Round 4 Trades

[Bully]

Crazy trading Drew, he still has a negative BE, you are wasting just about all your capital from the Libba trade & for a player who may or may not be a keeper. I like Worpel but how many second year mids go on to average 95+? Oliver......................O'Meara..................Cripps.........................now I'm struggling

Why? Positive BE next week with a 76 assuming he scores that. Complete role change now, hardly attended any CB's on the weekend. He is no good as a forward plodder. He's 200k, might make another 60k but gotta jump off early sometime and Worp is cheap, 420k for a possible top 10 forward. And no Titch, no Shiels, no Burgoyne currently, Cousins is their 3rd best mid currently, he has scope to do well. Contested ball magnet and clearance gun.

I'll add you Jelwood, Macrae, Ollie Wines, Nat Fyfe, Zorko and the list could go on. A lot of guys hit the high 80's mark so it's not unreasonable to think he can hit 90+ with relative ease, his scope to score well is there due to such an increased opportunity. I'd take a 95 for 420k.

Up to you but Drew is projected to make 40k this week.

I understand that completely. But get a forward keeper, probably get two keepers out of the trade with Libba as well. Ditch Dusty and a rookie. Hold Greene who is a forward keeper if he gets his body right. Big if. But that's the risk.

I would rather that than trade Greene to Boak and field a rookie during the meantime.

Really it's Worp + Greene v Boak + Drew.

Option 1 is much much much better.

To be honest I prefer the second suggestion.

Don’t understand why when Drew will be back to pegging 50’s and Boak won’t continue this ultra scoring, he’s not a 34 disposal a game player. Worp should score along at 95ish and Greene fit is 90+, GWS have a dream run coming up.

Boak a much better shot at being a top 6 forward than Worpel, his BE is also low so good time to pounce. Drew I would hold for that second price rise, then possible trade for Clarke next week & pocket 90k. Not convinced Worpel will average 95 this year.

Most definitely is but he's also a 100k more. And the need for Worp this week is to ultimately cover for Greene who's out as I believe Greene is back next week. So really making an upgrade next week with Greene back without actually making 'an upgrade' so to speak.

I'm convinced he can.

Game 1 - 27 touches, 12 contested, 6 clearances, 2 goals and still had 7 clangers for 110sc.
Game 2 - 25 touches, 11 contested, 7 clearances, 5 clangers and scored 92
Game 3 - 27 touches, 13 contested, 8 clearances, 4 clangers at 77% and scored 87. Mind you no tackles or marks and he took 9 combined for both cats in the first 2 weeks.

Those CP and clearance numbers bode very well. If he can improve on tackle and mark numbers that last game is easily 100+.
Averaging a healthy 26 touches too which is awesome. Don't see why he slides.

Best thing about Worp is that I think he has a really good floor. Often with forwards you see lots of inconsistencies. If I can get 85 minimum every week with the odd 110 I'm happy for 420k.

Up to you, if you're happy with an average in the 85-90 bracket then that's ok. For me now is the time to aim for the top 6 scorers on every line & I don't think Worpel is in the frame.

As for Greene, every man & his dog will jump on if he hits the ground running. On the other hand if he starts slow then his price will remain stable & those looking for a bargain will buy in when the time is right. Can't see Greene being a POD however you look at it.

I'm with Wato on this, if Worpel plays most of the game in the guts, then his floor will be around 85 you would think. He could easily become F6 in the end and average 90+. Not many good forwards to choose from this year and not many play predominantly in the midfield. I think Boak has the better chance to be top 6-8 forward, but if you can use the $100k elsewhere, then Worpel is not a bad option.

Dollhouse?

Could be another good option but I haven't really been watching him this year. By looking at his stats he is a tackling machine this year, and if that keeps up, he will have a solid scoring floor. I don't know where he is being played and if he ends up getting more forward than mid time then his output might be impacted eventually.

Cheers. Just worried I'll miss Stack, Atkins is the only expendable rookie mid. Scott will be back and Wagner going OK.

Because only Atkins is worth trading out . Scott and Wagner have more money to make.

I'd deal with that problem when it arises, you might find Scott isn't rushed back in.

Going Dusty to Libba tonight, give me tonight to work the other trade.

[Blues Blues Blues]

Really confused this week.

Team is:
Lloyd, Williams, Smith, Collins, Duursma, Clark (Hore, Burgess)
Macrae, Cripps, Fyfe, Oliver, Dusty, Libba, Walsh, Constable (Atkins, Butters, Gibbons)
Grundy, Gawn (Sweet)
Danger, Kelly, Greene, Moore, Setterfield, Parker (Drew, Petrucelle)

Cash $26.2k.

Thinking either:
1. Dusty to Whitfield (via Duursma to Mid), Atkins to Stack (leaves 22k)
2. Dusty to Brouch/Sheed, Greene to Dahl/Worpel

Option 1 gives me a keeper in Whitfield. Plus my mid rookies should be strong enough to cover one less premo mid.
Option 2 probably scores more but not sure any are keepers

Thoughts??

You want keepers (of course)

Maybe instead of downgrading Atkins (who has looked quite good and will make another $100k) you should downgrade Greene (who won't be top 6).

Maybe to Marshall?  Or Stack?

Greene to Marshall can’t get enough cash for Dusty to Whit, and Stack is a mid and have no way of using DPP to turn Greene into him.

This is doing my head in.
