Trades 2023 Round 2 Trades

[Maybe Tomorrow]

First year player here. Had a decent score of 2130 to start the season.
I’m in a pretty good spot as I seem to have avoided the main carnage (other than Jelly), and didn’t miss many of the must-have picks.
Just wanted to ask what is so taboo about using a boost this early? Yes I understand that player prices don’t move for first 3 weeks and it may be better to use these trades for cash-gen, but if the trade makes your team a lot better could it not be argued that it’s just an aggressive move?

The boosts are seen as a good way to upgrade quickly ie, add more premo's. Using a boost you can do 2 downgrades and 1 upgrade in a week. Without using a boost it can be difficult to upgrade every week, as some times your rookies haven't gained enough value. Or you have to trade out an injured player.

That would be why people are hesitant to use them so early in the season.

If you feel like 3 trades will improve your team then do it. The risk is falling for what is known as "points chasing" or trading in a player that scored well last week, but won't necessarily keep it up like JHF or De Goey for example. Of course these players might keep going, only time will tell.

Who Dares Wins though.

Hopper via Gulden to Sheezel

Thinking of using the boost

Jones > Mckenna
Flanders > Chandler
Xerri > Witts

Fyfe owners:
If you plan to hold this week, why and what is your line in the sand for a trade-out?
Genuine question.
Understand that he has an OK draw in theory, but he was awful, thinking it's easier to just deal with him this week and be done with it.

 

[gutsroy]

Freo need to give him some mid time.
Even at least some CBA .

Wait and see .

Game in the balance, midfield was not firing, and JL didn't pick up the Flintstone phone once, mate.
Looks every inch a turkey, old Teen Wolf.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Bruhn > Sheezel
Clark > Daicos
Jones > Stocker

Gets one more chance to yappa yappa doo with a 150 avg vs North .
Unless dropped Freo page saying .

Put old Fred in the guts .bam bam .

Bruhn > Sheezel

Jones > Stocker

Just can't bring myself to trade in Stocker.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Bytel will probably get dropped for Seb Ross/Windhager

I have a feeling that Ross the boss has a bit of a liking for Bytel. It will be interesting to see.

LoL Stocker the posts about him .
Were gold .

 

[Judd_Magic]

Just can't bring myself to trade in Stocker.

There isn't much around Jones price.

Just need someone who can average 70 to plug the gap.

Unless I trade Laird for Sheezel via Bruhn and then trade Clark and Jones > Daicos and Ridley which would fix my backline up.

I think Jones might still work out ok. Best to put a line through the Melbourne game and it only affects his average for 1 week fortunately.

 

[Judd_Magic]

Have McKenna, was thinking about Cole but is he any better than Stocker?

Guess I'll see if he gets up first.

 

[Better Loosen Up]

I think i'm going to hold. The way he completely dismantled us in the practice match suggests he has decent scores in him.

Yeah I was all on trading him.

Constable.wilmont are more shaky than him.
The 50 K from him to mackenna would be nice .

But see on term sheets .
I'm expecting damages

Better JS me feels .

 

[Better Loosen Up]

Better JS me feels .

I have Cole. I liked the look of him on the weekend. Certainly looked better than your average deer in the headlights rookie

 

[Phoenix_9]

There's so much point chasing going on in this thread

Can't wait for that G-String Fyfe to absolutely burn everyone here by going huge against North and Spud Coast in the next couple weeks

Meanwhile JHF scores 78, Ridley 81, Callaghan 59, Naicos tagged for 68, whilst Bruhn, Flanders both ton up.

So so so true!
And yet, I’m still planning on doing it

You reckon he's better than Stocker?
