Round 13 Trades

[RaisyDaisy]

BYE: GWS, MELBOURNE, NORTH MELBOURNE, ESSENDON, COLLINGWOOD, BRISBANE

BUBBLE BOYS
Will Brodie (MID) 187.7k
Michael Apeness (FWD) 153.7k
Scott Jones (RUC) 117.3k
Stefan Giro (MID) 102.4k
Roarke Smith (DEF) 158.3k

As far as I know, the only bubble boys worth consideration next week are Ahern and Mihocek, so if people need to grab a downgrade option this week I would think Giro is the pick of the bunch at such a cheap price, but will anyone be bring in Brodie?

Discuss your R13 trades! :)

[Gigantor]

I really hope there is no carnage as I only have 20 spots available with Gawn and Grundy out

Guelfi>JJK bit risky but I have bugger all money and my team is screwed so I'm taking the punt, leaves me with 19

[RaisyDaisy]

Gawn, Grundy, Goldy and Stef all having the bye means a lot of teams will only have 20 spots available. NicNat owners might get a leg up this round

I too have 20 spots available. If Laird and Dusty both return then I have 18 playing before trades, but I'll be trading Guelfi to Gray for sure, just need to decide if I want to make a second or third trade

I could also trade Fritsch to Hoff, but if Fritsch puts up another good score today then I reckon I might even just keep him as my permanent F6 and save the trade. I'll grab Ahern next week, and I reckon Fritsch/Ahern for F6/7 would be decent as long as I have 5 top forwards

Dom Barry to Giro is tempting, but I'm not sure if that's actually good use of a trade, especially because I'm running super low on trades too and still don't have a complete side

Might just try and do the 1 trade this week as I'll probably need to do 2 or 3 next week

[Ringo]

Early thoughts but will probably change.

Really have issues with forwards with only 2 available
Tim Smith to Giro via DPP
McKernan/Bundy to Rocky via DPP
Guelfi to Gray

[SilverLion]

ZGL --> Westhoff
Ronke --> Giro

Depending on how he goes today, Spargo --> Someone...

What two mids do you already have that have DPP for you to even do both of those trades?

[Ricochet]

Spargo to Giro will be one. Then not sure

Have 16 + Walters and Duman before that trade

[Chrispy75]

Not sure why Giro would be a popular pick?

Scores of 39 and 63.  Has the round 14 bye, so you are trading in right before hand.  I get that he is 102k, but its how you use the cash that will be important.

I am considering Brodie instead.  Scores of 57 and 63.  More importantly will play the next two weeks when needed.  At $187k, he is 85k more expensive, but with injuries could play a good chunk of games as well.

Guess the main question is will these be bench keepers or cash cows?

Speculating on Ringos team, but I've moved some players around a bit during byes and currently have Heeney and Walters both in my mids - eg I traded Barry out, Walters to M, Sicily F to bring in Austin...

Giro is just a cash grab - you'd want him to be your M11 ideally, but he could be a lot of peoples M10

I've got Barry and Mutch clogging up M10/11, but I'm not sure they are worth using a trade on, especially for a measly 85k gain (Barry to Giro)

Freo are blooding all their kids so Giro might get a decent run. Brodie putting up similar numbers but costing so much more makes it hard to justify picking him I think, even with the extra game although I haven't completely ruled him out

Ah yes that would make the most sense :)

Spargo to Giro is 150k in the coffers, that money is critical. It also provides cover for Walters who will be rubbed out. I basically have two downgrades left so I'm not willing to settle on anything less than 300k combined. Next week it will be ZGL/Phillips to Ahern.

[jbjimmyjb]

These next two byes aren't looking good for me at all, (only 16 playing both weeks), I honestly think it's better to just forget about them and focus on long-term plans to win my league finals, as if I try and block the holes I'll be left with about 4 trades for the last 8 weeks, which is horrible.

I have 660k in the bank currently...
Round 13 Guelfi > Mclean.
Round 14 Spargo/Phillips > mid rookie & Keeffe/T Smith> a fwd premo (haven't decided)
And then Round 15 Holman > Macrae.

That will leave me with 6 trades for the rest of the season, no money but Fritsch and Doedee the only rookies on field.

Spargo and Westhoff.
Hopefully restore the DPP with Ahern Rd 14

[dylanclements]

Ronke > McLean
Ridley > Simpson
Brayshaw > Giro

Amazingly my plan to get my team off life support is looking pretty plausible

[batt]

Fritsch, ZGL and Henry out.

JJK, Hurn/Yeo/Simmo, Gray/Hoff in.
