Round 3 trades

[stevebbb]

Really confused what to do with Rich. I was going to give him another week but with Rockliff, Beams and Robinson (50/50) out, he will definitely get the tag.

Thoughts?

EDIT: My current two trades are Gresham to Papley + Rockliff to Gray

Rich is probably going to miss this week btw
He is training tomorrow, so he'll be named tonight, but I'm expecting him to be out tomorrow night (or a late out! )

I'm keeping him though, nobody really tags these days.. I'm still expecting a ~90 average

 

[enobrien]

Zorko @543k with intention to move to fwd in future maybe? Beams and Rocky out.

They are the two i've got to choose really. Cripps or Zorko. Hmmmmmm big decisions!!!

 

[Hairy Lager]

Thoughts on team balance after just going Rocky > Cripps? Don't need any other trades as I nailed the rooks

Not concerned about Gresham and Dunkley?

 

[Gribnoor]

Thanks mate, appreciate it! Absolutely nothing in the kitty, probably my only mistake with my starting squad. A measely $300 to add to Rocky's $550,100. Not sure who else I go to under that mark? Not sold on JJ.

Yeah, if your not sold on JJ (and I imagine you've already considered the Zaha gamble), it's a bit bare in the price range...

 

[FAILTOSUCCEED]

Yeah I like Laird don't like Houli though he likes to butcher his possessions.

May go Laird....

If I was to follow suite I'd be turning Cutler into JJ but my funky senses are telling me no.

I really don't think Houli is a butcher at all. Did you watch him against Collingwood? Right decision every time and really accurate.

 

[enobrien]

Not concerned about Gresham and Dunkley?

Not really?? If they get dropped, loophole for me! Got the right ones to make me enough money. Or if Gresham gets dropped you think I should go > Hewett? Gives me a bit more cash to get someone in around the 565k mark. Maybe a Blicavs.

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Good trade hope it works out.
I'm looking at moving on Rocky. Barlow may get a reprieve at this stage. Waiting for team selections. Tossing up between Gray Pridda Ward.
Could be a real shite storm though if rookies don't get named.

Can't go wrong with any of those selections.
I'm still contemplating Rocky to Hall or Rocky to Gray/Priddis.
Barlow is gone for BenKen. I know i should keep him but I also believe I shouldn't have started with him. Grabbing Hall is a corrective trade on Barlow that Im allowing myself.

 

[Didstar]

I'm expecting him to be dropped fwiw

Hopefully. Isn't really offering anything to the team anyways.

Do you have Hartley? That's the other consideration about trading Rich next week.

 

[Deliverance]

Just out of form the *young man.

But please do continue to trade him out. Please do!

Been "out of form" since Lachie Neales emergence.

 

[NSWCROW]

Langdon > Adams


Langdons BE is 125 this week , if he could pull a 125 out it'd be nice but he ( much like Lachie Whitfield ) seems destined to be a " MR 75 PPG "

I really don't think Houli is a butcher at all. Did you watch him against Collingwood? Right decision every time and really accurate.

I started with him last year and clearly remember being frustrated with his disposal efficiency.

By the same logic a weakness of KFC chicken is that dastardly colonel not telling us his 11 herbs and spices.

Enjoy the chicken my friend!

The result is that the SC scoring method results in a very decent, reliable, consistent numerical valuation of influence on a football match.

Which is no mean feat given the incredible number of human factors and subjectivity in play every game.

When I was a kid I worked at KFC. Its pretty much just salt and pepper.

Yeah I have Hartley.
I'm keeping Rich for the year Hope and pray

 

[MJC23]

Rockliff to Parker or Gray, still undecided and will make a last minute call tomorrow I would say.

Holding Barlow and passing on JJ for now

 

[P_Cripps]

Yeah I have Hartley.

I may not trade in Hartley at all seeing I have everyother defence rookie with Laird, Johanissen and Rich.

 

[stevebbb]

He's a must have imo, he'll score another 50-90 this week again.. will play every game

Surely you have a mid rookie like Gresham or Dunkley that will be dropped tonight or next week

Mid rookie out -> BenKen/Menadue/etc to mids -> Adams/Brown to fwd -> Hartley in

 

[oneredfrog]

Yeah I have Hartley.

Yeah I have Rich, Rocky and Barlow. Have been really tempted to go bang bang and get BenKen and JJ in, maybe sitting Rocky on the Bench but now thinking just sitting tight and not burning trades. Might be hoping and praying too much?!

Benken is the only rookie I missed on. How important do you reckon he is for cash generation? But then who to trade, have no others I would want to use to get him. Ahhh the dilemma's.

I'm keep Rich, I made an educated decision after some research to start with him.
Barlow and Rocky on the other hand were just impulse decisions based on:
"Barlow will play mid blah blah"; and
"Rocky is a 130+ averaging SC stud blah blah"
So i'm happy to get rid of them

I think you need BenKen, I can't see him averaging under 85 tbh, could very well be a keeper

Was that the 92 or 109 he scored this year?

Because last year he scored 18 games higher then that 92. He also scored 10 times higher then 109.

Emergence? Please mate please.

 

[GAsnr]

Its pretty much just salt and pepper.

The suspense is half the flavour

I really like how you are defending Barlow, i really hope there is some humble pie being eaten after round 3.

At least for a bloody Freo supporter's sake.

 

[joop]

Because Collingwood has an easy run of six games coming up, right?

No. Because maccafer is shit and papley will score more, make more money and you get some extra cash from the trade.

 

[Spacedog]

So rockliff is listed as out for 1-2 weeks. If he's out for 2 weeks do we miss out on points from another premium, and hope he comes back better. Or get him out for someone like parker and then have to possibly trade rocky back if hes good.

 

[Kadog]

I'm sick of Barlow...and I don't even have the campaigner.
