Which double trade? This is an 11th hour doozy

Generalsor · April 08, 2011, 06:49:53 PM

Ok Long and short is this:

Option 1: Franklin>>Dawes + Everitt>>Gibbs
Option 2: JPK>>Libba/Curnow + Everitt>>Gibbs

Now hear me out. Option 2 is what i'm leaning towards - but it will leave me with 6 rookies in the midfield. Thats a lot of rookies.

Option 1 is attractive because if Buddy doesn't play this week i have noone to cover him. Plus Dawes looks set to dominate this year and should be a keeper. Plus i have Cyril waiting in the wings, who in DT terms is probably Hawthorns best FWD option this year. But it also means i would have to put faith in JPK to lift his game in a big way...

Please help me choose, with reasoning attached where possible ;)

Franklin is a keeper as well....

The 2nd one. Insane to out Buddy IMO.

ridiculous, is everyone really dumb enough to jump off franklin so quickly :P

Master Q · April 08, 2011, 06:54:37 PM

Second any day of the week.

I'm not too blind to question whats good for my team - especially when dejavu denials from Clarko send the alarm bells ringing. But it probably is a bit reactive of me

Windigo · April 08, 2011, 06:59:37 PM

Is there some other way to get your desired outcome. As in Getr In Gibbs?

I'm here to help, not to criticize. :)

Generalsor · April 08, 2011, 07:17:50 PM

thoughts?

Ziplock · April 08, 2011, 07:23:48 PM

2nd. for sure.

Option 2. Only thing about this trade is knowing Libba & Curnows JS, JPK should continue to get games with Sydney, but you never know about the Rooks.

Just my two cents

Windigo · April 08, 2011, 07:28:01 PM

Sorry for the delay (Was eating a banana ice-cream ;))

Right:

I see Knights and you have Rioli on the pine.

Hm, Would it be worth downgrading Knights to Tapscott.

Then your FWD's would look like this:

Goodes, N. Riewoldt, Franklin, Krakeour, Rioli, Petrie & Tapscott

Knights is $ 221, 900 down to Tappy $ 97,600

So that's $ 124,300 change.

Then, Andre $ 281,700 to Gibbs.

That would leave about $ 6,000 bucks left over.

Also, an alternative would be to get rid of Petrie to Tappy. But I see you have link with Tippet to your ruck, if your not to concerned about it..... But you would need like 30K+ in your bank to do the Petrie trade though...

SO.....

Generalsor · April 08, 2011, 07:31:00 PM

Argh the possibilities...

Generalsor · April 08, 2011, 07:36:51 PM

Ok so...

Knights to Tappy would be the only choice as i have hardly any cash...

The question that decides the issue is this: Do you think that JPK can average 90 minimum for the year? Thats what he was brought into the team for. Or is he just not that guy??
