Split rd - To trade or not to trade?

[CaptainChardonnay]

That is the question.....

With 3 games over a week away, and no idea what the teams will be, do you trade or hold your nerve?

Any advice/comments on SC strategy over the split round?

 

[BILC]

Not a great idea trading when you dont know the teams but if you have lots of injury trouble youll have to take the risk

Comfortable with the split round this year >

Melbourne - Grimes
Essendon - none
Sydney - ROK
Pies - none
Freo - PAV
Cats - Selwood, Corey, Chappy

Confident that all my blokes will play. Corey should be right after 2 weeks off.

How does it work? After the first week, is there still a chance to trade before the 2nd half of the split round?

It's lockout for the entire round. There's no trading before the second half of the round.

Damn, all my injured players are in teams that play in the 2nd week. Luckily only 6 teams in my league have Ablett and two of those teams are shit, so I'm not forced to use a trade on him now.

Mumford, Taylor, Rooke and Corey are my main concerns. >_<

 

[IDIG]

So are no teams named at all for the 2nd week?? Or extended benches etc but they're not final until the following week.

No teams at all I think.

I may be forced to make a trade. Nathan Krakouer needs to play because I have no cover due to Ben Warren being injured. And im playing the top team in my league and need all the scores I can muster.

 

[heypenny]

No teams will be announced today for next weeks games..

They will be announced next thursday like normal

I couldnt give a toss

I thought they were this weeks games? Phew!

 

[OneEyedHawk]

Would be so much easier for me if the teams set to play this week and next were reversed. Have got a must-win game.

Would've loved to have given hodge another week to comke down in price, but no idea if Cheney will get a run? Similar with Broughton...surely Broughton will get a gig though?

I'm somewhat interested in grabbing JB this week but given it'll mean blind trading for the downgrade and he's yet to post consecutive scores this year. I'll wait and pay the extra price next round or later on. Also SJ is coming down within reach in the next few rounds so might have more options.
