Round 20 Trades

[Faz 2000]

Right. So either you're loaded up on trades and are improving your team during a week off or, like me, you dropped your bundle in week 1 and now need to go the long way through some Semis.

None of my team has bruised their brain or crashed their car while drunk and then lied about it this week, so should have the full lineup to choose from.

Alas, that lineup includes Jason Akermanis and Graham Johncock, who are looking unspeakably terrible.

My current vision is to sell Troy Simmonds, play Kreuzer in his place (maybe lose ~12 points there) and use $300k profit to upgrade someone, probably one of the afore-mentioned disasters.

Who and to who?

Stiffy to Goddard and pocket some cash, on the off-chance I HAVE another game?

Aker to Riewoldt, spend every cent I've got but complete the Brown-Buddy-Pav-Roo big forward set?

Go for the fence and turn Cotchin into Hodge?

Who are YOU trading this week and why?

Hmmm, if I were you I'd do Cotchin to Hodge. Aker to Roo second.

I'm not trading this week... because I used my last trades last week. Week off anyway... Milburn and Chapman hopefully to return to give me my best 22 starting.

 

[occy437]

I'd trade Cotchin to Hodge, Hodge has averaged 124 since coming back from his Hammy....

For myself this week, I still have 3 trades left and $380,000 left. No games this week, won both finals so have the week off.

Will keep everything the same as I have a full team playing depending on Chapman.

Next week for the prelim I will trade out Dalziell for Ablett as both of these are going the right direction this week. Dalziell UP Ablett DOWN.

will be interesting, possible further upgrades are Kreuzer, McMahon, Gram, N.Stevens, S.Black, A.Cooney.

these are all wishful, will probably need the trades for injuries.

 

[Ling Sting]

I won't be making any trades unless my hand is forced due to NDS or Aka getting dropped.

With just 1 trade left and very little cash I just have to place faith in the players I have.

 

[C-Dog]

3 trades left with 154k and am playing in the semi this week.

figured out my trades last night
out: palmer, shaw
in: kirk, pratt

leaving me with 1 sideways trade before the prelim or grand final.

think i will instead downgrade tippett and get the best mid and back available.

can virtually afford anyone

thinking of going hodge and newman/goddard.

backs: gilbee, milburn, roughead, birchall, shaw, fisher, ibbotson (hansen, wilkes)

mids: ablett, bartel, selwood, stevens, cooney, palmer. (browne, dalziell)

would be interesting to hear who other people would put in, 1 back and 1 mid??

 

[stephen22]

1 trade left
stevens to hodge
chappers to roo
or just say chappers is back what do you think of tippet to aker?

 

[shiny_on_top]

Am thinking of going Porps > Vespremi and Palmer > Hodge.
Is it worth using last two trades on that or just upgrade Palmer for Cooney? And save one for injuries??
Plus is it better to go Porps > to one of the 83000 ones leaving only EMG in forward Tippet who may not play. And then go Cotchin > Hodge and have PAlmer EMG???
Thoughts would be great

 

[Spudregus_87]

Two trades left with $233,000
Here are what i think are my best options:
1) Wona --> Ladson AND Porps --> Any forward under $487,000 (Richo/BJohnson/Roughy)
2) Wona --> McLeod AND Porps --> Any forward under $440,300 (Roughy/Medhurst/Rob Murphy)
3) Wona --> Newman AND Porps --> Any Forward under $398,100 (Rob Murphy/Hall/Aka)
I've decided not to touch my midfield, despite the presence of Palmer and Lockyer. The week off seems to have done Palmer good and with Shaw and Didak out, Lockyer's scores should improve (i'll be happy with 75+ each week).

So guys, 1, 2 or 3 AND which forward????

Newman (safe bet) & Hall (some risk but with huge potential)

Steer clear of Aka - could be playing for Willy yet.

Option 2 would be Ladson and Richo IMO.

Good luck

$76400 in the bank

I absolutely died last wek.... about 400 below avergae

4 trades remaining
Easy league.
But with 2 toughies


This week got a cousin.. av's 1700.. so i should win....
then week after i have th persno who is vying with me for winning... thats the grandfinal prettymuch.. then whoever wins gets an easy match the following week.


Lost last week... op had 4 best game of season.. i had my worst

doughnuts - Milburn and Chapman,.

Both are coming back? i know milburn is.. but chappy?...

Apart from making a few idiot decision.. last round gibbs to ablett... ablett goes dpown 77k and gibbs goes up 35k... i loose 100k and loose the match because of it...

Anyway..

Im thinking Brown... cos i ahve the trades.. tis my first year and this is just an inside family.. so i need to keep my pride...

Brown is slowing down.. isn't going to much training.. i feel like taking the risk

My defenders are the weakest: Gilbee 58 Bock 69 Gram 89 Milburn 0 Bowden 69 Wilkes 56 Selwood 34... both selwood and wilkes are


Very week.. gilbee, bowden i expected heaps better

BOwden was my trade last week and he scored 69

Im thinking of removing selwood and putting in mcleod (who i had earlier but got rid of when he was injured)..... b ut to do that i need to downgrade brown..

Are there any ok foawrds who are cheap... then i might go and up selwood to mcleod or okeefe....

Wirrpanda, bradshaw.... hmm..

Any cheap fwds or backs?

thanks

Cheers Clunk You too mate

mmmm, being a richmond supporter myself, im inclined to go with the ladson/richoman combo....given both hawthorn and richmond's run home...

my only concern: is this a silly trade combo given the tiges play the hawks this w/e?

 

[Flashhh]

What would you do with this midfield and backline? (Not changing forwards or rucks)

Was thinking of doing Cornes -> Birchall/McLeod/Roughead/Pratt and Griffen -> Boyd?

Any other idea's? Maybe just elave my backline or midfield as they are and fous on other?

 

[McLean_4_Captain]

I'd do Cornes to McLeod, last few weeks looks like he's back to his best.

That leaves with enough cash to upgrade Griffen to any of Cross/Hayes/Kirk/Swan/Deledio/Dal. Hayes is probably the most consistant, Kirk has the biggest scoring potential.

Or you could take a risk on Goodes

 

[Lotch]

Just an Idea

To improve scoring capability for the run home I was thinking about upgrading my ruck.

Currently have:

Cox & King (Kreuzer & J. Tippett)

Was thinking of:

King -> Ottens/ Fraser/ Campbell

Still have 3 trades left…

Thoughts?

Why do you have King starting on the ground before Kruezer if you are trying to improve your scoring potential in the ruck then?

 

[Un_OC]

4 trades.

I have Brown (who im guessing will be staying down as hardly going to training), S. Selwood and Wilkes


Am thinking of trading brown and selwood or wilkes out...

and in: bradshaw, okeefe, mcleod, ordard, medhurt or daivs


76k in bank.

 

[boppin]

McLeod or Roughy???
Mcleod found form, Hawks easy run home??

 

[johno_1989]

Thinking of trading Urq for C. Bolton. Should i do this trade? or are there other problem area's i should fix?

 

[Lotch]

King -> Ottens/ Fraser/ Campbell

Still have 3 trades left…

Who is the best choice. Scoring potential and playing the last 3 games.

 

[Faz 2000]

OK OK... so I've cashed out Troy Simmonds, let the Kreuze-missile loose in the ruck in support of Big Cox. That's fine.

One trade left (for the week), $337,500 in the bank, and I need to upgrade one guy in my 22.

My worst defender last week was Stiffy.

My worst midfielder last week was Dalziell (Cotchin is on the pine worth more $$$).

My worst forward was J Brown, but he stays, so really it was Aker.

Given this, I can pretty much upgrade any of these three to anyone in the league. Where do you think the biggest jump will come from? All three should be better this week than last...

Do I fix the Stiffy issue by switching him to Goddard? Do I turn Cotch into a mega-star like Hodge or Ablett and play them in place of Dalziell (is that a waste of Dalziell)? Or do I rid myself of the slumping Aker and bring in Roo?

 

[OneEyedHawk]

BACKS: Gilbee, Newman, Johncock, Shaw, Birchall, Ibbotson, McKenzie (Proud & Head)
MIDS: Ablett, Bartel, Dal Santo, Kornes, Cooney, Stevens (Cotchin, Wellingham)
RUCKS: Cox, Simmonds (Hampson & Renouf)
FORWARDS: J Brown, Riewoldt, Pavlich, Franklin, ROK, SJ, Rioli (N Thompson & Ross)

**Am gonna use (my last) 2 trades today, obviously my backs are junk, but should I use both trades on them?

OPTION 1: Do 2 backs. (Will have $871k for 2 backs).
i) Goddard & Bock;
ii) Fisher & Ladson; or
iii) Roughead & McLeod

OPTION 2: Do 1 back and do Rioli>Deledio ($1.004 mill for 1 back and 1 forward)
i) Waite and Deledio
???

OPTION 3: Do 1 back and do Stevo>Hodge ($1.131 mill for 1 back and 1 mid)
i) Waite and Hodge
??

I'd go Cotch>Hodge. I'm trying to get Hodge into my team at all costs, even though my teams have other holes that proabably need plugging first.

Hodge has smashed it since returning from injury, bring him in.
