Newman is an obvious in. Thought on getting rid of Jarrod Pickett as M10 for Parfitt? Also, O'Meara......what do we do?
Round 4 Trades
- Thread starter deadoralive
- Start date
JSmith > Newman is a no brainer for me
My other trade I have to move out Gawn, 4 weeks is too long to have him sitting on the pine. Considering moving Nank into the rucks and taking my pick of the Fwds (possibly Nroo, Greene or Macrae) this just leaves me a bit exposed for cover for Sandi when he gets rested (I know it's coming) as I only have Strnadica on the pine. Just a straight swap to Grundy or Martin is another possibility...I can see myself changing my mind 50 times this week

My biggest issues this week are:
1) Is Marc Murphy for real? Or am I chasing last weeks points? The swap would be JOM > Murphy. Leaning towards no trade.
2) I want to bring in Newman but have no viable trade out option. T.Stewart is the one that would go being the worse of my rookies. Will Newman make $150k more to justify this trade? Again, leaning towards no trade.
Overall I am quite happy with my start (top 4%) and also have $340k in the bank so very flexible at the moment. I have too many mid-pricers (Nank, ZJones, Roughy, Swallow, Steele, JOM, Sandi, Witts) and was ready to upgrade one on to a premium if under-performing after 2 or 3 rounds and apart from JOM they all have shown enough to keep them in with averages over 84.

Also, another thought is with Witts at R3, should a trade be made to allow flexibility to get him on the field to trade in a Stradnica (or whatever his names is)? Worth another thought.
Gawn to Witts and Hibberd to Newman are locked for me this week.
Sitting in to top 700 atm with alot of luck on my side. Any thoughts on what I should do with my Rucks? I have Goldy Sandi and Pruess. Was thinking goldy to witts and smith to newman leaving 300k in bank. Was hope to ride my luck for one more roud and upgrade rookie to gun for round 5.
Anyone considering bringing in Fox should just be cautious. He's a rookie elevation but both Papley and Rohan are due to be taken off the long term injury list this week meaning someone's gotta go off the main list.
Goldy is a worry, I mean do we know he will get R1 back from preuss in a few weeks? I have Witts so I could wait? But I want to get nank in now and swing him forward when Gawns back or get whoever is solid to pair up with Sandi near years end.
One Josh Caddy has to go, was always a silly starter in my team who to replace him with is a big issue as still really unsure who the best forwards are, I'm tempted to bring in Burton from the Hawks pocket some cash from the move and give me at least another week to have a look at the forwards, I was impressed with him last season and he looks to have got better this year I think that DPP could be quite helpful down the track also.
Newman will come in most likely for Hibbard

Flicked Caddy for Nankervis last week ... if Richmond had selected Soldo as a second ruck to replace Griffiths I wouldn't have done it but they went like for like by bringing in Elton I took the punt on the Nank.
I thought about down gradibg him to WHE last week opted against it in the end, I suppose it's a good sign in a way that's it's the blokes in my team that I was a little worried about starting that have caused me the most grief so far (Hanners aside).

Massive Podcast coming up this week from the boys. If you see this lads I need some guidance on Gawn.
Two options:
PREMO FWD OPTION:
Trade Gawn to Roo and move Nanki into the rucks? Sounds dangerous, not in love with the idea of having no ruck cover but the addition of Roo into my forward line would be awesome. Also is Nanki and Witts going to hold up? Can they keep going?
PREMO RUCK OPTION:
The simple way, trade Gawn to Grundy. Or perhaps a Mummy, Stef or even Tom Hickey? Giving me a solid replacement for Gawn. I have Treloar, Adams and WHE from my boys so don't really want to take another one into the weekend haha.
