Round 7 Trades

[Dez!]

Swapped Weitering out for Marcus Adams, thoughts?

 

[Alexwce]

That's the plan. Also I already have Adams and Brown

Why dont you get Mason Cox then and pocket a bit more? More Adams / Brown into defence

 

[buttox]

Swapped Weitering out for Marcus Adams, thoughts?

bit late
he hasnt been as good the last 3 or so weeks.
id go ruggles personaly

 

[Super Hans]

Can't decide between getting Martin up fwd or Sloane/Steven in the middle, thoughts? Leaning towards Sloane atm and waiting for two of Dahl, Zorko or Lids as my two fwd premium upgrades.

Swapped Weitering out for Marcus Adams, thoughts?

You wouldn't plan on keeping Adams long term and he won't make much more money from her here on in. Wouldn't do it personally, would look to either up- or downgrade.

 

[BigRang]

Menaspud > Smith
Deaspud < Rich
Leaves my team looking like this with 26 trades and a highly probable double downgrade next week.

 

[P_Cripps]

Simpson, Houli or Pittard in?? Already have docherty

Trading out Ben Kennedy from the midfield as well which gives me $557,200 to replace him with, some upgrades I was looking at were:

Aaron Hall
Adam Treloar
Tom Mitchell
David Zaharakis
Jack Ziebell
Lachie Hunter
Lachie Neale
Jack Viney

Any suggestions welcome.

ive had pittard in my draft team.
really low standard deviation
i dont like the houli rollercoaster
not sure on simpson due to his age.
very hardy though in the past

how much do you have if you go weiter-->ruggles for the 1st trade?

 

[MVallence90]

Weitering -> Simpson

Parish/Mills -> Josh Smith

Thoughts?

Parish better to trade than Mills

Sorry I reversed and got Ruggles, that's what I've got with Ruggles.

I was leaning towards Viney because of the amount of contested possessions, tackles and clearances.

of those id go hall
he will be top 6 forwards this year.
not sure others will be in the midfield

Trades are doing my head in a bit this week. I'm pretty much set on Weitering to Smith. That leaves me with $441,200 in the bank. The 2nd trade is what I'm really undecided on.

I'm half thinking of passing on M.Cox at this stage. To bring him in I really need to go Goetz -> Cox for him to be of any value ie Ruck cover. But he'll be coming in to sit at R3 only. If I bring him into the forward line, I don't get ruck cover anyway and I can probably cover his points with any numbert of Forward rookies. Seems a bit of a nothing trade (Unless of course one of Goldy/NN misses.)

Other options I've considered are bringing in a DEF premo (Boyd or Simpson), or a MID premo (probably Ward) for BK or Tippa. My back line is weak with Rance on the bench this week hence the thought of a premo there. Either way it will leave me with an extra rookie playing somewhere and to be honest, I doubt points wise it will make much of a difference. I'm leaning towards bringing in the MID which I think will give the better overall result. ie Ward and Hartley on the field V Simpson/Boyd and Ben Kennedy.

The other reason I'm thinking of bolstering the Mids, is that I reckon finishing the MIDs off early will result in more points overall. Defenders can be bought in any time, usually for around $500K or less. I may even leave the defence till last.

A bit long winded, but any thoughts?

 

[Caztheconquerer]

Weitering out for smith via dpp and either libba or mills out for hanners. Thoughts? Thnx

 

[Sir Hugh Percy]

At the lower end of the price bracket, Rich is below 450k. Closer to 500k, Docherty / Houli (Houli will likely fall in price in little this week)? Don't know enough about Biggs to say. Am aiming to pick up Houli next week if things pan out, personally.

Gibson?

 

[MVallence90]

Okay one trade down, JLonergan finally out for JSmith,

Now can move on Weitering with $576,300. Can get any DEF or FWD out there. But to get a forward will have to move Adams down back losing DPP DEF/FWD link with Tippa, Brown & Adams all down there.

DEF currently: Shaw, Laird, Simpson, Yeo, DBJ, Weitering (Brown, Tippa)
FWD currently: Hall, Barlow, Wingard, Adams, Wells, Kerridge, (Paps, McCarthy)

Which lines needs beefing up, personally I feel my MIDS are my weakest with
MIDS: Gaz, Selwood, Pendles, SMitchell, Libba, Mills, Oliver, JSmith (Davis, Hewitt, BKen)
$576,300 worth grabbing any mids. I like Priddis at 550K but with NicNat & Yeo that would mean 3 from WCE which could hurt come the bye.

 

[MVallence90]

Hanners proven gun but could you get hime in a few weeks after a few MID downgrades to get guys like Petracca. Maybe a swap for Mills if you also already have someone like LParker

Finishing off the mids is a smart choice, more points in the mids than other lines so I would go with a mid.

im all over the cox
think hes the perfect bye cover if all goes well.
I also have noticed im having to dump rookies earlier for less this year as they are shite.
not sure id want to be carrying the perma donut vs someone with a donut most weeks through spud rookies being dropped.
The cash generation I feel is needed more this year.

 

[dash555]

Advice on Trades. R. Gray still on bench. 132k left, 25 Trades.
Have made the Dea-Smith Trade. Should I keep/trade Weit/Davis? and just do the 1 trade. Or should i go for an upgrade?

Def: Shaw, Rich, Seedsman, Adams, D Byrne-Jones, Tippa, Brown, Dea
Mid: Ablett, Danger, Priddis, SMITH, Hannebury, Libba, Mills, Hewett, R Gray, Davis, Oliver
Ruc: Gawn, Natanui, Grimley
Fwd: D Martin, A Hall, Wells, Menadue, Barlow, McCarthy, Kennedy, Kerridge, Menadue

I already have petrecca and my current mids are pendles Ablett Parker danger Selwood libba. Would like to finish mids first so debating between libba or mills to hanners. Mills still has a lowish breakeven and libba is about 90 odd breakeven. If I go libba to hanners I can get another prem next week which I like.

Thoughts on bringing in cox as a forward and having the R/F swap with loesch?

My defence is so cooked this week, I have to make two trades down there just to avoid a donut.

O McDonald + Weitering
Josh smith + Cox in

This leaves my defence with Shaw Adams Tippa M Brown Dea and Byrne Jones.. Laird and Rance on bench!!!

5 rookies on field in defence!!
