If you had both GAJ and J Selwood... who would you keep?
Both with similar BE's and Exp $ Drop..
Ive got both plus Parker.
Gaz clearly not right no-one knows when he will be 100% and smashing out 130's + again.

Why would you even consider trading Selwood? His B/E is irrelevant unless he's playing injured (which he isn't) or you now think that he's not a top 5 mid anymore based on 2 below par scores while some other premo's starting with 2 high scoring rounds. None of the guys averaging 120+ ATM other than Fyfe will average that for the year. Last year between Rd's 5-7 Selwood scored 83, 82, 93 then after that mini slump, he averaged 133.8 for the rest of the season. In 11 games he scored 138+ points FFS.

I've got Parker, who's also had a poor start due to 2 concussions affected scores (98 & 78) and now has a B/E of 165 and will lose almost 30k in $ value even if he tonnes up this week. I'm not about to trade him out because he's going to lose $ value in the short term though, because he's still a gun who will bounce back.
 
PLEASE HELP ME ON THIS ONE, Im sure most of us are faced with the Gaz conundrum...
What would you do with this team? Trying to climb the overall ranks (currently 27,000ish)

Which of the 2 following do I focus on?
1. trade out Gaz to a top Premo Mid/Fwd (I like Shiel, Sloane, JPK, Treloar, Jack, Buddy, Pavlich)
2. bring in cashcows NVB or VDBerg for Cripps (I have all of the cheap Cashcows bar these 2, and I view Shiels, Docherty and McDonald as $50,000 cashcows next week anyways.....)
3. upgrade Goodes to Savage/McDonald/Doc in the backline
4. bring in Goldstein in the ruck

Capital Letters indicate players Im convinced I need to move......

Shaw, Lumumba, Newnes, Saad, Oxley, McIntosh (Brown, GOODES)
ABLETT (?), Fyfe, Wines, Dangerfield, Rich, Beams, Heaney, Ellis-Yolman (Miller, Smith, CRIPPS)
Bellchambers LEUENBERGER (Cox)
Bont, Gray, TexW, Swan, Bennell, Hogan (MClarke, McGrath)

I would prob keep cripps only played one game hopfully he plays and gets 80 plus to moo.
Smith and Miller unsure if they will stay in the team and get mooing,both have scored shit so far at the current rate wont make much.

Should be able to go gaz to jpk/sloane and miller or smith to NVB who will make some good coin.
OR go gaz to pendles and miller/smith to Sinclair -23 b/e and if starts playing full games will moo better than miller/clem.
IMHO.
 
Thoughts on Gaz to:
Pendles
Sloane
Shiel

Obviously money leftover is a big factor. Midfield is currently Ablett, Fyfe, Selwood, Kennedy, Lewis, Rookies
 
The two-time Brownlow medallist has been clearly carrying his shoulder at times in the Suns' opening two games of 2015, but Larkins said the former Cat's recovery would not necessarily be fast-tracked by rest.

"Clearly Gary is being hampered in his range of motion and is experiencing some pain in the reconstructed shoulder, and that's because he's got stiffness and inflammation," Larkins said.

"I reckon he's at about 70 per cent of where he needs to be in terms of strength and in terms of his ability to tackle and get tackled.

"We've seen him playing with one arm which shows what a good player he is, but it will take a lot more time (to get back to full strength).

"He could take two or three weeks off and the pain will go down, but he'll still be stiff, so as he said he'd rather play through the pain.

"There is a risk with him continuing to play that he will get more inflammation and therefore will have less movement as time goes by, so it's not always going to get better with time if he keeps playing."

Okay....sorry, here goes.....

$100k spare ATM

Gaz --> Sloane/JPK/Shiel
Leunberger --> Goldstein
$40,000 cash spare after trade

Gets me 2 proven Keepers for a damaged Ablett and a wanna-be ruck in a terrible Lions team

Pendles for a proven performer, Sloane for an up and coming gun who scores big when his side wins and it looks like his side will be winning alot this season, Shiel for a smoky who has all the tools of being a great player.

Reckon he could easily post a 120 average this season, only went under 100 three times last season, wins a shitload of contested possessions and is in a contending side. Pendles is a gun but his team is shit, will probably carry them but Sloane presents more value.

Yes, Sloane could average 120 even though he's never done it before, whereas Pendles has averaged 124+ in each of the previous 4 years. No contest for mine, even in a shit Collingwood team.

Much better. I'd take Sloane for mine. Good trades.

Pendles could also fall away considering he hardly has a supporting cast around him and Collingwood has a habit of "resting" their guns in shit seasons when they don't have much to play for. The $50k odd difference could be significant, could be the difference between getting a Bontempelli or a spud like Taylor Adams in your forward line.

Agree to disagree on that. He's capable of carrying their rabble on his own IMO.
 
I reckon we have a new champion! Step aside Judd_Magic, your Roughead -> Zorko sequence of trades has been trumped by Jiska's sequence of trading out Martin trades!

Nah I'm still the master with my Roughead > Zorko and then Caddy > Roughead trades.

Jiska is just an apprentice. LOL!
