Round 16 trades

[js19]

If Gawn is right think I'll bite the bullet & bring in Whitfield, leaves only 1 trade left but a complete team & solid cover. Don't see any point in playing safe, aim is to finish as high as possible & to do that I'll need to take risks.

G'day Bully. Whitfield has a break even of 154 so if you need a little cash to go with that last trade ?  Cheers mate.

Last time Whitfield returned from injury he scored 170...

I'd just wait a week (at least) with Whitfield's high BE (assuming he is actually named)

The fact the trade is dependent on the outcome of an injury that popped up out of nowhere last week is a timely reminder that we should be prepared for anything next week...

Agree ... for me if Gawn misses then i do need to bring in a ruck (NicNat, ROB or Lycett) this week or cop a donut
if Whitfield named then duursma => Whitfield
That leaves me with 5 trades less one to bring Gawn back in (possibly)
if Gawn plays, no trades this week and wait on Whitfield

I could wait of course, cash may be important in the run home but with only 1 trade remaining not so critical. Just looking at my defence I will need to make this trade at some stage anyway & Whitfield becomes a genuine POD, at least over the next few weeks. The final trade will be for a long term injury or for ruck cover. Risky this far out but time to throw a bit of caution to the wind.

I'm prioritising points over $$ at this stage, did it last week with Hurn & not afraid of doing it this week with Whitfield. If he knocks out a 140 & Logue bombs then it becomes a good move.

If Gawn doesn't get up it may have to be Daniel to Lycett

[crowls]

def   lloyd, zac williams, tom stewart, crisp, duursma, logue - gardner, naish
mid  fyfe, neale, oliver, sloane, merrett, cripps, cunnington, bcrouch - brayshaw, clarke, bewley
ruc grundy, gawn - bines

fwd boak, dunkley, danger, marshall, worpel, parish - young setterfield


5 trades 63,400 cash
used hore to get sloane last week and should have got kelly/heeney.
Anyway now have no m/f cover or m/d cover.
Possibly need gawn cover.


Option 1.
Brayshaw > Roughhead F/R  cover Gawn and loophole rest of year
Duursma>Weller d/m  for d5. 
53000 cash.  3 trades left.  no way to get whitfield/hurn


option 2 gawn plays
brayshaw>heeney
setterfield>hayden
236K cash  3 trades left
following week duursma>whitfield/hurn


leaves 2 trades approx 40-50k cash   with loophole of worpel/parish/heeney for m8/f6


like option 2 much better,  thoughts?

Yeah I’d likely be more supportive of the move if Logue hadn’t proved he’s capable of scoring 100. He’s had one bad score anyway and it was still better than what Luke Ryan put up. It’s not like anyone is rushing to get Ryan off field now are they?

They might be rushing to get a guy who's averaged 43 before this season off though :P

[tkringle]

Duursma to Hartlett my only trade this week I think

Many stars averaged under 50 in their first year.. Neale, Hurn etc. How does that have relevance when judging Logue now?

[dmac07]

Def - Hurn, Lloyd, Z.Williams, Rich, Sicily, Logue (Rotham, Naish)
Mid - Cripps, Neale, Fyfe, Macrae, Cunnington, Oliver, Sloane, M.Crouch (D.Clarke, O.Baker, B.Bewely)
Ruck - Grundy, Gawn (Bines)
Fwd - Boak, Dangerfield, T.Kelly, Daniel, Heeney, Je.Cameron (Dy.Moore, Young)

9 trades, 150k in the bank.

I'm thinking I'll hold Danger and Cripps even if they miss this week, unless we hear something that nakes me think it's longer term.

Daniel is gone.

Daniel to Dunkley - best forward I'm missing
Daniel to Lycett - Good recent form, cover for ruck (especially if Gawn is out this week).
Daniel to ?? Any other options? Marshall, Walters, Mundy + 250k?

Plan will be to downgrade one of Moore/Clarke/Baker/Bewely and upgrade Logue to Whitfield in 2 weeks, otherwise team is finished. Keeping a few dollars in the kitty could be handy to male sure I can get Whitfield in one up one down.

Not so sure...

If you have a few trades up your sleeve Lycett for sure.

If Gawn is out then Lycett is 100% your guy if you have the trades.

The problem would be if he is a late out and you have Lycett in the forward line.  I have fwd cover in Parker but if Gawn is listed to play, I would have Lycett in replacing Daniel with Parker on the bench.

Yep, this is the issue.

Gawn will be 100% named tongiht IMO and be given right up until the last minute to prove he is right to go. Will leave us all in the lurch.

To avoid a donut you would have to have Lycett on the bench covering Gawn and if Gawn plays, you're left with an expensive bench cover.
