Those planning to trade in Watson can't be too interested in winning their league.
Why? If you plan for it and keep a trade up your sleeve, why can't you move Watson out for any in-form Hawk (vs Gold Coast rd 24) that isn't already on your list?

Nah completely agree. I fell for the trap of trying to be unique and get a prem that everyone was avoiding to have an edge which has cost me big time.
The problem is the only teams that have had their byes are GC, North and Adelaide which doesn't leave me any real advantage with regard to avoiding byes.
I second this. Rawlings has the potential to be top 5 backs.Rawlings?
Will i jump on the curnow bandwagon after his 70k + price rise.
Hey guys, am thinking about trading out Krakour for either Dangerfield or FYFE, both are scoring well. What do you think? Any help is good help. Cheers
I just reckon it's absolute madness to even consider trading Krakouer at this early stage.
The last few years he's been playing in a prison footy side, then onto a good WAFL side, now he's played just three AFL H&A games...
It's a massive, massive step up...and as good as he was for Swan Districts last year, playing for Collingwood in the big league is whole different story.
He will need time. Maybe not this week or the next, but once his fitness levels go up and he gets used the pace of league footy, he will pay off for all those left who still have him.

Nat Fyfe hasnt seemed to struggle with the step up from year 11 3rds and 2nd school teams to being one of the top 100-150 players in the AFL in just his second year (3 years later).
Krakouer will get better, but i think hes unfortunately playing for a side that is too strong and means he will be a substitute a lot of the time. I think he will be a sub this week (whether subbed on or off) if there are no injuries.
You can pick about 18 other magpies that you just know, wont be the sub. So it really narrows it down to those 18-22 players which Krakouer sits in at the moment. L.Davis, Krakouer and Toovey seem very likely subs, although AFL clubs seem to be trying to share the sub around. I wonder what Micks philosophy is behind it. ATM hes had his 2 worst players be sub every week on and off besides Shaw due to injury.
Krakouer also has a BE of 45~ hes unlikely to rise too much more with being subbed, he also has JS problems at the moment and trading him before his round 7 bye isn't a bad idea whether it be this week or the next few.
There aren't always going to be good cash cows on offer every week, so i will be taking advantage of the best of them when they hit the bubble.
I completely agree with you! However, this isn't about Krakouer, it's about Curnow. If Curnow wasn't looking like a 'must have' then I wouldn't even consider trading Krakouer.
I still have 24 trades left and am aiming for overall. I'm currently ranked in the top 4,500 and don't think i can do without him...

Yer, I see your point. Curnow does look tempting (I traded Conca in for him last week)...it's a tough call.
I did the Conca to Curnow trade last week, as I'd clearly backed the wrong horse...
I'm now looking (with byes and injuries) at having an empty defensive bench this week, although starting positions covered at this stage...
I'm wondering whether I make the Waters to Adcock switch, even though he's not playing, or look at someone else (or make the trade next week). All up with taking Waters out I have 381K to spend....
You realistically have two options;
1. Trade Waters > Adcock. There is no advantage in doing it this week e.g. he might get injured at training (unlikely, i know). Therfore, do it after round 4.
2. Trade Waters for someone under $381,000. You don't quite have enough for Enright or Rawlings which makes the decision pretty tough.
Good luck
HELP!!!
Would I be stupid to trade in Prestia for Matera this week? Prestia looks like a much higher scorer.
