Re: Round 17 Trades

Time to thin out the bench and take some risks.
Krak > Talia
Heppell > Swan
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

Damn you Shaw, why did you have to get yourself rubbed out for 8 weeks (and conveniently back in time for the finals :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:)


Backline players have been CRAP this year, but I think I still need to go with the best available for a replacement, so it will be


Shaw -> Newman

It will leave me with 3 trades and a line up of


Deledio, Fisher, Gibbs, Newman, Goddard, Enright, Lower
Puopolo, Jacobs, Strauss

Ablett, Pendlebury, Judd, Swan, Cotchin, Bartel
Hibberd, Smith, Mzungu

Cox, Smith
J. Tippett, Keeffe

Pavlich, O'Keefe, Goodes, Petrie, Yarran, N. Riewoldt, Howe
Franklin, Rioli, T. Lynch
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

Geebus.

Money no object, team largely done, and Heath Shaw has to prove what a massiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive idiot he is.

So of the top-scoring defenders out there:

Fisher - got him
Scotland - bye in finals
Goddard - got him
Deledio - got him
Shaw - moron who needs to be replaced
Gibbs - got him
Newman - got him
Enright - bye in finals
Suckling - got him
then Birchall & Broughton...

WTF do I do? Swing for the fence with Scotland? Get Enright and hope I don't have to play in week 2 (a possibility)? Are Birchall and Broughton worth getting excited about?

If the bye in the finals is a big deal, get Broughton. No bye left is good news.
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

Need to downgrade a defender to get some cash. Who has the most job security out of Hooper and Talia? Or someone I may have overlooked...
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

I currently have 12 trades left.

Thinking..
Duigan -> M.Watson
and either
I.Smith -> N.Fyfe/ROK
J.Darling ->N.Fyfe/ROK

Thoughts?

My team so far.. With Hawks on bench..

Deledio, Gibbs, Newman, Goddard, H.Shaw, Heppell, Lower
(Duigan/Hibberd/L.Thompson)

Ablett, Swan, Judd, Boyd, Montagna, A.Swallow
(Mzungu/Pittard/Bewick)

Cox, Z.Smith
(Lobbe/M.Bailey)

Pavlich, Goodes, J.Roo, N.Roo, Sylvia, Howe, Darling
(I.Smith/Franklin/I.Callinan)

Thanks in advance for any feedback! :)

Hey, team's in good shape, especially considering you've got 12 trades left!

After looking up some numbers I think I'd go with Smith > Fyfe as the upgrade. As with an earlier poster you're still looking at multiple upgrades so getting value for money is important. I've got ROK and been happy with him but his price is very high at the moment and Fyfe with a higher avg is 25k cheaper and no byes. The reason I say Smith instead of Darling is merely that he's probably reached his peak in terms of price. Also, when the hawks get back players he may sit out where as Darling seems to be in the Eagles best 22.

Also, Watson seems a popular inclusion this week but I'd be looking at Talia only because even with injuries the Blues have waited a long time to give Watson his 3rd game.

That's all just my opinion though, good luck with whatever you decide!

Barring a monumental form slump, i can't see Smith being displaced. He gives us that run and carry which few others do. Capable of knocking out some great scores too.

I'd definitely be turning Darling > Fyfe of those options.
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

Thanks for the quick response eth. I was leaning the same way with the Doggies coming into form, which may lead to youngsters being dropped towards the end of the season. Holding off a week from bringing in a defender for Shaw so I can get Suckling. Newman is tempting with the Gold Coast this week, but Hawthorns draw in the long run looks much better.
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

Shaw > Newman
Krak > Pav

4 trades and $173k left, hopefully no more forced trades so I can upgrade Boak in a week or two.

B: Deledio, Gibbs, Fisher, Newman, Goddard, Broughton, Adcock (Puopolo, Jacobs, Toy)
M: Pendles, Boyd, Priddis, Swan, Boak, Montagna (Iles, Hibberd, Mzungu)
R: Cox, Smith (Lobbe, Tippett)
F: Pav, Fyfe, Goodes, Sylvia, Petrie, N. Riewoldt, Franklin (Dahlhaus, Lynch Richardson)

Re: Round 17 Trades

Have him, no trades. Heater, you're a w***er. :thumbsdown::eek:

I'm Gawnskies for good now.

I know right? After my big spiel a couple of pages back about upgrading Krak etc lucky i didn't pull the trigger! Lucky for me everyone in my league except for the bloke on tap has him too.
This week:
H.Shaw(Serioulsy not the sharpest tool in the shed I don't reckon) > Newman
And then use my last 7 trades as wisely as possible(hope for the best)
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

Shaw > Broughton.

Best of the available options for one trade.

I know this will haunt me, but his lack of a bye and decent recent form pushed him over the line. Hopefully he will get lots of midfield time.
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

Shaw to who?

Backline as it currently stands - Deledio, Goddard, Gibbs, Shaw, Suckling, Broughton, Heppell, Lower, Puopolo, Cripps.

4 trades left. Considering Shaw > Talia which means I can upgrade Heppell, or Yarran in my forward line.
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

Shaw to Newman/Fisher... don't want Scotland because of the Round 23 bye and I've already got to cover Judd and Gibbs.
 
Re: Round 17 Trades

Okay just looking for a bit of convincing over this trade as I feel it could pay off in the short term but hurt later on.

Sandi > Keeffe

Now this would leave me with $584,600 and 4 trades. It makes sense that to avoid wasting trades doing One down/one up, I could use my remaining 4 trades for huge upgrades/sideways, instead of finding low priced players that I won't need for cover or cashing in.

My ruck combo would be Cox, Smith (Bailey, Keeffe)

Would you do it?
