Marc Murphy

[tor01doc]

remember that the first game is only relevant to 1 price rise! if butler spuds next week and pickett fires watch the flip flops in who makes more money!  caught me out before! leave the rage trades for round 3! i hope this is the case! ps cripps better bloody fire next week!

Still ants, I love a rage trade

Surely you had to know Pickett was going to put up scores like last night's

I did, and I still picked him

I was expecting 50's but I'll just wait and see how he goes in the next match.

No point bringing him in now unless you plan on keeping him.. wouldn't waste 2 trades for a $100K gain.

Agree, needs to become a keeper for you to bring him in now. If he is averaging 110+ in a month or so then grabbing him under 550k is still fine, but I'd wait for now

Months of study, statistical analysis, forums etc and one game in people willing to throw out all of it based on a single performance.     Even if Murphy has a great season and goes 110+ against mids chosen you are down maybe 100-150 points.   Cash generation comes from our rookies and chosen midpricers.      Hang tough and back you plans in.   

Cash generation from Murphy will be far superior to Pickett who looks like being a royal dud. I'm actually thinking about ways to get Pickett out and bring Murphy in with one trade.

Murphy $432,500 + Pickett $123,900 = $563,400

An average rookie (not necessarily Butler (hindsight etc etc) but say Eddy, Parfitt, Houstonwehaveaproblem, Barrett) $120,000 + Pickett $123,900 = $243,900

Which frees up $319,500

Which turns Thurlow (ha) into say Laird, Shaw, Adams (all keepers acc to most).

Same if not better cash generation and prob save a trade because I think those defenders are more likely keepers than Murphy.

All fair points and that's why I went 3 strong in defence to begin with. Thurlow's axing has justified that move. Looking at things logically, not sure I can get him in with my current structure, unless I offload Higgins.

I went Shaw, Adams, Laird, Marchbank, Hampton, Otten (Hibberd, Stewart)

I'm really really happy with that backline setup Bully.  8)

I picked Murph in draft. However i put him on my bench...

Identical to mine only I picked Docherty.

I want Doc too but hoping to pick him up cheaper.

I reckon our backline setup was definitely the way to go. :)

My team looks so even all over the ground as a result...

[sammy123]

had murph for most of pre season but then went with beams

[RaisyDaisy]

That's a very common backline I'm sure. I've got the same too except I went Docherty Shaw Laird

[Ringo]

Got sick of seeing too many similar so went Rance Laird Howe Happy with Howe and Rance will come good when Tigers start playing better teams.

[Judd Magic]

That's a very common backline I'm sure. I've got the same too except I went Docherty Shaw Laird

Yeah it probably is but Marchbank, Hampton and Otten I reckon are a good fit for D4-D6 too.  8)

Yep, running the same with same guys on bench

Great minds think alike RD.  :P

[ants]

juddy and matt interested on your thoughts of going cripps to murphy or is that a bit reactive! if cripps stuffs it up next week i will only have 1 rookie correctional trade for round 3 and i would like 2! ps i also have the same backline to you juddy and will probably pick up dochers for my first upgrade or simmo!

[Mat0369]

Reactive. I also wouldn't be downgrading premiums. If he scores a 70 and still doesn't look quite right sideways trade him to a guy you are confident will be top 8.

[_wato]

Geez I'm running an odd backline compared to most.
