Is Gibbons worth trading in (for those that don't have him)?

Is Gibbons worth trading in (for those that don't have him)?

I'm pondering whether to trade him out!
I think I want to make sure I have Constable and Parker for their expected price rises. Balta to Parker seems straight forward, but choosing between Gibbons and Atkins to bring in Constable is proving difficult, are these trades worth it?

If you get Constable, you should have him on field. Losing Gibbons or Atkins doesn't necessarily get him there without taking another (potentially good) rookie off-field.
Balta to Parker seems straightforward on its face. I could do the same. Remain to be convinced that Parker can keep plugging out around 80. 70 may be more realistic longer term.
Selections come Wednesday/Thurs/Fri may help us.

Got all the rookies I want now.

Defence - Clark, Duursma, Wilkie, Burgess (only missing Scrimshaw but not too fussed)
Midfield - Walsh, LDU, Constable, Butters, Scott, Atkins (only missing Cousins?)
Forward - Drew, Setterfield, Petruccelle, Parker (don't think I'm missing anyone?

Only issue for me now is 4 trades used to make corrections which is 2 more than I wanted so gotta be careful with trades moving forward. Have to hope 1/2 of Smith/BRouch/Greene become keepers for me. Cash flow should be awesome though and have all the big prems I want bar Lloyd and a few midfield guys but they'll be upgrade targets anyway.

bloody well done wato.   what are your thoughts on my corrective trades in corrective thread.  ? on js for clark and atkins

I have Cousins, Walsh and Butters on field, Scott, Atkins and Gibbons on bench. Still think I want to get Constable in.

So do you really want to get one of those three that are onfield off? If so, for mine, there's your trade. I wouldn't bench an expensive rookie. Admit there's something wrong on field, and correct that. Or hold. Or downgrade a mid-price or premium.

Cripps a chance to return this week, alongside Gaff

I'd think two of Smith, Venables and Petrucelle make way for them

Finger crossed Petruccelle holds his spot

I'm a WCE fan, saw it live obviously ;)

I don't think he gets dropped for what it's worth. Venables out for Gaff and Smith out for Cripps should be the moves, but after those 2 Petro is probably next in line, and Rioli walks back in once fit too, so hopefully Petro keeps doing enough

Who to turn into Durrsma? Hore (any point if he's back this week), Gibbons, Scott (possible out).  All -ve BE's but Duursma's is easily the best don't feel like the rest of my rookies warrant trading out.

DEF: Collins, Burgess, Clark, Hore
MID: Cousins, Walsh, Constable, Setterfield, Scott, Gibbons
FOR: Drew, Powell, Parker, Balta, Petrucelle

Scott would be stiff to be dropped. Didnt play well but think he was outta his confort zone playing half forward

So maybe Hore if not named or Gibbons.  Or just miss out on him completely and save the trade...

LDU, Rozee, Walsh, Scrimshaw, Miers, Collins, Atkins, Wilkie, Petrucelle, Sparrow, Gibbons, Schultz, McKay

I am reluctant to use the term "must-have", but does anyone think any of the above rookies are crucial selections for cash generation?

Walsh and LDU have good JS, but are not crucial to making money. They'll make money, but you need to invest more upfront obviously

Scrimshaw and Atkins represent good value for money imo

Rozee is too expensive for me and not required

Sparrow, Schultz, McKay I wouldn't touch

Most sides need 1 of Miers/Petrucelle as F8, and Wilkie should be alright too. None of them are musts, but there decent bench options
