Back to normality now with just 2 trades to use and no more byes
I finally get to field my completed side so it's going to be nice fielding a full side without any rookies on field!
Just the 1 trade for me
Answerth to Logue
Minimised trades over the byes as I didn't see too many worthwhile trades with limited rookies that had shaky job security and injured rookies that hadn't met their potential as yet. Enter Logue!
Duursma to Logue
B. Scott to Sloane
Leaves me one upgrade in the backline for Whitfield when he returns and drops in price and one upgrade left in the midfield.
O'Brien as cover for now but will undoubtedly have to cash in to ensure my last upgrade. Only have six trades left after the above two, so will only have two trades left for any injuries. Not ideal obviously. Not sure about everyone else, but I've had an ordinary year with injuries and minimal cash generation on rookies before they got injured or dropped.
Is hately gonna come in this week with the injury to DeBoar?
Is Naish going to play the next 3 weeks?
What’s the more likely outcome?
Want to bring one in this week, as back to 2 trades and want to bring Logue and Hind in.
Hore needs to go after yesterday.
Hore > Laird
Team with 2 trades left and $97k in the kitty after I bring in Laird.
B- Lloyd, Hurn, Laird, Stewart, Williams, Logue (Naish, Gardner)
M - J.Kelly, Cripps, Fyfe, Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Dangerfield, Coniglio (Clarke, Hately, Scott)
R - Gawn, Grundy (Bines)
F - Dunkley, Boak, Heeney, Marshall, T.Kelly, Gray (Burgess, Young)
Really worried about my forward bench but at least Dangerfield can cover most of my forwards if a short term injury arises. :(

Trading Hore would be the last thing I'd be doing if I had 3 trades left. The fact that you're willing to rage trade players at this stage in the season explains how you only have 3 trades left.
There is no way you are going to have 6 defenders playing for the next 7 weeks, so you'll need those 3 trades for some injury security.

At least he has a tiny bit of security in his fwd line with the Dangerfield loop, although that only lasts as long as Clarke holds his spot.
However, Naish isn't a matter of if but when he gets dropped (3 weeks max), Gardner will never play another AFL game in his life, and Burgess got dropped after his best performance of the year so I doubt he's coming back anytime soon.
Therefore he has absolutely no defensive cover, with Williams one of the most injury-prone players in the league and Logue a 2nd gamer acting as huge risks.
I'm worried about my cover, and I have a full team, 5 trades left, Logue at D7 and Bewley/Hind M9/10.

I haven't really rage traded any players to be honest.
I traded out Hore early when it looked like he woudn't play again for a while.
Traded Fyfe when he got knocked out to restructure my team as I had no premo defenders so got in Whitfield and Boak which was a win\win for me at the time.
Traded out Dunkley when it looked like he would be stuck up forward all season.
Besides that no real rage trades that I can think of.

If Naish keeps playing well I don't see why he wouldn't keep his spot. Look at Ross and Baker for example.
Burgess could be back at some point. More chance than Gardner I'd say.
A lot of coaches are in a similar predicament to me where they have flower all forward bench cover. I'm just waiting on a gun forward rookie to pop up in the next few weeks. ;D
I do have cash to upgrade Logue eventually if need be but he is going great guns so far. Happy to loophole him with Naish via Gardner for as long as I can.

I agree with most of your post, but is Naish really a certainty to be dropped? Surely he'll hold his spot if he keeps performing, with underwhelming Butler, Castagna, Graham, Higgins, Broad, Menadue types making way instead for returning players.

Everyone should be back from injury in the next 3 weeks.
Our best 18 (without Rance) is:
FB: Grimes, Astbury, Garthwaite
HB: Houli, Vlastuin, Stack
C: Mcintosh, Lambert, Short
HF: Caddy, Lynch, Baker
F: Rioli, Riewoldt, _____.
Foll: Nankervis, Cotchin, Martin
Bench: Balta, Castagna, Prestia, _____.
Which leaves Butler, Graham, Ross, Ellis, Naish, Broad, Bolton, Menadue and Higgins all fighting for 2 spots.
I just can't see Naish fitting into our structure because they prefer Ellis over him, and we can't afford to have too many outside players. (Ellis and Broad were dropped 2 weeks ago due to a drinking incident, not form)
So I traded in Buddy last week. I'm good at this game.
Out of pride I don't really want to trade him back out.
So I'm thinking instead of getting an M8 this week as was planned, I get another forward to push Buddy to F7. Clarke plays at M8 while I wait for the cash to roll in. Kinda sucks, especially since it leaves me with 5 trades.
So at this stage it's:
Burgess > Cameron
Setterfield > Mundy (because I love rollercoasters evidently)
Oh... and there's the Hoff headache...

I'd steer clear of Mundy, with Freo running out of key forwards, he's playing more and more forward and it's really hurting his scoring.

Yeah solid analysis but I'm surprised Castagna is apparently untouchable. His output has been underwhelming for over a year now for mine.
Anyway no team of 22 in AFL history has ever played together as a complete team more than 5 times, so odds are there will always be a player or 2 missing from that best 22 that will allow more fringe guys to get games.
210k in the bank. 8 trades left. duursma & stack left to upgrade.
Might hold off for a few weeks. ranked 2k and cruising in my leagues. need to save some trades for finals.
only thing i might do is baker to hind to get some more cash for the last 2 upgrades.
Hore -> Logue locked in
Other trade depends on Hoff coming back in
Option 1: Thinking of double down this week, Duursma to Naish & Stocker to Hind.
Then ready to pounce next week to complete team plus still have plenty of cash left over for Dunkley week after with Worpel M9/F7.
Option 2: Could get Kelly this week to complete team but won’t have much cash left...thinking Kelly might kill it against the Bombers.

why dont you upgrade duursma this week? you'd have enough cash to upgrade him to almost anyone.
No trades/ just LTI trades now for me.

Waiting for Whitfield to bottom out lol. Can't justify trading duursma to say Stewart or Ryan for a 20 point average increase. If duursma starts bleeding cash then I'll make the trade but happy to hold for now.

Yeah I am going to give Hore another week and see if he can bounce back.
I would rather use the cash I have to go Burgess > Westhoff when he comes back to be my F7\R3 ruck cover.
Libba to Sloane the only trade for me!
Hurn, Lloyd, Ryan, Sicily, Williams, Smith (Answorth, Gardner)
Fyfe, Cripps, Macrae, Neale, Oliver, Coniglio, Sloane, M. Crouch (Clarke, Bewley, Rowbottom)
Grundy, O’brien (Bines)
Dangerfield, Kelly, Boak, Billings, Heeney, Greene (Dylan Moore, Young)
$56,200
6 Trades
All I want to do now is upgrade O’brien To Gawn which hopefully will only take 2 trades.
Greene hasn’t been too bad in recent weeks and has been running in the midfield a bit so I’m happy to keep him at F6. Smith is the only one that I’m not too happy about being in my final team as he has been scoring less and less as the season has went on but sadly I would rather keep him and save the little trades I have left.
Think I have all the top premiums on each line (apart from Gawn) so I’m pretty happy with where my team sits. No cover on any of my benches is a concern.
All or nothing approach for me now, slightly disappointed with my bye campaign so I'm going for broke. Hore to Logue, Smith to Hurn. Team complete apart from Logue but he can warm the seat until Whitfield returns, should have enough dosh to get him in 1 trade if he drops below 500k.
3 trades left so will require some luck but it's top 1000 or bust.
Duurs > Laird.
Team 'complete'.
MIDs are a bit thin.
DEF, RUC & FWD cover non-existent.
D6 Sicily
M8 Angus
GG
F6 Billings
Total Average = 2398.
I'm stuck, need to upgrade in my mids, but my fattened cows are in the back line. 550k in the bank and 8 trades remaining...help.

Yeah you might be right, was hoping I didn't need to burn many more trades on downgrades. Was planning on bringing in Hurn for Hore, but my back line looks fairly strong for now. Jelly was definitely top of the list.
I have 12 trades and 54K, sitting pretty comfortably in cash league and ranked 1670 overall, have a few trade ideas so far this week but not sure if i should trade in my midfield or defence, my backline is more of a worry but don't want to miss out on Sloane.

Ive come up with so far:
A. Burgess - Logue
Hore - Stewart
B. Burgess - Hind (via Duursma)
Hore - Ryan
C. Burgess - Logue
Walsh - Sloane
Duursma was in my backline originally but i traded Answerth during the byes and now hes stuck in the mids :(
Hopefully Whitfield comes back soon or else hes got to go for Hurn

I’d go C. And stick it out with Whitfield. You’ve held him this long, so look for other options to upgrade around him

Cheers for the reply!
Option C was my initial option but i have realised i have Burgess at D6 :o
I could swing Rozee into D6 and play Begley at F6 but not sure.
Yes i have held Whitfield but im hoping he comes back in 2 weeks.
Thinking Answerth to Logue and Gibbons to Hind leaves me with $312,500 in the bank and only 6 trades left needing 3 prems.

The rub... only 2 trades left. Risky but think it’s worth it

I like it, I'm in a similar situation & kind of wish I did that instead of trading in Hayden. Down to 3 trades myself but I figure Logue will be good for a 70 average, that will be handy bench cover.
Hore > Weller
Hayes > Naish
Those with Brad Crouch, are we thinking of trading or holding at M8?
Part of me is tempted to flick him to a Sloane/Duncan type, but he has been a solid pick. Just needs to clean up his disposal.

3rd average of 117, ranked 5th of pure mids. 5rd of 110 better than Sloane, Cripps, Oliver, Neale. Wasted trade at this stage

I don't have Brad Crouch, but if I did I wouldn't be trading him unless my whole team is fully finished and I have luxury trades left up my sleeve.
Hore -> Logue (should score about the same), allows me to do
Answerth -> Sloane (should score much much better).
5 trades left.
Couple of options, either move on B.Smith for a DEF up to 580k (Hurn, etc), or double down this week for improved bench cover.
Answerth > Logue
Smith > Hurn or Scott > Hind
If I got Hind this week, would be able to do Smith > Lloyd next week.
Currently got 11 trades left
Houli, Ryan, Laird, Sicily, Williams, Smith (Answerth, Naish)
Fyfe, Neale, Oliver, Macrae, Kelly, Bont, Cripps, Crouch (Scott, Clarke, Baker)
Gawn, Grundy (Schlensog)
Kelly, Dunkley, Boak, Cameron, Heeney, Danger (Young, Gardner)

Yeah if you still have a Brodie Smith/Hore/Duursma/Logue type at D6, I would upgrade that position before Brad Crouch.
Rotham to Hooker
Moore to R.Gray
$10,500 cash and 1 trade left. Complete team but horrible bench cover. Going to be a rough ride for rest of the year and am only just inside top 20k. Been a disaster year.

Thinking Answerth to Logue and Gibbons to Hind leaves me with $312,500 in the bank and only 6 trades left needing 3 prems.

Personally I do not see the need to trade in Hind with Clarke, Naish (hopefully), Baker, Bewley & Setters already as cash cows. Personally I would be looking to get Gibbo up to Sloane or Mcrouch.

Sounds fair. I was hoping there was enough cash but obviously not.
Looks like im skipping on Hind and getting Hately instead
Hately named........
Surely he at least stays in until Whitfield returns ???

Yep not touching him. JS surely a question mark plus Hind seems to have better JS and is cheaper.

Depends on your definition of limited trades I suppose. I think you would want at least 7 to consider Hately due to JS. I think he is the go for quick cash gen but no point if you can't afford the trade to cash him in.
Jarrod Cameron DPP and Sloane for Duursma and Young
have Clarke, Bewley and now Cameron as my bench mids
Just two pay rises outta Hately is all I need. Not too much to ask, surely.

Thinking the same frenzy. If Naish gets named I might can Burg > Logue & go Answ > Hate instead. Especially if Burg gets named.
Duursma/Stocker to JKelly/Naish.
Giving Hind a miss but the above trades completes my team, as long as Naish is named.
Yeah Hately is useless to me now.
Would have been perfect 3 weeks ago.

I traded him in 3 weeks ago taking a massive punt that he'd come back in after the bye so I didn't have to use a trade on him this week...in retrospect that was super high risk! :o

have bcrouch and angus. keeping bcrouch as he just keeps improving and if his de improves will be 110+ player. brayshaw keeping until finals as trades down to 7. if you have cash and trades to spare go ahead if not save and keep crouch

Revised "let's be even stingier" trades I've come up with since I have Buddy and Hoff up forward (gross I know) and Burgess/Gardener on the pine.
Buddy > TMac (1 good score totally makes up for the 12 bad ones)
Burgess > Hayden (allows me to DPP Setters forward to cover Hoff. Setters will be traded to a premo next week).

Would not touch TMac
He scored all his goals towards the end of the game last week when Freo were cooked due to playing most of the game with 2 on the bench. On top of that, Logue was his direct opponent who is clearly happy to zone off his man to rack up touches and take a few intercepts.

you would think with whitifeld back soon Hately is gone so its a quick cash grab situation.
so if you have plenty of trades and plan to move him on then hately is the man if not naish

I'll go Clark to Hately leaving Answerth and Burgess on DEF bench before bringing in Logue
Mid bench Baker, Clarke, Rowbottom
Think I'm set on Hately now. Don't necessarily need him long term, just long enough to give me decent scores until M8 is upgraded.
7 trades left Holz

Clark to Hately and Answerth/Burgess to Logue? That'd be good, giving decent cover on both lines

If I was to be shopping for players at that level I would consider Lynch (Rich) ahead of Tmac. With Rich due to get back some players he may improve & probs scores around the same as Tmac & much cheaper.
is it worth going bailey scott to hind/hately? already have d.clarke and O.baker (plus hayes who i plan to trade to j.cameron to help me get my last mid premo next week).
the trade does help me get some cash and a potential good backup midfield rookie, however im not sure if its actually worth it as it will leave me with 6 trades and clarke + hore still on the field. Although i do need some more cash generation as O.Baker will be the most expensive rookie on my bench after my trades this week.
Duursma to Ryan

now with Cripps out, may take a risk on hately so i can do an emergency loophole with him

depends on the rest of your team. Given the lack of trades you have left id probably keep them. Although the andrews to laird trade would be a good trade

Prob back to Logue and Sloane or Logue and Hind now
Ended up doing Walsh to Cripps and Scott to Logue via Dursma with Cripps out.

I reckon you dodged a bullet.
hmm...problems.
i traded hore out this week with plans to downgrade to logue (and leaving me with ~650k in the bank).
Silly me forgot round lockout had started and instead traded him for rich as my d6.
im left with 400k in the bank and need to bring in a midfielder.
i need to field one of Hind or O.Baker with Cripps out, and also have stack/walsh still on the ground.
I would like to bring in parker, but with cripps out would hold on to walsh.
can upgrade stack to parker now or if i wait a week I can do baker to parker or j.kelly.
should i hold or bite the bullet now?
Projected is 2400 with cripps on the bench
Rotham or Burgess to Logue?
With Naish being dropped I am rethinking my trade plans to make sure i have defensive cover moving forward
Current defensive line: Lloyd, Ryan, Williams, Sicily, Hore, Duursma (Burgess, Naish). 7 trades left, $34K, complete team besides defense
Option 1
- Burgess to Logue this week
- Hayes to Hayden next week (opens Mid/Fwd DPP)
- Duursma/Hore to Hurn or Whitfield when they bottom out in 2-3 weeks
Option 2
- Hore to Logue this week
- Hayes to Hayden next week (opens Mid/Fwd DPP)
- Burgess to Hurn or Whitfield when they bottom out in 2-3 weeks
Both options leave me with Hore or Duursma and Logue at D6/D7.
Option 1 gives me immediate cover in the backline but no $ at all
Option 2 leaves me with no cover in the backline for 2-3 weeks, but $50K to play with incase i need to trade due to a LTI
What would you do? thanks

Hayes and Burgess are deadwood and Hore and Duursma have maxed out and are ripe for the picking to state the obvious.
Personally, I'd trade Hore to Logue this week to maximise your $$$ return.
Not a fan of Hayden to be honest. Not a big accumulator and could easily be dumped after a poor performance this week for Hall or Tyson. Ahern also waiting in the wings. Macmillan is a defender but his return may also reshuffle the side and force Hayden out.
If you can hold and are low on trades, I'd hold Duursma and wait for Whitfield to drop to about $500K!
Hore to Logue (this week)
Duursma to Whitfield (2-3 weeks after his return)
Unless you have enough trades and another rookie candidate rears his head to trade out Duursma for maximum cash generation?
Then you can trade Burgess to give yourself a decent backup in defense.
Thanks for the reply. That was my initial plan but with Naish dropped I’m concerned with having no defensive cover at all. Not concerned if Hayden plays much, he will be there only to open up DPP

Going to go Hore to Logue this week. Looks like next week will be on the one to jump on Hurn the way he is going and that will give me the cash to upgrade Burgess to him.
