Rd.16 Trades

[Rusty00]

Anyone have any trades planned this week?

At this stage I don't need to trade subject to any surprises when teams are named but boy it is really tempting to trade Barlow to Rocky or Ablett though as I have the money to do it.

I should be saving money and trades (only have 6 left) to bring in another defender (have Lever at D6 currently) and for any injuries in the run home but Rocky and Ablett are ripe for the picking this week

[ADEZ]

Only have 3 trades left thanks to my 10 injury trades so will hold this week, so tempting to go Adams to Rocky via Swan and Wallis to Sidey - Armitage, Pendlebury, Beams, Lewis, Rockliff, Kennedy, Sidebottom, Barlow - pretty dominant but common sense will prevail

Have 9 trades left, will be looking to bring in Gaj in the next week or two, kept rocky. Might do a downgrade but not sire where. I think atm my main issue is benell, has sat on my bench for far too long this year, got no idea when/if he will be back. Played Steele last week which ended well but not something I want to rely on. My fwds are otherwise Swan Martin Gray Buddy Bont. May get Bartel once he has bottomed out.

I'm awaiting news on Bennell.

I'm awaiting news on Bennell.

Dont want his 99 average just sitting on pinee eithe :(. and thats injury interrupted! Can easily go 120 from here. Just get him back out there! Hes not the only one racking em up in the off season!

May get Bartel once he has bottomed out.

He's another one I'd love to get, but doubt I will be able to.

Just played around a bit with trades and if I go Boston to Daniel, I can then afford N Brown up to Hodge. Would leave with me with the following bench players:

Lever, McKenzie
Steele, Lambert, Kavanagh
Read
McKernan, Daniel

Would only leave with me with 4 trades and bugger all cash though meaning I'd be unlikely to get Rocky, Ablett or Bartel.

Decisions, decisions.

I have Jesse Hogan as cover if he doesn't play who's playing Brisbane this week so he may be good enough cover for another week or Jack Steele against Gold Coast.

Have 6 trades and will likely hold. I've scored pretty well the past couple weeks with team I've got.

[pommyadam]

I'm actually content with Hogan as F7 cover

as for trades - pondering whether to get Maynard for cash (for either Boston or Kav), and then deliberating on whether to get Rocky/Gaj (if at all)

[whorya]

ok lads ill give you some fun to play with...

i have 6 trades and 295k in the bank!

im thinking of finally saying goodbye to cripps and move him to ablett - steele as my m9

and the remaining cash ill use next week hogan to goddard


id have 4 trades left and no cash.

shaw, hodge, newnes, hibberd, laird, oxley, hamling, kolo
ablett, rocky, pendles, pridd, heppel, beams, lewis, selwood, steele, mckenzie, kavanagh
goldy, grundy
swan, godds, gray, dusty, bonts, gunston, motlop, dale

gives me an extra gun in fwd/mids for a dpp if needed

im thinking going hamling to kelly when helly he bottoms out but i prob need to downgrade somehow.

thoughts - suggestions?

[Rusty00]

Anyone looking at James Kelly? Has a BE of 150 so would probably be better to wait a week but could trade Barlow to Rocky this week and then N Brown to Kelly next week. Which combo is better for the rest of the year:

Kelly, Rocky, Boston or Hodge, Barlow, Daniel

Or should I fix my itchy trade finger and hold my 6 trades for another week?

[whorya]

im going kelly in 2 weeks. maybe 1 depending on his score this week. just too good to ignore if he ends up 350k.

i would get in rocky at 510k too cheap not too as well.

im going to get in goddard when he drops in price more.

[timmyparso]

Holding trades.  Steele on field for Bennell

[Vindicate]

6 trades left but going to blow two this week. I will do McLean --> Daniel and Cripps --> Ablett. I will only have 4 trades left but I feel my bench cover is reasonable and this will complete my team.

[Mat0369]

So after last week where my team collapsed it resulted in my rank dropping massively and even though I am 2nd in points for I am 8th in my league. Decided to go for broke, Boston>Glenn and Cripps to Gaz. It leaves me with 2 trades for the year and a complete team although I am carrying a few question marks in Taylor, Ibbo, Motlop and Ebert (the 2nd half collapse is real!).

[pommyadam]

would've gone for Maynard over Glenn personally

I went with Boston->Wines (picked over Rocky, & Sidey btw) and Colquhoun->Maynard
