Week 8 Trades

[_wato]

So for everyone who is not double downgrading this week, what are you doing next week and the week after?

In a perfect world (although I'm bracing for carnage anytime soon) I'll probably be doing Atkins to rookie, Walsh to Lloyd/Neale/Bont/Kelly. The week after will be Obrien to one of the guys listed who I haven't taken. My feeling is I really need to maintain maximum advantage with the upgrades, at least for the next fortnight, hopefully by that stage Boak is the only must-have I don't own.

Atkins to which rookie ?

Duursma to Ryan/Sicily should leave me about $110,000

I’ll either downgrade to a rookie or upgrade a Walsh, Libba, Moore, Greene type.
Downgrading to a rookie would be preferable but Stocker and Keilty both scored pretty poorly in round 1.

Whoever puts their hand up, with DPP options in defence & in the forwards it really doesn't matter which line it is.

My point exactly

What rookies do you guys plan on downgrading to?

There appears to be very slim pickings beyond this week, short term

Double downgrade is a must this week, imo

[IntegralX]

Considering doing an upgrade...

Petro/Drew to Answerth/Pendlebury, Duursma back to def and Moore to fwd

BE of 54 he’s not getting any cheaper, but I need to hope Clark gets dropped so I can loop Hore/Duursma

Guess you could do 1 up 1 down and then could bring in a Corbett at like 165k next week so wouldn't have improved that much and get another week to look at him for instance

It's an option, but not something I would do personally. I just refuse to bring in rookies once they've gone up in price

Stocker and Keilty are the only two who could be on the bubble next week, and they don't look like good options at this stage

People might find themselves in a jam if they pass on this weeks options

Haven't ruled out that option, might also go early on a guy like McHenry if he gets named this week. Bottom line is I'll be doing everything in my power to get my two upgrades completed over the next fortnight.

I don't look at it that way, Atkins goes up by 20k, Corbett goes up by 40k, the difference is negligible.

If the premium you'd be bringing in this week goes up more than the rookie you wait a week on, you've ended up ahead in both points and cash. It's not as simple as you're making it...

Precisely & is why I won't delay bringing Fyfe into the team, looks like exploding at any point.

As for next week, Walsh likely to have a chunky BE & Lloyd will be the cheapest he's been all year. If I can get that trade done with 120k then it's a no brainer. Don't care about a few bob lost on a first pay rise either, it's more about keeping momentum up with upgrades.

Gut also says McHenry is right on the cusp, could even see him come in for Gallucci this week or next. Very confident he'll score well too.

And what premiums right now are going up more than rookies on their first price rise?

What do you do next week with no cash in the bank and no good rookie downgrade options?

Crows have won 3 in a row and McHenry just A) walks in, and B) scores well?

Wouldn't be putting all my eggs into that basket

As of right now, Stocker and Keilty are the only two bubble boys next week. Yuck

Certainly not putting all the eggs into one basket, Atkins down to Corbett/Larkey will also give me the cash to get Walsh to Lloyd. For me it's about maintaining advantage with an extra premo on-field for the next few weeks. Not overly concerned about the rookie situation either, will pick McHenry even without a sighter, so if he gets named in a fortnight I'll do the trade. Have seen enough of the kid at junior level to know he's a value bet, his DPP is also perfect so if dropped I can swing Drew to the mids. I realise all this sounds unconventional but given I'm well behind the eight ball I see no choice but to be ultra aggressive.

Wilkie to Answerth  and believe it or not, almost with some sort of confidence, and a large slice of insanity, Petruccelli to Toby Greene.
Reasons for Toby as stated in how many trades. I am scarily confident about this trade.

:D

[david17]

Butters to Hately
Scrimshaw to Lloyd

Hopefully Hately keeps his spot leaves me with 247k after those trades

Kelly and Whitfield both to return

Hately's chances would have to be very slim
