Round 3 Trades

[blue]

Am I the only one that thinks Gaz can turn it around against his old club at Kardinia Park

>:(

NO     NO     NO

Verses his old team, the pride, honour and his fearlessness with them.  If he plays, he has to be having a red hot go, and the little master having a red hot go is something I would never be game to bet against. If he plays he stays, but if he's not playing he's traded. Firmly believe he won't play  v  Cats if he can't give all. The best player I have ever seen.

I would not be trading gaz if I had him

Yes you would.

The $$$$ tied up and about to disappear would make your current team weaker and your future $$$$ lower.

So why dont you have him?  What is the problem with trading him now other than two trades. Net one trade as we need to bring in a keeper.  Havent decided yet?    But running numbers if gaz avgs 90-100 we drop 150-200K and lose 150-200 points over next 6 weeks over another premo.   Plus cannot use him for captain.

For all those discussing trading Gaz, how many of you also have Cockatoo and/or Goodes? I have all 3, as well as Cripps and Miller and I'm thinking Goodes and Cockatoo are bigger priorities than Gaz. Sure, Gaz could lose 200k+ if he sits around 100, but the chance of him getting his shoulder right again and going 110+ for the season seems much greater than the chance of Cocky or Goodes turning around to be worthwhile cash cows. and if Gaz does return to blazing form and people want him back in, thats 2 trades gone at least to flick him out then get him back...

Having said that, he'll lose 50k this week alone even if he gets 120 or so, which is more than Goodes and Cocky combined...

So on one hand, I think in the long term there's a fairly good chance that Goodes and Cocky will not be in my team and Gaz will by the end of season, and holding Gaz now might save me a trade or two later. However, I risk losing more money and points in at least the short term if I go with this, and Gaz may not come right at all...

What do?  :-\

I'm in same predicament mate with those players. My thinking?

- Goodes: shouldn't lose too much if he gets a full game, so I'll hold this week at least
- Cockatoo: Scott has said its the older players that may struggle to hold their spots given their shower start, so young players like the Cock should get more opportunities
- Miller: agree he is a concern and I will be trading him out

The big question: GAJ. I am concerned about him and will trade. I see him dropping to $600k, maybe less depending on how much he struggles, and if he turns his form around later I'll get him back in. As I see it, we are all looking at turning rooks into premos over the course of the season and I don't see why GAJ will be different than any other player.

He is sadly being traded this week. I hope he turns his form around later this year for the good of the game, as a fit Ablett tearing around the park getting 40 touches is what we all want to see.

I have Gaz and am weighing up all options.

1. Trade for Sloane
2. Trade for Bont and swing Swan into mids.
3. Leave him and cop the price drops

It's make or break as I think this decision will be pivotal to your season.

I was at the game on the weekend. I barely saw Ablett in and under, in fact he spent so much time hanging right back off packs the ball often went in different directions to where he was positioned.

Let's say he does play forward this week, the only
Upside is I doubt all his mates at Geelong are going to rough up his shoulder, therefore he could get off the chain a bit more.

[Keeper27]

Keeping Gazza.
Bringing in Bonts/Shiel. 6 Premo MID.  ;D

Same here mate. I have cockatoo and Goodes. Besides I dont want to waste 3 trades to trade the great man out and then get him back in by season end.

Same problem for me too Kiwi, but the problem I have with Goodes is that I already have Oxley and there are no downgrade targets for me, so I need to upgrade him soon, which means I need get cash elsewhere to do so, and Ablett looks like my only source...  :'(

[tkringle]

There are three trades I'm wanting to make over the next two weeks

OUT - Ablett, Goodes, Miller
IN - Ultra Premium, Oxley, NBV

Trying to work out which combination for this week will give me the greater bang for buck in terms of price increase/minimizing price loss (going for league, so $$ for now is the priority here).

Thinking Ablett to NBV and Goodes to Oxley this week, with Miller being traded up to a ultra premium next week. Rationale being that I will get the price increases of Oxley & NBV and avoid the price decrease of Ablett.. I can then correct losing an Ultra premium the following week (e.g. Sloane, who should only go up 15-20K).

Thoughts on the above approach?

I think it's a good approach, NVB is in pretty good form at the moment so there shouldn't be a massive difference in his score compared to a premo, you'll be 50k better off doing it this way.

Yeh I don't mind it mate. You may also be able to jump on a Jelwood or someone who will drop their showerty RD1 score out of their rolling average after a small price drop
