Round 2 Trades

[billnats]

Any midfielder 500K or below. Who do you go for?

[Bully]

Any midfielder 500K or below. Who do you go for?

Sloane or Taranto, think 105 is gettable for both.

[Ingram]

Any midfielder 500K or below. Who do you go for?

As mentioned Taranto is the value pick but I tell you for 510k McGrath is looking like a rocket to $600k most of his stats on the weekend were career high. He's also in the leadership group and is more than ready for it. Did I also mention that Zerret always gets tagged so McGrath is safe there (that could change though.)

Last year I started McGrath and he was only ok most weeks. He couldn't string tons together... Well not until I traded him out and each week he proved to me I made a mistake.

He's on my watch list along with H.Clarke, Zorko, Mills and Ridley.

Which 2 out of Harmes, Rowell, Danger should I trade out?

Think those with Rowell & Danger need to grab two prem keepers, you can correct the Harmes pick next week with the best BE candidate.

So with the 1.1 million I'd possibly look at Titch/Zorko, Dusty/Dunkley, Sidebottom/Dusty

That sucks mate, but Danger is back in 3 and the other two are cooked long term so I'd be trading them and just using Danger to loop

Maybe look at grabbing someone like Heppell and a prem defender for the pair

Not the greatest outcome, but probably the best scenario

If Sharp is omitted I'd go this route but Harmes can be dealt with next week. Surely you can't go 3 weeks with Danger on the bench?

Agree with Bully, $600k plus is too much to have on bench for 3 weeks. If it was me, Danger/Rowell to Titch and Dusty/Dunks or Boak/Zorko as PODs.

I can see both sides points of view. The way I see it is if you have pressing rookie corrections you need to make, then it might pay to keep Danger because you are going to end up making 4-5 trades by round 3.

That probably costs you 200 points, way too early to be giving up such ground.

Fact is most people have at least 1 injury trade so not too far behind the eight ball where that's concerned.

Here's another suggestion -

Rowell to Z.Williams via Sharp (pocket 50k)
Danger to Dusty/Zorko/Dunkley (pocket 50 -80k)

Next week, Harmes to Taranto/Sloane/McGrath/Heeney

Think that limits the damage in terms of getting the mid pricer off the park. 

[Ringo]

Probably agree with Bully here.  Just a query how are your rookies eg do you have say Rowe, Gulden or Jordon that will also require correction before price rises,

[SilverLion]

Cheers for the input guys.

This is my team atm.

I'm leaning towards Harmes/Rowell to H Young/D Martin, and keeping Danger for looping.

Other options I've looked at are Harmes/Rowell to Mills/Ziebell or Titch/La Young.

If I trade Danger, I'm forced to field Kosi/Highmore to cover for Harmes. If I keep Danger, I can play Rowe or Scott, who I'm probably more comfortable with.

It leaves me with about 30k in the bank, which I could use to go Daniher to Ziebell next week if I wanted.

Thoughts?

[RaisyDaisy]

I can see the merit with Bully and co's suggestion for sure, but the reason I went the other way was because I knew by holding Harmes you'd likely need to field a def rookie, and that's not something I'd want to do

I also didn't know you didn't have JZ - I just assumed everyone had him

Rowell out, Danger to mids and JZ in - this allows you to use Danger to loop M8 each week too and brings Rowe on field up front

Harmes up to premo def of your choice

I get the argument that having 600k on the bench is costing you points, but I'd argue that having to field a def rookie (holding Harmes) and possibly fielding the wrong mid rookies each week (no loophole option) is going to balance it all out anyway, but at least this way you still have Danger in 3 weeks, who might even be a POD

And in a couple of weeks time you can use the surplus cash made from the above 2 trades to turn Zac Bailey into a proper prem too :P

I thought having two missing was bad, 3 though is just extremely unlucky. I'd probably do  Danger to Dunks/Dusty and Rowell to a defender premo (via switching Clark and just field Highmore) or a premo mid. Then next week you can go Harmes to young if he does well again or move him onto Ziebell (via switching ddp players) and get in Jordan.

[Samsturmfels]

I cant decide what im doing with my trades with Rowell and Danger aswell. Here are a few things im considering:
1: Picking two of Ridley, Walsh and Dusty
2: to Taranto and Titch

If i go with option one i cant decide which two to pick. i see Ridley being a handy pick up giving my team more flexibility. Walsh has a higher potential value and average than Dusty, although if Dusty continues to dominate it will hurt my overall rank.
