Round 16 Trades

[amazingjoshy]

Going to have a fragile midfield this week, starting Ablett with no cover unless Hunter plays. Just need a decent downgrade option next week... the 180k rookie looks good if he plays.

Reckon Caddy might be a good option for a quick cash grab and some solid backup, or for a bit extra Dalziell.

 

[nefarious]

Vlastuin -> Boston (took the money and ran)

Spuddy Franklin -> Stevie J (average of 168 in his last two against Melbourne..)

Could change.

 

[Forward Press]

Any suggestions on a forward not named Bartel, Cloke, SJ, JK, Zorko or Lewis?

Was thinking Riewoldt of Nick but the rest are so unappealing.

stokes

Even with that 67 this weekend?

Hm, perhaps gambling on Pav could be good, Dockers look to have a soft run and the f***er kicked 8 against us last year

Tippet could be an option?

Brent Harvey has scored 96 and 117 in his last two... 404k and a BE of 49...

At 404K BE isnt really worh looking at because he would be a keeper, unless injurey.. But the answer im looking for is to weather he can sustain the average for the remander of the season

True. Well he's averaging a touch over 90, obviously got towelled by Crowley the other week but I think the return of Ziebell and Cunnington can only help his scoring power, more inside grunt and other options for opposition taggers to go to.

Defently tempting.


Re-read your post, I may have changed something.

Roo is best choice, Stokes was back to his old forward role on the weekend although has Melbourne this week. Toughie

 

[Hammers_Saints]

Watson -> ROK
Swallow -> Monty

Time to upgrade my midfield with jets. Only really leaves me with Bartel to get into my team for me to really consider it complete, as well as moving on Buddy at some stage, possibly even for Bartel.

Hopefully I can find a nice downgrade target next week for Crouch perhaps who is finally starting to repay the faith!

Rockliff?

Rockliff?

One of those unappealing ones. His scores are erratic and I already have to deal with Zorko. I probably should stay away from Brisbane players next year.

I traded him out when he was injured with the intention of later bringing him back in at a lower price but I don't think I will now.

 

[LanLion]

So very disappointed, I had a 50:50 call between Vlastuin and Macaffer last week.... -50pts and -30k later....
Torn at the moment.

1. OUT Boyd, Vlastuin
IN Stevie J, Hooker

2. OUT Boyd, Vlastuin
OR IN Bartel, Terlich

3. OUT Boyd, Buddy
IN Stevie J + Terlich OR Bird

Stevie J is a no brainer, but then I need a <360k def (already have Hanley). I like the look of Hooker, basically he is the next Hibberd and I think he will be stepping up in the next 2- soft opponents and Watson +/- Stanton out. Bridging trade to someone like Ibbotson in 2wk.
Terlich = 3 tons in a row under Neal Craig, and he's consistent as he is obviously their go to guy. Bartel is junk time king...
Problem with option 3 is that it means I'm keeping Vlastuin to lose another 30k

 

[Prince St]

Desperately need your opinions, would be greatly appreciated.

Me After Trades
MID: Ablett Swan Pendlebury ROK Barlow S.Mitchell Fyfe JPK (T.Mitchell*)

RUCK: Cox Clarke

Trades
Watson -> Barlow
TBA -> Downgrade

(I confidently have my opponents backline and forwards covered)

Opponent After Trades
MID:Ablett Swan Pendlebury ROK Barlow Priddis JPK T.Mitchell (B.McKenzie*)

RUCK: Cox Roughead

Trades
O'Meara -> Swan
Natanui -> Roughead

*denotes player in if Ablett misses another week. Fingers crossed.

Now I have Zac Clarke and with Sandilands coming back I could be in a bit of trouble, it showed with his score on the weekend (57). I'm not confident on him outscoring my bench players Blicavs (MELB) and Nichols (RICH). I would upgrade Clarke but I'm set on getting Barlow in unless you can convince me to do otherwise.

Do I upgrade Clarke and start T. Mitchell in place of Watson and concede Barlow's score against me?
Or
Do I leave my Barlow trade as is and who do I start in ruck Clarke/Blicavs/Nichols?

 

[JDWCE]

How do you know your opponents trades?

 

[JDWCE]

Oh and I would upgrade Clarke and start T Mitchell as the difference in playing T Mitchell over Barlow won't be as big as playing a top ruckman over Clarke

 

[Prince St]

He told me not knowing he was up against me this week, in turn I told him what I had so far planned coz I'm a good bloke

Thanks mate

Get Barlow in, start Blicavs.
Titchell has to start, he's nailed on to go big against GWS. I'd even consider benching S.Mitchell in favour of him. JPK is no certainty to go big against GWS either- he's shown in the past to coast against the lowly teams.
