Round 3 trades

[LegendLewis]

So last week I did a last minute trade and ousted Rocky and Cripps for Shiel and Rich. Which I did three minutes before the carlton game.
I am very happy with the score Shiel gave me last week BUT I still think I made a bad decision as all week I have regretted bringing in Shiel.
Time will tell but buyer beware in Shiel, it will not let you rest easy.

So Lids is out now, I'm not holding a player who is carrying an injury and likely to play less than 100% for some time.

Lids > Bonts
GAJ > NVB

Generate approx. $600k and not really lose anything points wise.

Awesome, thanks for the advice..... Im now leaning toward Gaz and Cripps out for Shiel and VDBerg. This leaves me over $400k in the kitty to upgrade to Goldy & Bartel/Buddy (or whomever premo I choose) next week, will generate me $840,000 cash this week alone (with all of my cashcows added up), and will give me a potential Mid keeper in Shiel who will also earn cash.
I like Shiel and I clearly like the POD players (no Selwood, Pendles, JPK, etc) as illustrated in my team below.
Any other ideas/suggestions are appreciated.....

Leaves me with the following team:
Shaw, Lamumba, Newnes, Saad, McIntosh, Oxley (Brown Goodes)
SHIEL, Fyfe, Wines, Dangerfield, Beams, Rich, CEY, VANDENBERG (Heeney, Miller, Smith)
BellChambers, LeuenBurger (Cox)
Bont, Tex Walker, Gray, Swan, Bennell, Hogan (Clarke, McGrath)

Personally I would trade out one of Miller/Smith for VDBerg instead of Cripps, while it leaves you with 100k less in the bank, Cripps will give you higher scores and will make more $$ than Miller/Smith.

Deledio out has f***ed me. If B Goodes plays then I'll have to keep him for now (his value should stagnate so that doesn't worry me).

Hold or trade on Deledio?

I think I'm on the Shiel train. Cheap as hell, and won't see the tag with Ward, Treloar and Griffen around.

Suicide is still illegal in Australia you know.

I dont think suicide is illegal in that I am fairly sure you wont get prosecuted if your attempt fails for instance.....

But back on point the 250K does allow me to upgrade other spots earlier.

I will have to crunch the numbers on Heeney vs Pendles rd 3 predicted scores and the scores of keeping a Clark/Hogan vs Premo type longer.

As I said I hope he plays as it means I dont have to worry about getting him back in later.

Out of curiosity, how do you qualify a premium forward?

Everyone's definition is different, but for mine a player who has averaged 100+ for 2-3 years in a row.

Cool advice, any other opinions on this? Keep Cripps for an additional $100,000, or trade him out to afford better premiums next week?? $100,000 is a solid chuck to upgrade an upgrade, if that makes any sense.....

 

[Jiska]

If you two are going to be nice to each other I won't bother coming back.

As long as we don't talk about Furphy, it's not often we disagree

I think that attempted suicide is illegal in the NT only. They're a bit backwards up there.

I am holding.

Even if suicide isn't illegal, anyone who gives thumbs up to your crazy idea should get done for aiding and abetting.

He might lose 50-60k if he has a bad run but you'll be spending multiple trades to get him out and in again. The only way it makes any sense is if you think he won't be a keeper at the end of the year. With Ablett and Rocky on the ropes I think the chance of this is pretty remote.

Suicide is illegal. The punishment is the death penalty.

 

[Hoges64]

I don't see enough upside in Mundy. Safer would be say Ablett to Sloane or Kennedy and Miller to NVB especially if Miller is dropped (if you can afford this?). Then deal with Goodes another week.

Yeah, starting to see the value in this. Can afford Sloane and VB either way. Will depend on whether both Goodes and Miller are dropped I suppose as I can look at loophole options then.

I agree about his quality, I would have to spend that amount of trades to get a premo in anyway. But I have 30 trades and this one trade will not change the team structure at all but will free up money and Bonts should score well this week as we have never been a heavy tagging side, all the good players tend to score well against us.

Again if he plays no trade, but if he doesnt I have to take Heeney on the field which I really dont want to do as I dont trust the vest situation there and I have no loopholing possiblities this week.

I still may play safe and keep him but playing safe is a rankings killer.

I read Goodes will spend some time in the two's.

then read it was Adam.

Few holes to fill

only $7k in the bank
Ablett for ??
anything else need addressing?

you have Lambert and Byrne who won't make you any $$$ for a long time
you can't be taking Brown's scores every week, too low
you have enough mid premiums to drop Ablett for a rookie or mid pricer

I'd go
Ablett to Vanbengerg/VanBerlo/Rich/Bont
Byrne to Simpson/Docherty/any keeper you like/can afford
or bring in Oxley for Byrne and bank heaps of $$$ for upgrades next week

For the first time ever it would be bigger news if it was Brett.... SCers everywhere would need to reconsider their options.

Like stevebb said, you can't have brown as anything other than bench cover

Gaz --> Bont &
Hamling --> Docherty OR:

Gaz--> rich &
Hamling --> smith (if he plays)

 

[rocker_oz33]

Looks like I'm getting on the Bonti train all seats are taken,standing room only.

 

[timtamWB]

A word of warning, Bonti apparently didn't train on Tuesday or Thursday (today). Just watch team sheets tonight and do not panic.

Byrne/Hamling to Oxley is a must I reckon.
