It is only a guide Ubeaut. Trade away if you need too, I am lucky so far, no injuries and only Brayshaw to deal with. Do have Bont and would normally keep him, see upgrading bont as the only way to get Dusty before end of byes.

Yeah I know. The other side of the coin is u go early on a Brayshaw/ Venables/Naughton and they don't get dropped and/or start scoring well, and the player/s u bring in flop/get dropped!
It's a tough balancing act!

This is a conundrum every year. Ideally u wait for 2 games to get a better look/idea of players form/role especially for rookies and mid pricers.
The problems arise when u get injuries(Ryder/Kreuz/Libba) plus two or more rookies that need correcting.
We only get 2 trades next week before price changes. We have 2 extra trades this week if needed but people don't want to use them unless LTI.

For example I have Venables,Naughton,Brayshaw as possible rookie corrections. I also have Walters who I genuinely believe was a mistake. Add an injury to that and that's 5 potential trades! 5 does not go into 2.

Say Venables gets dropped next week.Brayshaw flops while Fogarty/Barry score well and keep their spots. That's 2 trades already.
Naughton scores another 20-30 and Walters gets injured or continues to play predominantly fwd.

I really don't want a Pickett/Eddy/Florent mark 2. That is what happened last season when I didn't trade after round 1. And it stuffed my cash flow big time.

Your looking for the best possible outcome for your team. If that means trading this week, then so be it.

Walters will go 100+ this week I believe...

In similar conundrum. Have decided on Brayshaw -> Garlett, for cash. Hopefully 2 trades will be sufficient for next week.

Yeah don't think I'd be smashing that panic button just yet ubeaut.

I thought Walters played a good amount of midfield last week. They should bounce back this week so a 100 is definitely on the cards.

I'd be trading any injured players you have this week, but don't stress about the rookies until we've seen another game. Don't panic on Naughton and Brayshaw too much, Barry and Fogarty could throw in shockers just as easily.

Injury trades first and foremost, then a couple of correctionals if necessary after this round.

Will be downgrading someone (probably Naughton or Brayshaw) so I can bring in Dusty for Crouch.

After a day of thinking I've come up with a few options to get the $$ (pending performances this week ofc):

1) Armitage -> Bonner via Finlayson
2) Brayshaw -> Lachie Fogarty
3) Naughton -> Mihocek

Did i miss a whole week or are we still at the beginning of round 2

Decided to bring in Garlett for Bell and have another look at English. I think Garletts JS is reasonable.

Edit: Should have been in the round two trades thread. Oh well. ::)

Thoughts on my proposed trades for round 3?

1.) Dunkley out, fisher in
Fisher has some real explosive speed playing around the wing. I think he is more likely to get more of the footy as he runs around the ground. Also getting fisher frees up around 30k which i can use to trade in promos in form.
2.) garlett out, english in
Also i currently have garlett at f5, but he has failed to impress. English however can not only play in the fwd line but get hitouts, so he's more likely to get the ball.

RaisyDaisy · April 01, 2018, 12:24:21 AM

The best performing guys after 2 rounds that I don't have are

DEF: Simpson and Shaw
MID: Dusty, Oliver and Conigs
FWD: Devon Smith

In terms of rookies, English and L.Fogarty are the only two on my radar, but I need to see how they go tomorrow and Monday to see if they will still be on my radar

Hibberd and Crouch would be my main concerns at this stage. Lobb and Arma are iffy, but are by no means going bad enough to need to be traded right now

Hibberd to Shaw is almost locked. Reckon my second trade will either be bringing in one of English/Fog if they justify it, or trading Crouch to Dusty or Oliver. Might even delay that trade to the following week as it gives another chance to see Danger play his second game, and Dusty/Oliver play a third. I'll lose points carrying Crouch for next week, but he won't drop in cash and it could pay off down the line

I'd say Hibberd to Shaw is done, but the second trade will depend on how English/Fog go

Was arvo shift and had a family emergency the weekend of Rd.1 Thus started A Brayshaw in defence and forgot to pick my emergencies. The only rookie I don't have is English, very happy with all the rest. Three trades I like for Rd.3 are:-

1/ Rioli for Taranto
2/ A Braysaw for Bonner if he goes well again
3/ M Hibberd for Shaw, K Simpson, J Lloyd or S Savage

If the worst comes to the worst, the only way I can see three fitting in to two is to perhaps go:-
1/ Rioli C to Taranto
2/ Hibberd to Bonner Of course if Bonner doesn't fire up again the choice is easy. Anybody have any thoughts or suggestions please ??

Hibberd to Shaw is a great trade, that extra cash can be used for Danger at some stage.

i'd wait on Cyril but Taranto is pretty risky, think you need to trade up to Walters/D.Smith if you don't have them, or trade down to English and build the warchest. If Cyril produces then Brayshaw to Fogarty would be a good move as it gives you another 80k.

AaronKirk · April 01, 2018, 12:58:25 AM

Hibberd to Shaw is a terrible idea. Must have no other problems with your team if you are sideways trading premos after 2 weeks.

I have Hibberd and yes in hindsight would have kept Hurley but i'm going to stick with him for now.

I'd be sticking to correctional rookie trades and LTI's at this stage. If you picked Hibberd I don't see why you would be trading him after 2 weeks.

duffercoat · April 01, 2018, 01:02:36 AM

Considering Hibberd to Lloyd, Shaw or Bonner. Lower possession count in his two games this year than all of last season. Clearly his scoring is going to be lower this year.

Also thinking I will turn Brayshaw into Taranto via Garlett. Will mean I only have 1 FWD rookie onfield then which I probably should've had from the start. Thought Taranto looked really good today too, spending almost all his time in the midfield.
