The "Talk Me Out Of It" Thread

[LaHug]

With two trades per week in AF, there are going to be a lot of kneejerk trades early on. Here's a thread to list a trade you're considering that you need talking out of (or maybe you'll be talked into it).

I'll start:

Out - JOM, In - Witts

[Ringo]

Two injury watches in Swallow and Smith. This will dictate trades.
Do we keep faith in rookies like Eddy, Pickett, Otten, Hibberd and co for another week or use our trades this week?
So basically wait for teams and then decide to cover 0 scoring players,

Happy to stick with my rookies on the bench for now (if named) Pickett,Otten,Hibberd etc but with the luxury of two trades per week is very tempting to move JOM + Swallow on now

Thinking this atm
JOM + Swallow out

Buddy/Premo fwd + Mid Rookie in (Pickett to mids bench)

If Swallow plays, I wouldn't do it. He's set to make heaps of cash. If not, definitely going to talk you into that one and not out of it!

Kinda hoping Swallow isn't named haha. Makes my team structure look a lot better -Mids currently stacked JOM M7,Swallow M8, SPP on bench & a much more solid looking fwd line but totally agree LaHug if named definantly the wiser decision to hold onto him for the money

Taranto to Hannan ??

Taranto to Hannan ??

I would expect GWS to give Taranto another game. They are playing GC at home this week & the whole of the GWS team would improve a lot you would think, helping his scores.

Tough one but I'd be giving Taranto atleast another week & getting Hannan another way

[WhatMate]

Out: Mills, Horlin-Smith

In: Zak Jones

Seems like Jones has been released after watching the Swans game on the wekeend; wasnt happy with his teammate mills who didnt find it enough.

Didnt get to watch the Geelong game so not sure if anything happened. Happy with GHS scoring rate, not happy with his TOG (64%)

I was doing out O'Meara and NRoo, in Hannan and Dusty.

Now Waite is injured so I might try something else.

NRoo out for 2-6, so you have to move him on

NRoo -> Whoever (Zerrett? using DPP)
Waite-> Cameron from Adelaide (nice friendly role)

Bowes->Hannan and JSmith->McGrath

[Koop]

Someone please talk me out of Clayton Oliver :-\

[timmyparso]

D Swallow => Murphy

Bowes->Hannan and JSmith->McGrath

Apparently out for 1 potentially but It's too much cash to sit on the bench.

I'm thinking NRoo>Dusty using Parfitt and Waite to Touk. It means I will have to field one of Pickett, Eddy or Parfitt.

He's ranga

Do what I did and field Eddy. It's a really good strategy and doesn't make you want to punch a wall or anything...
