what trades u dong b4 the price jump
i'm doing Roughy to WHE
i want to ditch Bowes but dunno who to
i have SPS, SPP, Barrett, Pickett, Parfitt, Butler, Eddy, Turner, Houston
thinking of getting one of McGrath, Swallow, Hannan
have 258k in the bank after Roughy trade
Struggling here myself.
Taranto is my must trade but I need to decide on Houston Butler or Hannan.
WHE is a must have - im glad I started him
Bowes is a slow burn but
Swallow wait a week
McGrath im not sure he will be worth the extra 100k on someone like Hannan etc.
I would keep roughy as he will go up in cash and will score 70+ each week
u gave me the idea of just doing Bowes to WHE
had 150k so just gonna do that
Looking at:
Jack Steven to WHE via DPP (Parfitt)
Joel Smith to M Murphy via DPP (Hibberd)

Good trades there! Pity you have to hold onto Hibberd a bit longer (I do too) but hopefully he can find his way back into the team.
I'm a bit stuck. My POD has flopped so I'm trading him out, but to whom?
Viney out, Murphy or Oliver in?
Murphy obviously proven and looking fit as ever but Oliver is doing exactly what my guy told me Viney would do (picked the right team but the wrong player).
Other trade seems a bit more obvious. Mountford out, WHE in (although I wish I could get Butler in too).
Alternatively, I can get Butler in as well for Viney instead of a premium, sit on the cash for a few weeks, and field SPP.

Don't know much about Oliver except the Dees have one hell easy draw this yr which you would think would continue to help his scores but after starting with Murphy and watching him closely in the first two games I reckon he looks to good to ignore for his price in DT & less of a risk compared to Oliver
no plans for trades over next two weeks atm
only done the 1 trade so far after this week
atm ive gone Taranto to Houston but really worry about his JS. Butler or Hannan might be better for this. tough one to choose

Houston should stay in while they keep winning but who knows how long that will last?
I think Butler's very safe and don't know enough about the Dees this year to help you out.
Have gone Steven to MMurphy
But then also have Hibberd and JSmith
Have 180k so will probs look at WHE

Going to do at least that trade myself. Might look at getting McGrath in for Hibberd too, which means I have to pass on Houston.
Nfi which way I'm gonna go haha. Gotta flower off 2 of: Bowes, Florent, Simpkin, Taranto, and Steven (inj)
Hoping to hear how long Steven will be out for, but I'd imagine around a month which is too long to hold onto him for.
Steven-->Murphy
Bowes/Simpkin-->WHE
Maybe that^

Going to be popular trades this week me thinks ;) Seems like everyone on here has Steven.
I don't understand the want for murphy - is it simply his price. he wont score enough to be a top 10 mid imo and loves an injury too. its likely this steven to murphy will end up costing people another trade down the line

Steven has to go regardless, that cash could be used elsewhere, and it's likely only one trade from Murphy to a top 10 (if he doesn't get there himself) as opposed to the downgrade/upgrade needed for most other cash generators

All indications are that it's going to be harder to generate cash this season. As LaHug said, Steven had to go this week, so why not use the chance to make some money at the same time with a player who is going to make money and may be a chance of becoming a Top10 mid. Murphy also has the same bye as Steven which helps if you have set up that way.
Was always planning to get rid of Hanners so will Go Hanners to Merrett seems to be playing a DT type friendly game and with Stevens injury the popular trade Steven to Murphy.
Murphy is predicted to rise approx $60k this week and with further rises should need arise to trade him out should be a sidewise tarde.
Next week will look at Hibberd to Newman and doing something withGeorge Horlin Smith.
Sandilands to WHE and moving Nankervis to R2.
Sandi in DT isn't doing enough to justify keeping him either as a cash cow or keeper and Freo look terrible this year.
The other trade? Dunno yet.
^^ you have me thinking about Sandi now too - not sure why I picked him over Nank/Witts but looks like if I keep him I could lose 20ppg easy
Have the cash to trade him to either or my original plan was upgrading him to Gawn Rd12 - do have Pruess on bench for cover & S.Martin as my premo
I guess the question is - is it worth burning two trades & is Nank/Witts keepers in your guys opinions? Two trades cause I will also need to do an extra downgrade next week to make sure I have enough cash for my rookie to premium upgrade after rd4 (if I choose Nank which would be my fav of the 2). I have already used two trades & am going for overall :)
GHS to WHE via Taranto possibly not sure what 2nd trade will be
My rucks are fine,started Stefan and Nank there I do have Steven but SPP can cover him will have a proper look tomorrow
Can anyone from the SuperCoach part of this site PLEASE give me the opinion on the above trade I'm thinking about?? So undecided on this one just need a 2nd opinion...
Well, Witts won't be a ruck keeper. Dunno if Nank will be a fwd keeper. If you have no other issues, they'll both make cash, but not sure if it's worth trading Sandi over. I'd either target an early upgrade to Gawn, or stick with Sandi.
Fwiw i started Stef and Gawn as i see them being a fair way ahead of the rest. Grundy could get close but that's about it for me.
I still need to dump Steven and have no idea what to do. I'm actually tempted to grab a premium forward but all the guys I like have the same bye week.....

Thanks heaps GL! wasnt sure if Nank/Witts were keepers prolly should of went the Stef/Gawn combo as you did, easy for me to say now though :-[
Guess I've just gotta ride Sandi/Pruess out at R2 until RD12 even though I have no other pressing issues prolly still no point if Nank/Witts aren't keepers to burn the trades on them
Thanks again GL
I think Sandi will be fine as a R2. DT the rucks other then Stef have been pretty bleh. He is normally consistent due to the high possession count. I think with Sandi you can get 50 points from just hitouts alone some games so he has a pretty good floor.

Hadn't really thought about it in reagards to if he plays guaranteed 40-50 points on hit outs alone. Another reason I like the idea of keeping him, thanks for the advice Mat :) He looked like a statue against Port, but will take that 40+ each week, keep the trades & hope for some movement from the big man 8)
To be honest, the one type of ruck that Sandi has traditionally struggled against is like Paddy Ryder. Ryder has been one of the only guys with the athleticism to jump over him and nullify him in the hit out game. Nic Nat has caused similar problems and there was a game a couple of years ago where Ryder beat him doing exactly this.

Haha I'm still not certain either. I really want to get a timeframe on him though. Heard it was gonna be just 1-2 weeks somewhere (can't remember where), and would wanna hold if true. I would have thought at least 3 though myself.

If he has a break and a punctured lung I think he has to go. They said he might play next week but will need to prove fitness. I think we found out with Rocky's ribs just how a break can hurt someone on the football field. I might look to bring him back after his bye.

After the comments on Ryder & his rucking abilities during and after the game round one as a South Aussie I should of seen it coming, only myself to blame Mat haha. Did honestly look at benching him for Pruess last week didnt have the "cahoonas" to do it though
Looking at the bulldogs with no "real" ruck brings a lot of confidence, I think I may of made the trade without some advice but definantly liking holding atm & thinking against Ryder was a tougher game. Backing in the big man Sat night
I'm definitely going Steven to Murphy, even if he's only out for a week. Jack is a gun but his scores have been well below par so far (I know it's only two rounds, and one was injury effected). Going to Murphy gives me cash to play with and I think I'll go Hibberd to McGrath. He looks to have good JS and scores really well for a rookie.
It gives me over $70k in the bank and with the team I have I'll sit for a week or two and let those rookies fatten up before making my first upgrade, which will likely be a forward upgrade as that is by far my weakest line. I have been pretty lucky with my forward line so far, but I can't keep relying on WHE and scores of around 70 from Roughead to see me through. I need to get in Macrae ASAP.
Steven to MMurphy
Hibberd to WHE
Done
Just reading up on the Saints website...it says that Steven will be a test for their game next week against the Pies. Is there any chance he only misses the 1-2 games? Cause if so, I'd definitely prefer to keep him.
Locked in Simpkin to Houston atm with Simpkin out, and am left with a bit over 100k remaining. Also have Bowes, Taranto, Florent, Pickett, Parfitt, and Barrett. Tempted to drop one of those to Butler, and bench Steven for a week or two if this is the case. Will obviously lose points in the short term, but long term could work out as I'm fairly confident I'd want Steven back in my team when he comes back :P
Changed my mind on Sandi. I am holding for now and sticking to the original plan to upgrade him to a Goldy/Gawn later in the season.
I will be passing on WHE and not trading this week.
I hate the idea of trading hibberd to someone aka just burning a trade
at least with Taranto to a cheap kid - I get cash back even if its a correction
GHS out is annoying quite tempting to trade tbh
do I get Houston and butler or just be happy with one and then get newman possibly next week
Need more trades. Pick two:
1. Viney (proj. -$30.7k) to Murphy (proj. +$59.4k) - would be $90k more expensive a trade next week
2. Roughead (+15.7) to WHE (+72.7) - +57
3. Mountford (0) to Butler (+62.0) - +62
Rookies need to be perfected this week so I feel like I can't miss WHE or Butler. But holding Viney will kill me. Missing Murphy hurts too but less so if he's not a top 8 mid (Danger, Rockliff, Treloar, Merrett, T.Mitchell are locks, Murphy competing with Gaff, Heppell, Martin, Pendles, Fyfe for those other 3 spots).
Otherwise, I can do these two:
1. Roughead to WHE - +57
2. Viney to Butler - +93
Then use a boatload of cash ($654,900) next week for some juicy upgrades before holding trades for a bit. Would mean I play SPP this week instead of a premium but, otherwise, structure stays the same. And SPP has been almost as good as Viney anyway :(
Thoughts?
I'll hate myself if I trade Viney and then he pulls his finger out but he looks poor right now.

GHS to Butler or Houston. Houston should score better but Butler has better JS. Up to you which one you take.
If you wanna trade Taranto as well, then just get the other one of those guys, or go for WHE if you don't have him. Otherwise, wait a week and trade Hibberd to Newman.

Gotta back in Viney imo. I'd get rid of Mountford for Butler 100%. If you don't think Roughy will be a keeper or make enough cash, then dropping him for WHE is probably a good idea. Otherwise I reckon I'd just keep that 2nd trade up your sleeve :)

I can also do these options:
Viney & Mountford to WHE & Butler
or
Viney & Mountford to Murphy & WHE
But yeah, maybe I just have to back in Viney... I don't think Roughy will be a keeper at all and he doesn't look like he'll make as much cash as we thought he would. It's just that this week against GC, he could go big (but WHE will still make way more cash).
Haha yeah, he could go big this week. Could also score average though, and after the first couple of rounds he could continue with 70s after that.
Were we really expecting Roughy to be scoring 90-100 though? I think he's going fine and I'm expecting a good score from him this week (85+) considering he's playing GC. Definitely not a keeper, but he's good for 75 points a week until he tops out and then I'll trade him to a fallen premium.

Yeh that's my plan too mate. Not at a keeper but hopefully puts up some decent scores and makes some cash before a sideways to a fallen premo

I don't think we expected 90+ but I definitely expected 80+. I just think he'll make cash way too slowly and one down week undoes all his work.

Looking at:

Reckon ATM will just do the 1 trade Steven to WHE via DPP
Gone Viney and Mountford to Butler and WHE. It's that or just Mountford to Butler. Tough to really decide right now.
Is it worth getting McGrath in? If I do I'm left with about $74k or something like that. The other option is Newman, but I never really like going a week early with rookies, because if he doesn't play next week I'm stuck with a player that hasn't even had a price rise.
If I go Newman for Hibberd I would be left with $161k which is obviously going to be very useful for my first upgrade, but should I do it this week or next?
So really I'm tossing up between the following trades this week. One gives me a rookie with better job security and probably better scoring over all and one means I go a week early but get to pocket $161k.
Steven > Murphy
Hibberd > McGrath ($74,200)
Steven > Murphy
Hibberd > Newman ($161,600 left over)
Either grab McGrath this week, or trade to Newman next week.

Not 100% sure of that tbh. Guthrie is back in the squad and will obviously stay in there. Menegola in as well, and he killed it last year and is every chance of performing and keeping his spot in the team. Like, he could come back in after a week out, but no certainty. Think it's safer to play the percentages personally, but up to you :)

So turns out if I went Taranto to Butler it allowed me to go Steven to Rocky.
