I had approximately $450,000 remaining in the salary cap after selecting my squad at the start of the season.
Before trading after rd 1, my backline had N. Suban and S. Hill as starters due to A. Raines being injured and T. Collier being dropped.
My midfield had M. Robinson and D. Rich as sarters due to T. Tuck being injured and L. Anthony being injured (before rd 1)
This early in the season it is important to trade players that will go up in value by round 3.
I was happy to have M. Robinson and D. Rich as starters in my team but I wanted an emergency in case one of them got injured. I'm happy that both will retain their spot in their respective teams. I'm unsure of T. Tucks length on the sidelines but he was one of best buys in my team at the start of the season. He was the 4th highest scorer in my team in rd 1 and I don't want to trade him. I'm going to back my newcomers. I traded L. Anthony for P. Dangerfield as L. Anthony is out for up to 6 weeks with an injury. P. Dangerfield will go up in value by rd 3. Another reason I did this was that Neil Craig has backed his young midfielders the past few years (think.. Knights, Van Berlo, Vince). I am happy that Dangerfield will retain his place in the Adelaide side. So, I have M. Robinson, D. Rich and P. Dangerfield to fit into my last two midfield spots in my team until T. Tuck comes back.
So, with approximately $450,000 remaining in my salary cap I thought it was a good idea to use this money.
My backline had S. Hill and N. Suban as starters. Emergencies were A. Raines (injured for about 4 weeks) and T. Collier (may not get back into the Brisbane side). I wasn't happy with S. Hill and N. Suban as my last two starters in my backline for the next month (until A. Raines comes back). Firstly, S. Hill and N. Suban are named in the extended Fremantle interchange andin th both not guaranteed a game this weekend. Secondly, I wanted to buy more gun defenders in my team than any other position. I believe there are a limited number of consistently supercoach performers in the AFL. I traded T. Collier for S. Fisher (gun defender). I have S.Hill and N. Suban as an emergency and can swap these two as I please until Raines comes back from injury.
So, there you have it
P. Dangerfield for L. Anthony and
S. Fisher for T. Collier
with $78,400 left in my salary cap
Do you think I did the right thing?
