Cya swannie

[elephants]

Almost sold on these trades. They will complete my team and leave me with 7-8 trades..

Round 12
Swannie -> Gazza Ablett
Bewick -> Pendles

Round 14
Stanley -> Scotland
Lower -> Shaw
I'll throw in a quick downgrade in round 13 if my 500k worth of fundage isn't enough.

Thoughts? This will leave me with a team full of premiums?
(knights, Petrie, Heppell are classed as premiums. Is that okay?)
Cheers, big ears.

Trading out Swan is a stupid idea just cause he will miss one game??

[Weagle]

Can't agree with trading out Swan, but it's your team I suppose :P

The time to trade out Swan would have been a fair few months ago (and that would've been very risky). Probably not worth it now because you'd think he'll bring back his good form after his trip. I'd like to just wait the two weeks with him on the bench. Unless you're still high enough to chase the car and have lots of trades?

[Fenno]

I don't have a problem with people trading Swan but I don't think you will have enough trades left because I don't think knights is a premium. I have knights myself but he isn't a premium. So basicly you make the trade and just end up with a slightly weaker team than others because you have kept knights or you cop swanny on the bench for the next 2 weeks but end up with a stronger team.

i dont mind the swan trade out provided that you leave plenty of trades left. He will definitely miss the next 2 weeks due to flying out this week, and then the bye, not sure when he is returning, but if it is 3-4 days they could possibly leave him out for 3. If that is the case might be worth it? Only if you are going for overall, that is the only reason im considering it.

If you held him for all this price drop silly to trade him out I think, but yes it's your team I guess. Just don't say the forum didn't tell you so if he comes out and burns post bye

My thoughts exactly. Just hope that two weeks off gets him back to his old self!

[FLOPITOUT1]

Dont have enough trades to get rid of Swannie just gonna upgrade my midfield bench with a premium M/F for cover  :(

[Problems]

LE, who would you be playing off your bench with Swan gone and if you didn't trade him out? And I guess also in a fortnight with Pendles/Shaw/others out?

I think as you're going for overall, if you cant cover two guys in your mids with quality, Swan should make room now for another high scoring player that won't miss anymore games this season (and hope GAJ scores consistently if not more than Swan for the rest of the season..  :-X. )

I should clarify by saying that i would inly do this on the proviso that i was trading Swan back in and the player i traded him too was staying in the side, so effectively only 'wasting' 1 trade. I have had a look at various options though, and ive decided against trading him out. Im ranked 217 and would love to be able to catch up a few spots while swan is out, but going to do it via my bench instead...

[Victorius Secret]

it's a marathon not a sprint, swan will bring it home for the coaches that were not silly enough to trade him out, sucks to be you then.

[JoeMontana]

Go for it, U have a chance of gaining 250-300 points in the next 2 weeks with this trade.  Then Gazza can still average the same as Swan the last 9 weeks of the season as well, so no one can peg back them points of U.

Everyone is going on the priviso that Swanny will rip it if when he comes back, but there's no guarantee. U might even get the gazzman as captain, and get a couple of 300's from him.

[browny_wce]

when the Pies had their first bye I was gonna trade Swanny for Selwood
wish I had actually

[Windigo]

I'm neither for nor against this idea.
