Round 5 Trades

[Holz]

Am I better off trading Roughead or Florent to Balic this week?

Trading Roughead means I play Balic

Trading Florent means I play Roughead

Florent probably will make 5k more cash.

Roughy will probably score 30+ more

depends what you value more.

Hmmm, think I'll take the points.

[Ringo]

Just went through my trades for a while and I always seemed to have cash in the bank stemming from not using cash in an upgrade for this week so I have $240k sitting there that's unlikely to be used for awhile so I figure I may as well use it.

I'm always one for cashing rookies early to prem up quick.

So have gone Marchbank > Montagna as a POD. Heater would be nice but can't have all 4 defender premos missing Rd 13.

Adams, Laird, Howe, Montagna, Otten, Newman (Hampton, Williamson)
Danger Rocky Fyfe Beams Treloar Murphy Steele SPP (SPS, Barrett, Parfitt)
Witts, Sandi (Strnadica)
Dahl, Macrae, Nank, Higgins, Roughy, Butler (Parfitt, Eddy)

Or should I use the money elsewhere?

I would hold Marchbank (has an achievable B/E so a little more cash) for another week and your decision.
You have Parfitt twice.
I would do a Rookie down to Baliic then Roughy to a mid of your choice you can afford via Steele. Should be able to get anmy mid including Pendles, JPK, Sloane - Alternatively could just do Roughie to who you can afford but may cut down a few options.

Second Parfitt is Pickett hahaha
Reason why I'm cutting him loose early is the fact they play Port and then Sydney, I'm not sure how well he will score in the next few weeks. Might only have $30-50k left in him but stretched over 3 weeks. Roughy plays Weagles whom he has a career avg of 105 against and then Saints (103 avg) and I expect the Hawks to lift and rough to lift also. If he doesn't he becomes Pendles next week anyway so I'm holding off the inevitable trade if he scores badly. Jones is not a keeper and he plays Giants this week so a 60 could be on the cards hence why Roughy stays for now. Joey is a massive pod and a good pod too, don't see him missing games and see him scoring around 100. Is it really that bad of a trade?

I also don't rate Balic as highly as some, would rather a def rookie in Williamson especially with Fisher Parsons and Myers coming in over the next few weeeks.

Fair enough.

For the record depending on teams named I am probably doing Pickett to Balic and Roughy to Macrae,

There's just something about Roughy. 3 scores above 72 in his first 3 weeks and then an absolute howler in a smoking and went 53. Terrible ball delivery and on radio could hear missed kicks to him which would've resulted in a 70 again. He's a gun player and if he can break the shackles he will go 110. Eagles this week in a MUST win at a ground where Eagles play poorly could be the day.

I still have hopes he can be a solid F6 with Steele F7/M9.

Roughead & Eddy/Barrett (if they're still not named)
to
Balic & Martin via Nankervis

Did the same

Yeah I hear what you're saying, but every week we keep copping a 70-80 we just fall further behind

The odds of him going 90+ from here on out would have to be low

No doubt he will still crank out a few 100+ and 90+ scores, but I think there will be a fair share of sub par scores in between

Anyone considering Goldy if Preuss is dropped?

[Holz]

Anyone considering Goldy if Preuss is dropped?

big BE and playing sandi.

my advice is if preuss is dropped then wait one week and pick up Goldy the week after if preuss is not back.

Mason Wood is in which is why i think they are considering 1 ruck. Then Waite is not far away.

Good point, if Preuss is dropped might not get Stef afterall this week...

shouldnt people still be wary that preuss will return at a later date, ready to ruin goldys scores?

not if wood is the person they move him out for. Have said all season that he is playing as they have their forward line injured.

O'Meara and the cash in bank will get you a good mid with 1 trade

[tkringle]
