Round 3 Trades

[The Lemon]

If Taranto scores 80+ I wonder if people will still do it.

WHE should be good for 85+ this year. I would do that trade

 

[Nelso]

I will be getting WHE this week. I have enough cash in the bank to off load one of my rookies to get him. Most likely will be Pickett at this stage.

Will probably do one other rookie correction trade once I assess the fallout from Round 2.

They're not cheating current WHE owners, they're burning a trade to get in a bloke who has already scored 208 points in two games (probably close to double the score of what the respective rookie in his place has scored), plus he is at an awkward price so most of them will need to be trading up (potentially a $100k spend) to get him in. I'm not sure of too many people who have kept that kind of coin to begin with. Getting him in could take two trades for most people, especially if they're trying to fit Nank in, they could go overboard and sacrifice an underperforming premo. Current WHE owners are at a great advantage right now. If Taranto performs this week, then it'll be very hard to justify getting rid of him as well which looks like the most likely trade for WHE.

Im in a terrible position to get WHE. Have Nank so no worries there. But the most I spent on a rookie is 170k for Bowes, and I dont particularly feel like trading him out. Since I went with a stacked midfield, depending on how Shiel/Steven go if I really want WHE I must offload one of them...

Not looking like an easy decision here

Nelso you don't have Eddy?

I have Eddy but I expect him to come back in the next few weeks.

Out of all of the 3 rookie inclusions this week, he looks the safest short-mid term prospect as he is more or less a straight swap for Rampe, who is out for 5 weeks so I think they will persevere with him. But either way I'd wait until he is on the bubble before committing to him, tonight is a baptism of fire because he is up against a team which locks the ball in it's forward 50 better than anyone.

The only other competition for Newman's spot would be Chand (Aliir) & Alex Johnson. From what I have read AA's form in the NEAFL hasn't set the world alight and with his limited preseason he may need a week or two to get back in the swing of things, while AJ is still in rehab and will hopefully get on the park later in the year, most likely at NEAFL level.

Just quickly, on the other two rookies:
Fox looks to be taking Robinson's high half forward/mid role, he could make way for Heeney in the next 1-2 weeks but Longmire has shown in the past that he will persist with rookies who play their role.

Hayward looks a player, but is undersized. He will take Towers' defensive forward position but I could see him make way for Papley or Rohan when they return.

the hustle to get guys like WHE and Nank in will be real

Started with them both as my F4 and F5

happy days for you then brother

Neither for me

Wbu?

I have none as well. WHE is a must imo, could be a keeper. Nank not so much imo

I think Nank will end the year average around 90 still, so those who bring him in will be a little disappointed. It's easy to take marks from opposition kicks when you vs 2 of the worst defenses in the competition bombing it out of the 50

You're going to draw on him with a magic marker?

No, stab the bitch in the chest

i love that it's always stevebbb that starts these threads.

Always brings a smile

Glad you're smiling mate

It's always half way through the first match of the week when I think to myself, "oh ****, I made a big mistake! How can I fix this mess?"

 

[The Lemon]

shut the **** up Mullarkey

 

[buttox]

At this stage I'd like to bring in marchbank and whe. Not sure who for. Need to improve both forwards and backs. I may downgrade in order to fund it. Which wouldn't be ideal.

 

[Mofra]

Will look to bring in the best rookie I don't have - pretty chuffed with Nank, WHE & Steele.
Not sold on Toby Greene but will give him time. Backline needs work, backline rookies won't carry much weight this year (Marchbank excluded, but everyone has him anyway)

 

[JT_the_Man]

I can see myself being out of trades by the byes.

Byes?

Byes?

You still get 3 trades during bye weeks yeah?

That you do.

 

[poido]

I can feel the bandwagon starting to topple over from all the new Nank and WHE owners jumping on.
