Round 8 Trades

[pincrusher]

Cant wait for dunkley to be banished to the fwd line in 2 weeks time.

Don’t say that, I’ve held him all year finally getting some rewards

Fair enough. If u still have him. I was tempted but too risky that bevo decides to plonk him back as a fwd for mine. Plus i already have 5 premo fwds need to upgrade elsewhwere now

If Bevo moves Dunks back to the forward line after that then he should be sacked immediately. By far their best performance of the year and it just happens to coincide with playing players in their best positions.

 

[Andrew Birch]

To be fair though .....that's been the negative on him at U18 level and last season ......so why have GEEL been giving him games??

Seems strange to raise what has always been the issue ......you and I discussed this last season

That was the knock on Michael Barlow his whole career, that he couldn't spread. Didn't stop him from becoming a very good player though.

Apart from Libba.

 

[Sydney Kicker]

Anyone considering a punt on Jack Darling? Be keen to hear from Eagles fans.

 

[pincrusher]

Apart from Libba.

Didn't see the game but read/ heard he spent time both forward and tagging Dusty. Perhaps they are going to use him for run with roles moving forward? Gone for me this week though.

Forward early then midfield but seemed to be on the bench alot.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

After the horrid round that we've had, the projected scores are way too high

Yep. Take your projected and minus 200 straight away. Should be a bit closer.

Upgrading Libba and it’s a toss up between Fyfe v Gaff. Who will average more for the year?

Fyfe IMO.

Matter of fact is they have too many mids and there is no reason he cant develop thatside of his game at afl level. He misses out due to weight of numbers because there is no way that clark has been playing at afl standard compared to constable. Good for us but he has been carried a bit and still way off apart from glimpses.

 

[vast]

At the moment i've changed to

Libby/Drew to Mundy/Daniel

If Danger is out i'm going to dump him instead of Drew

Pies should rest him just to be sure since they're only playing Carlton and all.

Yeah I mentioned that yesterday. Won't be surprised if they rest him anyway. Carlton forwards aren't exactly instilling fear into opposition teams at the moment. I won't be trading if he's out as I have cover, and he still has more money to make.

 

[Andrew Birch]

Upgrading Libba and it’s a toss up between Fyfe v Gaff. Who will average more for the year?

Minus the game where he was concussed Fyfe is averaging 126.7 which ranks him #3 overall only 1 ppg less than Cripps #2

 

[pincrusher]

If Answerth, Hately and Balta (fwd bench cover for Danger in case he's a late out) are all named, I'm locking in the double downgrade.

Clark to Answerth
Libba to Hately (it's literally an upgrade, forward pocket trash to a genuine mid)

$452,100 in the bank for either 1 big upgrade with some leftover coin, or a double upgrade and spend every last cent

Some options I'm looking at:
-Drew to Westhoff & Atkins to MCrouch
or
-Duursma to Lloyd
or
-Atkins to Neale or Fyfe or Bont
or
-Duursa to Whitfield & Drew to Jezza Cameron

As long as I don't get a LTI, I can't wait to go on a shopping spree next week!!!

I'd be crossing M Crouch off that list if I were you. 39 touches on the weekend and still couldn't crack the ton, despite only having two clangers.

Upgrading Libba and it’s a toss up between Fyfe v Gaff. Who will average more for the year?

Fyfe by plenty. Obviously has the associated injury risk, but he’ll comfortably average 10+ more than Gaff imo.

 

[stevebbb]

I'd be crossing M Crouch off that list if I were you. 39 touches on the weekend and still couldn't crack the ton, despite only having two clangers.

Still averaging 107 though, he has a great bye for my team and he's very cheap.

I only have 4 genuine mid premos at the moment (Libba just traded out, Sheed is going in his round 13 bye, Walsh is going in his bye) so I can afford to bring in one, maybe even 2, $500k-$550k mids

 

[Here2tellyouwhy]

Down to 5 Rookies on field, if we're still classifying Walsh as a rookie .......one less this week & done a Judd_Magic special

Welcome back Josh D

Whoever started this bullshit should be made to post puppies

I remember thinking the same thing last season in Rd's 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and damn it I'm all out of trades and couldn't even afford him if I did because he costs more than all my forwards and most of my mids FML.

 

[Pocket Aces]

MCrouch in Top 10 Mids for average and total points, boring but will bring enough big games to go with the 100s and 90s to be worthwhile.

 

[AFDogs]

People who traded out Dunkley shouldn't be allowed to bring him back

Us who stuck with him should reap the benefits - it was only a matter of time before he became a permanent mid again

 

[Mofra]

Thinking J Clark > Answorth

Then will watch if Hately is named as Zac Butters has stopped mooing as well.

Where is Dark Sharks when you need him
