Round 20 trades

[jvalles69]

Whoo hoo, won my semi final by 100+ points, caught a bit of luck with my opponent copping a donut.  Scrambled to trade Lloyd out and if I had left Ryan as cover and kept to my original trades then I would've had an even higher score this week!  Grand final this week and I'm projected to win by 20pts, but can't trust that.

POD differences...my teams on the left.

Def: Adams, Newnes, Touhy vs Shaw, Witherden, Newman
Mid: Rocky, Neale, Heppell vs Dusty, Oliver, Fyfe
Ruc: Darcy vs Ryder
For: Jack, Buddy, Gray vs Yeo, Sidebottom, Menegola

My weaknesses are Jack and Darcy, and I think Heppell will struggle against Carlton, so options based on cash are:

Option 1: Heppell -> Beams and Jack -> Sidebottom
Option 2: Darcy -> Gawn and Jack to someone priced around 490k and under
Option 2: Darcy -> Gawn and Heppell -> Beams

[Jukes]

Double downgrade for me - Hibberd and Callum Brown to Skinner and Partington so I actually have two players on the bench playing

Still pissed off about going Ebert over Beams

[Rusty00]

Spudennebery > Beams
Greene > any forward except Sidebottom

[jvalles69]

On closer look, I'm thinking the unthinkable!  Zerrett has Blues and Crows, 2 teams that are tough to score on, and after Libba tagging Zerrett you'd think he's gonna get tagged 100% this week...

Also with Lions, will Libba tag Zorko or Beams??

[jvalles69]

Have done a bit more research.

Sidebottom looks like he'll be tagged by Gibson.
Merrett or Heppell or both will get tagged by Carlton.
Gibbs and Murphy go huge against Bombers (would look at Gibbs due to his ceiling)
Beams or Zorko to get the Libba tag.
Rocky is spending a fair bit of the game late up forward.

Can I possibly trade Zerrett to Gibbs??  :o

[WhatMate]

So Blakely out? Dislocating that shoulder twice cant be good news.. Bloody excellent after bringing him in this week

Held Lloyd because I was out and distracted and didnt know he was a late out; he was already on the chopping block, but I was kissed by having Ryan on the bench.

JPK is now officially on the chopping block also.

Danger ???

Kreuz ???

think after yesterday Rich may get the tag again.

Hmm, good point.  Beams would prob be 3rd in line for the tag then, might be the guy to bring in this week for someone!

[jvalles69]

Settled on:

Darcy -> Gawn

and

Rocky -> Beams

It is only Monday though...  :-\

Danger ??? out

Kreuz ???

Im thinking I'll hold Danger and bring Greenwood into the midfield as cover and trade out Mountford or Cousins for Alison.

That leaves me with 207k and some time to work out what to do with Lloyd, Blakely, JPK, Kreuz, Darcy, and Preuss later in the week.

[nrich102]

Danger and Hodge suspended  >:(

[Capper]

atm danger and Ryder to Sidey and Gibbs

[jvalles69]

Best ruckman to bring in?

Grundy against Goldy
Ryder or Jacobs
Gawn against Mummy

Kreuzer against Bombers is the logical choice, but it's my cash league grand final and I don't need the risk of a late out.

[LaHug]

Ryder gives really good flexibility and is in superb form. I think it's between him and Gawn (price!). Grundy's historically poor against Goldy so I wouldn't get him this week. I was hoping Goldy would stay in the twos :(



For me, I'm in a pickle. I've got Blakely, JPK, Danger, Darcy. I'll use next week's trades to fix anything else but, for this week, which scoring combo?

1. Ryan, Gawn, Tucker
2. Houli, Zorko/Gibbs/Dusty, Soldo
3. Houli, Young, Ryder

Tricky decision. Ryan and Tucker could go alright this week with Freo playing GC, but I think it has to be one of the options with 2 premos. I'd be leaning towards option 2 and hoping one of the big gun mids go huge.
