Luxury Trades

[TexR74]

Already used one for this round, call me crazy but I bit the bullet on Griffen and traded him out for Swanny

[RaisyDaisy]

Starting to wish I could do a few luxury trades in my backline

Simpson, Shaw and Lumumba have all been spuds this week for me!

Swanny 91

I think that's what they're talking about. Chasing points.

Griffens a downhill skier and wont finish top 10 mids.

Swan will finish top 8-10 forwards.

Wouldn't sweat too much if you traded out Griffen this week.

The flog will most likely score 70 next week.  8)

Plenty of people pull the trigger prematurely this time of year RD, but how do you know that your 'luxury' trade now wont become your "Gee, I wish I had just one more " trade later?

orrr the opposite  "Thank flower i didn't hang onto him all year"

True Rico, but that's more a corrective trade isn't it?  Basically admitting you got that selection wrong in your starting team (I've already done one such trade, Scott D Thompson, what was I thinking!!), however to my mind a luxury trade is someone who is perhaps underperforming by 5-10 points on your preseason predictions (and mind you the sample size of 3/4 rounds is pretty small to make that call) and you trade them for someone similar but who is currently performing better.  My question with that then is why didn't you start with them in the first place?

yeh thats fair. Every situation would be different, it will depend on the players involved

I hope who you traded Scott Thompson for has scored well this week.. Scott 62 at half time today..

Ive kept deledio but dumped Malcevski for Rance,He looked terrible 1st few rounds and then dished up another 50 odd.Glad hes gone,

Can my whole team be a luxury trade?

[Torpedo10]

So I went Griffen to Sloane.

I started with Tex, obviouslyenjoyed rd 1 but he's not looking like ding anything since. I'm thinking goodbye if he doesn't pull something out today.

You wont know if your trafe was a win or loss until a month or so down the track.

Wells to JMartin is my tempter this week. But if Wells comes back next week and averages 90 until the byes, it's a wasted trade. I know I cant trade in lost points now. But even if he is back next week, what if he throws in another sub par score and Martin tons up again? And it forces me to play Clark this week, what it he throws in a stinker?

Geez mate i can't believe you've carried Wells this far....I got off that sinking boat before the rats in R2!

Thought I'd give him another week going into round 2, had other problems going into round 3, kept him this week to get Vandenberg's score and luckily I didn't make the JMartin trade!
