Trade conundrum

Dave085 · July 31, 2015, 12:54:43 PM

Gday guys, got a few trades in mind this week but I am really confused about which one to go... Ablett in the mids and McKernan in fwd to trade out. This means I have a total of $976,000 to play with.

I do aim to have a premium ruckman in a few weeks. My current rucks are Grundy/McKernan with Downie/Griffin as Emerg.

Ablett --> Sloane, McKernan --> Benell. Leaves me with $1k.

Ablett --> Sidebottom, McKernan --> Tom Campbell (Will upgrade later. Pure fill in. Looking for value for money and hoping he will go up in price). Leaves me with $156,000. This will allow me to upgrade one of my rucks to a premo.

Ablett --> Macrae, McKernan --> Campbell. Leaves me with $92k.

Things that would help would be breakevens (Where can I find them these days?)

Cheers.

Ryan Griffen isn't a ruck?

Can't use the trades to bring in a Mcevoy/Kreuzer?

I can but it means that I would have to use Lambert as cover in the fwd line due to McKernan being out.

Mckernan is in my fwd line and I have no DPP links.

You reckon McEvoy is relevant at this stage of the year? Hes had 2 good weeks and should go up in price... Just don't want to waste a trade if he doesn't keep it up.

So far im leaning towards Ablett --> Sloane, McKernan --> Benell. If I don't have any injuries I can do a double downgrade next week and use that cash in the 1st round of finals. Id like to win this week to secure a spot in the 8 in my league.

I don't hate the playing Lambert idea, he's taken Edward's role (obviously don't play him when he returns)

So what you reckon is better as a group - Long term...

Sloane/Bennell/Grundy
or
Macrae/Premo fwd/McEvoy

Premo fwd - Unsure who that could be yet. Would happen next week I would say. Fwd line is currently
D. Martin, Swan, T. MItchell, Gray, Bontempelli, McKernan - Emerg. Lambert/C. Byrne

Mids - Priddis, Armitage, Lewis, Rockliffe, Ablett , Perker, Ebert, Barlow - Emerg - Kavanagh, R. knight.

I reckon he is yeah, that is, if you are struggling in other areas.

Macrae/Premo fwd/McEvoy is what I'd be looking at if it were me.
