Round 20 trades......
- Thread starter captainchardonnay
- Start date
Hard for Cotch to score well when the Tiges are getting pole-axed every week ... but I'd probably stick to bringing in Dahl in your possie. I still have scars from last year when I ran out if trades and copped a donut from Fyfe in the grand final.
If you have more than one trade, can I throw Naismith into mix as a fed - job security is growing, still priced as a bargain, scores well and the extra cash you make around 200k can be used to prop up elsewhere

Wow.
It may work out for you as he's looked better in the past couple of weeks. I'll be barracking for him extra hard for you.
I have 3 trades, 20k, plus Hall, Wells and Stef who may all hurt me in the next few weeks if I only have 1 trade left. The way I see it, at worst Motlop averages what Libba would have anyway. At best he beats up on the lower ranked teams, has 25 and 4 goals for the next 4 weeks and averages 125. I wouldn't do it if I had more trades, could afford Dahlhaus or was top 4 in most of my leagues. Can't hurt to have a crack.Wow.

I picked up Motlop when he was as low as u can go and averaging 50-60 partly as coverage for my bench but also given his big early scores when he was fit and injury free.
I have bench loopholed him last 3 weeks as he is a confidence player and you don't know whether he will go 110 or 60 - fortunately as cats have played early this has worked and he has earned his stripes as his work rate is up and he is injury free. It also helps him when the cats don't play ES, he likes the bigger grounds.
He is also mid/fwd so extra benefits, I'm just hoping that his renewed interest continues and he finds that form of earlier in the year.
5 Trades left - 129k. Teams announced. Need some creative minds please.

You have to cover that ruck donut. Think about offloading Deledio for a Naismith or Hickey type. Then I would chuck the C on Smith in the guts and see how he goes. If he scores 80+ then take it. If not then trade Thompson or Hall to anyone.
If this was me, with 5 trades and 129k I would get aggressive.
Deledio to Naismith
Smith to Zerrett
It means next week (hopefully) you get Hall and Thompson back, Tippa and Petracca go back to your bench as cover and you have decent ruck cover for the next few weeks as well.
I see where you're coming from but I'm just not sure that the top teams, chasing %age are going to rest too many. The Bye before finals potentially limits players games time in the final month already and I think coaches are going to want as much continuity as poss as a result. Peddles is a great option too obviously but even he has had a cloud over his fitness this week. It's a gamble either way.
He's definitely less likely to not be rested than rested but I do think he could spend some time forward &/or manage his minutes in game, I think Danger will be the same tbh it's just that Danger kicks goals when he goes forward.
