Colliwobblers 2025

Likely round 2 side.

Neale to Rozee. (very temped by Soligo for cash gen but he played saints so that score is inflated).
Prior to SDK. (very undecided on SDK or Freija here, but likely end up with both in another week).
Garcia to LAshcroft.

Expectations for round 2 trades.

Perryman to Freija / Premo.
Tsatas to Lindsay / NOD.
Sanders to Hall to pay for Premo defender or the likes of Graham/Kennedy/Baker/Finlayson.

Dependent on Perryman and or Sanders failing again. Given Degoeys return I think I know the answer to one of those already, but you never know.

Those are solid trades, defence looks much better now.

Maybe biased but Neale was against the best tagger in the League. Neale is playing West Coast at home and has an average of 127 against Eagles which is why I am not trading this week and will boost and do 3 trades next week.

Rozee is playing the Tiges and should do well, I think the net gain in defence makes these trades worthwhile.

Completely agree with you, except I think there are plenty more contenders for best tagger, and I also think tagging is back in a big way. But that aside, the ONLY reason I am trading Neale is the need for money to get a rook up to a SDK/Freija in the backline.

I consider my Sanders over Freija pick a mistake and feel there is a hole in the backline. with SDK scoring what he did albeit that cats ruck situation is fluid and it's optimistic to think we will get that every week from SDK, and on the Freija side those mid rotations with Treloar and Bont to come back are also fraught with risk. Either one has to be better than a defensive rook on field.

If I didn't have 2 defender rooks on field I wouldn't be trading Neale, simple as that. The upside is the hope that Neale and or Nick has just one more stinker and one of my many mid priced midfielders will be an easy step up.

Bottom line as you well know is you just don't trade genuine premiums on the odd bad performance, in my case it isn't that, it's the cash needed for a defender upgrade.

I don't think Jordon is the best tagger, but one of his worst performances last year was against the Swans (Giants, Saints and Crows the other 3 games he scored 70's). It is easy to overreact to round 1 performances, but the 41 is a bit alarming.

If that cash helps you fix a glaring hole, I can understand the trade, but Neale absolutely monstered the bad sides last season (WC 143, North 125, Richmond 162, Adelaide 79 and 179, Dees 114 and 109 and GCS 168 and 117). Unless you really have to, I'd be in the hold camp for this week, fix the other issues if you have them and go hard next week

Option B.

Sanders to NOD.
Garcia to Lindsay.
Patton to SDK.

Patton over Prior due to being vested.

Keeps Neale cuts Sanders, I didn't see the game but it sounds like he was terrible.

Leaves me LAshcroft to get next week possibly. And Perryman to Freija next week. Maybe another rookie correction will pop up.

19K in the bank which will be boosted by Perryman to Freija, but still won't be enough to get into another midpricer from a rook.

OPTION C:

Garcia to NOD. gets one out of the 3 I'm missing ticked off.
Perryman to SDK. gets that done a week early and another look at Sanders who can always pay for Freija next week.

$122K in the bank and one trade unused.

Colliwobblers · March 21, 2025, 06:19:52 PM

For me this week now rage trading urges have passed.

And with team news.

Flynn to O'Driscoll.

IF Tsatas SUB - in Lindsay

IF Garcia SUB - in Lashcroft

Otherwise hold fire until next week. only forsee one forced trade next week in Perryman.

Mat0369 · March 22, 2025, 01:24:07 AM

I think Flynn has to go. When he conceded 69 hitouts to Witts, I figured his JS would be shaky. Interesting he was named as the starting ruck and then dropped. Teams are going to be a headcase all year and the sub just adds to the stupidity.

Colliwobblers · March 22, 2025, 08:34:24 AM

Flynn to O'dricoll locked in.

Garcia to Lindsay or Tsatas to Hall. Undecided probably Garcia. (this to pay for Rankine and correct).

Smith to Rankine.

Could regret it but might hold onto Sanders next few weeks while he treads water not losing cash for the easy back up to smith and just deal with perryman and get Lashcroft next week.

Mat0369 · March 23, 2025, 12:53:28 AM

Tsatas scored okay but I didn't watch a lot of the game. Garcia sub is a team killer, hope you were able to shift him out

Yes Tsatas was much better, good role gets plenty of it, stuck his tackles and his disposal was less under pressure think he will be solid. But still lots to come back into that side.

I traded Garcia to Lindsay to get Rankine. So that's my fault Rankine got subbed.

Bit of a messy start for me. 3 trades gone Perryman to deal with, Smith might be a must return and Sanders probably a likely flop.

Colliwobblers · March 23, 2025, 09:12:55 AM

Think I might have to let Smith go, even if he gets back next round.

Few games to go but at this point this is my choices for next week.

OPTION A: Leaves $2,100 in the bank.

Perryman to Sinclair.

Sanders to L Ashcroft.

Paton to O'Sullivan.

OPTION B: Leaves $20,000 in the bank

Perryman to Freija.

Sanders to Smith.

Paton to O'sullivan.

88 from O'Sullivan for a $148,700 def rookie might be a gift from the SC gods.

In out trade of Smith would be nauseating but watching him go 120 for the season could be worse.

It's super coach so if I leave him out he'll average 120 for the season and won't miss another game.

If I bring him back he'll be subbed out injured on 2 and require a third trade to be used on him...

Bully · March 23, 2025, 09:36:35 AM

Sinclair is on the bubble so there's that to consider, I'm going to make him my focus this week.

I'm not going to be able to afford him, didn't figure in perrymans price drop.

So either I stick with sinclair and pass on levi ashcroft and go hall instead.

Or I get levi and go Dale over sinclair.
