The Watchlist - Season started, team Angry Pirates

[Capper]

So who goes out for NVB? Surely you arent trading Pendles out?

Hell no. My plan was if Newton got the green it was him just because at 200k plus it is too much of a risk to keep him around in terms of earning cash, if he avoids the green vest (like it looks he will) then it was Cripps who I planned a correctional trade for this week originally.

For Gaz I am contemplating the following options

Fyfe
JPK
Sloane
Lewis
KJack and like 200k


That will give me a midfield of

Pendles ???, Selwood, Hanners, Jack Steven, NVB, Ellis-Yolmen, Vandneberg, Heeney, Newton/Cripps, Miller

Hence if Pendles misses CEY or Heeney comes on

[Capper]

I didnt start with Pendles, i had Sidey. I went Sidey and Walters to NVB and Tex after R1

We have similar mids, only difference is I have Fyfe, VB and Sloane and you have GAJ, Pendles and Steven.

[My Chumps]

Gotta get Fyfe in surely!

[Mat0369]

Gotta get Fyfe in surely!

but Jack? :(

I am really undecided to be honest, I will pull the trigger tomorrow depending on what happens with my NVB trade and how much I need the cash

[Mat0369]

I ended up keeping Cripps and dumping Newton  :o

I am not fielding him though

[Mat0369]

I am trade curse. 3 guys I have traded in (Gaz, NVB and Jack) and they have scored at least 40 points under what they did the previous week. Let's see if my captains curse continues and Selwood spuds up

[Mat0369]

So to continue the carnage, Bartel injured. Straight swap to either Swan or Bont makes sense, I will probably go Swan and curse him. I can also afford Gray but I might give him a few extra weeks.

I will then next week grab 2 of Krak, Tarrant and WhiteX if they are on the bubble.

Yeah I'll be looking at Tarrant, Krak, WhiteX when they hit the bubble as well. Brown and Lamb potentially to be the ones traded out.
And yeah, unsure if I should go Bartel to Gray this week or not, as you already saw in my post in the R4 trades thread :P
Swan probably the best option for you

[Mat0369]

Yeah the original reason I didn't start Gray was so I could grab him on the cheap eventually. I know if I grab Swan he is going to suck it up but I might as well bite the bullet.  I'll post a pic later with all the info.

Let the barf fest begin




1884 this week 

85779 ranking for this week

7952 total points

58,195 overall

It is officially my worst season ever, this is probably my worst non bye score in a long time.

$258,400 in the bank and 26 trades

I will look at break evens and decide between NVB or Heeney to Krak, not sure on who to dump to to Tarrant. Leaning towards Clark.

The KJack trade was an absolute killer so far

[Mat0369]

Just thought of another possible trade idea

Dump NVB and Heeney and swing Harley into the mids for this round.

It leaves me with 532k for upgrades next week. I think I like it

Yep I like that also! 

[Mat0369]

So now with Clark and Heeney out I have to go with a new plan. I have 3 options

1. NVB and Heeney to Krak and Taz

2. NVB and Clark to Krak and Taz

3. Clark and Heeney to Krak and Taz

Clark and Heeney both have cash to make so that makes me think it has to be option 1 or 2

Heeney has the higher BE out of him and Clark so that swings it to dump Heeney

We don't know how serious or long it will take for Clark to recover so that is a swing to dump Clark

Tom Mitchell is in and McGlynn out meaning that Heeney while out with an ankle, has to compete with two very good footballers to get back into the side, swing to dump Heeney

If Heeney misses next week, it may actually be a positive as it gives me someone to loophole my C wit the Cats playing the Pies on Friday and my loophole option Tom Read, swing to dump Clark

I make 10k less dumping Clark.

To be honest, I am leaning towards getting rid of Clark, even if it is the good foot, he has a history of injuries and as a KPP could score like crap regardless.Give me your thoughts guys

[Asparagus]

Option 1.
Clark should be back next week if we believe what we hear from his coach, where as Heeney is a very diff proposition.
As stated, he will now be 'in the mix' with McGlynn, TMitch etc. AND you will be forced to hold him until the 7 has rolled out of his average.
