Quote from: Bully on April 22, 2024, 09:51:26 AMComben has already made 70k and can be replaced by any player via DPP, if he was flipped next week it would hardly be noticed, low ball risk in anyone's language. The only disappointment was the coach sending him forward, can't see that happening every week.

Closer to 60 than 70 and made similar cash to someone like Lohmann who was cheaper and has a BE of like 4 this week. The initial price was was nice, but Lohmann looks like the better pick of the two at the moment.

Quote from: Bully on April 22, 2024, 02:50:04 PMI think Williams is a good chance to play and that's courtesy of the ABC commentary, I'd be more concerned about D'Ambrosio, being subbed out not a good sign.

To be honest, they both probably need to go. Getting the vest isn't a good sign for future JS and Williams has had achillies issues in the past. With his price and BE he may be worth dumping now

The big difference is Comben is now a defender, ideally you want him on the bench but I'd rather field him over Howes, Draper or Brown. I don't think he gets dropped either, I think Biggie will be the first casualty and I also think Sellers will be dropped for another forward. Way too early to write Comben off, I picked him as a medium to long term player, the swing set with Sexton could also be handy for coverage and looping.

Walsh would be great, but there's a bunch as good still on the way down in price.

I'd double downgrade. No boost.

Coffield to H Garcia, Williams/D'Ambrosio/Sharp to your favored other rookie.

Upgrade downgrade next week. Dempsey probably cooked next week so one of the above and him possibly.

Even if you have to trade Williams your covered in defense by Roberts and Graham with trading Coffield.

Ringo · April 23, 2024, 09:11:26 AM

With reports Reid may be available as well will wait on teams as happy to leave Coffield as D8 and then build cash by downgrading Sharp and Dempsey. However if Williams does not get up he will be traded as BE is getting up there. If Reid does not get up then no option but to trade Coffield as both Graham and Roberts currently in mids,

One trade to McAulliffe if named early pending other team announcements.

Another Radical idea is trade Stewart and then trade Massimo Williams to him when he bottoms at. B/E is 137 so probably drop another 30k.

Following Matts Lead B/E
Clark75
Sharp 72
Dempsey 66
Williams 62
Fyfe 58
Ambrosio 45
Darcy 32
Wilson 5
Lohmann 4

Bully · April 23, 2024, 11:05:06 AM

I think for 30k it isn't worth trading Stewart, I would only do that if he was 630k and set for a tumble. My experience with Stewart in these circumstances is that he's just as likely to pull off a 170 and make a fool of those who tried to extract every last penny. If I didn't own him I wouldn't hesitate to pay 538k, that's a bargain for a top 6 defender.

Ringo · April 23, 2024, 11:43:20 AM

After looking at possibilities here are at what I consider optionsOption 1 If Reid does not play
Coffield to Hugo Garcia (Needed for Stewart Cover)
Sharp to McAuliffe
Dempsey to Adams/Zorko

Option 2 If Reid and Williams play
Sharp to McAuliffe
Dempsey to Garcia
Clark to Walsh/Bolton/Zorko/Adams

Option 3 If Reid Plays and Williams out
Sharp to McAuliffe
Dempsey to Garcia
Williams to Merrett/Rowell

Option 4 If Both Reid and Williams out
Coffield to McAuliffe
Sharp to Garcia
Williams to Zorko/Bolton/Adams

Option 5
Stewart to Houston
Sharp to Garcia
Dempsey to Adams
If Williams also out will be either Williams to Adams/Bailey Dale.

Option 2 would be great but we wait on teams.

Could possibly also consider Burgoyne in trades as well

arbel · April 23, 2024, 12:01:13 PM

Option 2 is the optimal one. My worry with Macauliffe is how much of a run does he get? He is really only in the team while injuries are there and fear he'll be dropped as soon as fit players are back? Don't know what his ceiling is like. But if that is the only way it works for coverage etc then not much else choice.

Mat0369 · April 24, 2024, 01:24:38 AM

Well he is out which makes it tricky. Teams won't be released for the Friday/Saturday/Sunday games until after the second game of the round. I think Stewart needs to be held with him only missing the one game. Williams is a test but I think there is more risk than reward in holding him. Coffield, Williams and Sharp are the three I'd look at moving for Garcia, Burgoyne and the best player you can afford.

Ringo · April 24, 2024, 08:40:27 AM

Yea with McAuliffe not selected total rethink today,

Coffield to Garcia and then wait on Williams.

So 2 Options now
If Williams plays
Coffield to Garcia
Dempsey to Nyuon
Sharp to Adams
Cash left $108k

If Williams out
Coffield to Garcia
Sharp to Nyuon
Williams to Blakey
Blakey a nice POD who is slipping under the radar,

Bully · April 24, 2024, 11:05:23 AM

Have you considered Naismith? Might be a week early but Nyuon looked ordinary, I'm not so sure he lasts the distance.

arbel · April 24, 2024, 12:35:10 PM

I like the first of those options. Adams I think will be better overall

Mat0369 · April 24, 2024, 01:26:30 PM

I don't like Nyuon as an option and I would try to avoid him. I'd be inclined to go Naismith early and look at the Dogs Garcia next week as a downgrade option. BlaKey is a nice pod, but I think you probably need another mid or forward for structure.

Ringo · April 24, 2024, 02:56:18 PM

I admit I am dumb did not think I could get Naismith due to R only. However mean I will have Livingstone and Mannagh as deadwood on forwrad bench but Mannagh has DPP and can use Livingstone later when Naismith has made enough.
Not a lot of Mids I like under $560k - Relist Dawson, Bolton, Zorko, Caldwell, Adams and Macrae wpuld be options if I opt for mid.

The way Richmond are structuring up I would hazard a guess that Naismith will eventually get DPP, moving Livingstone won't be an issue, just need to get through the next few weeks.

Ringo · April 25, 2024, 10:01:25 AM

Got home to late to do the Naismith trade so think I will settle on these 2

Dempsey to Garcia
Coffield to Burgoyne

If Williams out will do Williams to Burgoyne,

With Sweet also in the frame you at least get to make a better informed decision next week, I'll almost certainly be picking one of the rucks on offer.
