Trade: Hastie to Levi Ashcroft



Good: Zorko, Holmes, Roberts, Neale, Merrett, Oliver, O'Driscoll, Xerri, Macrae, Daniel
Average: Sheezel. Serong, Ashcroft, Tsatas, Powell Pepper, Davidson
Bad: Horne- Francis, Gawn, Hewett,Camporale, Knevett. O'Sullivan
Ugly: Reid, Trainor, Lalor, Read, Kako

Nice comeback by Neale and Merrett which confirms the principle do not trade Premiums on one bad game.

What to do this week and think basically rookie correction trades as do not have cash to upgrade leaky defence,

Possible trades pending teams
Lalor to Henderson
Finn O'Sullivan to Lindsay
Paton to Connor O'Sullivan
Should leave me cash 151k

Bice to come in next week for possibly Reid,

JHF the only concern and with 2 below average scores.  Eye on Rankine.

[arbel]

O'Sullivan has just quietly gone about his work. Think he comes into my team as well and Bice has to come in next week for sure.

[Mat0369]

Bice is a must have rookie and is a perfect trade in candidate post bye. I'm unsure on O'Sullivan, he scored a 50 off 11 touches and and a 90 off 15. As a young KPD he is more likely to put up a 50 each week and I don't know if he is worth burning the trade if we're bringing in Bice next week

[Ringo]

I am comfortable with a d5/d6 of O'Sullivan and Bice with Trainor and Leake/Reid at D7/8 for the next couple of rounds. Torn on it as Paton starred in VFL so will he get a recall. Wish I had that Chrystall Ball.

I think with the lack of defensive rookies is best to get the best money makers in. With that 88 in his scoring cycle will get good cash gen and think his JS is quite good.

[Mat0369]

Move Tsatas instead of Paton, swing Kako into the mids and do it that way. Easy hold

[Ringo]

With Camporale omitted think I will trade him rather than Lalor.  Keep lalor for a week.

Trades done

Paton to Connor O'Sullivan (do not think Paton comes back in for a while)
Fin O'Sullivan to Lindsay
Camporale to Henderson

Happy with Reid, Trainor, Bice and O'Sullivan D5 - D8. Eye on El Hawii who looked good

Trade now:
Paton to Connor O'Sullivan (do not think Paton comes back in for a while)
Fin O'Sullivan to Lindsay
Camporale to Henderson

Happy with Reid, Trainor, Bice and O'Sullivan D5 - D8. Eye on El Hawii who looked good and Travaglia who debuts hoping not sub though.  Should be a rule about debutants not being sub. Reid redeemed himself with 88. Set him up as emergency so Roberts comes onto field to take that score just in case Leake a late in.

Next weeks trades
Leake to Bice certain.
?? to Moraes (Lalor, SPP or Hewett possibilities)

Keeping Tsatas appears to be right move going by Scotts comments last night,

JHF continues to worry so do I use a third boost or hold another week. Came good in last quarter last night but really looked shocking in first half.

Horne-Francis would be a hold at 500k, I think he will drop some more but not by much, maybe he slides to 450k. Unless you plan on grabbing a top tier mid I would sit on JHF for now.

[Colliwobblers]

Yeah gonna be a rude month or so owning JHF until they get some fwds back. He's goona be mostly fwd only.

[arbel]

Some pretty decent trades there. JHF is a worry to me. I pulled the trigger, he's going to drop money so I will pick him back up once he gets back to more mid time

[Ringo]

Gawn is more a worry now than JHF for me.

Rd 3 Team



Really behind the eight ball with both Hewett and Knevitt named as subs
Good: Zorko, Holmes, Trainor, Merrett, Serong, O'Driscoll, Macrae, Daniel, Davidson,
Average: Reed, O'Sullivan, Sheezel, Gawn, Xerri, Smith, Horne-Francis. Kako
Bad: Neale, Oliver,
Ugly: L Ashcroft, Lindsay, Henderson, Lalor, Knevitt, Hewett, Powell Pepper, Stone

Dodged a bullet taking Macrae's VC score over Xerri. 120/125 are my difficult ones for VC.

2 trades
Leake to Bice
one of Powell Pepper, Stone or Hewett to Moraes

Sheezel and JHF a worry
Thinking maybe Sheezel to Sinclair as a trade. 
or one of the 2 not used in Moraes trade to Humphrey/Maric
or do I move JHF

Big decision as last week before we revert to best 22,
