Trades round 20

[jvalles69]

For once I'm lost for what trades to do.  1577 overall and 111K in the bank and my team looks like:

Def: Hodge, Boyd, Shaw, McVeigh, Hibberd, Newnes (Clurey, Edwards)
Mid: Rockliff, Montagna, Priddis, Macrae, Ellis, Parker, Jelwood, Lambert (Amon, Glenn)
Ruck: Goldstein, Jacobs (Phillips, Naismith)
For: Swan, Dusty, Titchell, Gray, Bartel, Hunter (Knight, Byrne)

It's looking like a double downgrade at this point, but don't want to lose all the ground I've made up.  Hunter only got me 90 (had 30 disposals) odd points but rose close to 50K so I think I'll keep him for the time being and Lambert is doing a decent job too, might have to cash up till both these guys are at their fattest, or I could use some cash to upgrade guys like Hibberd, Newnes or even Parker, but feel thats wasted trades for guys who can still put up good numbers.  Any thoughts?

Guys I'd be considering upgrade wise would be Mitch Robinson (I've slept on this guy for 3 weeks now and he's smashing it), Lewis...

coming into finals, i think gray and parker are out of sorts and on current form, could cost a win.  Id be leaning toward getting a couple in for those two that are on fire.  or try and get another premo into the mid so you can put lambert on the pine.  My 2 cents worth.

i ended up trading out hamling and kruezer for mcguane and big stefan martin.

I'm ditching Yeo and awaiting news on NicNat. Boyd and Jacobs are cheap replacements but see how selections go

Prelim trades ATM Daniels to Reid, & Howe to Goddard. Note that could change re NicNat


Well that changed pretty quickly

Thanks for the thoughts, I think I'll try to get a final premo mid in somehow, not really bothered about finals, just trying to get a high overall rank, even though I'm #1 in all 3 of my leagues.

Def: Boyd ,McVeigh,Shaw,Higgins,hibberd,Apearce.
Brown/hamling

Mid: Pendles,Montagna,Kennedy,Stevens,Priddis,
Rockliff,Jelwood, Lambert...   Kavanagh/Glenn

Ruck: Goldy, Kruezer.  Griffin/Naismith

FWD: Swan,Bartel,Mitchell,Gray,Martin,Dahlhaus..  Knight/mcbean

Scored 2425 last week.. Just scraped in top 4 of one league and 1st in 2 others

Have 18k to spend.... Not sure to double downgrade for cash for following weeks trades?
Or downgrade e.g. brown to marsh ..gives me bout 140k to upgrade someone on field.. Any suggestions much appreciated...



Jvelles69: I'd go parker to pendles

[jvalles69]

Cheers Mavro88, that could be an option, going to have a look if I can even get Parker down to someone showing a bit of form and then Glenn up to another premo, not sure if I'll be able to pull that off. As for your team, if you're pumping out 2400+ scores you're prob safe with the double downgrade this week, then follow it up with an upgrade in the rucks.

Spending my life savings and going Browne - Boyd and Glenn - Atkins as my other trade.

55k left so next week planning to go Downie - 120k and Steele - Sloane.

Kavanagh - Atkins and Brown/Hamling - Marsh would be be suggested trades.

[jvalles69]

Hmmm...This could be a ballsy play... Trade Goldstein down (sounds hilarious) to Stef Martin who has an easier run and then use the 90K to upgrade elswhere.

Goldstein -> Martin

and

Glen -> Atkins
or
Lambert -> Stephen Hill/Cotchin

Not going for league so the double downgrade looks like a good option for me, and I'm thinking Martin can outscore Goldy here on in, that extra cash is very valuable.

Stevie J an option this week?  :-X

Daniel to Higgins or Ziebel, c'mon make my mind up for me. Thats about all i can afford this week.
I like Higgins because then next week i can downgrade Brown to Byrne and use the dpp for fwd defence with Higgins and bank 120k for another upgrade sideways move. Thoughts ?

Higgins is in some sort of form, plus he's got the added flexibility.

Yeh have him in there at the minute, having Boyd and Hodge down back is a rest worry so the cover could be handy.
Only concerned about keeping Champs II #1 overall league.

I dunno whether to start him over Boomer vs Saints in Elite Draft.

Both are in reasonable form, SJ coming off the week off. Hawks give up big mid numbers but if SJ is playing fwd he could be starved of service. The Saints gave up mass points to the Dockers last week but they should bounce back and might focus more on locking down through the middle this week...

Tough call! In terms of AF, I think there are better options.
