Ringos 2017 Diary

[Deadly6]

Hi Ringo, I have a very similar team to you and ranked 1438 with no trades so far. Where you've got me is I don't have WHE and am thinking of trading Roughy to him. Roughy may end up averaging 5-10 more than WHE but only make 60k whereas WHE should make 150+. The price difference between the two can also be used elsewhere either now or at a later date.

What would your gut tell you? Save a trade and pass on WHE or go for the cash? I've no other option to bring WHE in, only Roughie.

PS am also a Lions supporter.

[Ringo]

AS you know I have both and am happy. As I tell most go with gut and depends you are going for overall or league win.  I am still hopeful Roughie starts to gain fitness and play 4 quarters. He is improving each game. If going for overall need to get team set as quickly as possible and that is where cash generation comes in. My plan if Roughie does stagnate then WHE down and Roughie up.

Also whilst Brisbane have improved still expect us to finish 14 - 18 mainly due to the fact that I am finding it hard to see which sides will fall further apart from Suns. Just want to win more games this year.

This weeks trade Newmann a definite in just deciding on a straight swap from Hibberd or Pickett using Hibberds DPP.

[Capper]

I would go Pickett to Newman.

Are you holding Eddy??

[Ringo]

Waiting on teams Capper, Eddy still has a negative B/E of -35 so if named can stay on bench and already made 37k.

[sammy123]

newman is a great cow. has looked well in the team. and can move up and snag a goal. his use of the ball is very good

team is looking solid ringo

[HoleMeal]

Looks good Ringo.
My back 6 is very similar however I will be doing Stewart to Newman as I think Hibberd has a great chance of getting back into the Nth team and stay for a period of time, Esp while Nth are losing.

[Ringo]

Still deciding which player will trade for Newman - Pickett, Hibberd and Stewart all in the frame.

I'd stick with pickett and stewart. They're in the best 22's and probably have a spot for next few weeks, chance to get up to 200k. Also although it does sound counter productive you could trade hibberd back in later for hampton/otten/barrett and actually pocket some cash.

Scenario 1: Trade Pickett or Stewart
+20-30k in bank (NOW)
No Downgrade to Hibberd when he's on bubble
Only one 90k downgrade from either pickett/stewart later
(Cash In Bank : 120k)

Scenario 2: Trade Hibberd
+0k in bank (NOW)
Downgrade to hibberd down the track +100k<
Two 90k downgrades from pickett + stewart
(Cash In Bank : 280k)

Saying that wait on teams

[Ringo]

It is just that Pickett and Stewart are getting close to their ceilings - Both now have positive B/E and if they score similar to last week will be close to maxing out next week anyway. Can not see both making the 90k at the moment with Pickett only going up $11k and Stewart $18k.

I'm just banking on them scoring consecutive 60s

Stewarts scores 57,60,and 22
Pickett 28,35,36

Not a lot to inspire getting 60's especially Pickett.

I think you're in a good enough position to take the punt on it. Worst comes to worst you trade them out in a few weeks at 150-170k. Still more than hibberd has done...

[Mongoose528]

Team looks good Ringo, I would trade out Hibberd because Pickett and Stewart are still making some cash.

[Ringo]

Like most had a real down  week  :(

Thinking these trades:
Eddy/SPP/Barrett to Balic
Roughead to Macrae

Waiting for teams to be announced but will know early which of the 3 are not named.  Whoever has the highest B/E may be traded

Next week will bring in Fisher for cash. And possibly upgrade Marchbank to Adams.
