Round 7 Trades

[Agechamp]

I'm fielding those 3 mid rookies + Libba currently

Don't think it's too much of a risk, just need my premos and midpricers not to shit the bed, alas they did this week

It sucks waiting for these rookies to moo, but just gotta for the long game

Once Gibbons has peaked in a week or two I'll upgrade him and I'll push a Ross type to the bench

The bastrads just keep giving us that decent score to hang onto them.

And no real others stepping up.

I would have definitely moved a port rookie on by now but they still have value.

Butters probably has one more game in him then he's done, but I think I'll just cut him now to build a bank again

Dogs supporters- is daniel’s role likely to change or is he lock to play that half back sweeper?? If so, he’s a lock to average 90...

The only people who've stuffed up here are the ones blowing trades on Smith/Williams types to Whitfield at sky high price

Much rather his 111 average having started with him than not having him at all end of the day

Hopefully he'll be fine for next week, but won't be surprised if he misses

Hope that he does miss a week. Given me an extra week to gain the cash needed.[/QUOTE]

 

[Leuy LongerCombo]

Was concerned with the Hutchings tag on Kelly and didn’t pull the trigger last week. Seems that he tackled his way to a very respectable score atleast.

With that GWS score rolling out this week, and at 620k that looks like good buying to me. Think he will be the number 3 scorer in the forward line, so adding him to Boak and Danger strengthens that line considerably for me where I’ve been leaking points having to play McCarthy and Drew.

 

[SloppyJoe]

Thinking Clark out for Young and upgrade Stinkin Lincoln to Boak

Thinking Clark out for Young and upgrade Stinkin Lincoln to Boak

I need to decide on linc the stink to Boak +$83k or Caleb Daniel +$180k... I think Daniel will be 90-95 most weeks. Boak seems to be 115-125...I like have extra $$$ for upgrade the week after...tough call

 

[HolyRioli]

Libba -> Hayes
Clarke -> Houli. Was originally going to be Whitfield, though that can obviously wait a while now.

$578K in the bank, will be upgrading Gibbons next week once he's squeezed every dollar out of that 93 a couple of weeks ago

 

[SELFCONFESDAFLNERD]

Butters and Parker > Hayes & T.Kelly

Don't quite have the cash for this so instead im going Scrimshaw > Answerth and Atkins > Telly. I'll keep Butters for the moment

Boak 100%, he is borderline must have now. Daniel junked it so much in the last quarter to get that score, also helped that he got like 3 x +6s in about a minute just from freo kicking it straight down his throat. Also, I'm more certain of Boak keeping his awesome role than I am of Daniel keeping his role. I was tossing up between Daniel vs Billings last week, they will be similar I think but Boak is on another level (with Danger)

 

[TheRednWhite]

With Cousins reported, Libba is now a hold. After the Parker to Billings upgrade last week, time for a double downgrade I think. Need to make bank for Whit and Crae in 3 weeks. Those celebrating Crae's low score and waiting for him to drop for 3-4 weeks will be disappointed. Has tigers this week and should go huge, so he won't drop much below 800k

 

[Pea Nut]

Who would you target first, Boak or Lloyd ?? And is it too soon to move on Scrimshaw??

Scrimshaw is looking good...he’s still not fit enough which is costing him but by round 9 or 10 he should be scoring 10-15 more points a game. I think he can average 75-80 and is a hold until after hawks bye.

I would go Boak over Lloyd this week.

 

[Ingy]

Atkins > Hayes

Daniel and cash

You need to upgrade quickly to fix your trading mistakes, the extra cash here could be the difference in a few weeks on getting gun options week after week, instead of slowing right down and needing to double downgrade to build a bank again, that's what the byes are for imo, smash out three trades a week there to complete your side

I think you'll need both players come seasons end though

Daniel is a must have Supercoacher too, his role seems permanent, just wish he had more protection when we don't have the footy.

I’m tempted by the cash which will help me get laird next week but not having boak is killing me..watching him literally run around with no man is doing my head in.

 

[Agechamp]

so far,

out - butters
settefield to mid bench

in - boak
drew to fwd bench

155k left

 

[Slipps]

Simpson > Boak via burgess
Parker > Hayes via setterfield
220k left to go towards bringing in Whitfeild in the coming weeks

But these trades leave me with a good looking Fwd line...

Danger Boak Kelly
Heeney Hoff Setterfield
Bench: Drew Balta

Brad, there's about 20 players everyone would want in their side but don't have

Simply impossible to get them all in at once

Work out your priorities first with your team then bring in best available/most feasible option. Not bothering to trade Milera/McCarthy last week was an example of neglecting a priority imo.

I would work on getting rid of your worst performing scorers/rookies/injured players off your field first rather than simply target the shiny new toy you don't have, like Sheed to Libba the best example of this that was totally unnecessary, it can wait. Anyone who will be a top performer in any position is best to bring in for said underperformer/weak spot on your field as you'll need them at season's end anyway.

Gotta think of the big picture in this game, not just chase last weeks points imo.

I agree in principal that you don’t bring players in at any cost, I’ve been undone in the past with paying top dollar, just to have that player.

However at 710k, Boak is still really good buying IMO. He’s got the cash and so it’s not like he’s forcing it by getting rid of Walsh or Constable early to fund it.

For the extra 100k, I think it’s a no brainer. Even if Boak does slow down, I still see him as a 15ppg better player than Daniels, and still a Monty for top 6, even top 3 Forward. On the flip side if Daniel slows down, even slightly he falls in that awkward range where you want an uograde.

While I agree Boak will outscore Daniel, I'm purely talking about Brads scenario in isolation here where he's already made a heap of trading mistakes this season in terms of trading out the wrong players for shiny new toys and being burnt by it, I think he has to better plan his trades first

That's all

Pretty sure he said if he gets Daniel in this week it means he'll be able to get a proven premo in Laird in next week

I'm taking that scenario every day of the week rather than Boak this week then no one next week/just downgrades or someone vastly inferior to Laird

I don’t buy into all this, his team being that bad, nor that he’s made a heap of trade mistakes either. Everything seems a little overstated when it comes to Brad.

Neale was brought at top dollar, he held out on Hore and chase him (every chance that still turns out to be the right correction too) and missed out on Ross because of it. There’s a lot worse than that going around, only have to look and the RnW thread.

The thing about Boak is he’s at a good price still. Look at the players around his price and see their averages. There every chance once the West Coast score rolls he ends up closer to 800k than 700k.

I don’t think it a case of getting Boak then he’s locked out of trading completely next week. Laird becomes harder but he’s still got 80k, Milera and a couple of decent looking downgard options.

I’d personally break the forward and defenders up like this.

Must have : Lloyd, Whitfield, Danger and Boak
Like to have : Stewart, Laird, Sicily Kelly, Billings?, Heeney.
Acceptables : Witherden, Salem, Newnes, Daniels etc there’s a lot I’m this group.

By not taking Boak at a fair price, your potentially painting yourself into a corner, we’re youll eventually have to pay whatever price he’s at to finish that line.

Myself personally, I’d be taking Boak this week, saving on Laird if needed next week for a Stewart, Witherden etc (to help fund Whitfield as Brad doesn’t have him) Then when it comes to upgrading my F5/6 you don’t need to pick Boak blindly, but can look for some value in that much larger acceptable group then.

 

[SloppyJoe]

If neither Cogs nor Whitfield get up this week I'll be in strife. I only brought Whitfield in 2 weeks ago (for Smith). That trade looks terrible in hindsight, but injuries are unpredictable. At least it's just a corkie.

On the Daniel/Boak debate, I think if you bring in Daniel you are betting on him becoming a keeper (which Boak clearly already is). You can't spend $600k on a player unless you are sold on him staying in your side.

The forwards are very iffy this season after the first 2-4. Danger and Boak heads above the rest. Then Kelly. I'd have Heeney next based on past consistency, even though he has others doing better so far this season. Billings is probably one more good game away from cementing a spot. I've been burned by him in the past so maybe I'm biased. F6 could be anyone.

Well said.. Simpson to Boak is a lock for me this week hes only gone 86k its now or never
