Trades Round 3 trades

[Nelso]

Hope for everyone whos trading in Butters sake that I'm wrong but I have a feeling it's going to end up much like Rozee last season just to a lesser extent. Traded in Rozee last year after a super hot start like many others and got burned by it. Think he went on to average 70 odd after two big scores to start the season (although I think Butters will average more than that). Not only that but there is a misconception about Butters' role, I don't think he attended any CBAs last week so he's not actually playing midfield but playing half forward and pushing up the ground. Not to mention they've played the two worst sides in the league will be interesting to see how he goes with better competition.

He could turn out to be a good pick, just not for me purely because of my experience with Rozee so I've gone the safer Dusty route instead (albeit 70k more expensive). If I'm wrong and Butter turns out to be a must have then I'll trade him in later on down the track. I don't think we've seen enough to say hes a 100% must have yet.

You are forgetting that Rozee was troubled by his foot injury all of last season. He could hardly train at all during the year and that is the reason why his scores dropped off.

So the comparison between Rozee and Butters is not valid at all.

Butters has also gone past Rozee(who Im very high on still) as a player, so there's that

One i need help with

Jones to Campbell or Impey?

Just Dow to Impey for me I think.

The only other issue I have is Taranto. I would have to take a rookie sub 130k that has scored shit and has poor JS to fix him.

It isnt worth doing Taranto and Dow to F. Evans (or similar) and A Brayshaw. Hopefully Taranto comes good!

You'd have to be in a very good position to be trading Taranto at this stage when he has had scores of 107 and 67, that is a real luxury trade.

I'll be holding him and hoping he can bounce back with another ton, another sub 70 score though and I might have to think about turfing him.

Neale and Henry (Coll) have turned into Highmore and Dusty through a bunch of dual position changes.

May have kept Neale around, but with such a massive BE decided to move him on before a lot of that money was lost. This was instead of Fyfe (Fre) who will just sit on the bench this week, leaving a lot of points and money on the bench but will cop it this week, and with 289k in the bank, I should be able to correct easily enough.

Keeping Dow and see how he goes against Freo, his BE is only 5 so still has a week or 2 before I need to worry about him, and T.Green I expect to come back in this week after GWS were pathetic over in WA.

 

[ImissFrosty]

Is it worth me trading Downie for Lazzaro, I'm pretty confident that he will play is the near future. Or Sharp to Chappy, or Scott if dropped to Lazz. My other trade this week is Ryan to Campbell. I'd rather not use 4 trades after 2 rounds however.

 

[Red Syrah]

I'm going to be so pissed if Dow pulls out a 100 this weekend

 

[Suma Magic]

For trade of Caldwell to Impey.

Second trade out candidates are Cripps, Duggan and Phillips. I really can’t decide who I should trade, if any.

Here is my team if anyone wants to provide any advice, cheers.

 

[Glorin]

Anyone else see the Barrett video on the AFL site. Suggests Fyfe may be indefinitely out, but then goes back and says will miss at least one. Suggests that Fyfe may take extended time out as he suggested as much after his concussion in 2019.
Has me really worried about holding.
Also has me reversing my Neale out plan or do I go mad and do-
NEALE and FYFE

OLIVER and MACRAE

[Hamez]

Interested to hear your thoughts with what you’d do with this team? I’ve got $143k in the bank.

Only trade which I’m considering is Phillips > Butters.

I think I’ve got all the must have rookies. Potential issues with Cox, Sharp, and Scott rookie wise. Will need to watch this space with Taranto, Docherty and Daniel.

What's the misconception? He's a midfielder regardless of CBA. CBA matter only for a few seconds each time.

Fwiw he did attend 7 CBA still. But playing that starting as one of the 6 forwards and then pushing into the middle is a role he can continue as no team plays 3 mids only around the ground. He tracked the ball, he actually played an inside mid ish role at times - hence the heavy handball ratio, insane DE, and 14 CP, just because he's not a slow bull like player doesn't mean he doesn't have the speed, agility and nous to win the ball inside before anyone else does.

He won 3 stoppage clearances and 3 center clearances for 6 total. I'm not sure exactly how clearances are counted but I'd be reasonably confident of saying he influenced more.

I'm watching him like a hawk as I started with him and have always been bullish on his potential. Think the sky is the limit. So very confident on my assessment from the eye test and stats back it up.

You can watch all a players stats now on AFL site so it's a good way of seeing things again, he was all around packs, just able to break away from them. He might not play a mid role every week but I don't see any reason why Hinkley shouldn't unless he starts to get targeted for roughing up. They've got to catch the kid first though.

 

[HTPunter]

The one thing I'd say to those considering Butters as a trade in is that you've already missed a peak score.

The 163 will be an outlier over the season. He's ****ing good and I have a crush on him, but it will be an outlier.

Realistically, 100 is a solidly optimistic season average for him. He's a gun but young, with potential to 1) deal with an AFL level tag for the first time 2) deal with some roughing up and cop a few big hits slowing him down, plus 3) every player has down games, Young guys more so.

Let's say 100 as it's a breaking out jump in improvement on last year.

22 x 100 = 2,200

Take out the 98 and 163 you've missed if you didn't start with him

2200 - 98 - 163 = 1,939
1939/20 = 96.95

Utilizing a trade on a sideways to get a premo who optimistically may average 96 for you. Highly likely to get a 60 or so to be the outlier the other way.

Plus Rozee was a 2nd year. At the time, I was like 'WTF are these guys thinking? 2nd year is gonna burn y'all"

Butters is not a 2nd year. It's a big difference IMO

WE WANT JEZ

Yes we do .. .

 

[INSECURIOUS]

Getting the TexBerger.
No Cripps.

 

[GoDees234]

Probably a stupid question... But would you guys trade Cripps to Ridley? Cripps not likely to be top 10 mid, Ridley almost a shoe in to be top 3-4 defender.

Am I the only one thinking Butters is just going to be this years Rozee??

Butters 2021 - Rd 1 - 98, Rd 2 - 163. Ave 131.

Rozee 2020 - Rd 1 - 125, Rd 2 - 145. Ave 135. 2020 average - 70.1

Different roles, different players. I started him so if he ave 100 from here I will be happy.

77k in the bank.

At this stage thinking no trades. Have all the rookies and no real obvious trades elsewhere that I can see. Opinions welcome though!

Hold, nice team.

 

[Ingy]

I reckon Impey was massively KOTD for his 123.

I mean it may continue, KOTD tends to be KOTD, but my reasons for not picking the kent in the first place haven't been negated so I am gonna miss him.

I'll give him credit for 95% DE but he's never maintaining that, so his Sc point: possession ratio will fall and so will his desirability, IMO.

I'm doing the Tex cash grab instead

Yes depending on how weak it leaves your midfield and how strong your defence already is.

16k in the bank. Forced to trade Danger + Rowell, need to trade Draper + Caldwell.

Main options being considered:

A) Draper + Caldwell to Butters + Meek + 148k in bank (Flynn/Meek to R2 feels like the best option for me since I have taranto + phillips to worry about too)
B) Draper + Caldwell to Nicnat + Warner + 5.9k in bank (worried about Nicnats durability and having 3 swans rookies up fwd)
C) Draper + Caldwell to Lycett + Impey + 10k in bank (not a huge believer Lycett keeps these scores up)
D) Taranto + Caldwell to Oliver + Warner + 18k in bank (solve Draper problem next week and keep Flynn at R2. 3 swan rookie problem still)
E) Taranto + Caldwell to Dunkley + Impey + 46k in bank (move a DPP to mid and put dunkley up forward)
F) Taranto + Caldwell to Butters + Jordon + 223k in bank (next week should be able to upgrade draper to Grundy)

I'm in a world of hurt and have a million options for trades

A looks best. Start saving for grundy.

If you think that Cripps’ injury will impact his scoring enough, then yes.

 

[ohh_v]

Has the news that Neale has only trained lightly changed anyone's mind about now trading him out?

Would be breaking a golden rule, but...
