Round 4 Trades

[Gigantor]

Three options for me
1) Crouch to Parish + Barlow to Hall
2) Crouch to Ruggles upgrade Barlow to Any Prem Mid
3) Crouch to Ruggles bank 200K

My biggest Problems at the moment are Crouch and Barlow, to a lesser extent my poor scoring rookies in Mills who i'll look to downgrade next week.

Thoughts would be appreciated :)

Hold for me, too late for Parish and going early on Ruggles is too risky

Maybe just Barlow to Hall if you are really set on trading, but even then with Mundy still out Barlow has a better chance of cracking the ton

Don't trade McCarthy, just don't

Between McCarthy & Hewitt I think one holds McCarthy, but in my situation I need the cash to get rid of Crouch and Selwood could easily balance out the ledger in the long run. Realistically McCarthy has 100k left in him, Selwood potentially could put on another 70k. Then there's the points lost by fielding Menadue, something which I'm not willing to risk at this stage.

Can I get some opinions please?

Lonergan to Ruggles and Crouch to Parker

OR

Lonergan to Hartley and Crouch to Jelwood, meaning I can then get Ruggles next week (M.Brown or Milera most likely)

Or do I just pass on Hartley and grab Ruggles now which means I'll have to hold Brown and Milera longer

First option. Id prefer to wait a week on Ruggles,  but hartley isnt a must have with all the defense rookies around. And Parker better option than Selwood, just. Dont need to get both Hartley and Ruggles assuming you already have Tippa, Brown and Adams still making good $$$

Parker vs Selwood is a very line-ball choice, given that Parker's highest SC average has been 108 & Selwood has only dipped below 110 once in 7 years tips the scales in my opinion. As for Ruggles vs Hartley, I think you take Ruggles, firstly he appears to have the better scoring potential, and secondly if he's dropped he can be loopholed against Tippa, Dea & Brown. Having a non playing Essendon player will do you no favours and I'm still not convinced about Hartley's JS.

Tossing up a fwd upgrade for that retard Barlow.

Thinking either:
- Buddy: low BE, has racked up some great stats and solid scoring, and surely only gets better. But may get managed by Swans?
- Zerret: killing it in a rubbish team. Should score well, but will he drop off in a long draining season for the Dons?
- Zorko: killing it. Loves the ball, loves tackling, and loves to run. With rocky and beams out should score well

Any advice welcomed!!

[RaisyDaisy]

Cheers guys, and good point about the loophole too Bully

Think I'll go with my first instinct and bring in Ruggles a week early

Did this earlier with Hewett then reversed it.    Need a captain loophole.    Got Hewett, McCarrthy not scoring and Barlow on extended bench.      Be bloody funny if Barlow doesnt start.   :-[ :-[    Hard to see it but Ross is the boss.

Zorko I reckon, wish I could get him in

1st off there will be a late change and McCarthy will play. Promise. Now , I'm thinking of going mills to weitering via some subbing skills. This worth while?

If you think weitering can become a keeper yes... Otherwise no you've missed the boat :)

Yeah, good point. Cheers

Thought long and hard about Zorko but he has a very tough stretch coming up.

Given that Zorko was the only one you didn't have question marks about, I'd go with him.
