[Fenno]

Well looks like I will be making my first trade of the year with Coad gone for 12-14 weeks with his hammy

[Holz]

i have made 2 trades one a fantastic move another a huge fail

atley -> curnow :)
foley -> ward ( if i had gone foley to libba and kept the cash i could have gone broughton to toy and krak to chapman)

[chaosAD]

Have made 4 trades so far  ???, team is settled and am waiting for cash cows to fatten up.....looking at trading in chappy after his bye

At the moment my rookies are duigan, b.smith, coad  :'(, stanley, heppell, libba, curnow, swallow, z.smith,                     tippett(for dpp only), tapscott, darling, matera. Also got harris, otten and krak if u can call them rookies

Overall l'm pretty happy, l see my early trades as an investment,  but only time will tell if l've gone too hard too early

Gee u have some upgrades to make !

[chrisuzz]

1. Hibberd--->Cunrow

[Davoo]

have to use 1 or 2 this week! i have coad and brougton and its either:

1. coad > toy
or
2. coad > toy
    broughton >adcock

coads a must go. no reason to be sitting there for 3 months doing nothing. brougthon, i dunno, if i dont make this trade now then its gonna be never!

[Flame]

2 for me....none this week!!!

[Windigo]

Damn, I didn't know Coad would be gone for that long....

Won't trade him unless I have to at  this stage.

1. Hibberd--->Cunrow

+1 and happy with my team ;)

[Mish]

1 for me, i wont be making any trades this week either.

[hally25547]

it seems that many people have tried to save trades over this multibye period. I am trying to set my team up over these three bye weeks so that i can try and get some more wins in those rounds after the byes when everyone is upgrading. I have made one stupid/sideways trade but it was to avoid the donut. I have also had to take a punt and trade today as i am leaving any form of interent connection over easter - which means no loophole for me either  :-\. my trades are as follows and tell me what you think of them. i will also post my team up. I am about 7000th overall which is disappointing but i am mainly going for the league wins

Round 3:
Foley to Curnow
Hibberd to Liberatore

Round 4:
Montagna to Pendlebury (very sideways - no need to remind me)

Round 5:
Broughton to Toy
KrakWHORE to Didak

Current Team: $146 100
Goddard, Gibbs, Deledio, Grimes, Heppell, Duigan, Otten - Toy, Stanley, Lower
Swan, Pendlebury, Boyd, Bartel, Curnow, Liberatore - Prestia, Harris, Bewick
Sandilands, Cox - Smith, J Tippett(DPP link)
Franklin, Johnson, Riewoldt, Didak, Knights, Petrie, Darling - Tapscott, Richardson, Matera

Thoughts on my trades and trading strategy

[Windigo]

I'm looking to crack the top 1000 without using any trades....

of course that is the ideal situation but when you pick some players that underperform - Broughton, Foley then you have to make the decision of either riding them out or trading them and i did the later. I do envy you though  :P

[bundyboy]

3 so far - and all necessary imo...

foley > curnow
Hibberd > libba
broughton > suckling before both prices changed last week...(yes i know people will question that one !!)

so - similar strategy hally... possibly another trade or two in the next few weeks will set up team nicely whilst all cash cows mature...

Windingo...you are a genius if you are cracking top 1000 without trades so far !!  man you did your homework ! :)
