Round 8 Trades

[Muddiemoose]

At this point I've got Vandenburg out for Rockliff and thinking about upgrading Oxley down back with 366 in the war chest but nobody really standing out for me to bring in

What's everybody else planning for this week?

 

[J-Dog]

Vandenberg out, but tossing up between Rockliff or McDonald by swinging Saad to the mids. My defence is shocking atm and part of me wants to see a good game from Rocky before I jump on, but on the other hand he is just so cheap.
Apart from that was thinking Brown to Lever, assuming he is named. Brown has made more cash than I thought he would anyway and I need to ditch a rd 12 bye rookie. Considered Oxley too but just feel there might one or two more big games in him before the bye so I'll likely hold him until then and swap around it.

 

[Trussing meat]

I do want to bring in rocky this week but with a break even of 79 and with him only scoring in the 90s the last 2 games thinking of maybe leaving him 1 more week and hoping he disn't go up to much. Think il trade Macintosh to McDonald and trade Salam to Goldstein by bring Bellchambers into my foward line from the ruck.

 

[writeoff]

Some people to consider:
Rockliff $447 BE 80, ave 63.
Gibbs $445.4 BE 55, 87.
Parker $516.1 BE 42, 99 (120 3GA).
SJ $447.9 BE 28, 88 (102 3GA).
JZ $434.2 BE 42, 89 (102 3GA).
D Beams $567.8 BE 88, 109.
JPK $572.3 BE 86, 114.
Jacobs $522.1 BE 56, 101.
Mumford $532 BE 77, 102.


Jackson Thurlow ($406.4 D/M, BE 20, ave 93, 3GA 108) is another player in form.
3GA = 3 game average

Don't mention Thurlow writeoff, let him sneakily subsist for this week as I was planing on picking him up.

Is everyone 100% sold on Rocky yet? i would love to wait until round 12 to get him. I have NVB, Vanders, Ellis Yolman, Saad, Heeney, Oxley, Kamdyn wish i could trade em all

 

[Tevez17]

Thurlow's disposal efficiency is outstanding and he's slowly adding a bit of contested ball. Huge risk though on a 15 game player.

Deledio interests me.

 

[DropKick]

Thinking of going Vandenberg to Rocky and A Swallow to Luke Parker .... Like Vandenberg , Swallow not doing a lot and lucky to hit his break even

 

[Dino]

McIntosh to Lever is almost a definite for me. My 2nd trade isn't as easy. I have Vanders > Mitchell or Hogan > Maric (swing TBC fwd) as the options I am contemplating. Thoughts?

 

[doddy2731]

Just the one trade this week, just thinking which way to go. Do i just piss Bellchambers off, or swing him down forward? Really liking how my forward line is shaping up and don't want that stain down there, but the cover seems to be invaluable especially after the carnage we have been seeing of late!

 

[TwentyThree]

I decided just to get rid of him. He stinks.

 

[Trussing meat]

Think it's important to keep him. You would hate for a ruckman to go down for 1-2 weeks and have to use a trade cause you have no cover

 

[No Use For A Name]

Vandenberg to Rockliff for just $128K is almost a no brainer. That would leave me with about $240K in the kitty.

But I have 2 options then if I want to use 2 trades this week.

Stockpiling some cash by going McIntosh to Lever and pocketing the $100K (but also would obviously much prefer to get more than that out of my rookies). That would leave me with $340K.

The other option is to go Salem (via T Mitchell to the FWD) to B Ellis. That leaves me with just $44K.

It also leaves me with a number of rookies to trade still in the side - Oxley and Saad down back, Miller, Cripps, CEY, Krakoeur and McKenzie in mids and Tarrant, Hogan and Clark up fwd.

 

[Tevez17]

Very torn this week, Duncan going down he needs to be replaced Rockliff the obvious option & don't think I'll over the it too much,
Time for Lonie to go BE wise but he doesn't look likely to play this week so probably not urgent, Mcintosh could go but he's not doing too bad really, happy to keep Oxley he's got a few more big scores in him.
Lumumba is the one I'd really like to flick this week but options seem few and far between, McDonald I don't really trust but he's winnng at the moment.

Yeo looks like a nice pick up

"@FantasyFreako: 56% of centre bounces since Rnd 4, 2nd to Priddis among mids. 8% Rnds 1-3."

Possible role change means he might continue this elevated output but it depends on how much you are willing to gamble

Cheers mate, another option, already have Docerty, these ex-Bris boys are pretty handy.

 

[doddy2731]

Kelly could return this week for the Cats, only 2 weeks after that ball breaking injury. If he does return i'm sure i wouldn't be the only one to be fuming as initial reports had him out for at least 4.

Yeah I was rather annoyed when reading that, but then I reminded myself that he wasn't actually doing that well anyway.
I have to try and keep positive in these situations haha

 

[doddy2731]

He was starting to show some form and he was on 90+ in that last 1/4 when he went down. Oh yeah and he cost me a bloody trade too.

 

[Steve]

Yeah I was a bit annoyed seeing that but I got Tom McDonald for him so I can't complain too much.
