Ringos 2017 Diary

[SilverLion]

Eddy/Barrett to Balic works well, if that gives you enough cash for Rough to Macrae would highly recommend (provided at least one of them doesn't play, I'd be hesitant if they both do). Macrae solid as, pretty much good for 95+ a week. Would probably give SPP one more week, should get his BE, and in the off chance he pulls an 80+ you'll be thankful for it. Next week maybe SPP to Fisher, Marchbank to Adams would be good too.

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.

good trades ringo. im glad i started with macrae. and i look to bring in adams next week via markbank too

[HoleMeal]

Yeah it was a tough week.

I got Mcrae in last week at the last minute for O'Meara. Good move to get him in this week if you can.

[Mongoose528]

Good trades Ringo, Macrae is a solid pick.

[Ringo]

With Balic out plans into confusion:

So looking at three options
1) No Trades - hoping no late outs from my defenders as Newmann and Hibberd on bench
2) Trade Hibbert to Williamson for coverage.
3) Trade Barrett to Williamson and Roughy to Macrae.

Thinking of option1 holding this week. as not really fussed by Williamson.

[Ringo]

Real downer of a week

Chopping and Changing the C between Selwood and Pendles  >:(

Did Not Play
Newmann, Barrett, Strnadica, Eddy

Pendles is showing signs of injury so may have to do injury trade eventually.

hope to claw back some positions next week

Obviously wait for team announcements:
But Pickett/Eddy/SPP to Fisher
Roughy/WHE to Macrae or Zorko as a POD if I can afford.

[Ringo]

Changed mind about a dozen times

After sleeping on it decided to bench Swallow as he will not lose any more cash:

Pickett to Balic (realise Pickett has not made much cash but starting to get too many non starters on bench)
Roughy to Macrae.

Leaves me 3 Defenders, 2 mids and 2 fwd prems to complete. 24 trades remaining and famous last words should have 8u.10 for sideways or injury.

Next week addressing rookies nearing ceiling to increase cash.

What to do this week
a) Parfitt to Myers if named Houston to Black/Parsons for cash.
b) Houston/Butler to Black/Parsons , Marchbank to Docherty/Simpson
c) Houston and Butler to Black and Parsons if both named.
d) Could also do Butler to Meyers via Balic to restore DPP and then maybe Houston to Black /Parsons

[Capper]

[Ringo]

Still have 24 Cap prior to this week.

I dont see Parfitt in your team
Docherty is a must
Does Black keep his spot after the Cats lost?
Houston to Myers in 2 weeks before his bye

Pickett should be Parfitt.

[Ringo]

Really struggling to decide on trades this week now with Beams out?

Options are
1) sit as have cover (except fwds) but not a favourable option as some cash cows will rise in value.
2) Parfitt to Myers and Houston to Parsons. Giving a cash bank of $280k for next week
3) Houston to Parsons only leaving Parfit to Myers until Myers on bubble
3) Parfitt/Houston to Myers/Parsons and Beams to Adams. Adams to move back when upgrading Hampton/Otten or Marchbank.
4) Houston to Parsons, Beams to Rockliff $30k remaining.  Is it a week to early for Rockliff with a B/e of 205.

At the moment thinking 3 but thoughts or other options.

[GoLions]

Why trade Houston over Parfitt?

Parfitt to Parsons, and upgrade Beams if you don't want to hold him imo

I have Parfitt stuck in mids with only Macrae and Dahlhaus as DPP Options. Can bring them into mids if need be but does weaken forward line considerably.
