Round 5 trades

[Guardian Hawk]

I just can't bring myself to trust Sicily again. How long before he's thrown forward and punching out the odd 40 and 50 again. Daniel's low ownership % and consistency is pretty appealing, even though he's a bit more expensive.

Sicily is an up and down player scoring wise regardless but just wanted to clear up the Sicily forward fear. IT WONT BE SEEN AGAIN. Last year he was thrown forward as an absolute last resort. Roughead was dropped, OBrien hadn't kicked a single goal for the season and Mitch Lewis was a late draft pick doing just ok in the VFL.

Clarko didn't want to take an AA level defender and throw him forward but we had absolutely no one on the list that looked capable and looked lost with no target.

Supposedly this is the time we went and spoke to Patton as it was easily the biggest hole on the list. So Sicily went forward, clearly didn't want to play there and was terrible! Fwd and backline was worse.

Tried Mitch Lewis instead and he looked great and we started winning games. OBrien went fwd too and blossomed, kicking 13 goals in the last 5 games. we had to fulfil our promise to Patton and now we have too many key forwards to pick (3 players and only 2 spots). Even Gunston has been pushed back. Also recruited Frost to free Sicily to play 3rd man.

TLDR: No way Sicily is played forward again.

I'm not sold on Ridley but not sure that Hurn is the best option. I'm going Howe to Crisp

EDIT going Maynard instead

So glad I decided on Maynard instead of Crisp. What did you do end up doing BOMBERBLITZ ?

 

[Andrew Birch]

Only 83% D/E for Ridley tonight. I told y'all he couldn't keep up a 90% D/E!!

Pleasantly surprised that he scored more than 60 points tonight since I traded him in for the 125k cash grab.

Howe > Ridley
Pickett > Hill

Haven’t watched much Ridley. Really composed and didn’t waste a possession.
Anyone who started / jumped on will be rapt.
Bombers deserved the win, seemed to be able to transition the ball so easily on turnovers and find blokes 20m in the clear.

 

[rocker_oz33]

Been on the Mitchell train all week.
Simkin still affordable at 520k....hmmmm.

 

[BOMBERBLITZ]

So glad I decided on Maynard instead of Crisp. What did you do end up doing BOMBERBLITZ ?

Went Young Gun Ridley!

Looped just in case but very happy with the decision.

He's a great user of the ball and you can see the other Bombers looking for him!

 

[Seymour Skinner]

Ended up going Howe + Noble to Bont + Hill.

Just gonna hold Viney and cop the price drop, he'll still be a downgrade to Whitfield next week money wise.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

went Stewart to Daniel and Pickett to Hill as I can use Hill to cover Brander. Hope Daniel stays uninjured.

 

[Kadog]

Pickett>Green
Brander>Hill

Done.

 

[Walshy_The_Goat]

Howe > Simpkin (switch Rivers back to DEF)
Pickett > Hill

Switch Hill with Brander to DEF to cover Noble.

 

[WaynesWorld19]

Howe > Simpkin (switch Rivers back to DEF)
Pickett > Hill

Switch Hill with Brander to DEF to cover Noble.

Good set of trades .....and a DPP with Simpkin

That's a brave move. Bringing in a 420k bloke and loop him!

Late issue, hold cogs and save the trade or offload for titch ?
