Barlow out, what trades to make?

North Melbournes Finest · April 02, 2014, 06:35:51 PM

So it looks like this year forward rookies are a horrible way to go.

Back - Swallow / Hanley / McVeigh / Mitchell / Webster / Langdon (Langford/Georgiou)

Midfield - Ablett / Watson / Beams / Barlow / Liberatore / Dunstan / Polec / Ellis (McDonald/Crouch)

Rucks - Leuen / Sandi (Nankervis / King)

Forwards - Wingard / Martin / Dangerfield / Caddy / Impey / Rohan (Taylor /JKH)

Should I go

1. Barlow > Matt Thomas / Dom Tyson
Gary Rohan > Dayne Zorko

or

2. Jimmy Webster > KK
Barlow > Joel Selwood

or
3. Move Lewis Taylor to mids, put Luke McDonald on the ground
Barlow > Zorko bank 150k.

Who do you think out of the two downgrades, or have any other suggestions?

Option 1 is exactly what I am considering but not sure whether to do Rohan or JKH , thinking Rohan like you though as he has no cash to be made at his current scoring rate. I think JKH will lose the vest for the next few games at least.

Out of those options i'd go option one.

However if would you consider Barlow to M.Murphy would you have enough cash to go Crouch to Tyson?

spuddy9595 · April 02, 2014, 07:05:13 PM

Do we think Matt Crouch should be traded or wait and see if he plays this week - Brad Crouch broken leg?

I am now thinking Barlow -> swallow , Crouch -> Tyson instead of

Rohan -> Zorko, Barlow -> Tyson

Option 1
Barlow - Tyson is the safe bet, he is a must at this stage. Not Convinced with Matt Thomas.
and Rohan - Zorko is a great trade. Would prefer Riewoldt if you had the cash however.

Then next week you can go Webster - KK on the bubble ;) you have cover down back for now

If this is your concern then Option 1 is the way to go.

Your mids would still be strong and you fix your forward rookie issue

trade Webster sub LMAC to defense then get Tyson

trade Barlow sub Taylor to mid then get Zorko
