Round 8 Trades

[MrChristo]

Rich break even - 74.88

And I suspect he will get it...

Anyone a Medical Student here (or better still, a full blown doctor/sports scientist?!)...

...how is someone expected to bounce back from a dislocated shoulder?

Seems so wrong 'upgrading' someone (effectively) av'ing over 110, but carrying Cockie's 40/50 along for the ride for 2-3-4 weeks is going to hurt...esp. if Salopek doesn't return to his fast starting self.

With enough $ for a straight swap for anyone (except Ablett) I'm currently a bit confused...

 

[ed don]

It's only 74 because there's two 50ish scores in his three week average. Next week his B/E will be low even if he only score 60-70.

Of course, if you don't think he will score that you probably should trade him. I think he has more upside, personally.

 

[skepper]

whats peoples view on getting cooney or goodes i can upgrade whitecross with my extra cash to either

 

[BIGANT]

Petrenko >> Petterd = 40,000k in the kitty. I could'nt carry Petrenko any longer; he had to go.
Other question marks also include Krakouer = C. Rioli....Thoughts please; that would give me a fwd line of Pav, SJ, Gia !?, Higgins, Rioli, Del, M. Brown - Macaffer/ Yarran emg's.

Four other queries i'm certainly entertaining upgrades for are Hill/Suban (rookies) Malceski (dud)...but a little hamstrung at the mo as i'm trying to conserve trades....Thoughts/Advice please. 13 trades remaining

Goodes break even is 122, wait till next week to complete the Rich to Goodes trade. He is unlikely to score 122, will drop slightly and be ripe at 470-480k or so. Goodes starts slow every season... known for it. He also has missed one game in like 7 years!! I'm not confident about Cooney's fitness.

 

[NT.Thunder]

Maybe Krak 2 Sidebottom and Rich to Cooney.

Following week Otten - Ablett

Mids will be Ablett, Bartell, J. Selwood, N.Dalsanto,Power, Cooney

Maybe

Krak has a high BE for him so may be time to cash in

With a BE of 85 vs Melbourne Cooney's price this week is the lowest it will be all season. He is fine, just needs some more game time. Get on now or choose someone else

 

[abs_of_STEELE]

Rich-->Cooney
Mackay-->Power

I want to get Ablett back in my side so I'm gonna go with 2 cheaper "guns", or atleast better than my current two players, so I can afford to get Gazza back in.

My mids after these trades will be...
Sewell, Judd, Gibbs, Cooney, Power, Otten

and then I hope to do Otten-->Ablett in 4-5 weeks time. Which will be my last upgrade unless I decide to trade Krak aswell.

 

[OneEyedHawk]

I've got holes everywhere, but really want to bring in Cooney this week. Am thinking (maybe) Beams > Rookie, then Rich > Cooney. Problem is I have only 16 trades left, and blokes like Petrenko and Malceski stinking up my team.

Be interested in thoughts on whether I should do the above, or save my trades to plug some holes in my woeful backline.

B: Fisher, Goddard, Gilbee, Cornes, Malceski, Hill, Petrenko (Cheney, Broughton)
M: Ablett, Judd, Selwood, Foley, Haselby, Rich (Dangerfield & Beams)
R: Petrie, Tippett (Jacobs & Spencer)
F: Riewoldt, Pavlich, SJ, Deledio, Roughead, Higgins, Ziebell (Walker & Brown)

Secondly because i seriously doubt that Rich has peaked. He may have lost $ this week and he may do so again next week, but with his current avg he is still predicted to reach 400k+.

There are several people looking at trading out Rich this week, whereas 3 weeks ago most people were thinking of keeping him for the whole year. Personally, im not off the Rich bandwaggon just yet. (feel free to disagree).

Damn you and your logical, sense-making post!

I think most people around here would kill for 16 trades! I think that one or two trades wouldn't hurt you. Malceski has to go, Petrenko and Cheney are questionable, and I would be upgrading your rucks too.

would you recommend NOT using Rich as the means to get Ablett back in a couple of weeks?

I was going to do Cash + Rich + Dangerfield >> Ablett + rookie

Should I look to sacrifice a cash cow somewhere else instead? Suban, for example?

 

[wheels4]

That's a great midfield

Do you mind me asking if you have gaps somewhere else ... ie, have you focussed on your mids specifically?

Yeah always liked to have a good midfield.

My forwards are average and my rucks are crap but once i get this one done my midfield is complete.

Ill be fixing up my forwards in next couple of weeks and rucks soonish

Yeah, on the surface 16 trades is OK, but I've got holes everywhere. Got Petrenko & Malceski to upgrade, gotta upgrade at least one ruck, upgrade Rich, find some playing back coverage etc. Hill I'll have to do also eventually, he's going well but is no keeper, ditto Ziebell. I can cop a rookie in my backs and forwards, but the one spot I want all keepers is mids...so that means Foley & Hase will eventually get the chop too. And then there's injuries.

So with all that in mind, should i still do Beams > Rookie, then Rich > Coondog??

 

[bomba4eva]

Help!

Jack Reiwoldt is busy haemorraging and is an urgent trade OUT I feel. With $500k in the bank I can upgrade him to Nick Reiwoldt this week.

I'd still have over $200k and could do Rick --> Conney.

But I want to trade Malceski out possibly for Grimes.

I have Houlihan and Bock in defence with no cover though.

What should I do? Is Cooney's price going to rise drastically next week?

I would this week only because Cooneys time is now. However, after this round you should concentrate on your backs. Enright and Newman are good prices at the moment. I think Enright will drop a bit in coming weeks too

not sure on jacks break even or price, i would probably sure up the defence first, Nick Riewoldt is at a premium price at the moment. Maybe trade malceski for grimes, or just upgrade houlihan if he doesnt play this week. I will be planning on bringing Nick Riewoldt into my side but hoping his price may go down at some point!

 

[jimbob7085]

If it meant dropping to 11 trades before round 8, I'd sit tight if I had that team. Rance, Rich & Suban still have more $ to make and 2 of them aren't injured, which is a bonus in itself.

Power & Cooney are cheap and appealling right now but I'd save the trades because it looks like you can fill 22 spots this week and are pretty well placed, considering the spate of injuries around the place. There'll always be a couple of good players going cheap in any week I reckon.

Up to you though!

 

[adii_7]

making two trades...

incomes selwood for griffen

incomes dal santo for beams...

week after

macaffer for Riewolt

rich for yAblett

Thanks for the feedback! I'm just a bit worried about griffens scoring ability at the moment. If he comes any good I reckon hell be extremely inconsistent while rich has plenty of upside and potential and seems consistent for a rookie.

 

[smashh]

16 trades left with 1 this week after saying f--k it and going Didak to Stevie J. Already have Grimes but want to get rid of Malceski. Also want to get rid of T Tuck, but only have about 30k left

 

[bomba4eva]

You raise a few good points. I want to keep Houlihan because I only traded in the bastard 3-4 weeks ago. More of a pride thing as Ii'd hate to have completely wasted a trade on that spud. And even if he comes back I've realised the softco*k could get dropped at any time during the year. With Bock out and no cover I may have to get rid of Hhoulihan before Malceski because at least Nick is playing.

Perhaps Houlihan for Grimes leaving me with $750k in the bank?

I'm not sure what sort of a player Grimes is? Is he the perfect SC player that will get cheap kicks behind the play and maintain his spot in the team?

R: Petrie, Tippett (Jacobs & Spencer)
F: Riewoldt, Pavlich, SJ, Deledio, Roughead, Higgins, Ziebell (Walker & Brown)

Tippett needs an upgrade in due course - however, he doing okay I guess....Petrenko needs to go, but wait for Hodge.....Problem with 16 trades...ROFL....

14 trades left with $400, rank 2994

B - 6 premiums + Hill (Dawson, Greenwood)
C - Ablett, Bartel, Goodes, Power, Ziebell, Otten, (Rich, Beams)
R - 2 premiums (2 popular donkeys)
F - Goodwin, Duddy, Fev, Higgins, Krakouer, Walker, MaCaffer (M.Brown, Houlihan)

Rich ---> Cooney (cheap) /Judd (gun)
Houlihan ---> Sidebottom

I assume this is the standard trade, everyone agree? Judd or Cooney? I think most will say my midfield is okay, but everyone in my league has 5 premiums and I'm sick of Rich giving me his 40s-70s (yes, he is a rookie).

Note: I don't consider Hill and Ziebell/Otten keepers - so 3-4 trades required for last backman and midfield. The underlines players will have to be upgraded.

Are Higgins and Krakouer keepers?

 

[Rhino5]

I have to decide what I'm going to do with Hodge. I'm tempted to trade him down to Gilbee and use the cash saved to upgrade Tippett, who I think has peaked, to either Sandilands or Petrie (any opinions?). But if I have 22 playing (Houlihan and Broughton would have to be named for that to happen), then I would be relucant to trade Hodge, especially if he might be back in a couple of weeks. The other thing is that I was a bit wary of Gilbee before the season started and don't want to fall into the trap of just getting someone on name value because they're cheap.

Having said that, Hodge's price is still going to drop pretty dramatically you would think and I'm not sure he's certain to regain his best SC form.

I think it is a good idea getting Gilbee, but getting rid of Hodge is an iffy.

Hodge is an animal...playing while injured and 1st tagged yet scores okay (not great, but still okay).
