Round 3 trades

[Mitchell54]

Rich to go 4 sure

Question is

Does barlow go as well
Or BCROUCH go

Decisions decisions decisions

Barlow to a 460k fwd
And rich to Laird appeals

Or rich to hartley
Crouch to libba

Not sure yet.

Rocky to Libba
Linc Mc to JJ via dpp

or

Gresh to Libba
Rocky to Danger

or

Rocky to Libba
Barlow to JJ via DPP
& keep cash

or

A shitload of other combos

Found these 2 posts as an example. But whoever doesn't have Libba in their team need to get him in now!!

 

[Crawb]

That's not too bad, all things considering. He'll lose a bit of $ value this week obviously, but should* bounce back.

He only attended 3 centre bounces last night, he is fundamentally not playing the role we all thought he would - not only that, but he is playing terribly in his current role too. Freo board seems to suggest there's a fair chance he could even be dropped this week. Freo are cooked as well. Has got to go. You'd be brave to trust any Freo player other than Fyfe.

 

[joop]

Gresham will be dropped so him > Ben Kennedy.

Have Barlow who I despise but I'm going to put up with him now.

 

[Mitchell54]

How bad is Rockliffs injury?

 

[rocker_oz33]

Unsure how bad the rocky injury is.
But someone tweeted it was only a strain won't know till the injury report comes out.

 

[Keg on legs]

The only way Barlow becomes relevant again is for him to be a pure stoppage mid. He could be quite good at getting first hands on it and feeding it out by hand. (Ignoring how unclean his hands were last night of course)

Problem is, his kicking is average at best and he's too slow to create drive from the stoppages so he's pretty much a one trick pony. Plus RTB doesn't appear to want to play him in the guts but would rather allow a quick defender to run off him at will and have him just occupy space.

Edit: and yes- I got sucked in by him too!

 

[The Lemon]

Thank **** I went from Barlow to Hall before round 1. Hall is a jet

Depending on Rockliff's injury report, I will probably hold him as Davis/Hewett/Dunkley might be able to cover him until he returns.

 

[Drumpf16]

Looking at getting on the jj bandwagon.

Considering Barlow to jj by swinging that stud muffin Adams forward and then go rocky to Robbie Gray. Depends on injury news etc but that's where my head's at for the moment

 

[Drumpf16]

Excuse my ignorance but how u going to do this Barlow to JJ via swinging adams fwd in one trade, if barlow only fwd/mid...? Bit confused.

 

[Krujan]

With the amount jumping off barlow I'm now tempted to keep him

He's not injured as far as I know

He's just playin like crap ( but the whole freo side is fwiw)

I'm inclined to keep him as well. Barring the year he came back from a broken leg, he hasn't averaged under 93 and is only 28 years old. Still has plenty of good footy in him. Freo playing like crap won't last all year. They finished on top of the ladder after H&A rounds last year FFS. It's not like they're going to turn into Carlton overnight. I'm going to put it down to them playing 2 run & gun teams that they don't match up well against. Can't se Barlow averaging less than 90 regardless. He'll end up a handy DPP F6 or M9 at worst.

 

[The Made Guy]

The S.S Barlow.

By switching one of Adams/Tippa/Brown to the forwards if you have any of them in defence.

No problem:

You trade Barlow out. That creates a fwd vacancy. You can then move Adams into that vacant spot by using the sub button. That then creates a def vacancy. Move jj into that.

Make sense?

Trade out Barlow. This leaves a space in your fwd line.

Put Brown, Tippa or Adams fwd.
This leaves a space in your back line.

Bring in JJ

Yeah I'm keeping him. They'll start winning a few games and his score will increase

Rocky is a much bigger issue. He's gooooooooooooooooooone for me

It's all done on the trade page.

If you click to trade a player out and you have a DPP player in an other position who could fill that spot, it allows you to do it by clicking the S next to the players name

Who would they drop him for?

Thanks for the info as I was curious about this as well. Could it be taken a step further? I have Rocky and am thinking about trading him out. Could I trade him and move a dpp from my forwards into the midfield and then a dpp from my defence into the that forward spot? (Effectively giving me the vacancy in my defence instead of my mid or fwd line as I don't have a defender who can go straight into the midfield)

Sure can

 

[CotchyPls]

Libba, JJ and BenKen
Out of these 3, which 2 would you bring in this round?

Yep! Unlimited DPP moves are available on the trade page
Go nuts!

 

[Alfar]

Sweet. I think I'll say goodbye to the Rocky Horror Picture Show and jump on the JJ express.

 

[Milanista28]

My only obvious mistake IMO was picking Crowley, Stupid choice but easily fixed.

At this stage I'm considering 2 options and DPP players allow me to do these.

Barlow and Crowley in for either...

Libba and Parish or JJ and Parish.

Basically Libba vs JJ??

 

[hoddo]

Who would they drop him for?

Doubt he'll be dropped. Mzungu and Bennell look the only suitable replacements and I have no idea if Mzungu's fit or how far off Bennell is.

 

[DraftPunk]

He's played GC and Melb, neither of whom gave him any respect. Will soon be paid attention and given they have **** all else, may get the first tag. Stanton all over again.

Zach Merrett & Stanton is a terrible comparison.
