Round 3 Trades

[karaoke]

Impey, Rohan dont really score over 50

Not enough games (2) yet to be drawing that conclusion as a fwd projection,

Rohan probably fair enough, although I would say a 60 ave is what you should expect,

Ok here is my rubble.

I've already done this weeks trades but can reverse them.

Pretty set on going Burger > Mummy and Roughead > Zorko

Leaves me $222,300 in the kitty.

Next week I want to downgrade Rohan > M.Crouch via Taylor dpp to forwards and then upgrade one of Webster, Michie or Higgins to Swallow (preferably Michie if funds allow to Swallow)

I'll check out your team and give you my 5 cents worth.

I believe you really need to keep Luey & Ruff,

If you're intent on getting Zorko, why not go Caddy > Zorko?

I don't see Caddy as a good SC scorer, perhaps in DT/AF,

My 5c,

 

[PACatter]

1. (Cotchin or Libba) & Wright -> NRoo and Wines
2. Rohan & Daisy -> Wines and Ambrose
3. Cotchin & Libba -> Wines and Watson

Leaning towards 1 with Libba, as Wright was a flyer that doesn't look like it will pay off and I think Wines + NRoo should outscore Libba + Wright by 30+ each round. However, Libba has the friendly round 9 bye, while Cotch has 8.

Why not go McVeigh -> Swallow before the price leap and Caddy to Zorko while keeping Roughy?

 

[Krujan]

does anyone else have Swanny
what to do with the bloke?

I do. Haven't made up my mind yet. Will wait until after the first 3 games of the round before deciding whether to upgrade or partially downgrade.

Looks like a lot of sideways action. Are your rookies all set? Any injuries?

Cotchin is averaging 100+ and will do so the rest of the year. Seems a trade you'll regret using come finals time.

 

[Unknown Identity]

Doing my head in this week.
Sitting 2051 and if i had of started with Zorko instead of Norman Gunston would be sitting 145th, stupidly panicked in the last 5 min before round 1 lockout.

So.. Gunston out, Zorko in.

Remaining trade is all dependent on whether Laidler gets named.

$236,000 in the bank.

OPTION A (Laidler plays)

Clurey out - McDonald to Defence - Lewis Taylor in

OPTION B (Laidler doesn't play)

Laidler to Jaensch

OPTION C (Laidler doesn't play)

Laidler out - McDonald to defence - Matt Thomas/Josh Kelly In

OPTION D (Laidler doesn't play)

Laidler out - McDonald to defence - Lewis Taylor in (280K in the bank)

Or happy to hear other suggestions..??? maybe an angle i'm not seeing..

Thoughts Gentlemen..?

Sounds interesting. Got pics?

 

[Guardian Hawk]

Only 2 games in, I would wait on Goldstein. Trades are too important to be sideways-ing with premiums who are still playing.
What happens if Goldstein comes out this week and smashes a 150?

Rohan to Ambrose is solid, though I'm one of the few who remains unconvinced of his JS.
Do you have Taylor in your mids? You could trade Rohan to Cunningham/Kelly/Gleeson through MPP.

Thanks mate!

No Taylor unfortunately. Normally wouldn't sideways (especially a premium) but I wonder if the situation is different given Goldy is definately playing injured (shoulder) but must play on because he is so important to North's structure. Secondly, Currie has come into the side and we all know Goldy only thrives when he is sole ruck. He is also priced well over $600K so he needs premium scores every week. (Also, Mumford is below $500K and is very capable of scoring just as well when injury free which he seems to be). Extra trades these days help a lot too (Doesn't help I accidently had Goldy captain last round instead of Ablett/Pendles)

On the flip side, Goldy was definately hampered by his shoulder in round 1 and was up against Minson in round 2. If he's playing, his injury may be OK (or close to fully recovered) and up against lesser rucks may return to smashing it (particularly as Mumford has enjoyed the relatively weak ruck opponents of Pyke and Hickey).

Decisions, decisions...

I actually agree with you on Ambrose. Not just JS (which is definantly an issue), but as a 3rd in line KPF, I think he will score more 40's than anything else (he won't kick 3 every week) and generate a lot less cash than people may expect. Given F6 is currently a rookie for me (Rohan, JKH or Impey) will also mean those low scores are getting counted. We will wait and see.

 

[Krujan]

Sounds like you should be the one giving us all the advice mate.

What do I do with my spud team that's ranked 35,437?

FFS JM there is nothing spuddy about your current team. You're only a few hundred points from top 1k. The reason you fell behind temporarily in Rd2 was due to the fact that you didn't have 1 or 2 of the monster 150+ Rd 2 scores from Pendles, Zorko, Mumford & NRoo as well as having 2-3 sub par scores from premos. However this week it will be 2 or 3 OTHER players who pull monster scores out of their arses and different premos will spud up, most likely the ones you don't trade out. I realise it is comforting to see 2 players on your team list with 140+ averages under their names and putting the C on one of them, but seriously how many players Ablett excluded has pulled consecutive 150+ scores or maintained anything close to a 140+ average?

 

[SureBuddy]

I do. Haven't made up my mind yet. Will wait until after the first 3 games of the round before deciding whether to upgrade or partially downgrade.

This one is killing me Gingy. Nothing I hate more than sideways trading a premo, especially one of Swan's calibre. If I keep him and he scores a 130 like normal everything is all good and you can handle his price drop because he is a keeper for the whole year anyways. If I keep him and he scores a 60-70 again he loses HUGE amounts of cash and you struggle to sideways trade him to someone decent.

Currently I have gone Swan > Ollie, Brodie Martin > Swallow. Ultimately, if Swan starts to go big again he can be an early upgrade target and we might be able to get him cheaper. If he doesn't well then we missed that bullet.

Injuries - Waiting to hear back on Mitchell
Rooks - Could use Langford in instead of a WCE donut rookie. Would like Currie in as a ruck rookie, but waiting until next week for that move.

I just want to get Wines in, I wasn't sure if he was just a flash in the pan, but clearly after NAB and the first 2 rounds, kid could be a monster.

That's a post everyone should read and take notice of. Even the best players have good and bad weeks. Barring injury you should give your premium players the chance, over a number of games, to justify your reasons for selecting them. Only if they continue to underperform should they be replaced. Dumping them for a one off failure is a sure way to run out of trades in record time.

 

[Faz 2000]

Sure, Wines is a beast. Love him. But surely trading out fit premiums (Cotch, Libba) is just an absolute no-no.

A week from now, Wines plays OK but gets an 80, Cotch is averaging 110 and Libba smashes out a 150 like he can, and you are in Regretsville.

 

[Jars458]

Thinking now my only trade will be Rohan to Taylor. Will hang on to Hodge Enright and Mitchell and hope at least one plays and the others are back very soon.

Hence option #2. Ambrose will make more cash and likely more points than Rohan, plus free up enough to swap Daisy to Wines. I bought into the Daisy hype right before teams locked in the first round, should've gone with my first instinct.

Edit: Also, nice avatar.

^^^ Very, very well put. I think the biggest mistake SC players make is letting subjective thoughts impression their decision making. Never forget this is a numbers/ probability game - and don't get sucked into decision based on week to week standings, especially this early in the season.

 

[timtamWB]

I love all the people trading Rohan out. Really, what did you guys expect? You all KNEW he wouldn't score well, he's there because he has good JS. I knew he wouldn't score well, especially for 160K when there would be forward rookies cheaper than that that are an option. I warned you

 

[SureBuddy]

**** this, SWANNY GET BACK IN MY TEAM! No trading out premo's EVER after the first few rounds. God the guy is a fantasy PIG. He will surely come good!

Gingy one thing that makes me feel a bit better about keeping Swan is he did score 67 last year against the Swans as well. He will bounce back for sure. Can't believe I ever considered dropping him.

Have now gone:
Brodie Martin > Gergiou (rookie correction)
Sutcliffe > Swallow (do not wanna miss the Swallow price rise)

Alas, I couldn't see any other forward rookies at the time. Had literally never heard of Ambrose before this week. So failure, thy name is Faz.

For all the gnashing of teeth, though, Rohan will still likely drift up in value.

 

[hoddo]

Surely this can't be right. 3116 people have traded out Dangerfield ?!?!?

Option D by miles IMO

unless Hickey isnt right then it gets interesting as I dont see Mr Currie there to assist

I think for most people, me included, Rohan is exactly as expected. I wasn't sure of the JS of Ambrose or Taylor, and Rohan ensured I would have enough cash to swap them in and maybe upgrade elsewhere when - not if - the time came.

I think people are only trading him out because he is injured and doubtful to play apparently (some knee niggle)

along with the fact the Lewis Taylor and Ambrose are cash cows already looking like they will moo quicker and louder than Rohan I can completely understand why many are ditching him.

Rounds 2 & 3 all about corrective rookie trades

Cheers Tox, always count on you!

Hoping Hickey lines up and if he doesn't.. fingers crossed Thurlow gets a late promotion and call up after a strong showing in the VFL. Really don't want to sideways trade to Hampson. Gross!
