Title: Re: total trades made before round 4
Post by: elxam on April 20, 2010, 07:04:21 AM
looks like the range is 2-4 trades in the first 4 rds.

whoever has only done 0-1 trades is either an idiot or a genius !!

congrats if you are getting decent scores with no trades - just shows you must have done some serious homework !!

Post by: elephants on April 20, 2010, 09:02:15 AM
i ahve made four but i dont plan anymore until round 7 where i will go ball out ablett in, martin out vince in and nason out hargrave in, nason out adcock in.

obviously i can only do 2 of these four
Title: Re: total trades made before round 4
Post by: Mish on April 20, 2010, 09:16:49 AM
i have only made 2 which i was basically forced too... roo out for brennan and tippet our for seaby.
Title: Re: total trades made before round 4
Post by: stevemac on April 20, 2010, 09:24:00 AM
I've only made 1 - Riewoldt -> Brown,

but the grand plan is to use 3 distinct trading periods throughout the season, capitalising on a rookies 6-8 game peak.

ie. rounds 6-8, 6 trades
rounds 12-16, 6 trades
rounds 18-22, 6 trades

of course ill keep a few trades spare for injuries

Currently caught in two minds. Should use the opportunity to offload rubbish rookies (ie. JKT, Relton) while i have the chance, or wait because theyre bound to play 3 games at some stage, any suggestions?

Only 1 trade--Roo to Brown..

Pods and Rockliff ruining my hold trades till rd 6-7 strategy..

Post by: elxam on April 20, 2010, 12:27:38 PM
seriously thinking of getting rid of Hitch and Gumby for Pods and Rocky
while some premiums are sliding nicely.

18 trades left.

Realistically, will do one.
Title: Re: total trades made before round 4
Post by: Justin Bieber on April 20, 2010, 10:47:12 PM
Have made 0 trades so far :D.

might pull a double trade this round though. but downgrading and upgade 2 rookies likely.

the responses look more and more bell shapped (normal distribution for those more statistically inclined)
would like to see what this looks like in future rds. would be a great indication of what this forum think (do) with trades and trading

The poll needs to be redone, 68 votes and 44 people have voted.

The poll must've allowed you to select more than 1 option, would recommend resetting it and letting people only select 1 option.

Mainly because Dangermouse is out injured.  Take advantage of his $200k price tag to either upgrade elsewhere or cash in
Title: Re: total trades made before round 6
Post by: chatters24 on April 29, 2010, 11:17:49 PM
I have 16 left and won't use any this week as I have up to 4 premiums coming back into the team anyway: Boyd, Bock, Hargrave and Lockyer.
Title: Re: total trades made before round 6
Post by: ossie85 on April 29, 2010, 11:52:22 PM

Lockyer was dropped, and with Collingwood winning by so much, is by no means a certainty to come back.
Title: Re: total trades made before round 6
Post by: valkorum on April 30, 2010, 12:51:42 AM
I agree that Lockyer may not be a certainty to come back in the side, I sure hope he does
Title: Re: total trades made before round 6
Post by: elxam on April 30, 2010, 02:17:29 AM
a premium on the outer not because of form?
the end seems nigh for one of my better defenders last year - don't have him this year though

Title: Re: total trades made before round 6
Post by: chatters24 on April 30, 2010, 04:32:09 AM
Yeh I doubt that he will come back this week, but he will regain his spot in the next few I would think. Bock is another one of my for listed that may not return this week.
Title: Re: total trades made before round 6
Post by: Justin Bieber on April 30, 2010, 06:32:21 AM
Have 19 trades left but might go down to as low as 17 come lockout. Not sure yet and will make the trades later tonight if i come to a decision.
Title: Re: total trades made before round 6
Post by: elxam on April 30, 2010, 09:08:00 AM
DT without making those tough decisions is not really worth it is it HP ?

Am sure whatever you do will be highly tactical for those trades to be worth it.

Should still be 17 after this rd but looking more and more shaky with bench cover for mid and ruck in la la land.

Thanks exlam. Thinking of double trading to get Schoey and Banner out for a rookie + 377k mid. Still trying to decide and we'll see if anything happens ;).

P.S A double trade on the cards in Dt and Sc in one week is getting me all hyped up ;D

Post by: glam77 on May 04, 2010, 05:50:02 AM
have used 8
i'm hoping to get to half season with 6 trades in hand.
build my team first half of the season, and save a handful for when changes are necessary.

in the last few years i think i've left my trading a bit late and wasted potential upgrades by leaving them too late.

it's a "take no prisoners" attitude this time round

16 left right now although I will have to double trade it up due to Seaby going down with injury. So 14 after this round. I think the best scenario would be to have about 15 left right now so 14 isn't too bad.
Title: Re: total trades made before lockout this round
Post by: BU1101 on May 07, 2010, 06:47:11 PM
 I have 12 left. Same attitude as glam77, my team has taken shape now. With roo and seaby costing me 2 injury trades. Averaging a little over 2K, sitting just outside the 5K ranking.

ive used 4 trades and currently sitting nicely just in the top 1000....not making this week but will double trade the next couple when a few of the rookies (trengrove, scully, nason etc) peak....

the main dilemma ive got now is what sort of car i want :P

Title: Re: total trades made before lockout this round
Post by: BratPack on May 08, 2010, 06:37:13 AM
7 for the pack, I could use another one this week (already having used one) to get Seaby out but I don't like my options there yet, so I think I'll just end up taking the 15-20 from Jackson Trengove
Title: Re: total trades made before lockout this round
Post by: RiOtChEsS on May 09, 2010, 03:43:14 AM
il burn 3-4 more trades in the next 2 weeks to transfer $559,400 of my cap into 3-4 premium upgrades 1 back 1-2 midfield 1 forward and my team should be settled with 9-10 trades left in the bank, want to get carrazzo bartel montagna and goodes! might have to wait a little longer on the 2nd midfield trade just so howlett and or shuey ripen up

4 so far.

was tempted to bring in Didak for Hall but that would involve double trades so decided against it as forwards look set with Pods as the 7th
