Round 4 Trades

[Bully]

So pending the team sheets I'll be doing Fyfe to Libba, Greene to Marshall. That will leave 240k in the coffers & sets me up nicely to get Lloyd in a couple of weeks.

Is fyfe/smith -> Libba/Lloyd a waste?

Keeper/stepping stone to potentially 2 keepers (or at least 1 and a better stepping stone).

Thoughts?

Not sure why you want to drop off Brodie Smith, but Fyfe to Libba & Clark to Lloyd in a few weeks sounds a very smart trade. Just bank the money & focus on other areas that need addressing.

goldstien/bsmith > mumford/Lloyd
180-190 v 210-220    15 rounds at 30points a round = 450 points better off.

Is this too sideways or good move.   cannot get lloyd unless I downgrade goldy

I cannot fathom why people are even considering trading out Fyfe.

Will miss one maybe two weeks tops, is bang on to be a top 10 midfielder when he returns,

Lets also not forget that you wont be missing an entire score, just whatever the difference would be having a rookie on field.

Basically you're spending a trade for the 60 odd points that would make up the difference between a rookie score and a premium this week

He's missing through concussion, so it's not as if it will be a lingering injury, and it even gives him a chance to rest the elbow he was having issues with preseason.

Would only do that trade if you were top 50 overall.

[hawkers65]

he may only miss 1, but reckon it will be 2 and then he'll have a minimum 2 games of underperforming.

gone very similar to this, Dunkley to Marshall and Atkins to Libba. Gets another useless rookie off the park.

So let's say Fyfe only misses a week & struggles against the De Boer tag, Libba maintains a 100 average & hits 450k. That's probably a loss of 50 points & 100k, not to mention the scores of people who will jump on Fyfe if he hits 550k. Plenty of sense & not a lot of downside. I have every intention of bringing Fyfe back but with a BE of 169 he's about to shed some cash so best to wait on the sidelines.

I'm with you bully!!

I can't fathom why posters keep asking the same questions and you keep repeating yourself.

There has been plenty examples of concussion being a lingering issue

This is literally the only reason why i am considering trading him. Could very well come back after 1-3 weeks and be well down on output for up to 2 months. If that's the case, you could lose a few hundred points. Offload him now to someone like Neale, pick him up once he bangs out one or two good scores at under 500k.

Of course, everyone comes back from concussion differently, so he very well could go 100+ as soon as he returns. Which is why i haven't traded...yet

Not sure why you want to drop off Brodie Smith, but Fyfe to Libba & Clark to Lloyd in a few weeks sounds a very smart trade. Just bank the money & focus on other areas that need addressing.

I find it strange you're such a big advocate of trading a certain Top 5 midfielder in Fyfe, but not a dicey midpricer in Smith (For the record, I see benefits to trading both).

A 320K+ defender really needs to be a keeper and Smith is looking way off the standard for mine. Does anyone honestly think he will still finish the season as a Top 6 defender?

We all picked him with an understanding that he had a monopoly on the kick-ins at the Crows and would consequently benefit from the new rules, but Gibbs was taking them all in the Cats game. Therefore, what is the point of persisting with him? He doesn't win his own ball and is a significant risk to go completely missing for large periods during games.

I don't see any problem with cutting our losses now if it helps bring in Lloyd or Whitfield (certain Top 6 defenders).

Anyone thinking Brodie would be anywhere near the top 10 defenders was gonna have a bad time, I picked him as a stepping stone due to the uncertainty around a few of the top defenders before the start of the season. 332k was a steep price for a stepping stone in defence but if he can stick around an 80 average, he'll be an easy upgrade when he's hopefully made around 100k. Brodie's always been an up and down player so he'll put in a big score soon to get that cash gen going.

Ok well why not use him as a stepping stone now if you have the money to bring in a Lloyd or Whitfield?

He doesn't really scream "must-hold" to me if we're simply waiting around hoping for a couple of big scores to squeeze out an extra 80k from him...

Happy to have a bloke to average 80 right up until the byes, in fact happy to keep Smith for the season & plonk him at D7. Concerns are the rookies, the sooner I can get them off the park the better. I also think Smith has more cash to make, ceiling very high so a couple of big games & he hits 450k.
