Round 9 Trades

First thoughts are:

Mayes -> Robinson
Moloney -> Watson.

I could also do something along the lines of:

Mayes -> Buddy
M.Jones -> Watson

More tempted by the first option due to M.Jones have his bye in Round 12 and hopefully being a bridge to Cotchin. Robinson's round 13 bye fits in nicely with my forward structure. Assuming first option, team will look like this going into Round 9

Goddard, Birchall, Heppell, Hibberd, Ellis, Vlastuin (Goodes, Heath)
Ablett, Swan, Watson, S.Selwood, J.P.Kennedy, Hodge, O'Meara, M.Jones (Lonergan, Crouch)
Cox, Goldstein (Rowe, Currie)
Johnson, Rockliff, Robinson, J.J.Kennedy, Lewis, Bartel (Mcaffer, B.Kennedy)
 
Thinking of....

Mayes ---> Staker
Wines -----> Mitchell

Giving me a midfield of: Swan, Ablett, Pendles, Watson, Barlow, Mitchell, Hodge, JOM (Jones, Kommer).

Alternatively i could upgrade Macaffer and bring in Franklin....hmmm.

Cashing in my cow Shuey and getting rid of the injured Wellingham
Shuey -> Fyfe
Second one will most likely get changed before next lockout but currently thinking unique
Wellingham -> Wells

Staker is looking like a good smokey for next round but Vossy is Enemy No.1 when it comes to DT lineups...
 
Cashing in my cow Shuey
Your cow who has lost you $12k? ;)

Tough decision for me.

Option 1:

Evans > Watson
Thomas > Franklin

= $33,700

Option 2:

Neade > Staker
Heath > Thurlow

= $417,600

Option 3:

Evans > Watson
Heath > Thurlow

= $129,800

Trading in Watson would give me a midfield of:

Ablett, Swan, Watson, Scooter, Cotchin, Priddis, Moloney, O'Meara (Lonergan, Kommer)

Thoughts?
 
Trying to plan these bye rounds is messed up. You should see my calculations, they are massive! Best I'm seeing so far (barring no injuries) is no zeroes in rounds 11 and 12, but 3 zeroes in round 13.
 
Think I'll trade Ellis in now and before his round 11 bye trade him out again. He'll rise 60k in that time hopefully, then I can pick up Birchall for not much more than 350k. I realise they have the same bye, but it looks like I will have few issues in the first bye week and a lot after that. Happy to trade in Birch knowing he won't play that week, if that makes sense at all.
 
Any legitimacy in trading Wines for Harvey instead of Watson? Just thinking I've got too many R13 byes as is and Boomer is in hot form.

If you were silly enough to jump on Birchall thinking he will score 100+ every week, you were slightly deluded. He averages 90 and really is nothing special. He also played GWS, he rested while playing like many others. Think Watson when Essendon played GWS.

I assume those who sideways traded Hartlett last week will do the same for Birchall. While the rest of the competition has upgraded/downgraded and trading in premos, you will be stuck with the practically the same team as two rounds ago.
Not even close to 90 last few weeks. Maybe you have persuaded me to keep the faith though...
 
Here's my ranking (1,199), call me crazy:
Pittard > Thurlow
Wines > Naitanui

Teams looks like this: 42K in the bank
B: Goddard, Heppell, Hanley, Gibbs, Scotland, Vlastuin (Terlich, Thurlow)
C: Ablett, Swan, Pendlebury, Watson, S.Selwood, O'Meara, Dwyer, Mayes (Crouch, Saunders)
R: Cox, Leuenberger (Blicavs, Moller)
F: Rockliff, Johnson, Bartel, Kennedy, Franklin, Naitanui (Rowe, Macaffer)

But seriously am I crazy for trading Naitanui in? He's so cheap and posted two decent scores in his first two full games back. He'll probably end up being the 2nd ruck in the second half of the year (Leuenberger has been solid for his price, but unless he picks up and starts averaging 90s, with the amount of trades we have, he'll probably find himself out of the team). I doubt there will be an opportunity to get him cheaper as well.

Byrnes -> Staker
Wines -> Jack as a bit of a unique

Midfield of Ablett, Swan, Pendles, SSelwood, Mitchell, Jack, JOM and Evans.

Murphy in next week.

Definitely not. Have considered him seriously. Only thing that has led me off him is having the round 12 bye. With Kennedy, Bartel and SJ all sharing that in my forward line (and assuming a fair few others), it might get awkward around bye times. I have Cox and Goldstein in the rucks as well, both Round 12 byes, so DP doesn't serve a purpose for those rounds.

For those reasons Robinson is looking more likely for me (and for the fact he is my favourite player :p )

Last year I spent hours on it. This year my team is so rubbish that I'm going to take it as it comes. If I get 10 donuts than whatever I can still go to the vent thread and blame Birchall or Hartlett.
