Who to trade into the midfield

Mojo Helper · May 25, 2011, 08:55:57 PM

With the byes going into finals I am looking for the best midfielder to trade in next week, who's the best option?
Have Swan, Boyd and Montagna as my premium mids, and have Pav, O'Keefe and Fyfe in the forward line as mid mpp's.

Thinking of:
Chapman (has bye in finals though)
Pendlebury (bye in round 13 but no byes for the rest of the year, and have Swan so Rnd 13 will have 2 premiums out)
Ablett (no more byes this season but could be inconsistent with GC being such a bad team)
Mundy (no more byes, I'm not going for overall, just league)
Watson (should I be worried about his injury?)
Thompson
Selwood (bye in finals, like Chappy)

All good options except for Watson. He's injured and will miss the Grand Final should you make it. The Geelong duo of Chappy and Selwood is a good safe option, but if you want more of a unique go with Thompson.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards Selwood but he's the highest priced there, gonna make the trade next week so may see how this week goes for them all

You will kick yourself if you wait for Selwood after he tears GC apart.

mundy

Mundy, very unique & dominating. Also Freo have a bye with 2 other teams, so no league games, same with Thompson.

From those 6 players I've traded in 3 in the past month! And I've always had Pendles!

So far, Chappy has been dissapointing with 76 (c) 80-odd and 110.
Selwood smacked a 124 in his debut for me and is captain this week.
Pendles has been great all year, especially ANZAC Day (Pissed off about it, too!)
Ablett is a new face, jumping on his price!

In order of importance, Selwood, Ablett, Chapman (PRICE) and Pendles.

Selwood's got a BE of 109 so he won't go up much in value, just worried about the bye in finals time. Can't afford Selwood this week anyway unless I trade out another premium, don't want to do that. But have 14 trades left (12 after I bring in Jacobs and Lynch this week to make some cash) so it leaves me a fair few come finals time, not planning to do much trading in the next few weeks

We are all forgetting about one player.. priddis, hasn't gone under 100 this year. take that into consideration..

Mojo Helper · May 25, 2011, 10:09:13 PM

Priddis has scored 93, 85, 75, 99, 86 in DT, only 3 scores above 100 and highest 132, others just scraping over 100.
Thanks Jukes, would like to jump on Ablett this week but have cash flow problems, waiting on some rooks to go up in price (Richardson, Prestia, Toy and Otten are all just sitting around doing nothing right now)

Selwood and Thompson should both thrash it this week, and ablett has a 50/50 chance imo of a huge score.

Ouch with the rookies, thankfully I didn't start with otten (although I probably would have dropped him by now if I had), and I bit the bullet and sacrificed richardson for being a douchebag in a douchebag team.

Unfortunately, I'm still holding onto Prestia... I wish I knew what was going on with him...

Chappy, too good, cheap enough, legend, nuff said

yorgis · May 26, 2011, 12:51:17 PM

luv mundy. rich may be a chance to play this week, got 34 odd possessions last week in resi's

BillMurray · May 26, 2011, 01:22:42 PM

Wouldn't be too sure on Thompson killing it this week; pretty sure from memory the lions are his worst team to play in DT... :-\

thanme · May 26, 2011, 01:46:58 PM

The Lions sans Rockliff though?
