Round 13 Trades

[HoleMeal]

Possible...
Out - Spargo, Guelfi, D Smith (3 byes and D Smith injury concern as well)...or Ronke instead of D Smith (allows a week to see on injury)
In - McLean, JJK, Brodie/Ryan (3 already have had the bye)

Depends on teams though... not sure on Brodie's JS just need him for next two byes, Holman is still in my team and if he's dropped he could be gone instead...same for Ronke...will look at offloading these guys the following week if they're named for this week.

Could also do...
Out - Spargo, Guelfi, T Smith ( 3 byes and T Smith who still has a shed load of coin to make but is an option regardless)
In - McLean, JJK, Mihocek ( 2/3 have bye... Mihocek having the bye but have 6 defenders available anyway)

I would personally pass on Mihocek. Was very quiet last week and Pies have players to come back like Moore and Reid. Redman looked terrific and with Bombers blooding guys he may get a good run at it.

Doedee > Simpson
Holman > Giro
Guelfi > McLean

I would caution those planning to bring in Hurn to have a close look at his scoring patterns over the past 5-6 seasons. Each year he has a 'purple patch' which ends up significantly higher than his end of season average. It could well be that he ends up averaging low 90s for the season, which means he goes at low-mid 80s from here...

1105/11 so far at 100ppg
2024/22 at 92 ppg is a plausible average for Hurn considering his history.

2024-1105 = 919
919/11 = 83-odd is not great, especially given he's priced at 95+

I could be wrong, but I'm not going near him.

I considered Hurn, but I think I'll grab Hurley next week instead for my last spot

[SilverLion]

Ronke --> Battle
ZGL --> Westhoff
Spargo --> Giro

Until the teams drop and ruin my plan ;D

I'm pretty sure that until recently Hurn was given a fwd tag that always stopped him being a premo, instead averaging 85-90 most years.
His "purple patches" were when he wasn't tagged and/or got off the chain.
He's not been tagged much if at all this year and that is why he's having his best year in ages.

I trust the FF player descriptors, and in a quick scan back there's been no 'tag' icon for the past 3 years. I didn't bother looking back further. It may have been that he had a more accountable defensive role perhaps, though that's a different story altogether. Anyway like I said, good luck to those who lean that way, I just won't be one of them.

I don't recall Hurn getting tagged a lot - it was mostly due to who we had available, or more so who we didn't

Hurn had to man up and be accountable, but because we have a much better backline now he has a lot more freedom in a sense ,which allows him to intercept more, and be the general down back and it's a role he plays really well because of how well he reads the play, and in turn this has improved his scoring

[Colty]

Can’t seem to get anything definite on Devon Smith.

[Ringo]

McKernan to Wines via Westhoff Could do Rockliff to save 90k but think Wines has a greater ceilling.
Guelfi to JJ Kennedy

Only have 18 playing and holding last trade pending late outs.

Any port fans know what Westhoff is like in the wet? Meant to be moist tomorrow night

The Hoff excels in the wet, all those years on Baywatch

[enzedder]

Had another think....
D Smith (bye/inj?) Guelfi (bye) Ronke (bye R14) to McLean, R Gray & JJK. Looks solid to me.

Pretty good trades imo

[RaisyDaisy]

Still can't decide what trades to do

I'm running really low on trades and still have several rookies on field

I know I'm bringing in Ahern and Hurley next week, but just need to finalise who comes in and out this week and it doesn't help that when teams are announced I'll only have an hour or so to finalise something due to Port players playing tomorrow night
