Blue Pill option
Brayshaw to LFogarty
Bont to Dusty
Keep my loophole and get cash generation from L Fogarty.
At least let Bont play his second game before jumping off so quick mate ;)
I'll be bringing Bont in for Rocky if I don't have more injury issues to deal with.

Bont is the one I am looking at because he is only mid I have that would be a possible trade.
Price wise it is Bont rnds 3-12 v Dusty for the same period. Effectively I am paying a trade for the possibility of Dusty outscoring Bont by 150 points over this 10 week period. Excluding additional captain opportunities and improved cash generation.
Whilst I hoped Dusty would start slow he looks as good as or better than last year. Dogs look like a shell of the team they were 2 years ago.
Another failure from Bont this week and I'll be looking at Bont > Gibbs

How can a dogs fan start Rocky over Bont meow? No one knew what Port were going to do with Rocky plus he is injury prone. Bont glides through traffic like a dolphin through water. Dusty is more like a bull at Pamplona.

I thought we're going to be shower this year and Bont will be thrown around too much. Bevo has lost the plot.
I pick Rocky every year. He owes me and will repay me sometime. Not this year by the looks of it.
Round 3 trades - AKA Correctional trades
Looking forward to the list of must have rookies, underperforming premiums etc and hoping two trades will suffice

Ryder for one but I never trade till I know the player I'm getting is playing , and I'm waiting to see how Danger goes in his fitness test tomorrow he could be No.2 at the expense of Treloar who only ran slow laps so that doesn't sound to promising and that would let me look at English for another week ;)
Will be downgrading someone (probably Naughton or Brayshaw) so I can bring in Dusty for Crouch.
Just hope to get past red 2 unscathed, so far so good touch wood.
Lambert is my worry 71 and 49 not cutting it. So not sure who to correctional trade him to. Maybe Sicil;y if he has another good score and would give me 146k in bank as well.
Cash in Bank will allow me to go Bont to Dusty if Bont has another flop but still undecided. Gut had told me Dusty may fall but early signs not good.
Waiting on Danger as well.
Naughton and Brayshaw my 2 rookies keeping an eye on this week due to their expensiveness and possible slow burn.

I'm the opposite, was impressed with his game last week. Think we'll find he hovers around the 90s & then pulls in the occasional 130+.

This sounds about right. Watch them both pull out 80+ games ???
All eyes on dorko*
* lower case d not a typo
Still giving some this weeks games to change my mind.
One definite though is probably Lambert to Sicily so watch Lambert score a 100 next week.
Other possibilities are Brayshaw to Fogarty (Geelong) or Bont to Dusty.

Dev was excellent last week. Hopefully for SC he can pump up his numbers obviously but from an Essendon perspective couldn't have asked for more from him. No way i'd consider trading him atm.
I need to see all the games before considering any trades. 1 week isn't enough of a sample size.
This is a conundrum every year. Ideally u wait for 2 games to get a better look/idea of players form/role especially for rookies and mid pricers.
The problems arise when u get injuries(Ryder/Kreuz/Libba) plus two or more rookies that need correcting.
We only get 2 trades next week before price changes. We have 2 extra trades this week if needed but people don't want to use them unless LTI.
For example I have Venables,Naughton,Brayshaw as possible rookie corrections. I also have Walters who I genuinely believe was a mistake. Add an injury to that and that's 5 potential trades! 5 does not go into 2.
Say Venables gets dropped next week.Brayshaw flops while Fogarty/Barry score well and keep their spots. That's 2 trades already.
Naughton scores another 20-30 and Walters gets injured or continues to play predominantly fwd.
I really don't want a Pickett/Eddy/Florent mark 2. That is what happened last season when I didn't trade after round 1. And it stuffed my cash flow big time.
It is only a guide Ubeaut. Trade away if you need too, I am lucky so far, no injuries and only Brayshaw to deal with. Do have Bont and would normally keep him, see upgrading bont as the only way to get Dusty before end of byes.
i seen 3k teams traded out Fyfe this week lol wtf

Yeah I know. The other side of the coin is u go early on a Brayshaw/ Venables/Naughton and they don't get dropped and/or start scoring well, and the player/s u bring in flop/get dropped!
It's a tough balancing act!

Walters will go 100+ this week I believe...
In similar conundrum. Have decided on Brayshaw -> Garlett, for cash. Hopefully 2 trades will be sufficient for next week.

Yeah don't think I'd be smashing that panic button just yet ubeaut.
I thought Walters played a good amount of midfield last week. They should bounce back this week so a 100 is definitely on the cards.
I'd be trading any injured players you have this week, but don't stress about the rookies until we've seen another game. Don't panic on Naughton and Brayshaw too much, Barry and Fogarty could throw in shockers just as easily.
Injury trades first and foremost, then a couple of correctionals if necessary after this round.

After a day of thinking I've come up with a few options to get the $$ (pending performances this week ofc):
1) Armitage -> Bonner via Finlayson
2) Brayshaw -> Lachie Fogarty
3) Naughton -> Mihocek

(https://media.giphy.com/media/c7PcKQlOqZ8Ws/giphy.gif)
Decided to bring in Garlett for Bell and have another look at English. I think Garletts JS is reasonable.
Edit: Should have been in the round two trades thread. Oh well. ::)
Thoughts on my proposed trades for round 3?
1.) Dunkley out, fisher in
Fisher has some real explosive speed playing around the wing. I think he is more likely to get more of the footy as he runs around the ground. Also getting fisher frees up around 30k which i can use to trade in promos in form.
2.) garlett out, english in
Also i currently have garlett at f5, but he has failed to impress. English however can not only play in the fwd line but get hitouts, so he's more likely to get the ball.
The best performing guys after 2 rounds that I don't have are
DEF: Simpson and Shaw
MID: Dusty, Oliver and Conigs
FWD: Devon Smith
In terms of rookies, English and L.Fogarty are the only two on my radar, but I need to see how they go tomorrow and Monday to see if they will still be on my radar
Hibberd and Crouch would be my main concerns at this stage. Lobb and Arma are iffy, but are by no means going bad enough to need to be traded right now
Hibberd to Shaw is almost locked. Reckon my second trade will either be bringing in one of English/Fog if they justify it, or trading Crouch to Dusty or Oliver. Might even delay that trade to the following week as it gives another chance to see Danger play his second game, and Dusty/Oliver play a third. I'll lose points carrying Crouch for next week, but he won't drop in cash and it could pay off down the line
I'd say Hibberd to Shaw is done, but the second trade will depend on how English/Fog go
:-\
Was arvo shift and had a family emergency the weekend of Rd.1 Thus started A Brayshaw in defence and forgot to pick my emergencies. The only rookie I don't have is English, very happy with all the rest. Three trades I like for Rd.3 are:-
1/ Rioli for Taranto
2/ A Braysaw for Bonner if he goes well again
3/ M Hibberd for Shaw, K Simpson, J Lloyd or S Savage
If the worst comes to the worst, the only way I can see three fitting in to two is to perhaps go:-
1/ Rioli C to Taranto
2/ Hibberd to Bonner Of course if Bonner doesn't fire up again the choice is easy. Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions please ??

Hibberd to Shaw is a great trade, that extra cash can be used for Danger at some stage.
i'd wait on Cyril but Taranto is pretty risky, think you need to trade up to Walters/D.Smith if you don't have them, or trade down to English and build the warchest. If Cyril produces then Brayshaw to Fogarty would be a good move as it gives you another 80k.
Hibberd to Shaw is a terrible idea. Must have no other problems with your team if you are sideways trading premos after 2 weeks.
I have Hibberd and yes in hindsight would have kept Hurley but i'm going to stick with him for now.
I'd be sticking to correctional rookie trades and LTI's at this stage. If you picked Hibberd I don't see why you would be trading him after 2 weeks.
Considering Hibberd to Lloyd, Shaw or Bonner. Lower possession count in his two games this year than all of last season. Clearly his scoring is going to be lower this year.
Also thinking I will turn Brayshaw into Taranto via Garlett. Will mean I only have 1 FWD rookie onfield then which I probably should've had from the start. Thought Taranto looked really good today too, spending almost all his time in the midfield.

Hibberd isn't taking kick outs, will definitely hurt his scoring. Shaw is & we know how high his ceiling can be. In 3 weeks Shaw will be Hibberd's value, so we're looking at a 150k turnaround. That to me is worth a trade.
Looking at getting English if he delivers tomorrow

Findlayson showed today that he is the best kick in the GWS team in their defense. He is splitting the kick-ins with Shaw and I wouldn't be surprised if he started to take more given he is the long term option out of their defense and Shaw is in the back-end of his career.
Shaw's been great in the 2 games and definitely on my radar to bring into my side. I'm personally not comfortable trading out keepers after 2 weeks.

Cash in bank is really important, a Hibberd to Shaw trade is worth about 90k. If & when Hibberd returns to his best then bring him in but he will be bleeding money over the next few weeks.

Hibberd is picked as a keeper, so cash loss is irrelevant. We trade him out if we think he won't be Top 10
I'm looking at Hibberd to Shaw because I honestly don't know if Hibberd will be Top 5-10 based on his altered role.
It's definitely reactionary, I know that, and like AK said this week should be rookie corrections and LTI's but in hindsight I wish I didn't outlay 545k on Hibberd. I had Simpson and Shaw is most versions of my side all preseason which makes it sting even more
All it takes is a 95+ score next week and all will be forgiven that's what always happens
Shaw and Simmo are so much more proven though, and the extra cash is handy.
If English and Fogarty flop then there won't be a rookie I've missed, so I might use those correction trades put aside for rookies to correct prems instead
Potential trades that I am thinking about:
J Kelly - Oliver
Fyfe - Coniglio
Lobb - Sicily

Hibberd isn't taking kick outs, will definitely hurt his scoring. Shaw is & we know how high his ceiling can be. In 3 weeks Shaw will be Hibberd's value, so we're looking at a 150k turnaround. That to me is worth a trade.
Findlayson showed today that he is the best kick in the GWS team in their defense. He is splitting the kick-ins with Shaw and I wouldn't be surprised if he started to take more given he is the long term option out of their defense and Shaw is in the back-end of his career.
Shaw's been great in the 2 games and definitely on my radar to bring into my side. I'm personally not comfortable trading out keepers after 2 weeks.
Cash in bank is really important, a Hibberd to Shaw trade is worth about 90k. If & when Hibberd returns to his best then bring him in but he will be bleeding money over the next few weeks.
Hibberd is picked as a keeper, so cash loss is irrelevant. We trade him out if we think he won't be Top 10
I'm looking at Hibberd to Shaw because I honestly don't know if Hibberd will be Top 5-10 based on his altered role.
It's definitely reactionary, I know that, and like AK said this week should be rookie corrections and LTI's but in hindsight I wish I didn't outlay 545k on Hibberd. I had Simpson and Shaw is most versions of my side all preseason which makes it sting even more
All it takes is a 95+ score next week and all will be forgiven that's what always happens
Shaw and Simmo are so much more proven though, and the extra cash is handy.
If English and Fogarty flop then there won't be a rookie I've missed, so I might use those correction trades put aside for rookies to correct prems instead
Obviously his role comes into the equation, the kick outs are critical when assessing his worth. But back on Shaw, really liked his game today, the urgency was back again, something we didn't really see last year. The cash will also be very handy, just looking at some other options, Taranto may come into the frame for me, especially with Scully going down. Back to back tons has me interested. Could he be the Oliver of this year?
Fyfe - 70 (year 1), 110 (year 2)
Oliver - 70 (year 1), 111 (year 2)
Bont - 78 (year 1), 103 (year 2)
Selwood - 77 (year 1) 98 (year 2)
Dusty - 77 (year 1) 98 (year 2)
Can he make the jump? Former pick 2 who seems to be a permanent mid now, also plenty of defensive work & tackling. Thinking that at 365k he might be a solid bet given he could very well become a keeper. The more I think about it the more it makes sense.
Mcrouch --> Oliver
And pending English and Fogarty's performances...
Brayshaw --> Fogarty/English (via Garlett)

I have him in my draft, but at that price am a little indecisive when it comes to classic! You are spot on though, playing a midfield role, excellent numbers and defensive pressure. Could be a great stepping stone......... possibly even a keeper!! Scully out may impact him even more positively too!! I'll be hovering the mouse over him over the next week that's for sure.

Am considering him myself. Could be a bandaid Crouch replacement.
For me, on the field would look like this:
Taranto (F4, Christensen F5) + Holman (M8) + 250k in bank
Oliver (M3, Kelly M8) + Giles-Langdon (F5, Fritsch F6) + 15k in bank
Now I have done this weeks trades and have Danger back in my team I can look to next weeks , English will come in if he plays well again and gets a game the other could be a choice of a few , Greene is the main concern but will wait and see what unfolds with him and I really have to see what goes down with remaining rookies and O'Meara today.

Hibberd is not taking many kick ins. Hard to see much improvement.
The same happened to Shaw last year and those that kept him week after week fruitlessly waiting for him to improve were much worse off than those who traded to Yeo/Hurley/Laird
Tossing up between these two options:
Matt Crouch straight swap to either Oliver or Parker.
Matt Crouch down to Taranto which allows me to upgrade Naughton to Sicily! (Dependant upon Naughtons performance today)
Also, is it worth swapping Garlett to English for cash generation? Think Garlett might be a bit of a slow burn!

Wouldn't be bringing in Cogs now, think it'd be smarter to go straight to Martin. Think Cogs is a good M7/8/9 or stepping stone, so wouldn't be burning a trade to bring him in as he is not likely to be a top 10 mid.
I wouldn't trade Bont, though if he spuds up today I could see why you would.
Brayshaw --> L. Fogarty/English is a lock for mine if either of the two play well.
If Bont spuds up then Bont --> Martin, otherwise would hold the second trade.

Bont>Martin is likely. Had another look at Bont's history and for him to improve it is about raising his floor. That is not likely this year so while he will always be a game winner and score some great scores we face ups and downs. I see him about where dusty was 3 years ago.
Depending on how players perfrom today and tomorrow.
Prems i do not have:
Def: Shaw
Mid: Dusty, Oliver, Cripps
Fwds: Heeney. Billings (Although still on watch).
Prems not Performing: Lambert, Bont, Beams.
Rookie on watch Brayshaw, Naughton
Lambert will be definitely traded but unsure whether down to Sicily or up to Heeney Rd 14 Bye the issue here as well as in mids.
Thiink Beams may lose more cash than Bont so maybe Beams to Cripps. Dusty would be great but would leave me very exposed Rd 14 bye.
So after looking at team Dusty would be the favoured scorer over Heeney/Cripps at this stage look like going:
Lambert to Sicily
Beams to Dusty.
Watch on English and Fogarty.
Overall happy with the team.
If English delivers today and keeps his spot rd3
Brayshaw > Fogarty or English via Garlett dpp.
Hibberd > Shaw/Sicily/Simpson - Thinking Sicily for the most value if he delivers vs Geelong.
Byrne and Bell are the two in the firing line. Byrne to Murphy is a lock, I'm trying to figure out how I can get Conigs in my side but I'll probably have to pass unless I upgrade Brayshaw.
If I could trade Dahlhaus right now I would.
- Brayshaw to Ryan
- Hibberd to Shaw
Gives me another ~$170K to turn Armitage into Danger round 4 or 5

Will be a nice downgrade after the bye to sit on bench.
Living in the past Ringo, I will need to see at least 2-3 100+ games to consider him. By then he might be 400k

Which two did u trade out if u don't mind me asking?
Crouch and Garlett to Laird and Marshall (port) is what I'm leaning to.
Means around round 5 I get Merrett in after his price drop and around round 6 - 7 I get Crouch back in.
Danger will sadly have to wait but I am willing to make the sacrifice
Quote from: Koop on April 01, 2018, 08:25:16 PM

breaks my heart that i'm gonna trade out Rocky for performance reasons
Beamer -> Grape
Hibberd -> Heater
They're the two that look on the cards at this stage.
Not a huge fan of trading premos, especially ones I think could be top in their position but these look like necessary early correctional trades.
Who'd be the best option for bell - Cogz or bonner?
Currently running 5 mid premos
M crouch>gibbs. But if i do another trade like brayshaw>fog i would have extra coin to bring in say oliver
Looks like these will be my trades:
Beams to Dusty
Lambert to Sicily/Jack Martin.
2 correction trades at this stage.

Ah you didn't end up starting with Martin Ringo? Saw him playing well yesterday and thought of ya.
Naughton to Ryan via Sicily DPP seems like a solid trade option for me this week.
Does mean i'd have 2 on field forward rookies (2 of Fritsch, Venables, Ryan and ZGL) but move Sam Murray on the bench so not losing points - would have Doedee and Finlayson as D5, D6 and get an extra bit of cash.
the three main guys im considering trading are 1. Hibberd 2. Lobb, 3. Zorko. Although hibberd is a proven premo his last 2 weeks have been really disappointing. Lobb on the otherhand will most likely stay in my team, although i have to question if he will average enough to be worth keeping this season. lastly, i happy with this weeks effort with zorko, however i do feel like im missing out on some crucial points not having dusty
How quickly a day of footy changes everything. Exactly the reason I don't trade after 1 round. I'm sure plenty did Ryan to English which I had locked and loaded until a few hours ago.
I'm now thinking
Hibberd > Shaw/Simmo
Naughton > Bonner
Best start to a year I've had in a long time and have pretty much nailed all my picks
Byrne > Bonner
Crouch > Pahka
I know I have underperforming premos (enter Beams) but the guy is a proven gun, I know he’ll lose cash but I also know he’ll start to score well soon and I’ll be pissy I traded (much like Fyfe last year)
Sandi is staying, few rucks scored poo this round. Has Witts and then Lobb so I’m sure he can get back up to premium scoring.
Bont looked good in another flogging, will be better once they start to get into a groove.
Other than that, happy with all my rookies so just gonna wait and sit.
MCrouch to Oliver looking the most likely one for me. Grape, Macrae or a MID/FWD of my choosing are the alternatives.
Don't think I'll make a second trade unless Fogarty goes 80+ again. Naughton to Murphy potentially, but don't really think its worth it.

Thinking the exact same trades for me too. Only thing that might change these trades is trying to get Dusty. Zerrett/Bont to Dusty the only options I see but not worth it even though they will lose cash. Bit stumped on this one :-\ The other option is Fogarty if he does well tomorrow.
With Crouch injury, I was thinking of the following:
Crouch to Gibbs/Jelwood
Cameron to English
But will have enough cash to also go:
Petracca to Heeney... it’s not needed but just regret not starting Heeney!
Feel like I've nailed my rookie picks. Well, I don't think I've missed any must haves except possibly Ryan but I'm definitely not expecting him to score well regularly, bit his JS should be very good and he should make quick cash now
I reckon I have 3 options. Which 2 do I pick, and which one do I pass on?
Hibberd to Shaw
Naughton to Ryan
Crouch to Dusty
I could do the first two trades this week, bench Crouch for a week and then trade him next week. Means I cop a lower score having to field Brayshaw instead of Dusty essentially, but it does allow me to get the other 2 which will help much more in terms of future $ plus I kind of like the idea that it gives me another round to see Danger/Dusty/Oliver and then pick one of them the following week for Crouch

If you're willing to leave the $ on the bench for a week it may be better in the long run.
The quick $ to be made from Ryan is tempting. I'd need to trade either Garlett or Venables to get him in. Given up on English for now.
Armo to Dusty, Venables/Garlett to Ryan
v
Caddy to Cripps, Venables to Taranto
Are a couple of options for me. I've got Caddy who has a holiday, so could do Armo-Cripps, Caddy to Shaw/Simpson.... Ahhh, decisions

Yeah i can get behind this one, seems like legit upgrades
Where as shaw seems just as likely to drop as hibbo is to keep putting up his showerty scores :P
Hunter clark is my only must trade, and will likely go to lachie fogarty (depending how he goes today) my second trade all depends on how Dangerfield goes today. If he performs below expectations I can spend a bit of my danger fund to get someone like Tarrant in for d fogarty or venables, if Danger kills it then I probably have to downgrade someone like Hibberd to shaw to make a tad more money to get danger in sooner.
After today itll become more clear what u must do.

On paper massive trades to get Dusty for Bell. But if factoring a weakened fwd line it does negate things somewhat.
Hibberd to Shaw/ Simmo/ Sicily/ Savage
Bell to Christensen/ Langdon/ Fritsch/ Ryan/ Marshall
Correction trades to in form players or rookies who will generate money and will also give you pocket money towards an upgrade.

Not a must unless you need to free up cash to get a bolter before the price rises
I'm thinking I might hold my trades this week, head into round 3 with 30 in the bank for a change.
Happy to hang onto Naughton on the bench considering his JS, and the rest of the rookies I have look fairly solid. Fogarty and English the only 2 I was looking at and neither of them look like they're worth a trade to bring in.
Hibberd the only concern, but think I'll keep the faith. Wouldn't mind a drop in his ownership, plus a ton next week and all will be forgiven.

Happy to hang onto Naughton on the bench considering his JS, and the rest of the rookies I have look fairly solid. Fogarty and English the only 2 I was looking at and neither of them look like they're worth a trade to bring in.
Hibberd the only concern, but think I'll keep the faith. Wouldn't mind a drop in his ownership, plus a ton next week and all will be forgiven.
^^^THIS exactly. 29 after doing Bell to Bonner last week via DPP.
holman vs bonner vs ryan which one should i grab in what order

I would go Holm/Ryan/Bonner
Holman best value, Bonner better player?
Swinging Finlayson to the middle and trading Clark to Bonner is probably gonna be a trade I'll make now.

Holman > Bonner > Ryan. Holman is a must have. Bonner respectable score against the Swans and Ryan will be up and down.
With Kelly and Holman travelling along so well I think my play might be to downgrade Armitage to Ryan, as he's currently at m7 meaning one of them is wasted on the bench. Will probably hold my second trade and just sit on the cash in case someone like Lobb needs upgrading
Quote from: SilverLion on April 02, 2018, 07:07:47 PM
Is Fogarty a must?
I'm not convinced. Think Brayshaw --> Fogarty would be a waste of a trade.
Not a must. However, if like me u have only 2 spots on field, Kelly taking one of them and Holman being a mature age tackling machine, where does that leave Brayshaw?A 200k rookie sitting on the bench that's where. I stupidly played Brayshaw over Kelly 1st week and Holman this week. It's killing me.
If Fogarty can keep his spot it's a mighty tempting trade. Even tho Brayshaw will improve is he worth the price tag? Banfield and Cerra taking their slice of the pie as rookies as well.
Tempted to trade Brayshaw to either Bonner or L.Fogarty.
Problem with Bonner is I'd have Finlayson coming into mids which leaves Holman on the bench which is partly why I'm trading Brayshaw in the first place!
Other trades could be Hibberd > Simpson
Controversial trade is Merrett > Danger
I believe the tag is back and Merrett,Sloane,Zorko type players will suffer. Plus he is going to lose a heap of cash and the best trade out for Danger given Titch,Dusty,Cripps and Fyfe are my other premos
is Rocky to conigs a decent trade
after doing that and Rayner to Ryan i already have enough for my first upgrade when it's time

Unsure on if its worth trading in Conigs now, given that its likely you'll have to trade him out again at some stage. Can be justified though.

100 % I would do these trades. Not sure why u started with Rayner but he should be traded to either Bundy or Ryan for sure.
Rocky will improve but there's too many mids at Port, and despite his assertion he would play "similar to at Lions with mostly midfield and some time fwd"'i believe they got him for depth and to play a fwd role switching with Boak and Gray.
Coniglio I regret not starting BIG TIME.
I advised others he would be such a value pick but couldn't squeeze him in.

Hibberd survives another week
Naughton to Ryan
Crouch to Dusty
Really wishing I put Keeffe in the Fwds now because I'm stuck with Naughton down the other end.
Otherwise, thinking very similar with Crouch to Dusty and ZGL to Ryan.
Off to a flyer this week and want to keep my momentum up. Thinking Bont -> Jelwood or is this too sideways? Are either player a year end keeper? I have 100K in the bank so can go to someone more expensive, but looking at the best bang for my buck. Dogs look woeful and if they can't win many games I can't see Bont doing very well at all.
Byrne to Bonner
Undecided on the other:
1. Brayshaw > Fogarty
2. Rioli > Bundy/MacPherson
3. Rioli > Ryan
Rioli probably won’t lose cash yet but Option 1 seems to be a waste now. Option 2 means I miss Ryan who looks to be making some quick cash, but Option 3 means I have to start 2 of Fritsch, Langdon, Venables, Ryan on the field (Rioli currently at F5).
Thinking Beams to Ryan via DPP and Naughton to Bonner
atm im think zorko to dusty and armitage to bonner. I was happy with zorkos score this week, however if dusty continues to dominate like he has been ill be losing alot of points

Yeah. Would need to field 2 of Ryan, Venables, ZGL and Fritsch which would not be ideal but get Danger in early
Hibberd --> Hurn
M.Crouch --> Mitchell
Lambert to Jack Martin - Rd 10 bye not really an issue with the performing rookies.
Beams to Dusty.
Happy with Rookies at the moment. Thought of Brayshaw to Fogarty but he still has a negative B/e so will make some cash.
Only way to get rid of Sandi...
Cameron -> Olango
Sandi -> Goldstein
Thoughts?
Bell sitting on the bench is my only concern.
Looking at L Murphy or L Fogarty but not sold on either, does not open any upgrade that I am happy with either ???
Hi Guys,
Thoughts on the following:
Zerrett > Danger
Rioli > Taranto
or
Zerrett > Coniglio
Rioli > Heeney/Green
Thoughts? Or should I hold Zerrett? He looks off, I dont know what it is but something isnt right.
Zerrett had concussion in week 1 and then as a whole team Essendon were shower last week.
I'd be holding for now.
Hibberd the only player I'm set on trading, Either to Shaw or Bonner
4 others I'm thinking about
Bont/Zorko/JOM > Conigs/Parker
Naughton> Murphy
Honestly have no flowering idea what to do, feel like its going to be such a flip of the coin decision
Need a little help here. Not sure what to do. No rookies that are screaming out that I don't already have.
I have $114,900
Thinking Naughton to Bonner and Maybe Hibberd > Simmo
Any other ideas?
(http://i68.tinypic.com/nwc5di.jpg)
Either that or hold
No idea what I'm going to do.
My players on the chopping block are:
- Beams
- Rioli
- Bont
- Hibberd
I feel like Cyril must trade; disappears for entire quarters and just isn't the same as he was in his previous years prior to his injuries.
I also think that Beams looks the worst out of the 3 premos.
What are peoples thoughts on:
Beams > Jelwood
Rioli > Christensen
(50k left)
or
Beams > Heath Shaw (via Garlett move from fwd>mid and Keeffe move from def>fwd)
Rioli > Taranto
(56k left)
The issue with the 2nd option is that I already have Finlayson, J Kelly and Coniglio in my side, so that'll take me to 5 on-field GWS players. Also a very risky move placing a lot of faith in Taranto's low sample size, but with Scully out for what looks like a while, he should keep his midfield spot surely?
and then in 2-3 weeks time I can upgrade Bont > Zerrett as Zerrett will dramatically drop in price.
For the people trading out zerret, is it because you don't think he is 110+ mid anymore or because of the injured and slow start, he's had.
I still think he is more than capable of averaging 110 rest of the year so the drop in value isn't really gonna affect me especially since most people who don't have him will try to get him in round 4-5.
Unless you really need that cash for an upgrade elsewhere or no longer believe that he will average in the top 10-12 mids, I don't think you should consider trading him out.
but then again I'm ranked like 20k so what do I know haha.

Rioli your biggest issue. Definitely drop.
Beams underperforming but definitely a player that will improve. A few shots on target and he could have scored 2 or more goals drastically changing his score
All thoughts welcome.
Chosen a solid team this year with my howing mistake being Weitering in the backline and not llaying Brodie in mids
Looking to rectify - thinking
Weitering to Bonner
Dpp McLean to mids and select Fisher / Christenson.
I also started Caddy and feel could use both Fisher and Christenson but Weitering i would say is my biggest pain point here...
Looking at my team I don’t really know where to trade and if I need to. I have 15k so it’s not like I have money to play with.
Players that are questionable in my team are:
Omeara
Lobb
Billings
Naughton
I don’t have Bonner or Coniglio.
Is it worth somehow downgrading Lobb and upgrading Omeara to coniglio?
Or downgrading Omeara and upgrading Naughton to Bonner.
I feel I have chosen all the right rookies so far.
It’s tough but I don’t know where to begin
:)
Was originally thinking M Hibberd to Yeo. That was my option 1. Then after more perusal I came up with M Hibberd to R Bonner and D Armytage to T Mitchell. I'm really starting to like option 2. which would give me a midfield of:-
P Dangerfield, D Martin, T Mitchell, N Fyfe, P Cripps, S Coniglio, T Kelly, N Holman // A Brayshaw, D Fogarty, D Barry.
Any thoughts or suggestions guys and gals.
;)

I truly do not believe he will go 110+ this season. And is an easy upgrade to danger for me. I had plqnned to trade whichever mid premo didnt fire to Danger after round 2 so itll be Zerrett for me

Not sure about Jack Martin, do you think he'll go 90+ for the season Ringo? Had a great game on the weekend, but feel like he's not too much of an upgrade to Lambert.

had Martin in my team up until the last few days whenI thought Lambert may be the better option hence why I am going back to him. Watched both Suns games and he is spending quite a bit of time around the ball. Happy if he goes 90+ early signs positive,
Bont was the other alternative to Beams to go to Dusty. Still reallly undecided which one with Lions bias and Beams underdone due to fathers death. Will get better no doubt,
I might do 1,2 or no trades but my only thoughts were....
Naughton to Bonner
Brayshaw to Fisher
I have Hibberd and Zorko, slightly underwhelming, but worst case they get better or end up at the end of the season as D7 and M9, which will be better bench cover than majority of teams...

Far from a must have when theres players like Oliver, Macrae, Zerrett, Kelly etc.
Good way to bank some cash, but would bring in one of the 600k-ish mids in preference.
Need a bit of help of trades
Option 1:
Bont to Dusty
Option 2:
Naughton to Bonner
I think Option 1 because after this week Dusty is going to be so hard to get but I'm unsure.

Maybe, but could be worth the punt.
Think Taranto is worth waiting on to see if he is going to average 90+ consistently. Agreed that Byrne has to go though. Bonner would be the other option down back, or downgrade to a rookie.

Still not sold on all options....
Naughton, bulldogs in general have been smashed so scores are expected to be low...
Bonner, only real indication is syd game 76 points, but may get less of a role when Pittard is back....
Brayshaw is highest $$ with probably a slow burn, and moving him to fisher allows me to reduce my fwd rookies to 1
Fisher, well who knows what all these young kids can do at Carlton might be a rollercoaster, but can see him hitting $400k quickly
my only other option was Brayshaw -> Taranto but he's near the keeper range and the FWD line is a mess with who will be Top 6, 10, even 20 this year....
I'll probably wait till Teams are released and go with my gut from there....
Armo to Dusty just about locked
Caddy to Ryan or Taranto (or just hold) is the conundrum
Def: Laird, Hibberd, Savage, Doedee, Finlayson, Murray (Naughton, Murphy)
Mids: Titch, Zerrett, Fyfe, Bont, Cripps, Conigs, Kelly, Holman (Brayshaw, Banfield, Barry)
Option 1:
Hibberd to Shaw
Bont to Dusty
Option 2:
Brayshaw to Fogarty
Naughton to Bonner
Option 3:
Hibberd to Simmo
Zerrett to Dusty
Option 4:
Hibberd to Shaw
Naughton to Bonner
Thoughts? Leaning towards option 4 as I think Hibberd’s role is different from last year and doesn’t seem to take kick ins.

I feel like thats to sideways, but those 2 players mentioned are the 2 i would trade.
Been having a fiddle around, gosh something like this is tempting:
Hibberd > Oliver (Finlayson to defence)
Brayshaw > Banfield (to free up the cash)
Means Bonner becomes D3 with Doedee, Finlayson and Murray on the field.
Damn..
I think I've settled on:
Clark to Bonner via Finlayson (which means not having to field Brayshaw).
Beams to Macrae
I like it because it means Bonner would also be D5 as a result which is nice and Macrae seems to have no issue scoring fine even in losses, is a POD, has a nice bye and just means I cut my losses with Beams who I love dearly but has had an awful first two games.
Not big on trading premos, which is why I cooled on moving Hibberd on but I think the Beams to Macrae one is relatively safe.

I don't mind those 3 holding down D4-D6 for a while. I'm thinking
OUT: Hibberd + Lambert
IN: Bonner + Danger
Means an extra forward rookie on field (as opposed to Brayshaw) but it's losing 10-15 points there and getting Danger on field instead of Lambert which is +30 on the worst of days.

Did this trade for my team. About 30K more cash required if leave it a week. Not from Dusty but more from Bont going down. I expect Bont to pump out 140-150's during the season just too many 75-90 scores in there to go with it. 75K more and you have Dusty.
Naughton to Ryan
Bont to Mitchell/Macrae
Leaning towards Macrae as a pod and higher price change. Holding Armo and Brayshaw for this week

Do you have Simmo?
Could probably go without trades this week look like losing Sicily in DEF but back rookies are looking very solid and can cover , mids fine Danger Dusty Mitchell Fyfe Cripps but O'Meara just does not look like scoring premo so maybe move him on to Ellis- Yolmen who should get a good crack in the mids with no Crouch bro's , no other rookies I need.

I don't - two premo defenders are Laird and Savage.
That's also a consideration for me, just grab Simmo. Sitting pretty close to the top few thousand though and thinking Oliver in could be a fantastic POD to help climb the ranks.
Total rethink and probably only one trade this week Lambert to Heeney
willing to do some sort of prop bet that Zerrett will go over 110 this week
I have Salem on the block. Thinking trading to either Christensen or Coniglio.
I think Coniglio is the better trade (albeit more expensive), as he can possibly be a keeper. I'm still unsure if Christensen is a keeper, which would mean I may possibly need to use another trade later in the season.
Thoughts?
Everyone’s thoughts on trading out H.Clark from saints after scores of 40 & 26?
Almost due to be dropped....
And trade to who?
Have the must haves with Kelly Holman. Possible trade to LDU? Looked much better without the biblical rain...

I hate trading out Premiums that I've started with but it's burned me in the past not trading them (Shaw, Hanners etc)
Wasted trade going Beams to Parker\Selwood\Cripps?
Also eyeing off Naughton to Murphy maybe but that seems too sideways as well.
Can't really see that trade making me more than 100k or so in the long run.
Already locked in Hibberd to Simpson.
Don't like the look of Hibberd's role.
Probably guilty of overanalysing/
Keeping both Beams and Bont at this stage - Reasoning Beams will build as the season goes on as he missed a fair bit of pre-season with rehab early, wet weather and death of father. Bont showed some good signs so giving him another week or 2.
Thoughts on these trades;
Lambert - Westhoff Know Rd 10 bye but will be the only one with it so can cover.
Finlayson to mids and Brayshaw to Bonner.
I think I'll give Hibberd one more week to perform. If it looks like his role doesn't improve and goes below 90 again I'll cut my losses and trade him to Shaw.
Naughton can sit in my back line bench not making me any cash until Coffield eventually comes in. As said about any trade to any defender on the bubble right now doesn't look too appealing.
Might give Brayshaw another chance too.
So that means Hunter Clark > Liam Ryan most definitely. Then maybe ZGL to either Waterman or LFogary, not sure yet whether to pull the trigger and get him back at a later date when he's on the bubble again or hold ZGL until after his injury.
The rest of my side including rookies is fine.
Any advice?

Clark to Ryan looks like a good trade. You'll make some cash of the trade itself, and Ryan should go on to generate more than Clark.
I'm personally going to hold ZGL, wouldn't bother trading him to either Waterman of Fogarty - they could quite easily get dropped.
What are people doing who have Z.Langdon?
I've got Keefe,Venables,Fritsch and Langdon so may have to trade or no cover.
Was thinking Venables > Ryan but now it may have to be Langdon > Ryan.
I'm worried Venables may get dropped tho...
Thoughts?

I have come up with the 4 following options:
Brayshaw & Naughton - Fogarty & Bonner
Lobb & O'Meara - Christensen & Coniglio
Lobb & O'Meara - Taberner & Taranto
O'Meara & Brayshaw - Taranto & Fogarty
Besides these options i might not even trade :-\
Don’t have the cash to go straight Naughton-Bonner, I agree just doesn’t warrant the trade offloading Brayshaw to Fogarty :-\
Sit tight i reckon
If you can go naughton to bonner but otherwise you are trading guys who are perfectly fine pick ups imo
Which trades are the highest priority?
Hibberd > Simpson
Merrett > Danger
Langdon > Ryan
Brayshaw > Fog
Really wish I'd moved Merrett and/ or Hibberd on last week. It's why I disagree with the no trades round 1 unless LTI mantra. I now have 4 trades and only can do 2 before price changes.
Hibberd is not playing the kick in quarterback role.
Merrett is my only trade out candidate for Danger and contrary to my preseason thoughts taggers are back in vogue and the likes of Zorko,Sloane and Merrett will suffer.
Ideally I'd wait for Danger to come down in price but Zerrett will lose too much cash for that to work (BE 240!)
Only other option is wait for JOM to pump a few high scores/price rises.
Brayshaw is wasted on my bench with Holman and Kelly doing well. What's the point of having a high priced rookie if he's not scoring as well as the cheaper guys and 200k sits on the pine?
Thinking Crouch > Oliver and Bell to Fisher are the favorites at this point.

Trading Round 1 is the best kept secret in SC, I do it every year.
Because the mentality that you shouldn't do it is so widespread, you can actually get a real advantage on the rest of the comp bringing in 3-4 "must-haves" instead of 2 before prices change.
Most people either forget or don't know that people finished the year with complete premium teams prior to 2011 with only
20 tradesWe have 10 more than that now, they really aren't that valuable...

I don't see Brayshaw on the bench as being a waste of money. His JS is worth something, and most of the downgrade options are not worth it
Langdon to Ryan is a no brainer
As for the 2nd one, flip a coin between Hibberd and Zerrett
I’m contemplating Hibberd> Taranto via Sicily. Then Armitage< Dusty.
Means I’ll have to play Naughton this week, but short term pain for Long term gain. Have Danger, Titch, Fyfe, Kelly and Cogs. Thinking Dusty will be hard to get in the future.
Pi$$ed off with Sicily
Sicily to Ryan
Hibberd to Simpson
Then I'll have over $340K in the kitty and look at getting Danger in a few weeks
Definitely need some assistance:
Trade 1:
M. Crouch to Parker, Jelwood or Gibbs??
Trade 2:
Hibberd to Simpson
Or
Bring English in for Giles-Langdon considering he is injured

Don't go near English, he flopped on the weekend and may get dropped.
If you have a premium mid out for 3 weeks you need to take care of that, otherwise i would say get in Simmo.

Def: Laird, Hibberd, Savage, Doedee, Finlayson, Murray (Naughton, Murphy)

Option 3:

I started Lambert as well
Ive traded him out this week so he will score 110 now this week so you should hold
I looked closely at Hoff, Dixon or Boak...I think Dixon has the most upside but Hoff would be a good trade as well - splitting hairs really
I was looking at Lambert, Duggan > Bonner, Dixon...was surprising what that did to my projection score
At the moment Ive gone Lambert, Duggan > LRyan, TMitch (swapped Finlayson to backs)...this resulted with less projection on above trade even with TMitch as Captain

IMO
Zerrett: you have cover with good rooks - Hold unless you think ongoing concussion is an issue - not on the AFL injury list tonight
Naughton: Slow burn, good JS - Hold
Hibberd: BE 171 ... forecast drop of $38K on projected 91 score - bye bye for me not because of the price drop but because
not sure of his role is SC friendly
Brayshaw: has a BE of -2 +$28.5K increase on projected score of 60 -Fogarty (Geelong) is cash grab (BE -60, $+56K on projected score of 65) - so +28K on performance + $80K (approx) on player price differential - so potential is +$100K plus in the kitty.
Only a short term play IMO with Danger, Gaz, JSelwood, MDuncan (to return), Scooter (to return) and Kelly (young gun) there is not a long term position
Brayshaw => Fogarty
Hibberd => Shaw/Simpson
Hey but I just lost 50K+ places last round so what do I know :)
I'm considering
Hibberd to L.Ryan via DPP
Crouch to Dusty
Leaves me with over 400k so next week I can go Arma to Danger
I'd be fielding both Ryan and Fritsch at F5/6 but I could swing Sicily forward to replace one of them if a def rookie does well enough
Laird, Sicily, Bonner, Doedee, Finlayson, Murray would be my back 6 - reckon I can run with that for a while and then look to get another prem forward in shortly after so Ryan/Fritsch would only be on field for maybe 1-2 weeks tops
Naughton to murphy
Bell to mclean
1 forward rookie of fristch or liam ryan
3 mid rookies - kelly holman brayshaw
Or
Naughton to Murphy
Bell to cogz
2 forward rookies from fristch,ryan and garlett
Mid rookies: kelly holman (brayshaw on bench)
Currently leaning towards mclean as he is more chance of a top 8 fwd than cogz a top 10mid
What do you guys think?
At this stage, I'm going:
Naughton -> L.Murphy
Cyril -> Fisher
Gives me a nice little bank to help with upgrades.
Watching Fisher the first two rounds, he has been flowering good. If he can maintain an 80-85 avg, I will take that.

I too have been watching Fisher, he's looking very tempting! Slightly awkward price, but if he maintains an average of 80-85 like you say, great stepping stone. Great user of the ball and is getting a bit of it. For a wee little fella, he has a crack too!
I'm thinking of downgrading Crouch to Taranto......... my stepping stone to Danger. (hopefully)
Upgrading Garlett to Fisher.......... much faster cash generation!

Backline would be a bit exposed tho who's D7-8? Back rookies are doing well however so should be worth it.
have byrne and bell
trade bell > fisher and field lmurphy
or
trade byrne > bonner and field fritch

Pretty convinced this is what I will go with
Naughton and Murphy on the bench, with the ability to swing Sicily and Keeffe to loophole each week should be fine for a couple of weeks
I get Dusty this week, Danger next week and then I've got Danger, Dusty, Titch, GAJ, J.Kelly, Fyfe, T.Kelly, Holman which can hopefully produce and hold the fort whilst I then make my first upgrade in the forward line shortly after

Looks good RD, love that midfield so early in the season
My POD pick in Menegola has back fired hard so I'll be trading him to Heeney.
My other trade is a toss up between Kruze and Bont.
Bont still wasn't convincing in my opinion, even though he hit the ton. Macca looks to be the best mid at the dogs ATM.
Kruze could be in for another injury interrupted season after being so good last season. Big worry.
Will more than likely hold both if they play, but I've been burned in the past by holding premos hoping they come good. (looking at you heater)
The two Im ditching are Crouch and Bell (what was I thinking). I have two options that work.
Option 1 - Crouch to Conglio and Bell to D.Smith
Option 2 - Crouch to Oliver/Parker/Pendles and Bell to Fisher/Christensen
Thoughts? Currently leaning to Oliver and Fisher as Im not convinced Smith can be a top 6-8 forward.
Hmmmmm fix cash generation or chase the points, what to do?

I'd probably go the first option; Coniglio certainly looks like a top 10 forward with his game at the moment and I'd back Devon in to stay at the coalface. I don't think Woosha ever intended to play him as a forward and he puts in more effort around stoppages than just about everybody else in red and black right now.
2 keepers vs 1 keeper and a mid pricer

I still agree
I don't really like the idea of trading out a premium level player but with Hibberd scoring poorly right now and about to lose some value I have the possibility of trading him to Clayton Oliver (who I am a massive fan of) by moving Finlayson back to defence.
The defence rookies are looking reasonably reliable and the extra mid premo looks amazing!
Do we really need to trade Hibberd or should we hold and give him more time?

Good trade I think. I’ve done similar, traded Hibberd to a premium on another line and backed in the defense rookies.
Still so torn about Bont...if Dogs keep playing like this he will be rubbish. I'm tempted to burn a trade on someone who will net me the most cash whilst scoring well, then trade that person onto Danger when he's peaked. I'd be holding trades otherwise, but being well ranked I feel like I need to make a ballsy move early. Options are Taranto for the biggest cash grab, or go to Cripps/Jelwood for the price rise and solid scoring. Does anyone think Jelwood or Cripps can be keepers? I could then get Danger later, just feel Bont is gonna burn me and it will be a case of shoulda, woulda, coulda. :-\
atm thinking Bont - Oliver and ZGL - Garlett

Can then pick the best defender premos when they become clearer. If Hibberd becomes one I will still look at him.
I may have started Clarry instead of Danger if not for the reported knee injury.

Looking at the same, can bring in Danger to go with Titch, Dusty, Ablett, Fyfe and Cripps.
Geez, I'm finding it hard enough to trade Hibberd, let alone Bont.
The guy is a superstar. Surely he gets to play his proper position soon and returns to his best scoring.
He has my Bombers this week. Watch him go....
I've got two more options and what to do.
Option 1: Naughton to Bonner (7.6k in the Bank)
Option 2: Brayshaw to Bonner (via Finlayson) (About 66k in the bank)
Option 1 is the better options terms as points but Option 2 will leave me with a lot of cash to due another trade if needed. Which option is better?
Uncertain on what options to take
1. Hibberd- Bonner + 335k
2. Hibberd - Simpson (No Bonner)
and
3. ZGL- L.Murphy (via Sicily)
4. Naughton- L.Murphy
Or no trades on one or either fronts

Option one I reckon. Freo have faith in Brayshaw and he has a better scoring role than Noughton. I think he will come good. Only needs a couple of good scores to start accumulating cash and JS great.

Are Brayshaw and Naughton both on the bench?
Who moves to the bench if that is the case?
How does it affect your on field team?
Obviously you would want Bonner and Finlayson both on field so these questions help the decision in regards to fielding the best team possible.
Hibbered and Dow to Fisher and Coniglio or Heater.
Hibbered no longer taking kick outs and the inclusion of lever seems to be taking away a couple of touches that is probably the difference between a 75 and a 90 odd. Dow might get a 60 or so here and there but not sure if he'll be a great cash cow.
Fisher has put on a bit of size and is a very smart and damaging player who loves to tackle. Coniglio pumped out two 120+ and now no scully for a while probably helps him. Or Shaw who looks to be getting more of the ball out of the backline again.
Are these good trades or am I chasing points and wasting trades.

Head says don't use any trades, gut says get rid of Bont. The smart move isn't always the right move. I'll wait till teams are announced before I make a decision. Have 100K in the bank, but not enough to go Bont to Danger otherwise that would be the problem solver. Thanks for the input mate.
Thoughts on this...
Hibberd -> Bonner
Dunkley -> Taranto
Banking $400k for future upgrades....
Leave Hibberd and get rid of Bont to Coniglio- $125k made and just sit
A trade used to be considered justifiable if it made / saved over around $100,000?
Hibberd to Bonner
Three round projection saving = $180,000
But lose a potential keeper, maybe some points along the way but it is tempting especially with all those lovely trades just sitting there burning a hole in my pocket.

It is very tempting, but at this stage I going for Simpson
CEY an option? Crouch bro's out for awhile, could be a very worthy cash cow.
Might have seen a better option now. Trade out Bont, swing Finlayson to the mids and bring in Simpson to the back line. He has a fantastic run coming up and he is a definite keeper rather than taking a risk on another mid who might not be a keeper by the end. Backline will be Laird, Simpson, Lloyd, Sicily, Seedsman and Doedee on field which is very solid early. If Sicily does end up being a keeper I can swing him forward eventually for a bit of cover. Think this is my safest move this week whilst still keeping $$$ in the bank for a mid upgrade.
in a bit of a pickle,
I dont see hibbo being as prolific as last year with the inclusion of lever and with lewis spending more time in the back half, his intercept possessions are way down, so in saying this ive got 2 options
Option 1: Hibbo > Bonner
Zorko > Danger + 150k that allows me to go dunkly to mclean/gray/heeney (maybe) as early as round 4 with 1 trade
Or
Option 2: Keep Hibbo
dunkley> Waterman
Zorko > Danger + nothing in the kitty and risk waterman being dropped/being a slow burn rookie and needing to wait for
upgrade potential
Thoughts?

Probably option 2. Better cash generation and gets Danger.
Points or cash?
Looking at Brayshaw to either Bonner or L Ryan via dpp.
Which is better long term?
Already doing Hibberd to Simmo this week.
Was going to go -
Dunkley to Ryan and
Naughton to Sicily
but obviously Siciliy stuffed that.
Is it work still doing the same nut getting Bonner in?
It basically means Keeping Dunkley or getting Bonner which would allow me to put Murray on the pine but have to field Ryan Fritsch or Garlett
With No Sicily, Giles-Langdon and Greene in doubt this week.
I'm going Roberton to Bonner for hopefully similar scoring and cash grab and
Giles-Langdon to Zac Fisher (Alternative was L Ryan but was his 115 a fluke and his 38 more like it...)
Am I crazy to drop Roberton for this move?
Back line will be
Laird, Simpson, Sicily, Bonner, Doedee, Finlayson (Murray, Naughton)
Fwd Line
Heeney, D Smith, Greene, Fisher, Stephenson, Fritsch (Venables, Keeffe)
Do I move Sicily on or not? Unsure if he can improve his maturity on the field or not just yet.
Potentials from moving him on are
Sicily > Bonner
Keeffe/Naughton > Ryan
Giving me 190-240k in the bank
or Try to sideways him to Simpson which will require a second trade of Brayshaw for the money.

Both of those trades look like a waste to me. You started with Sicily (like me and others) for a reason, Bonner will only be another guy you will prob have to trade out again, 2 game sample size does not = proven. Assume Keeffe was there as a loophole option, otherwise not sure why you would've started with him? Ryan will see a nice price rise, but unsure if he can keep it up, looks lively all time but will have quiet games.
Hey crew need some help please.
Mistake - Weitering and Brodie (GC)
Option 1 - Weitering to Bonner and Brodie to Fisher via DPP of McLean. $28k
Option 2 - Weitering to Bonner and Caddy to Fisher $230k

I put faith in the rookie defenders this year. (Too much faith in Weitering)
Def - McGovern, Savage, Weirering, Finlayson, Murray, Doedee (Naughton and L Murphy)
Mid - Martin, Mitchell, Kelly, Fyfe, Coniglio, T, Kelly, A Brayshaw and Holman (Brodie, Banfield and Barry)
Rucks - Gawn, Goldstein (Cameron)
Fwd - Franklin, Greene, McLean, Smith, Caddy and Sicily (L Ryan and Fritsch)

As a doctor our perception is money would be no problem. ;D as I walk past Tesla 75D in Doctors parking spot outside my office.
Do the trade Doc. Hibberd is not turning it around whilst he is has current role to play.
ZGL to Murphy straight up, but two options on how to do it:
Move Garlett into FWD, Finlayson to MID (Playing L Ryan/Venables) OR
Sicily to FWD (Playing Brayshaw/Banfield)
Leaning towards option two I think?

I'd go Caddy to a rookie forward and Weitering to a premo
3 Trades I want to do this week
ZGL -> Ryan
Crouch -> Dusty
Hibberd -> Simmo
Obviously can only do 2, leaning towards the first two due to injury but worried about carrying Hibbo any further. What do?
Decided to keep Hibberd think will come good and trade Crouch to Taranto via Garlett DPP to mids and then Armitage to Cripps gets Garlett of the ground in the forward line

I don't really like the idea of trading out a premium level player but with Hibberd scoring poorly right now and about to lose some value I have the possibility of trading him to Clayton Oliver (who I am a massive fan of) by moving Finlayson back to defence.
The defence rookies are looking reasonably reliable and the extra mid premo looks amazing!
Do we really need to trade Hibberd or should we hold and give him more time?
Good trade I think. I’ve done similar, traded Hibberd to a premium on another line and backed in the defense rookies.
Can then pick the best defender premos when they become clearer. If Hibberd becomes one I will still look at him.
I may have started Clarry instead of Danger if not for the reported knee injury.
If I do go ahead with this trade it will be two years in a row I have picked up Oliver in Rd3. Better start him next year!

Am really on the fence with trading ZGL out myself. I'm not sure whether the extra 100-150k you'll make from the trade is justifiable, given that ZGL will make cash when he comes back in.
Atm I'm leaning towards holding ZGL, but I really don't know.

yeah agreed. i think he will slot straight back in to the team and make nice cash for us. i just hope we don't need the extra bench cover in those 4 weeks. although i have garlett i can swing with stephenson so it should be ok. would rather fix poor premo selections myself.

I would say Barry has the better JS of those two. He laid 7 tackles last week. His first game was a low score but he had 22 disposals and seems to have fit in to the team well.
Thinking i'll lock in Byrne to Bonner but still need to bring in Ryan. Could trade out either Naughton, Langdon or even Dayne Beams
T Bell on the chopping block for my 1 corrective trade
ZGL and Dogarty out is an inconvenience but I dont mind sitting then on the bench for now.
Not interested in English, Venables or Waterman, L Murphy is interesting
My thoughts are:
Naughton -> L Murphy (for $$$)
T Bell - > Taranto

both good choices, dependin on how many rookies you are starting in mids and fwds. fwd rookies are not scoring as well so good to have 5 solid options in place. Also Taranto has good chance to be keeper or f7 later in the year.

Who you upgrading to Dusty Crowls?
Who to trade out Dunkley (BE 21 and liked him rd 1 87, rd 2 he couldn't find it as much) but he attends centre bounces and with libba out should make good coin or Brayshaw the overpriced rookie who isn't delivering.
Both are in place to make cash, but dunkley is on the field as fwd rookies are bad. So im not loosing anything by trading Brayshaw expect maybe 50-90k IF he comes good. Unsure, trading Brayshaw allows me to have zero rookies on field up forward.

coin flip. both capable of f6/7
Thinking to keep Hibberd for now and trust he will come good.
Considering the following:
* Lobb to D Smith
Smith looks like a potential keeper and should provide a more consistent return if he keeps playing midfield and only costs an extra ~40K. Lobb may even lose money this week with a BE of 78.. I don’t trust Lobb after watching his first two famed so see this as a failed mid pricer to potential keeper trade
* Brayshaw to Ryan (via Garlett DPP)
Whilst Brayshaw has great JS, so do a lot of other rookies, he is riding the bench for me at the moment with Kelly and Holman starting.
If he stays on a 60 average it will take him till round 10 to make $100K. Ryan will make more than that in the next two rounds + the 80K price saving. Also opens up DPP mid-fwd for me.
Thoughts?

I don't think he is looking to trade Bundy - sounds like he is trying to decide who to pick out of the two
Tough decision. Depends on how much that 100k will do for you I guess.

Bit of mid price madness there mate.
Fogarty --> Ryan would be one move definitely.
Either hold Caddy or go up to a Petracca/Smith/Walters/McLean type if you can afford it.
What would be the better option?
Option 1: Sicily - Bonner + ZGL - Fisher
Option 2: Bont - Coniglio + ZGL - Fisher
Option 3: Bont - Coniglio + Naughton - Bonner
Fisher becomes F6
Bonner becomes D3 option 1 and D4 option 3
Coniglio M5
Decided on 2 trades that I'm happy with and don't feel like its a waste.
1. Bont -> Simmo via Finlayson DPP
2. Langdon -> Bonner via Sicily DPP
Happy with my team so happy to make Danger my next upgrade rather than sacrifice for him, and don't want to sit on dead cash in Langdon. Leaves with this team:
Def: Laird, Simpson, Lloyd, Seedsman, Bonner Doedee (Murray, Naughton)
Mid: Titch, Dusty, Parker, Fyfe, Coniglio, Kelly, Holman, Finlayson (Brayshaw, Banfield, Barry)
Ruc: Gawn, Goldy (Olango)
For: Buddy, Billings, Smith, Sicily, Lobb, Fritsch (Ryan, Venables)
I feel this maximises my cash generation as well as allowing me to put up solid scores. Hoping Keefe can get into best 22 so I can swing him with Sicily. Prob won't use any more trades until LTI's or cows are fat.

I think from the general feel of what ppl are thinking is that Taranto has a better chance at being a keeper. I'd rather pay that extra then for a non keeper or f7.

heres my team:
(https://i.gyazo.com/c8f0d0dd04ac6afd3bd60ac689f91070.jpg)
12.7k remaining
Obvious one is Brayshaw to a cheaper rookie then Zork to Dusty
Armitage to christensen or fisher via walters into midfield. Zorko to martin.
Rumour is armitage was close to being dropped this week so hes worth booting
Who to trade out of Brayshaw (-3) or Dunkley (BE 21)
Keeping Dunkley allows me to have zero rookies on field up forward.
Dunkley also gets midfield time

Bell to Christensen or Fisher?
Lol, right street, wrong house there buddy..
? Who's the alternative, or are you saying I should be posting this in the other thread? I couldn't afford Taranto by 18k.
Forgive me, I done it again, I vote Bundy
Done Rockliff -> Macrae and ZGL -> Ryan.
Hibberd gets another week, but theres a certain Hawk named I'm looking at downgrading him to if he has a good first two games...

So, I am already going Langdon to Ryan.
Not sure what's best next.
1. Naughton to Bonner
2. Brayshaw to Bonner, Findlayson to the mids
3. Hibberd to Bonner
4. Hibberd to Shaw
5. Hibberd to Simpson.
6. Hold for now.

5 is the most appealing IMO. Not entirely sure if I'd do it though.

Too much ifs and buts on Hibberd so corrective action to be safe IMO. I've gone him to Bonner and used cash to upgrade Rayner to Taranto.
Hibberd to Simpson
Langdon to Barry
Hold Bont
or
Langdon to Barry
Bont to Cripps/Oliver
or
Brayshaw to Barry
Bont to Dusty

dusty a must have.
Worth going Lobb > Bundy @ F4? Lobb not performing as expected Bundy looking like a good stepping stone.

Coniglio or Taranto + 87k?
Coniglio

Christensen + 100k vs Taranto is my bid headache! Thoughts appreciated!
Bundy

should i go zac langdon to waterman??
If you have Fritsch, Ryan, Venables already then yeh sure. Garlett another option. All have JS risks though

Hold Bont. Give him another couple, he'll come good
It's done. I've lost faith in Hibbo/Lambert. Welcome Cogs/Simmo.
Only used 1 trade. Naughton to Ryan via Sicily DPP.
Went Naughton to Ryan via Sicily (Murray with the E, so that worked out!)
Bont to T Mitchell
Don't like trading premos but Mitchell looks like a must have
Was going to wait till next week but is Lobb - Taranto worth it?
Have thought about Brayshaw-Fogarty and then stock up on cash for next weeks trades

Can’t go wrong with those trades mate.
I went B.Ellis to Simpson, and to help with the two outs in my forward line (Caddy and Sicily as well as ZGL), I traded Brayshaw to Taranto and moved him forward.
ZGL to Murphy (Adl - move Sicily fwd) or Hold?
This would leave murray d6 naughton and murphy on bench
Sicily f5 dunkley f6 no fwd rooks on field next week.
Thinking Brayshaw to Fogerty to grab the cash................ but worried about Fogerty's JS?
Then Crouch to Oliver or Parker, most probably the former!?
Zorko out for who?
Super Prem or downgrade prem?
Take garlett or trade langdon to ryan?
ZGL --> Gowers or hold and wait for a better rookie/use ZGL to loophole the forward rookies for a month?

I’d lean towards Zorko out to a premium, keeps your structure the same.
I’m personally keeping ZGL, I like his JS once he’s back to 100%. Might even come back early, we’ve seen that with hand injuries in the past.
