Another Option I am considering just the one trade Cripps to Butters via Dusty to mids. After reading Cripps articles.
Insufficient to go Dow/Daniher to Tex so may suck it up.

[Colliwobblers]

Bonts a SC scorer, won't ever do as much as macrae or dunkley  but does what he does mostly right and mostly when it matters enter the mystery SC boosts :)

I've settled "almost" on cripps to tex. along with my rookie correction you did last round.

I guess the question is, is a trade to get neale out to save money lost going to net you better scoring than a trade to get tex in to make similar or more money than you'll lose on neale (probably then regain anyway?) if that makes sense

Be tempting to do both as Matt suggests but the Neale one is sideways if he bounces back and we shouldnt sideways.. but we do :)

Adelaides got Suns (at home) , North , Freo (at home) , Hawks , GWS (at home) . That's about as good a run as it gets...

Butters is a brave trade, so young... possibly the right one but brave. he's got to be a keeper season long.

Why not Cripps to Tex instead?

[Ringo]

So basically looks have a couple of options

1. Cripps to Tex Walker leaving $226k for upgrades or a second rookie trade maybe.

2. Neale to Dunkley, Dow to Walker  leaving 67k

3. Neale to Dunkley, Cripps to Macrae leaving 36K

Decisions, Decisions. Leaning slightly to just Cripps to Walker.

I'm also thinking of Cripps to Walker, by moving Campbell to mids.

gives me a bank balance of $226,800 going forward. Otherwise i only have $1,300 in the bank.

mids look like:
Steele, Oliver, Petracca, Bontempelli, Campbell, Jordon, Berry, Gulden (Brockman, McNeil, Scott)
Fwds:
Dunkley, Martin, DeGoey, Walker, Ziebell, Warner (Daniher, Rowe)

I always play by the rule of putting my highest averages on the field which is why Daniher currently occupies a bench spot and Warner is on field.

I like option 2. You have a nice chunk of change, get a guy that's a keeper and an improved cash cow over Dow. Worst case scenario Tex flops and you've still made 100k and can use the spare 67k to turn him into a premium.

[Ringo]

Also thinking of just sitting as I have all the cash making rookies to upgrade in due course and save some trades after doing 2 last week.

[Ringo]

No trades for Rd 3

Current Team



So the big issues I have are Neale do I ride him out as I think he will still be a top 10 mid and save a trade.  Can Trade to Dunkley and increase cash by $70k.
Rookie Issues - Kosi, Brockman, Fullarton, Sharp, Rowe. Dow and Clark.

Thinking of 1 trade as Kosi did not make enough to do straight to Chapman so Dow to Chapman via DPP. Then maybe Fullarton if not named to Waterman. Rowe has JS so he can slow burn. 

Any other suggestions.

[Colliwobblers]

Solid round mate, similar to mine and in rank and we headed in different directions this week. Well done backing Cripps in.

When you look at it Oliver isn't going to be far behind neale in bleeding cash .... He copped the hard tag this week and he's going to cop it again next week and he doesn't handle it well either. Both premiums I'd hold on both.

Dow has to go! that's your issue #1.

What's killing us is the 20-30 points scores on field each week, ones going to be defense and seem to cop one across mid/fwd line each week

I'd be Dow to waterman or Robertson - Didn't watch waterman but Robertson looked very good. You probably know more about him than most of us.

and any one of the 3 rookie defenders (least likely to play regularly) to chapman.

Only other options down back which you could afford if you go waterman are..

L Parks (either way), or any of idun, cox, butts, but they're all pretty expensive.  Still Have to get those low scorers OFF the park.

Idun was solid this week looked very good behind the ball could have an impact and score well but $214..... may be too much same for cox and butts and burgess for that matter all around the $200k

[Mat0369]

Dow to Chapman using Brockman/Sharp is move number 1. Highmore should come back this week after the Saints performance (I feel he may have been out due to team balance and it was a mistake looking at the way Stringer played), Kosi will probably get dropped for O'Brien and it gives you some cash gen down back.

I'd still be inclined to make the Neale to Dunkley trade although I feel the time to do it was last week. It's highly likely they end up even in terms of dollars at the end of this round.

Use next week to cull the other dud rookies and then start your upgrades with your mini war chest the following week.

Rd 4 Trade Just Dow to Chapman - Should have bit the bullet on Neal but have to hold now.
Surprised average score so high with the carnage.

Rd 4 Team



Will be waiting on teams but one trade will be Waterman in but not sure who goes out of Kosi, Jordon or Fullarton.  Jordon gives most cash generation. Thought about Campbell but he has the JS which other do not so he survives a bit longer.

2nd trade Regardless of Tribunal is Daniels to ?  Thinking Houston, Short, Bowes  or a cash grab (although only 77k) with Jiath. (Will he keep it up as he looks to be improving each week) 

[Mat0369]

Jordon is probably close to topped out and could get dropped. Fullarton is also struggling but I think you need to bank as much cash as possible in the Waterman trade. Campbell will likely bleed money this week but I imagine the BE is manageable after the 29 comes out. I'd probably lean towards Jordon since he has stalled and could play VFL this week.

[Colliwobblers]

I'd up Daniels to any of the three defenders you mentioned - jiath only if he's a keeper.
might be a better move to go early on jones instead from Daniel if it's cash you need.

Agree on Jordon out of those but I needed Campbells $$ for the ridler, so he got the chop for me.

If clarke gets dropped (unlikley) i'd be daniels to chapman and clarke to jones and a week late on waterman too ... sigh.

Clarke might not be scoring well but he's holding down a spot for us with no cover! :)

[Ringo]

One of these days will get my benchs right had Jordon as emergency over Berry.

Not sure on trades at all this week Ridley will have to go to pine unless injury is more serious, Swans rookies are slowing down so their cash generation is stagnating.  With the AFL removing Thursday night fixtures can hold trades toll Saturday to sort,

At the moment for cash gain thinking one of Gulden or Warner to a rookie  and then Clark to Ryan based on this quote:
Fremantle: "That was one of the bonuses out of the team we picked today, Griff (Logue) was able to come in.. And that just allowed us to free Luke (Ryan) up to play Luke's normal role"
Could go Rich instead around same price.  (Was in my thinking in the Daniel trade and should have stayed with it but tried to put my Lions Bias aside)
Other Option to consider Warner to Jachlan Jones moving Laird to mids and then Clark as above.  May prefer this as it gives another week to look at Macrae.
Another option is 1 trade Clarke to Aliir but that is a risk with Bowes as well.  Is Aliir good enough to hold D6.

Probably change mind 100 times between now and Saturday

[Colliwobblers]

Good result considering the weeks carnage. Ridley had a "face" that became concussion hoping for a week only,
31 points from 3 seconds onfield not too bad :D

Bowes doesn't tackle. AT ALL. I got on, don't think he's supposed to but man was he frustrating to watch....

Think he'll be just fine doing what he does do, bulldogs is about as bad as is it's going to get for oppo...

Good job holding daniher I wish i had, and good job C on gawn, was some tempting VC options.

I'd back rich over aliir , he's in mundy form. ;)
