Well that's definitely not the reason then! Hopefully he gets a good run at it this year.
Rd 3 trades
- Thread starter Thunderstruck
- Start date
Toss a coin, Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Who does your head say and then go with the other one.
Everyone will have a personal opinion but at the end of the day it comes down to your choice. You are the coach, pick one and don't think twice about it. Both are good selections and started the season great. Parker will save you some $, but I am leaning the way of the advice from the podcast.
Gray because;
- he's the #1 mid at his club (Parker behind Hanners, JPK at least)
- has a better scoring history
- is in his prime (scarily, I think Parker can improve)
- has the easiest SoS

Main difference, Gray has scored as well in losses and Parker has done it in wins. My choice may come down to my other trade and if I have enough money for Gray. I suppose both are as much of an injury risk as eachother. Who do you like watching more? Haha

Hey all
Am looking at 2 potential trades. An upgrade and a downgrade from 2 (supposed) keepers(ish)
Looking to trade out Barlow for Papley which gives me a bunch of cash and i get the best cash cow out there. thoughts?
And looking to trade out Rockliff for an upgrade. Possible choices: Parker, Priddis, Gray or Dangerfield. Or anyone else that looks solid.
Am playing from Canada so havent been able to watch many if any games. Would really love some ideas of what i should do.
Btw my premo mids are: Mitchell, Ablett, Fyfe and Pendles and have Liberatore as well.
My fwds are: Hall, B. Kennedy, Wells, Martin and Kerridge
Please help me!
Cheers

Ranked: 504 overall
Scored 2399 R2
Have 30 trades
Salary: $2,900
My team:
DEF: Shaw, Yeo, Gibbo, Weitering, Dea, Adams, (MBrown, McD-Tipp)
MID: Fyfe, Pendles, Ablett, Parker, Libba, Rockliff, Menadue, Mills, (Hewitt, Davis, Dunkley)
RUCK: Martin, Gawn, (Wyatt)
FWD: Dusty, Barlow, Hall, Wells, Kennedy, Kerridge, (Milera, McCarthy)
Rockliff and Yeo are on the chopping block, Am considering Yeo to Laid and Rockliff to either Crouch or move a fwd to mids and bring in Papley.
Yes it banks $400k but i'm concerned if i bring in paps am I compromising my fwd structure too much?
Thoughts please people!!! Thanks!!

Hello in Canada oilersfan.
There is lots of discussion and advice in the Round 3 Trade thread on exactly these questions - so just join in the discussion there. These exact trades were also discussed on the podcast this week. Well worth a listen. For what it's worth I think Papley looks good if you have a rookie you need to sideways and all for of the upgrade options you mention look solid and should not disappoint. I have Danger and I'm likely to get Robbie Gray in this week. Priddis I'll be all over if he drops in price a bit later in the year. Parker I've decided to let run against me but others are very keen.
In the game against the Saints, Port were absolutely shocking by foot. It was only that St Kilda ran out of steam that they won.
Dont see Port making the 8 the way they are playing. If they can improve their DE% then the SC scores should pick up as well
Luckily I don't have any rookies I need to bring in, so I have decided on the double trade unless Barlow is named in the middle:
Rockliff to Gray
Barlow to Merritt
I'd prefer to have the extra points on field with Gray than keep Rockliff on the bench. Under too much of an injury cloud now for me, I wouldn't bring him back until he has returned to top form.
Decided on Merritt as he has extra midfield time, where Barlow is stuck up forward. I feel Merritt is more likely to score over 110 at this stage, and if he averages 90 I'd be happy. Unsure if Barlow can do that at this stage, taking the 1 trade gamble is worth it imo. Also Barlow is going to go down in value, where Merritt will go up.
If Barlow is named in the middle after all, then I might reverse it. Either way, the Barlow experiment has not been successful.

Take where Barlow is named with little Merrett (wee what I did there)
I wanted to get rid of barlow but because of gresham being dropped i feel i needa get papley, however i could still hold rocky thoughts?
At the moment my trades are looking:
Gresham - Papley via Menadue
Rocky - Gray, Parker, Z merret.

FWIW Exactly my situation and with Gresham dropped in looking at Gresh to Pap via Menadue and Rocky to Gray
Rocky to Merrett, can't say i'm sold on this trade BUT I really liked Merrett pre-season was just scoring potential in a losing side that was the main worry for me, I knew he'd improve playing mainly midfield & that he had the class to make the most of his disposals, obviously he can't keep up 120+ but what do people think of 100-105? that's a top 6 forward I reckon.
I like the idea of getting a genuine FWD premo in for Rocky, Martin or Zorko other options.
