, Lobbe)

Fwds: Goodes, Pav, ROK, Gia, Rioli, Pods, Brown (PDavis, Griffiths)


I have 5 trades and 85K in the kitty.
Thinking about Pods to Riewoldt this week - would love anyone to talk me into it or out of it (or offer any other suggestions!)
Thanks in advance!

 

[jungleboy_george]

Hey guys... also having a dilemma over who to take out for Riewoldt this week. Very worried about Pods (getting tired) and O'Keefe (playing for Sydney!)...

Also not sure how to use my remaining trades... thinking about a backline upgrade or two... and also worried about no midfield cover... help please!

Have 4 trades and $279K remaining. My current team is as follows:

Hodge, Goddard, Malcieski, Kelly, Kennelly, Maguire, Gram (Webberley, Smith)
Swan, Montagna, Ablett, Chapman, Bartel, Cooney (Shuey, JKT)
Sandilands, Naitanui (Warnock, Lobbe)
Pavlich, Didak, O'Keefe, Rockliff, Franklin, Podsiadly, Brown (Gumbleton, Davis)

With 4 trades left i wouldn't be trading out Pods or O'Keefe. Pods will only miss 1 game you would think unless there is something they are not telling us.

A better use of a trade is to upgrade Kennelly or Maguire to a gun. Gilbert will come down in price a fair bit over the next couple of weeks and could be a good option (if St Kilda don't start resting players). Maybe sit on your trades for another week and use them in Wk 1 of finals, if your aim is a league win.

I'd get rid or Nic Nat for a decent ruck.

Your bench cover is solid except mids where you have DP coverage from the forwards anyway so you should avoid zeros from here in so I would be upgrading now to maximise the points increase from the trade if you're chasing overall ranking.

I would look for the greatest increase in average from what you have to what you can get and I think you migth find its achieved by trading Maguire to Lake. If you have enough cash to also trade Pods to Rooey I would do that too. Rooey showing good signs and Pods getting tired.

 

[JMc#5]

G'day, would love some advice... Team is as follows:

BACKS: Goddard; Hodge; Enright; Scotland; Gram; Hargrave; Shaw (webberley; Strijk)

MIDS: Ablett; Swan; Montagna; Boyd; Bartel; Selwood (Rohan; Gysberts)

RUCKS: Sandilands; Cox (Warnock; Lobbe)

FORWARDS: Didak; Pavlich; Giansiracusa; Higgins; O'Keefe; Franklin; Podsiadly (Rockliff; Tippett)




I have 4 trades and $20k in the bank.

I am on top of all 3 of my leagues, and i'm going for league glory.

Looking at the following options:

1) Rohan -> McNeil and Pods -> Riewoldt (leaves me with some cash)
2) Gysberts -> Hardingham and Pods -> Riewoldt (gives me bench cover)

3) do nothing
4) do option 2 next week, risking a mark to market loss on Riewoldt should his price rise.

Would you trade Pods or should i possible look at O'Keefe or Higgins. Pods has West Coast Rd22 at the Cattery...

I'm also interested in overall rank, as i have a bet with a bloke at work, that if i finish in the top 1% of teams he'll shout me beers all night. Currently top 1.5% or so.

Very good side. Mine's the same (apart from reserves) except I've got Waters instead of Gram, Green instead of Selwood, and Chapman instead of Didak.

I would probably refrain from trading. There's still a long way to go and you could very well need those 4 trades for LTI's or suspensions etc. (I still remember being burnt by the suspension of Didak and Heath Shaw in the last couple of rounds a few years ago when I had minimal trades left).

With Rohan already you have the DPP link to use Rockliffe as you emergency for either the mids or the Forwards. This prob means Mcneil is only beneficial if you trade him out. Not entirely necessary imo because you have that dual link already why burn a trade for it unless you badly need the cash. Or really badly want Saint Nick.

 

[Eagle_Rock85]

Hey guys any help/advice would be greatly appreciated on my team:

8 TRADES + $213 000 in bank

BACKS: Goddard, Hodge, Malceski, Enright, Goodwin, Waters, Hargrave (Hams, Strijk)

MIDS: Swan, Montagna, Ablett, Bartel, Mitchell, Dangerfield (Gysberts, Shuey)

RUCKS: Sandilands, Hille (Warnock, Bass)

FORWARDS: Goodes, Pavlich, Okeefe, Higgins, Franklin, Podisadly, J Brown (R. Murphy, Gumbleton)

What Should i do???

 

[IDIG]

Pat yourself on the back?

Danger would be the first i'd look at.

EDIT: And probably to Chappy for mpp.

8 trades still wow? nice.

Ok, your obvious position of weakness is your mid bench as both players look gone for the year. With that in mind I would upgrade Gysberts to a premium, then Danger becomes your 7th mid, and with MPP you have excellent coverage everywhere. Normally I wouldn't advise an upgrade that hefty (i.e. that would cost that much) but since you have plenty of trades and cash to use on downgrade upgrade combos, that is the obvious thing to do. If it were me in your position I would reccomend Chappy, but there's plenty of other good premiums a bit cheaper.

After that, assuming Hille is right, everything else becomes a luxury upgrade. You could maybe consider Waters to a premium such as Lake, and you may also feel like sidewaysing one of your forwards to Roo, if you want him. Once you've done all that you should still have 3-4 trades for LTI's and excellent coverage everywhere.
