Round 5 Trades

[RaisyDaisy]

Surely noone is trading Rotham in, covering injured defenders, looks good, but not his time yet.

I've already commented twice about him. If people want to ignore it and pick him, let them ;)

If he gets named this week I'll pick him, happy to take the first price rise & then park him on the bench. I have the Moore/Burgess swing so I really don't think I'll get caught short. Also not fussed if he's in & out, he only needs 3 games between now & the byes.

And that's the correct approach to take when selecting - be aware that he will be in and out and might take long time to earn so having him at D8 is the only spot I would look to have him. People trading Clark to Rotham are going to get themselves in trouble

Here's my take, if Jetta comes back & Rotham retains his spot it means the coaches are rewarding performance, particularly if the side is restructured around the newcomer. One bad game & he's out but his BE is -81 & is projected to hit 195k & then 257k the week after. That to me is worth a trade & I have no issues trading Clark who looks to be tiring a bit. With Hore perfectly capable of running on the field, Rotham can be benched & loopholed in due course. Two price rises over the next 6 weeks? I'll take my chances.

And the flip side to all this is I catch Boak who is looking like a runaway train & could feasibly hit 590k next week. So it's 70k + 30k if the Boak maintains his form. Think there's plenty of sense here but contingent on teams of course, certainly bets are all off if not named.

Apart from Stack there are no other rookie options though unless you pull the trigger early on Ross which would be a gamble.

Butters to Stack probably my only reasonable trade option as a downgrade the use the cash from my Dusty to Libba trade from last week to upgrade Drew or Parker to a def/fwd (can swing moore).  Looking at Tom Stewart but that would be 5 cats in my side with 4 on field.

Unfortunately won't have enough cash to bring in Lloyd or Whitfield. If I double downgrade this week will be able to do so next week but miss the points this week.

Butters, Parker out...Rotham, Marshall in? Take a pass on Stack?

I'll be saving a mid rook downgrade for Ross, don't really have enough vacancies for Stack. My personal feeling re. Stack is that he'll get rested over the coming weeks. Might be totally wrong but the kid came over from WA a little underdone & was the reason he was overlooked at draft time. Fitness also saw him left out of the state squad for the opening game at the u/18 carnival. Admittedly he has worked his butt off (whilst living with the Hardwicks) but that doesn't necessarily make me feel he's capable of producing another 4-5 game stretch. Might be totally wrong of course but think I'll just wait for Jack Ross.

Agree totally, will miss Stack and grab Ross next week.

The thing is though they gave him a shot when he was underdone. So should get games here and there im assuming. I guess it comes down to how many free spots you have, the other thing is having Ross and Stack might be an ok thing if you have them on the bench as you would think one would play most weeks.

My thinking is to get rid of Butters this week for Rotham and have Duursma in mids. Rotham/Clark can be D7 and have Hore at D8. As long as they both make cash, can downgrade one of Hore/Rotham to a rookie once they've bottomed out and upgrade another rookie, move Duursma back to Def. Next week though, Scott/Atkins to Ross and hopefully upgrade Setters/Parker.

Whats everyone doing with Settlefield his rub out for 2 weeks do we hold or trade

[Keeper27]

so depending on teams... im looking at Petrucelle and Burgess out.
in comes O'brien (R3) via Bines to (F8) and Rotham (D8)

leaves me with $98.4k + my $48.8K = $147.2K

Next week Butters & Setters gone to Ross and Rocky  :P

His DPP is handy and with Carlton playing Sunday games in the next 2 weeks he would be handy as a loophole.

I'd hold onto him.

[Money Shot]

Have slightly changed my thinking in terms of trading.

Clark to Hore
Scott to Stack
315k in kitty

Next week

Atkins/Gibbons to Ross
Setterfield/Parker/Petrucelle/Drew to Boak

Although Boak will drop off from the 120 average I believe he is a must have. Also has the perfect bye.

[david17]

Is it to early to trade Butters?
Is it time to trade Dunkley?

Butters to Stack?
Dunkley to Boak?

Leaves me with 100k

[Southstorm]

Have decided to go Clark to Hore and then Parker to Rotham via Burgess DPP loop.

Gives me an extra $195k to upgrade Moore to one of Whitfield or Lloyd next week (hopefully)

Unfortunately leaves me a forward line of Drew, Setterfield, Petrucelle and Burgess... Very sketchy with Dangerfield potentially out for two... Might run the gauntlet nonetheless.

Am I reading this correct? Is that 4 trades to get Boak in?

Looks like it but gets three decent rookies who hopefully make him a ton of cash

[RoughRed]

What am i missing here on Dangerfield??

I assume he was referring to him getting suspended. All good, didn’t happen.
