Round 17 trades

[Stifler's mom]

Does anyone think that a bottom priced Def is close to getting a game?
I want to cash Terlich out as I have Goodes or Staker to take a starting position, but I would be rapt if my 2nd emergency gave me another option.

Bugger. Well I am thinking of chasing the points with Malceski down back:

Goddard, Shaw, Malceski, Hanley, Gibbs, Heppell (Clisby, Thurlow)

Pendlebury, Ablett, Swan, Jack, Kennedy, Barlow, Mitchell (Arnot, Colquhoun)

Cox, Leuenberger (Nicholls, Currie)

Johnson, Roughead, Franklin, Keneddy, Rockliff, Harvey (Staker, Daniher)

200k in the bank and 2 trades if I commit.

Thoughts? I wanted to bring in Malceski last week, but now seems like a good of a time as any???

two choices, swap out Thurlow in Oxley of Troy Menzel (via cokehoon to def)
Oxley opens up dpp with Staker and menzel opens up dpp with Rocky, SJ, Boomer

But should I commit to this one first? To get that team I have gone:

Watson > Arnot
Hrovat > Malceski

 

[NinjaSwan]

None for me this week, unless danger is gone for 4+ weeks.

I'll either trade him to Griffen, Selwood or Beams.

I wouldnt trade out Hrovat just yet - has cash to make and has excellent job security
post your team pre-any trades if u want

Ahh yes, what was I thinking!

Ok Watson > Arnot + Thurlow > Malceski makes it look like this:

BACK: Goddard, Shaw, Malceski, Hanley, Gibbs, Heppell (Clisby, Colquhoun)

MIDS: Pendlebury, Ablett, Swan, Jack, Kennedy, Barlow, Mitchell (Hrovat, Arnot)

RUCK: Cox, Leuenberger (Nicholls, Currie)

FWDS: Johnson, Roughead, Franklin, Keneddy, Rockliff, Harvey (Staker, Daniher)

150k in bank in the bank and 2 trades

Cheers mate, I am crap in the overall as I was in North Korea for a few weeks rounds 5-8 or something and my side was left untouched whilst they all went down with injuries and suspensions. But when I got back I made a determined effort and plan for the bye rounds (as I had a heap of extra trades!) that has paid massive dividends.

 

[nofx]

Dangerfield > Selwood if he's out for an extended spell
Blair > Rockliff

or

Cash out Ben Kennedy off the bench and use bench cover for Danger
Upgrade Blair to Rockliff or Paddy Ryder

keep in mind i only have 6.5k in the bank currently

 

[The Swert]

Just scored my highest score for the season, no trades needed. I'll let the cash cows moo for another week.

 

[Alexwce]

Just one for me Burbury > Atkins moving SJ forward.

How many trades remaining? I made 2 after scoring 2,503!

3 trades left and just scored 2516. I was planning on upgrading B Goodes, T Mitchell or B Staker sometime soon but they all just scored over 110!

Yup, I have Mitchell and Staker just mooing away too and 150k in the kitty. Am thinking I will upgrade Mitchell and keep Staker as cover.

 

[TurboBreuster]

I'm only interested in winning my $ league. I'm considering Nic Nat to Dusty.

WC in the SC finals:
@ Bombers
v Cats
@ Pies
v Crows

Tigers:
v Lions
v Blues
@ GWS
v Bombers

Pretty tempting...

For those who are purely planning on aiming for league wins is it a priority to have an E loophole on each line?
Had a chat with Sir Skid today and we came to the conclusion that the majority of teams will have 15 - 17 players the same. Finals being decided by those who have a D7, M9, R3 or F7 they can use with the emergency loophole on each line.?

Has anyone else started planning for this as yet?

I've got Sinclair (R/F), Oxley (D/F) and Atkins (M/F). Oxley is useless in weeks 2 and 3. If I go NN> Dusty then I'll have only 4 trades and 340 k left, so no more room for downgrades. It's unlikely but Clisby getting dropped would help me a lot.

Sound good in theory, but when you have a late out ie Suban, you cop a donut.

Yes! I've picked spuds for the specific role of being the donut for each line.
Mostly by accident....
