Operation Get Ablett

[Hands Open]

With my midfield slowly turning to sh!t (Bartel Stanton Mitchell Judd Palmer Boak) getting Ablett has for me moved from a want to a need.. With his price not even looking like slowing down im going to have to do something to get him soon..

I have 40000 in the bank and looking at downgrading either Boak or Palmer or possibly Stanton to a rookie to free up a shit load of cash and then turn Mitchell or Bartel into one Gary Ablett junior..

Depending on Gazza's break even this after this round i could well pick him up as soon as this week so what are peoples thoughts on this??

 

[sblack]

Ablett (145) + rookie (70) = 215
Bartel/Mitchell (Should be 110) + Boak/Stanton (80) = 190

Waste two trades for 25 points

Even though he is great simply for having confidence in your captain week in and week out you have missed the boat with this one. Is way too expensive to buy now and you would be crazy to do it. The only way he can really go is down from here I would wait a few weeks until his price (hopefully) comes down. Maybe consider Scott Thompson who would be over $100k cheaper

Yer good point.. Ive got Courteny Dempsey + Jamie McNamara sitting on the pine n could make the trade if Dempsey looks like hes over injury and scoring well and if Ablett slides a enough.. Thanks for that guys haha i was nearly going to jump the gun!

Anyone else gotten Ablett recently?

 

[JasRulz63]

I got him three rounds ago, was 680k or something. Upgraded him from Palmer. Downgraded Gamble to Morton to get him.

 

[IDIG]

Only in my dreams

[d4vE]

I got 2292 - bugger

Yeh I dropped Stevens for Ablett...lol

Did you win??

 

[Biggie]

Nope, I missed him in rnd 5 or so so I'll live with it.

Tough biccys they say.

 

[sens]

Guess who had him since the start? That's right, this guy (two thumbs pointing at me right now).

 

[Magpie Magic]

Picked him up two weeks ago when he was 698 k.

He will be about $744,100 this week.

Yeah but i will probable still get him, what do you think will be a better trade, Simmonds to Cox or N.Stevens to Ablett ?

 

[Impromptu]

I wonder if he'll reach $1,000,000?? what average does one have to get to reach $1,000,000? My guess is 200 sc per game...

Ah wish I had Goodes instead of Goodwin and Kirk instead of Mitchell (yes I know that's captain obvious comments)

 

[Kaan]

Protip: Don't pay 744k for jr.

 

[adam1302]

do you think he is gonna get cheaper anytime soon? Would Simmonds to Cox be a better trade in?

 

[IDIG]

Did you win??

lol yeah somehow i did..i think ill get 2nd lowest score for league with ray getting bottom

Get Cox, he's had 2 bad weeks he's price should drop. Who's your second ruckman?

 

[jamzee]

Ablett is a must, he single handedly adds 100 pts to ur team
i therefore am trading j king and M murphy to get him, i will have 2 rookie backs but its worth it, cuz it eliminated captain selection and will add me needed pts, im now a realistic shot at over 2100 every week and a shot at 2300 on really good weeks

Hey Impromptu, how many trades do you have left? You must have zero by now with getting ablett.

Very risky mate. A couple of serious injuries .ie. players gone for the year and your goose is cooked!

I still have no ablett but am saving my last three trades till just before finals. If I have no serious injuries by then, great, I will upgrade someone to Ablett or get a second ruckman or another gun defender. Only weak links in my team I reckon is no ablett, 7th defender as a rookie (taylor/womaeamerri) and iffy second ruck (krezer/griffin)

LOL yeh I have no more trades left, but if i lose any more games, my goose is cooked anyway (wadda never heard of that saying, is that like the chickens have hatched? lol)...but my first emergencies are as follows:

Armfied, Proud (dud)
Cotchin, Browne
Kreuzer, Leuenberger
Dew, Reid (dud, but scored a monster 80sc this week)

I don't mind if any of my first emergency starts..DEW is better than Fevolenko most weeks and COTCHIN is usually better than Priddis, Mitchell, definitely Kornes and Goodwin (I want to sack my entire midfield, the duds)

BTW I got Ablett the weekend Stevens only got 60s (so nice timing)..... and I scored 2292... my highest for the year...

I'm 2-7 so i'm going 'gung ho, giddy up, ride that pony (whatever that means).'

 

[Prosti_clarke who?]

its all about timing, u shouldnt pay over 700,000 for someone unless u got some in the bank... bout 3-4 weeks ago, i traded stevens/hall for steve johnson and ablett... But i had 100k in the bank... It basically comes down to what you have in the bank when trading at this time of year, when tryin to get in form blokes...

 

[d4vE]

dont pay over 700 for him. missed the boat now

 

[Biggie]

Correct.

Better off going for Cooney/Thompson/Hodge/Boomer/Bartel.

I missed him but shit happens when you live in the big city.
