Ask Jay: Round 4

[Jay]

Is it more important to get rid of Goodes or get in Vandenberg?
Scenario A is Goodes out for Docherty
Scenario B is Cockatoo out for Vandenberg

Get in Vandenberg, easily.

[Jay]

Hey mate,

I've asked this in a number of threads but I'll ask it again, which trades this week?!

Trade 1: I'm convinced I need to get NVB, so will prob trade Cockatoo to NVB unless Cripps isn't named.

Trade 2: either
- GAJ to Bont and $470ish
- GAJ to Sloane and $280'ish

Sloane a keeper, but Bont could be great value for a F5-6?

Sloane for me man. Consistent, and his ability to pump out a 130+ gives you another captaincy option. Bont is still a big risk in my opinion, the second year blues are a thing...

As for your first trade, seeing as Cripps is named, go Cockatoo --> VB :)

[Big Mac]

I have Ablett, Goodes, Cripps and Miller - and no NVB or Oxley

Is it worth postponing the GAJ trade to get in NVB and Oxley? (i.e. I would have 650k in the bank this round)

[Samsturmfels]

JAY which trades do u like better?
1) Ablett to Danger and Cripps to Bontempelli
2) Ablett to Sloane and Miller or Cripps to NVB

[Brookesy]

Was going to go Lambert (is in my mids) to Sinclair this week (as I have all the other decent rookie mids aside from NVB who I can't afford) but now that there are so many other rookies named this week I am wondering if it is worth holding Lambert to see if anyone really fires. I have defs and feds I can swing into mids, so I have flexibility. What do you think, trade or hold?

[crowls]

Got problems and hope you can help.
Traded GAJ > Fyfe,   Lambert> NVB

Is this best option at moment.    Leaves me with Miller, Cripps and Heeny/Wells on my bench.
Not happy about KK and Goodes being bench in Backs.   Rucks and Forwards are fine.  Lamb will get more game time.
Basically forced into Lambert trade was going to do Wells or Miller.  Feel I made a mistake with wells and another rookie Mid with upgrade KK to Smith or Hibberd was better option.   

Tough one man, GAJ --> Fyfe is a lock, stick with that for sure. The next trade is a bit tougher, ideally you'd like to free up some of that cash you have sitting on your defense bench - but there really isn't a good enough downgrade target to do that, apart from Brown.

I'd stick with what you've got and hope Goodes/KK can get back into some form.

Thanks Jay.   Going round in circles looking for options and just not there at the moment.   Patience is a virtue in this game

[Wanderer]

Jay, I'm thinking of getting in Rich who should make decent coin and pump out reliable scores until Gaz comes back.

Option 1: Gaz-Sloan  /  Sheed-Rich
Option 2: Gaz-Shiel  / Miller-Rich

I would prefer offloading Miller instead of Sheed given Sheed has better JS and will play more on the ball, but would have to give up Sloan for Shiel to afford it. If Shiel can pull within 10 points per round vs Sloan, you would think Sheed would generate more than this vs Miller, so it's a win at least until the cash cows moo......not sure what to do.

[monga77]

Jay, doing two rookie correctional trade this week.

Miller > NVB
Lamb > ?? I think my only options are Lonie or McGrath
Current fwd line is, Gray, Martin, Goddard, Clark, Salem, Hogan,(Saad, Lamb)
Who is best out of Lonie or McGrath? Or anyone else?

[benharris222]

Would love to know your opinion Jay.

Currently gone:
Ablett to Kennedy.

Can't decide between:
Goodes to Oxley
Or
Beams to Rich

I know we shouldn't trade out premiums but beams looked horrible and uninterested in my opinion last week.  It would also gain me more money and rich will be an easy upgrade in a few weeks. 
Originally I saw Beams as a top 10 mid,  but now I am unsure. Would love to hear your opinion, keeping in mind I am going for overall.  Can post the rest of my team if necessary =)

Thanks in advance.

Hey mate,

Just need some help with my trades if you wouldnt mind

Definately going Cocky > NVB this week but the other trade im not too sure on

GAJ > Sloane
Will give me 111,900 for the Brown > Oxley trade next week
Projected Brown > Oxley will give me -22,353 leaving me with 89,547 for future trades

or

Brown > Oxley
Will give me 17,200 and a GAJ > Sloane trade next week
Projected GAJ > Sloane will give me 95,158 and overall 112,358 for future trades

Projections done on current average*

Which do you think is the other trade i should make this week? Go for points with gaj to sloane or for money with brown to oxley

Thanks in advance

Is it worth postponing the GAJ trade to get in NVB and Oxley? (i.e. I would have 650k in the bank this round)

If you're just going for league win then its definitely worth postponing, to ensure maximum cash generation. But if you need points, can't have 730k sitting on the bench for any period of time.

I myself am skipping on NVB and grabbing Oxley + a premium for Ablett.

[Jay]

JAY which trades do u like better?
1) Ablett to Danger and Cripps to Bontempelli
2) Ablett to Sloane and Miller or Cripps to NVB

I'd prefer Sloane and NVB mate.

I'd hold mate, wait and see how impresses this round. Won't hurt you :)

I think Sheed has to go mate, just doesn't seem like he'll generate much cash. I'm still questionable on Dylan Shiel just because of his draw so far - has played 2 rubbish teams.

Sloane and Rich for me.

[LordSneeze]

What do you think.
Im going for league wins this year.

I have bought OXley in for Goodes
Have Ablett to trade. Missing Rich and NVB. Would you think it is worth downgrading to either of these and using the cash to upgrade in the coming weeks as players hit the bubble.
