Arbel's Aced 2025

[Colliwobblers]

Waited until the last minute but traded out Camporeale over Tsatas.

[Mat0369]

You could give those guys all one more week before pulling the trigger

[arbel]

Ended up doing the following as trades

Paton to O'Sullivan
JHF to Rankine
Tsatas to Ashcroft

Paton to O'Sullivan speaks for itself. I couldn't justify keeping JHF and so far the move is justified. He did score 82 last night but that was only off a good last qtr, so if his mid time picks up later I can get him when he's cheap. I traded Tsatas over Camporeale as Tsatas is guarenteed out for 2 weeks min with the bye. Camporeale could get a recall next week if injuries or sub par performances. Have brought in Ashcroft for him for now but am thinking could go Henderson for the cash grab.

Means also keeping Sanders but his BE isn't that out of control yet. Day likely to cop a tag again but have to wear that one. Short underperforming as well but will have to hold for the time being. Next week can do one of Leake/Trainor to Bice and Camporeale/O'Sullivan to Moraes

[Mat0369]

The trades all make sense. I think I'd still go with Ashcroft, although the extra cash could come in handy

I did go with Ashcroft. Still leaves me with touch over 200k so have good money leftover

Slowly improving but still not great. Lots of underperforming 'premos' in neale, sheezel, short not doing great either, Callaghan coping a tag. All my players seem to cop tags and its hurting.

This week think Camporeale if not named will go for Moraes, Lalor or O'Sullivan could be Clohesy. Bice will come in but depends on whether for Leake or Paton. See who is named. Knevitt and Hewett being the subs aren't good signs. All this before even trying to fix my leaks in my top players so yeah not sure where to start.

[Colliwobblers]

It's hard not to grab Sinclair with the cash in the bank. I wanted to this week but he'll have to wait. 160 with a C on it just blows those of us who don't have him out of the water.

Rookie trade suggestions are sound.

[Mat0369]

I don't think Campo will come back in, the VFL team had a bye which doesn't help. I thought he was stiff to be dropped but our match committee are all over the shop.

Bice for Leake I would lock and load.

If Lindsay is out for a month+ I'd probably ship him out for Moraes.

You have a lot of cash in the bank and I tend to agree with Colliwobblers that it's tempting to get Sinclair in now.

Well I think team selections this week force my hand a bit. With all the outs think I'm forced into trades. I was hoping to fix my defence but that's on hold. Bice is a must in and think Moraes is as well so that means will do

Camporeale to Moraes (already done with blues playing tonight)
Leake to Bice

They are the obvious ones. Then it'll be one of Knevitt to possibly Langford, or Clohesy for the cash grab.
Hewett to possibly Hamling the other choice? No one else really pushing on the forward line.
Have to carry one of them this week. Means keeping Lindsay too.

Really leaning on Hewett to Hamling. Seems to have JS and a decent role. Plus no other FWD's really to go if I leave Hewett to week after. Then could go Knevitt following week if not named to Tsatas if back of possibly Hall from WCE if he is picked and has another good game. Hopefully Lindsay isn't too bad and back in a week or 2

There will be options next week, Knevitt to Tsatas something I will consider as well. Could go early on Matt Whitlock if he does ok, Clay Hall another but probably shaky job security.

I made the same trades except Paton instead of Leake.

Langford could be a really handy one for the next couple of weeks with Lindsay on the sideline. He looked okay from what I watched and is huge for a mid. I've contemplated this but when Lindsay is back in a couple of weeks I don't know if it sticks, he seemed like the preferred choice. 

I like the idea of Hamling as well, seems like he has a spot in the side. The scoring will likely continue on a downward trend, so I'd be okay holding off. Erasmus is another one that has a really good BE but is a really high sub risk.
