-Stevie J, -Bartel +Barlow +Macrae/Priddis

[RookieDTer]

I have d.swallow in my mids that I can get out. Stevie j could easily have anothrr shower week tho next week.

Also got in jacobs for sandilands...see how that goes.

[pommyadam]

honestly didn't think Swallow would've scored that well, I had him pegged for around a mid-80s

SJ goes up against Carlton, so that won't be pretty either (if he escapes a ban for his "kick")

Firstly, happy with the 2,526 I got this week.

Secondly -

I'm sorry but is this the make the worst possible trade you can thread?

this is terrible.

I see why your username is 'Rookie'DTer  :P  ;D  ;)

If it makes sense to you - do it. We all started off where you are...

Players I considered trading out:
Stevie J   58
D.Swallow   104
Sandilands   86
Bartel 97
Shenton   DNP

Players I considered trading in:
JPK   110
Barlow   137
Sloane   160
Jacobs   129
Crisp    91
Priddis   146
Macrae   74

Really don't think any of them were the worst possible trades.

And, yes, whilst D.Swallow did crack a tonne and I did consider trading him out (and if he was worth $6k more I would have)....

I'd also be looking at Swallow, given that McKenna's said himself that Swallow's not 100% (but can't rest him because of his intensity)

I don't think trading D>Swallow would have been a terrible trade.


In the end, I made $20k or so... and 122 points. Worst trades possible? Definitely not.

Well, at least what I said was right. :P

Your trades were pathetic. You should have been able to find something like bench downgrade > bench upgrade

like me making Steve Johnson M9...

Your trades were terrible. You should have looked laterally!

[powersuperkents]

Yeah rookie, this is all based on one week. No one here can predict the occurrences, only forecast. Theoretically it was a risky trade.

I can say my Kersten-> O'Rourke trade & Priddis-> Miles was a success.. for now (excluding the M-> P upgrade). At the end of the day it's if needs be but I have to agree with Nails, I think if you posted your entire team you may have overlooked alternatives. Stevie J is playing Carlton this week so it'll most likely be a repeat of the Freo game. However, if you don't trade him back in before prelims & the GF you could really put your team in jeopardy (esp. if the opposition possess him). I'd suggest making a prospective trading plan to regain his services. Furthermore:

You can't claim trades you didn't make. The topic of discussion should only include the 4 players involved.

Also how don't you have Barlow & Jacobs already?? I have Priddis & Crisp to add to that (but they are unique players so I understand that)
