Time to trade or not?

[enzedder]

Have only made the one trade to date...Curnow in for Anthony so have nearly $300k in the bank to spend...trouble is my rookies are all doing okay (except Buckley but i'm prepared to a patient with him) and haven't reached their peak.

Goddard, Deledio, Gibbs, Newman, Broughton, Duigan, Otten (Lower, Toy, Buckley)
Swan, Montagna, Cross, Curnow, Swallow, Heppell (Harris, Atley, Conca)
Sandilands, Petrie (Z Smith, McCauley)
N Riewoldt, Franklin, Pavlich, Goodes, Zaharakis, Tapscott, Krakouer (Darling, Richardson, Matera)

Plenty of options...but can argue against most because I haven't got the most out of who I could trade out...
Petrie > Cox
Conca > Fyfe
Zaha > J Riewoldt or Didak... though Zaha has done alright (113, 43, 105, 96), bought as a unique who could explode in 2011...jury still out?
Krakouer to ?...though perhaps best to wait till Collingwood's bye and give him some more time to earn.

My current thinking is to wait and see what unfolds.
Thoughts?

cross might be out this week with the flu...

also i would trade krak for josh hill from bulldogs
he has an average of 108 and is simply sitting on the back flank and getting hepas of touches
him or chris yarran

if you are willing to make a huge risk with rookies i would trade cross for liba
liba looks the goods and has gone up 80,000 and has averaged 21 touches and 6 tackles a game his b/e is -76 so if he scores 100 he goes up another 80-90k if you wait he will be 400k and could swap him with a premium
and then i would swap heppell and goddard or gibbs around so you have a stronger midfield

Cross is a premium and I won't be trading him out because he has a cold...he might play yet anyway.
I decided not to get Liberatore before his price rise so wont now...Cross is better and I've got enough rookies in the middle anyway...Swallow, Harris, Curnow, Atley, Conca, Heppell/Buckley
Thanks anyway

Enzedder you can probs sit for this week. If you want to trade petrie for cox you should wait till next week. My siggestion would be to upgrade krak to chappy/rioli in rd 7. Your fwds would be fairly strong with that trade, and allow you to focus on upgrading other areas in the coming weeks. A very solid team.

Thanks for that Billy.
Think I will sit this week...sound advice and was thinking that way, appreciate your thoughts.
I wanted Chapman in my original line up and if the cards fall right Krakouer to Chappy is one trade.
Presently $18k short...Chapman's BE this week is 140 and Krakouer's is 26.

Sandilands, Petrie (Z Smith, McCauley)
N Riewoldt, Franklin, Pavlich, Goodes, Zaharakis, Tapscott, Krakouer (Darling, Richardson, Matera)

Team remains as it was in the original post. Still the 1 trade done...Curnow in, Anthony out
Still $10 k short to get Chappy for Krakouer and Geelong have the bye anyway so I could sit and see if Krak gets a gig and scores more than his 26 BE to make up the difference and do this trade for Week 7....or...

Do a double trade this week...
Broughton out for Adcock (Broughton has the bye/ Adcock has already had one bye....similarly priced...Adcock 14K cheaper)
&
Krakouer out for J Riewoldt

These trades would still leave me with $188K in the bank
Thoughts appreciated...got a couple of tough games this week.

On the injury list broughton is on indefinite if that helps

Cheers mate...think I'll do it. I've only done the one trade and whilst I'm not unhappy about Broughton's pts Adcock is tearing it up.

[JimMundy93]

Seems like a solid trade
Adcock is a man possesed I traded him in this week and upgrading krak to jroo is a big improvement
