Sandilands to Moran or Lobbe and Krakouer to Talia Buckley to Wilkinson?

Madmax75 · July 06, 2011, 06:38:14 PM

My trade plans are what the title says but I need to decide thus week
whether to bring in Lobbe. My team is:
B Goddard Gibbs Deledio Newman Broughton Lower Puopolo (Hibberd Lisle Bachelor)
C Ablett Pendles Swan Boyd Bartel (Prestia Bewick Buckley)
R Cox Z Smith (Sandi J Tippet?
F Franklin Pav N Roo Goodes Rok Petrie Krakouer ( I Smith Mzungu C Richo)

The questions are is Z Smith playing this week as I've seen nothing about his injury. Do I just put Moran in for Sandi as I have enough in the ruck. I'm going for league so I can wait with league bye this week and a weak opponent next rd and wait and see on Sandi. I have 12 trades and 150k and am 4th in my league but need to win 1 of the last two to make top 4.
Any thoughts

Sandi > Lobbe frees up heaps of cash, but you have to pull the trigger on that trade this week. That means in the coming weeks you can upgrade Krak, Lower, Puopolo. If u want to trade in Talia dont forget hes fwd/def so maybe get rid of bachelor for him when hes on the bubble.

No mention of Smith in this Gold Coast release have just cut out 1 paragraph but throws up some other interesting comments for SC
"Rischitelli, Fraser, Ilies, Stanley - there's a few that have question marks and will have to get through training and make sure they pull up well tomorrow to make sure they're good to go because we know Sydney is going to be a bruising affair," McKenna said.

So I would sat wait till teams announced before trading. You already have the Tippett Petrie Link so why trade to Lobbe and what purpose will it serve your team structure.

If Smith is not named I would be trading Sandi to McEvoy and then looking to downgrade Smith to free up cash in future weeks. Even if named I would still consider Sandi to Mcevoy regardless .

are you seriously considering moran

he has no job security and is only getting played because he tears up in sanfl but struggles at afl
he is injury prone
and he plays for the crows as a tall foward

he is taking taylor walkers role while he is out with a knee but walker has progressed to stage 7 in rehab and he could play sanfl as early as this week
he has recovered well from his pcl and should be back at afl in 2 to 3

when he comes back moran will slot back into sanfl

lobbe plays for power where westhoff is injured with turf toe and brogan is struggling to pull his body on field for one last game
lobbe should ruck out the rest of the year at port even if broges comes back he will play foward or chb

and krak to talia buckley or wilkinson i would consider talia but wait til next week he is a first round draft pick in a bottom 8 side where craig is playing youngsters so he should have decent job security
callinan could be an option because with the bye he might only miss one week

You make some very good points but is Lobbe worth the extra 80k when I don't really need him to play and will cost me another trade if I want to downgrade him later?

problem with waiting a week on Krak is he is about to drop a heap in price so i want to get rid of him this week as well...

Thiking of either Talia or Callinan, do people expect Callinan to be back in the next week or so? does Talia have good JS?

You really do not need Lobbe and as you have 12 trades can I put this out there for you and as you are not going for League a donut does not really matter as we are in a non league round. With the byes this year some strategies have changed and one that i have used seeing that LTI's mucked up overall is using the bye rounds to strenthen team as score does not matter.
Smith to Griffin (virtual straight swap $9k) who is averaging 124 for last three games in Sandis absence and has a B/e of 7 next round so price will go up. If you wait till next week for this Smith will go down this week as his B/e is 133 so more cash needed to gain. You then have the option of Cashing in either Sandi or Griffin during finals for cash and more upgrades.

IMO your def also needs strengtening consider downgrading Hibberd. Pup/Lower to Wilkinson who is on the bubble this week or Talia next week and upgarding the other to either Fisher/Shaw/Suckling.
If waiting till next week for Talia I would seriusly consider upgrading Krak to Gia from Bulldogs who could be a POD for you in finals. Appears to be hitting his straps and flying under the radar and only owned by 2.2% SC. Last 5 game average 118 so worth the look.
