Round 11 trades

[Krujan]

Cheers mate, although I am thinking of waiting till next week and getting Edwards as a POD. What you recon?

I think the Sydney Titch has more upside than the Richmond version.

 

[yornup]

If downgrading Neale is a consideration for you then I can only assume you are coming first in the country by a long long way.

I've dropped out of the top 10,000, so I'm playing for league wins now. I should still be comfortable in 2/3 leagues this week even without Neale. I just think he's peaked for this season- young and gonna run out of gas. He'll still average 100, but won't get those huge scores he did early on (now watch as he goes large against GCS). I'll be struggling for premos next week so my rationale is that if I can build a kitty I can go shopping next week for premos who have the bye this week.

 

[yornup]

At least I tried to be nice about it.

Hey, if the shoe fits...

 

[Hairy Lager]

I wasn't planning on making any changes, but...

...I'm sorely tempted to pull the trigger and downgrade Neale to Boston to give me a war chest (472k) with which to go unleash hell upgrading to premos over the next fortnight. Do I don't bite the bullet I risk shooting myself in the foot? Or am I cutting off my nose to spite my face? And have I flogged these idioms to death yet?

All of the above^

 

[yornup]

So the consensus is that I'm panicking and need a good lie down? Goodo. Night night then.

That's why we have rookies. You downgrade one, you upgrade another. It's not rocket science.

I've had Neale since the start of the season and there's no way I'll be trading him out. He's 22 now so statistically is at the age where he is peaking. I don't see any way he is going to drop off or "run out of gas" unless his role changes or he get injured. Yes he's had two weeks in a row of sub 100 scores, but for 4 of the 5 weeks prior to that he outscored Fyfe. My sarcasm was directed at the fact that just about everyone is struggling to field 18 players this week and you are talking about trading out someone that is not far off super premo status. If you are outside the top 10k (which I am, just) then surely you have more pressing issues than that. Absolute madness IMO.

 

[dmac_55]

I don't think we will see Krak again this season. Just my gut feel.

Amon will be back. Just pulled up sore from last week.

He has done enough to hold his spot in the team for the forseeable future.

Can't see that happening, was playing well prior to the bye coming out of defence and using the ball well.

Krak will play minimum 6 games on the backend post bye.

My gambit was that I'd downgrade one premo to a rookie to upgrade 2 rookies (now midpricers) to premos- in effect doing in 3 trades what would normally be done in 4. And with Neale's expected price drop next week I figured if I was going to use this strategy it would have to be this week. I got burnt taking risks last week, so my brain is happy to be conservative this week. Just got excited by an idea and thought it best to consult the oracle rather than inadvertantly burn myself again.

I hope you've been cleansed.

I'm pretty much sold on getting Richmond Titch in next week. The bloke is an absolute set and forget 100 this year, and the best in his price range (but I also have Swan and Sydney Titch at that price range too). Consistency + and at 1.3% ownership, a true POD.

By ice. In winter.

 

[Mattrox]

Only trading CEY because Amon has reduced me to 17 players.

That is not a good enough reason on its own to trade.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Stay away from ice dat shit will fuuuuuuuuu you up.

 

[Hairy Lager]

Drugs are bad MMMmmkay.

 

[bjklampard8]

Best midfielder with a RD 13 bye for 560k?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Do you think BCrouch will force CEY out at some stage?

 

[DuckYeah]

Cheers mate, although I am thinking of waiting till next week and getting Edwards as a POD. What you recon?

Beware of the Ablett factor when he comes back, He adds at least 10% to everyones score, bennel will average 100, maybe a little more if GAJ comes back and plays the rest of the year

 

[DuckYeah]

Best midfielder with a RD 13 bye for 560k?

Dusty, lids, have a gander, who do you think is the best fit?

 

[Mattrox]

CEY, Grigg and M Crouch all in the firing line.

B Crouch will probably need one more SANFL game. I'd wait to make the move on him.


If its a matter of cashing up over the byes...... that's a different story.

Jack Watts

Dusty and Deledio have the round 11 bye.
Assuming the question was asking for a midfielder who's playing in rounds 11 & 12 I'd suggest Ebert. Very possibly a keeper in great form with a very low BE.

 

[Red Syrah]

Any thoughts on Hogan, seems to be in for a big price drop over the next 2 weeks. Has he mooed or worth keeping?
Just ok with byes and could upgrade Hogan to anyone under $530k like treloar or Kennedy.
Thinking its worth doing it now bf hogan drops.

Would be Callan Ward for me. Giants have a great draw late in the season.

 

[toxic]

Hey guys, I've almost conceded defeat in my league game this week.. My opponent doesn't seem to be affected at all by the Round 11 Bye!! So no point to burn trades just bcos...

Just looking at my team though, do you think there are any trades I could make? For example
CEY or KRAK > Boston or Dumont... Try & free up some cash for upgrades down the track?

Currently have 16 Trades & $23,500 in the bank..
