Thanks mate! Sorry I didn’t get it in.

Stannett a must trade out for me.

 

[samFFC]

I think Scholz is a must trade. I was willing to back her in because I wasn't sure about Harris' role. H.Harris played mostly forward, but was then put into the midfield in the last quarter and increased her points then, but was doing poorly before. Not sure I could trust that role as my main ruck, but Scholz is just going to drop even more points. Will have to see if I can pivot to a decent ruck like Edmonds, Harrington, Wales or Morphett.

Yeh, I feel like it's too sideways to go Howley to Poustie, but Poustie is getting CBAs. Howley is on the wing.

She'll be dropped next week when Kearney is back won't she?

And yes if North don't win it will be a shocker based on their list and what we've seen so far.

On a separate note with 17 points to HT, what is happening with Toogood? 3 possessions...500k isn't bargain basement - hmmmm...

Toogood not too good. Feel like she is a trade out soon.

Can you do my trades next week?

I went Garner C this week over Noffy. Port are an easy matchup, and boy, do I love Jas Garner! Can't believe she went off for a rest with just under 3 minutes to go. She could easily play full foward, but with the way North were going, that wouldn't count as a rest because the ball was constantly up there.

I considered trading her down to someone else, or not starting her, but look at her ownership... and she has her favourite matchup GWS next week. She's still a ball magnet despite how badly Crows are playing.

 

[Ykla]

This shit is hard
My 3 trade ins for the week combined for 141 points and I've only scraped by more points than last week.

Couldn't get rid of Stannett last week, so she'll be first to go, albeit probably worth about 600k after tonights update.
Likely looking to do 2 forward, 1 def move within budget. So probably 1 high price forward/def, one rookie forward and hope for the best.

 

[dplggr47]

I get confused by the thread title. To me, this reads as next week's discussion since we're only in round 2. I'm probably reading it wrong though.

Freo have North next week, so the ball might not even be in her vicinity.

Birch > Rook
Scholz > Wales
Butler > Rook

 

[Vacuous Space]

Just saying a quick 'hello' to the new members of the Laura Stone owners club.

 

[Exambolor]

Charlie out and Butler out for certain

Third trade could be a rookie, gotta wait until lockout to get a clearer idea

 

[JADED]

Just saying a quick 'hello' to the new members of the Laura Stone owners club.

These were my trades Thursday morning, (was this or what I went with)

But really wanted to offload Scholz, and the extra money meant I could get Stannett to Goldsworthy, so her and Molloy looked a nice boost to the fwd line.
Could've had similar score for $600k left.
Still got $315k though, plus Kos/Dunlop cash gen for the week.

 

[Barrybran]

Stannett to Stone seems fairly obvious. My other trades are less obvious at this stage.

 

[Vacuous Space]

It's open

 

[Ykla]

Does Stannett to anyone become viable when she's down to 588k after losing another 124k this week?

Stannett to any rook that I can afford it is

?

 

[GrantSpatchcock]

Anyone got a read on Amber Clarke's game? Better TOG this week, but Saints were just demolished. A hold for this week, but the run gets tough after WC.

I've got Brown in Utility, so swapping her out for Stone seems the play, but buggered if I know what else I'm gunna do. Rentsch will have a high BE, but the Saints matchup could be nice.

Or I could just YOLO Tayla in...

Yup- this is discussion for trades ahead of next week’s round!

Tonon to Stone is $3k. Should be a popular move.

But, I could go all in (with $29k spare)

Might not do trade 3, as I have Harris R1 as a cash bridging move to Strom..

 

[Vacuous Space]

Amber's a hold for me. The role was still good, including midfield time, we were just completely outmatched. Another low score and you probably have to get rid of her ahead of the Hawks matchup. If you're sitting on enough cash to get her up to somebody more reliable, that would probably work too. I've got my eye on AOL, but can't get her in this week.

For the fabulously wealthy types, Woodland would be my #1 trade in target in the forward line. I won't have that kind of money until I can cash in Fish (should go over $1M next weekend).

 

[Shaunn]

What you guys think for the last trade? $396k + the player.

Options are

1: Scholz > Wales
or
2: Dunlop/Kos > McGrath

Second option could be good for cash gen but alot on the bench, will have to field Boyd/Rentsch for a few weeks till i can upgrade, but pretty happy with the rest of the team for now.

 

[JADED]

After what Norths mids did to Port, does this buy Rowbottom another week?

I like Tonon to Stone a lot better. Downgrading a premo (Zarlie) to upgrade other premos is rough.

I genuinely don't know what I would do if I had Rowbottom. I'm generally a back your premos guy, but given how bad GC has looked the first two weeks... Then again they play the same team that just allowed two midfield 150+ scores...

You couldn't have asked for much more out of Georgie.

 

[Vacuous Space]

Not looking at making any massive changes this week. Howley probably goes, not because she's bad or she's been bad, it just gives me the chance to bring in a little bit of cash. I can either take Howley down to Boyd directly or drop her to someone else and use some of the money to upgrade Ebert to Boyd (thanks again, Crock). Centra is interesting. I don't know if she got any CBAs, though. Poustie now costs more than Howley, so that's not an option anymore.

Can't really do anything interesting until I cash in Fish. Hurry up, Zippy.

 

[dplggr47]

After what Norths mids did to Port, does this buy Rowbottom another week?

Port play a more contested style game, so that might suit Rowbottom more, but with AFLW, the way to make money is to trade out players that are losing cash and buy into players making cash. So if that's the player you need to trade out to make it, then so be it. I don't think Rowbottom will be a top 5 mid by season's end, so you can trade her out, but who you trade her out to might not outscore her. She has a decent run for the next 3 weeks as well.

This move is insane... Zarlie is a top 5 forward and probably the #1 forward, but the top mids are better than the top forwards, so I see why.

How did you get dark mode on your AFLW fantasy page?

I wonder how much more McGrath will go up? Dunlop has a good ruck run coming up while McGrath has a tough one. Kos can go though.
