Trades Round 5 Trades - Contenders for dual-position status

[swindle]

Essendon have a good draw due to their low finish last year. Not impossible they win a few?

Yeah later on in the year though, we have a very tough draw for the next month

 

[Wellsy35]

Was locked into Redman but this has spooked me.

Bombers have got the dees, pies, cats, Port (away), Lions (away), tigers in the next 6 games.

Maybe B.Dale or Lloyd. Just don't know.

Me too as well.

My dilemma atm: straight swap to the Redman/Lloyd types, or cull Davey early to go Stewart/Dawson?

I see it differently. Harder draw in the next 6 means more chips/kick outs in the back half. I’d be looking to offload a forward in Davey as a result.

 

[Hawkboy62]

Considering dumping Ashcroft @ $309k.

BE 22. His 105 cycles out next week.

Good player, but he's not playing a very SC friendly role in a team of gun mids.

Could be a spike week for all the Lions, playing North.

 

[Changa10]

Could be a spike week for all the Lions, playing North.

And Giants, playing Hawks.......

 

[Sketi]

Is it so crazy to sideways Laird to Oliver?

Find it a little concerning that the Crows' improvement doesn't coincide with Laird scoring well. Their new quicker style doesn't seem to suit him.

He's still 650k so still in the Oliver range somewhat. Could lose some heavy cash by holding him....

 

[JuddgementDay]

How long is Day out for?
Will the Hawks contest this suspension?

He’s out for 2, but Hawks are contesting to bring down to 1.

Usually I would agree but Redmans performances in losses are much much worse than in wins. 78 ave in losses last year.

Nothing to suggest this year is different thus far

 

[Makeshift Park]

Right, after a dozen iterations, I'm not trading shit until they announce squads.

How the heck am I meant to plan anything when I don't know how long Day will be out for, or whether half of my defence or anyone on my interchange is going to get a game this week.

Then there's JVR, the only "good" rookie, whose job is apparently in immediate peril.

 

[Gigantic]

I'm still on operation get Piggy. Fortunately, have dodged all the carnage thus far so no distractions diverting cash away.

 

[Maybe Tomorrow]

He takes kick ins right?

 

[morningbrown]

Decided on Doch > Dawson and Day > Ryan. Having the top 3 defenders makes me feel pretty good.

Luke Ryan? Just careful, I read somewhere that he pulled up proppy. Just watch this space.

 

[Hawkboy62]

Going to skip Picket and JVR.

Ginbey > Michalanney
Amartey > Oliver

Leaves my other rookies to moo. Hopefully Oliver and Michalanney will score than the combined 65 of the players they are replacing.

Torn between Day's appeal succeeding or not. From a SC point of view 2 weeks is better for me as my bank is almost skint.

Ryan under an injury cloud.

Why does it matter that Laird is losing cash when you already have him?

The week you sideways Laird to Oliver, Laird will go 150 and you’ll be kicking yourself

Hold your premos. They’ll come good

 

[kyri]

Hold your premos. They’ll come good

Except for Cogs..

Fire that potato into the sun!

 

[Scythe94]

Except for Cogs..

Fire that potato into the sun!

He'll go 130+ this week lol

 

[AFDogs]

Except for Cogs..

Fire that potato into the sun!

I’m trying to get him in, will bottom out soon and backing him in to turn it around. My forwardline will be complete

 

[Scythe94]

Think I'm pretty settled on my two options this week.

• If all rookies play, I'll do Doc -> Stewart and Chesser -> Young.
• If a rookie or two is rested/dropped, I'll make Doc -> Young, rookie -> Clarry work.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Heard last night that the scoring differential between wins & losses for Redman is significant ....maybe checkout & confirm ... how will ESS go from here ?

Pretty small sample size.

He had a mare vs saints .

Been good in the others .

Gull more proven can he put 10 or 20 points on he's 92 avg from last year?
Been soild so far ..

Cogs is the biggest downhill skier in SC. Always does well against weak teams.

Round 6 to 11 is very tough for the Giants, I can see 6 straight losses.

I reckon you can look at him post bye, for the run home, hopefully very cheap.

Even in round 12 he looks like a decent pick-up.

I'll be avoiding otherwise.

 

[Scythe94]

Also, not trying to be a pessimist, but be very careful bringing in JVR with the news Gawn is only 1-2 away.

You'll find every Melbourne supporter never wants to see JVR play a VFL game again, but Goodwin has an unconscionable amount of faith in the dinosaurs (Brown and McDonald), so if JVR understandably has a quiet one in the driving rain on Saturday, there's every chance he could find himself on the outer.

Of course, I very much hope that's not the case as Brown and McDonald suck

 

[rocker_oz33]

The carnage on the backline has begun:
Doch - injured
Day - suspended
Chesser - injured
Constable - already dropped
…
In some selection doubts:
Cowan
Wilmot
Ginbey

Yikes!

Maybe T.young a option for you .
