Geez, unless you're keen on the $50K is it really that much of an issue? Harvey has been shown to be a gun.

Leon scored 30 against the Pies in the NAB final. If he goes missing again and Harvey has a blinder against a side he likes, then please - no tears here...

Unless you are absolutely flying, don't do it. Even then, don't.

There's nothing wrong with using a couple of trades to take advantage of BE's after round 2, or if your side is ravaged with injury. I'd be careful not to be too conservative.

However, I don't think anyone should have used more than 2 trades before round 5 or 6 when cash cows can really start to be utilised.

I will have used 2 trades

1 last week and the 1 this week

I was just using this discussion to state what i was doing, if it turns out to be a bad move, then i'll have to live with the consequences. Harvey might score 150 this week and GAJ might score 100, so be it.

Its always nice to hear different opinions and that is what BF is for
 
i'm keeping harves...he will come good....i'm gunna loose 200k between harves and roo but you'll make it back if you have the right rookies and i have 6 rookies going up this week so i think i've got it covered...

as has been said, he'll whip out a 140 as soon as you trade him!

Ok most of us have come up with trading out Boomer this week before his price drop. done deal. But the big question is which way do you go - do you take another veteran in Richo who could end up with the same problem you have already or do you go with Stevie J or a leon Davies. difficult decision

You would definately keep Harvey as the chances are good that Leon Davis,Stevie Johnson and Didak are prone to having a few bad games just as Harvey has so its pointless doing the sideways trade.About the only forward that i can see being consistant all year is Richo because even when he plays bad he can still give a reasonable score but i already have him and i can see no one else in the forward line that is worthy of a trade for Harvey
 
Boomer was never going to live up to his price early on. No point trading him now though - most of the 'gun' forwards in the 500k + range have as many question marks as he does.
 
im starting to think maybe boomer is the way for me to go captain wise. its a massive risk.. but.. he is a champion player with a lot of pride. his gunna wanna go out there this week and get 40 odd possesions.

lets not get carried away. Keeping him is one thing, making him captain is another.

No thanks i will stick with Ablett as captain
 
Another couple of options stirring around in my head:

Keep Harvey and upgrade Adcock to Waite (which only uses 1 trade) hence giving me another premium and 1 less upgrade to do in future. Adcock will hover around the price he is now if he averages 80-85 for season, whereas Waite is about to jump in price. In this case i'm without Ablett. uses 1 trade

I can trade Harvey to Ablett leaving me with about 80K in the bank- uses 1 trade. I end up with Ablett and a certain captain choice, with the 80K i also have the option to upgrade Adcock to a possible keeper in: Johncock, Lockyer or Fletcher (who i think is too old to keep a good average)

any thoughts?

Yeah.

Why didnt you have Gary at the beginning? :)

Cos i'm an idiot?

I'm thinking: Boomer to Gaz, Adcock to Lockyer

Then i only have 5 players onfield that need upgrading, possibly 6

My 7th back (cheney at this stage)
Otten
Rich
Krakeour
Skippy
Higgins maybe
 
I must admit I have been adamant on keeping Harvey around here for the last week, but have thought hard about it for the past 24hrs and have done a complete about face... Goodbye Boomer
 
Yep goodbye Boomer in Richo and now upgraded Raines to Burgoyne. Hoping for the best.

Itchy fingers lads? :)

What happens if he scores 130?

yeah so what if he scores 130, his value will still drop $50k. I'm showing him the door this week, trade in stevie j as they will be roughly the same value next week. IMO i think one trade is worth $130k in my bank, plus i'll be getting a player in MUCH better form (not that you could call Harvey's play "form")
 
Biggie said:
Lol.

Do what you must.

A premium isnt brought into the side to make cash or hold at a steady price. :)

Good luck with it.

lol

spot on Biggie. If boomer drops 100k it doesn't worry me at all he isn't there to make me money....cash cows and mid priced players fill that role.

I'm confident he'll make back any lost cash in the long run when he starts posting some juicy scores (I can sense it'll be this week :thumbsu:).

For mine trades are like gold and gun to gun sideways trading is not and never will be part of my long term plan (exception LTI).
