So for the people who haven't yet joined the Zero Trades Club, it might be time. Especially if you're a NicNat owner like myself.
So what are we thinking for trades this week? (If any.)
Don't laugh, but I'm still stuck with Michael Hibberd with only 5 trades left.
Thinking of ditching him for Houli mainly out of spite, can't afford anyone else >:(
Holding steady at 6 and dont need to trade this week.
Getting an itchy finger to double trade and bring in Menegola as F7/M9 cover though.
I'll be bringing in Buddy this week, perfect time given his price & his upcoming opponents. Have checked out the draw and he can be loopholed most weeks with T.Smith.
Macrae IN 8)

Breakeven 176, could go 130 this week and the drop wouldn't be too bad, my main reason for trading is the guy I'm trading out is dropping just as quickly, with far fewer points.
Edit: A score of 130 would be a 15k drop. Not too shabby given the guy averages 126.

Fair enough, I was looking to go Dusty to Macrae, but NicNat has forced my hand.
NicNat and fyfe out.
Either
S.Martin and a 530k mid in
Or
C.Sinclair and mcrae in.

I'd go Sinkers and Macrae. Apart from Selwood at 536k it's slim pickings at that price.
If Martin,Sinclair,Selwood and Macrae maintain their current average you'll be ahead in points with this combo.

Definatley leaning towards that way.
Sinclair is an upgrade from nicnat in terms of average too.
Realllly want Macrae, but don't see a way to get him without trading out another prem...
Looking to find a replacement for NIc Nat under 501k as I only have 2 trades left.
Need to decide between Sinclair, bellchambers and witts.
What does everyone think about those choices? Mainly have my eye on one off sinclair and bellchambers

Like i said higher up Sinclair has a better average than NicNat anyway.

Yea leaning towards sinclair at the moment. Only thing tempting about bellchambers is that he is coming up against a freo without sandi & darcy

Saw him hobble off with a groin issue towards the end of the game. unless cramp, you'd think a few weeks out.
If Macrae goes sub 120 and Guelfi has another good game, I might be in a position to get Macrae in and move Rocky or Martinto M9. Fingers crossed..
Well now that Nic Nat is confirmed to miss the rest of the season, I need to decide who to get in.
There are a few things I could do:
1. Go all in and get Grundy, but have little money in the bank and hold the last trade for injuries.
2. Get Goldy, same as getting Grundy but will have more money to play with for injury trades.
3. Get Stef instead, have more money in the bank and possibly upgrade Dusty to Macrae in a few rounds.
Nicnat to Martin

Grundy or Goldy, your bound to need that 1 trade to fix an injury at some point anyway, goldy in some great form but grundy is grundy, take ur pick. Id go grundy
So, I have NicNat, 2 trades, and no money (well, not enough to make a difference).
Juuuuuuuuuust short of straight trading to Sinclair (or Nank). But, I kept Fyfe on the bench, as I have Hoff for floating mid/fwd cover.
1) Straight trade to Sauce, and keep one trade
or 2) DG Fyfe to someone (Curnow?) for a little bit of cash and restoring mid/fwd cover, and then NicNat up to anyone, but caution to the wind with no trades...
Thoughts?

Yeah tough one Fyfe will be a POD if you can keep him and the rucks available for one trade aren't much chop Jacobs just throws in to many stinkers take a punt on Bellchambers or Lycett ? but one thing for sure having no trades this far out will probably not go well.

How about Bellchambers? In good form and has a decent run of ruck opponents (including Freo no Sandi, Port no Ryder,Saints)
Or Witts? Gives u more cash for emergency trade and averaging 6 more than Sauce.
Belly averages 10 more than Sauce.
I'd rather have a trade left.

Very similair position to me.
Nicnat and fyfe to deal with.
2 trades left.
Wingard as floating cover.
I had 38k in bank
Went sinclair and mcrae.
Seeing as you have cover are probably better going for a better ruckman and downgrading fyfe to someone amd loop players each week possibly
Quote from: BundyOP on July 16, 2018, 07:28:07 AM

Either

Nicnat and sicily out
Sinclair and Hurn in
Have to hold on to fyfe.
Thankfully have wingard and ahern as coverage for fyfe and gray

Advice about Sicily trade?
Team:
Def - Lloyd, Laird, Yeo, SICILY, Howe, Ryan (Mihocek, Redman)
Mid - Mitchell, Cripps, Gaff, Oliver, J.Kelly, Merrett, Crouch, Martin (Phillips, Giro, Barry)
Ruck - Gawn, Grundy (Olango)
Fwd - Heeney, Franklin, McLean, Westhoff, Walters, Boak (Ahern, T.Smith)
6 trades - 95k in bank. Currently leaning option 1 or 3.
Option 1 - Sicily to Simpson
Option 2 - Sicily to McDonald and Martin to Macrae
Option 3 - Sicily to Webster and Phillips to Menegola/De Goey (leaves one of Menegola/DeGoey/Boak as floating M9/F7 cover)

Option 3. It creates an extra loophole possibility for you in mids as well as DPP and better cover.
Well, flower. Thanks for the advice guys, but Sicily out also means I guess I'm holding Fyfe :P
NicNat to Belly sounds like a winner. Sicily to Hurn. Join RD at the 0 trades club. Pray haha.
With my final trade:
Sicily > Lloyd.
Unfortunately, I have 200k left over which becomes worthless, but oh well.
Sicily â€"> Hurn
Have to change plans with Sicily out....
Sicily to Hurley this week
Last trade.....
looking at Tim Kelly to Macrae next week ($6,000 short this week)
Keeping Fyfe

Thinking Sicily and TSmith > TMac and Buddy with Walters being M9/F8
Or could risk it with Sicily to Lloyd trade but if Gray is out, then I’m eating a donut.
I can do Sicily and hibberd to Brayshaw and Webster, leaves me with 0 trades tho but cover everywhere bar rucks

Hibberd should only miss one week.
Is it worth having no trades just to avoid a rookie/donut score one week?
One or two injuries and you'll be copping alot more than that in the finals.
Save the last trade.

You're a week late on 3! Lynch,Narkle and Sier, but they're still under 200k.
O'Riordan from Swans played one game but shaky JS, Long from Bombers on bubble but again shaky JS.
No trades this week will sit on Sicily for another week have cover with Mihocek and Richards and Battle will cover Gray if he is a late out
Sicily to Hurley, leaves 141k in the kitty and can double trade E.Phillips and Ahern to a rookie and Macrae next week. Though have Mihocek as emergancy so if by chance he goes 90+ I may just hold for a week.
I have changed my mind so many times this week. At this stage I am leaning towards this as my FINAL two trades....
I have chosen not to trade in Macrae in order to have cover in the Fwds and Backs
It's pi$$ing me off not getting Macrae, but I need some cover apart from the mids

I could wait another week and play without a donut but as it stands I only have $5,400 left over. I may not be able to do those trades if I leave it for another week
why no love for lycett taking over as the number 1 ruck? 377k
Will see how Rice goes tonight before trading Sicily.
If I do trade him, as much as I want/need Jake Lloyd, I think it has to be to TMac to keep the dpp link
Traded in Ryan for Sicily to free up some cash leaves me with enough to trade Crouch to McRae however with only two trades left it it worth it or hold the extra trade
Quote from: mark621 on July 20, 2018, 12:36:57 AM

If you need or can use the extra cash could be worth it. Could see him going 85-90 average. Probably 10-15 less than a Martin but depends what you can do with the savings.

Do I grab Brayshaw or Ryan for Sicily? I think brayshaw is best available of who I don’t have but Ryan leaves me roughly 70k so I can hopefully go crouch to Macrae in two weeks at the start of finals.
Have 4 trades left atm. Thoughts on which way to go?
