Surprised as to how many are now talking about upgrading Seedsman or looking at him as D7. After 11 rounds he is the 8th highest ranked defender (based on average) without taking Austin's 2 games into account. This is all due to his poor score last week. I'd be quite happy if my D6 or F6 was the 8th highest ranked player in that group.Pretty happy where my team is sitting at the moment before this weeks trades with 13 trades left, 200k in the bank.
I think the MID is my only area I'll be targeting upgrades over the byes and hopefully dump some of my non playing/dud rookies.
McLean into the FWD for ??? - I still have no idea who to class as Top 8 mids.
Seedsman I hope to keep as a M9/D7 and upgrade Spargo, but may need to upgrade him into an M8 as his 3 and 5 round avgs are not looking like a good sign.
What's the bet there will be an absolute plethora of backline rookies next year on top of that !!
CD will probably need to do something like that otherwise too many squads may well have very similar starting backlines. I very much doubt that they will give Docherty the full 30% discount though.
Williamson from Carlton is one I'm thinking could be a decent cheapie if he gets a decent percentage cut off his price. Showed a bit of promise last year.
Could probably add one of your mates as well - Hamish Hartlett. 86.6 average this year and will get a 15% discount.
He was going well too before the ACL
You're doing too well to be thinking about 2019
Always thinking ahead H_E.You're doing too well to be thinking about 2019
Your bench is very bare for mine, particularly down back, I'd trade down to 4 trades, get some more coverage for 1-2 week injuries/suspensions that are a logical hold then hope for the best for a few weeks on the long-term injury front
Thanks Pups, ill try to strengthen it a little
I agree with pups. Your bench cover is extremely shaky. My strategy is to have Ahern (mid/fwd) and J Smith (mid/def) both of whom I feel have good job security on my midfield bench. There will be a minimum priced mid/def on my defensive bench and similar on my forward bench plus Fritsch.
Looks quite strong h_e. Will have 15 of the 22 starters the same as mine.8 trades left.
Keeping Parker as a M9 once I can get Macrae in. McLean will also come in after a few price decreases for the least performing of Taranto/Gray/Fritsch
How I sit after this weeks trades, happy with my depth at D7, F7 and R3 and the DPP to take advantage of it.
Not a fan of having to play one of Savage/Seeds but will consider moving one on for Hurley next week. Will hold Crae and just play both of Gray and Wingard.
Just the 4 trades left and ranked at 139th
Cheers!
