1st year and need some help on what trades to make!

Harris to Ablett would be good but takes most of your cash and will give you a cracker jack midfield. 9 trades then to bring in one more prem back and a prem forward with downgrades/upgrades.

Jay · June 20, 2011, 11:27:03 PM

Love it but i am concerned about number of trades...i would like 6 for finals so would like to "finish" my team with these 2 trades.

Does this sound better: harris & heppel-->bob murphy & priddis???
Getting bob murphy opens up a def-fwd mpp link as i hav mckernan in forwards. This leaves me with a very solid backs and mids would have mzungu as F7 but i dont see that as a problem???

Thoughts??

Looks good - Would you have enough cash left to upgrade Prestia to Didak to give additional F7/8 if he continues his form improvement as we know what he is capable of in second half of year.

Fall 40k short im afraid...iles-->didak could be done?!?!?

Ringo · June 21, 2011, 09:27:51 AM

That will work well allowing you to switch Didak between mids and forwards if he is scoring well to cover future byes. Both will possibly rise the same amount this week as well so hopefully you can do next week

Leaving me with 7 trades and a complete team!!

Sounds great to me!

So this week: heppel & harris-->priddis & murphy
Next week: iles-->dids

Anyone hav any objections???

Jay · June 23, 2011, 09:07:06 AM

Im now reconsidering...im thinking of doing:

This week
Lower&harris-->murphy&sylvia

Then when callinan is on the bubble:
Prestia & iles-->callinan&priddis

Leavin me with 6 trades

Thoughts

Jay · June 28, 2011, 08:31:09 AM

Last week i went heppel to bob murphy (mpp with mckernan) and harris to sylvia leaving me with this team:
8 trades and $147,100 and still undefeated in my league

Fisher goddard enright newman gibbs deledio murphy__lower puopolo buckley
Swan pendles boyd s.thommo cotchin mzungu__prestia jacobs iles
Sandi cox__smith bailey
Pav n.roo j.roo cyril goodes sylvia yarran__mckernan i.smith c.richo

Should i trade sandi???

Just letting u know when iles has reached his ceiling he will be gone for moloney/priddis.

Ringo · June 28, 2011, 08:45:46 AM

In your position being undefeated I would run the risk of not trading Sandi until we know for sure how many weeks he is out. If the rumoured 4 is correct then you would only be looking at 3 games because of Freo's bye. It would mean playing both Smith and Bailey this week which may result in your first defeat but I am sure you can cope with that. It also allows you to keep 8 trades and have the strongest ruck comb going into finals.

Jay · June 28, 2011, 08:51:21 AM

Yeh will keep sandi...first defeat wont come this week have a very easy game wot timing :D

Think ill just hold tight with my trades until iles reached his ceiling...fingers crossed i can afford priddis :)

Ringo · June 28, 2011, 09:01:54 AM

With Bailey as cover you may be able to also downgrade Smith after Hawks bye if you do not have enough for Isles to Priddis.

ajjewell · June 28, 2011, 01:03:23 PM

I think seeing you are in such a strong position you may as well hold Sandi, as he will be a good pod come finals time

Jay · July 06, 2011, 05:42:22 PM

my team is now:

Fisher goddard enright newman gibbs deledio murphy__lower puopolo buckley
Swan pendles boyd s.thommo cotchin mzungu__prestia jacobs iles
Sandi cox__smith bailey
Pav n.roo j.roo cyril goodes sylvia yarran__mckernan i.smith c.richo

this week i am considering jroo-->talia and next week iles-->GAJ

thoughts???

Jay · July 11, 2011, 03:52:45 PM

Last week i went smith-->lobbe leaving me with 7 trades and $330,000.

So my team is:

Fisher goddard enright newman gibbs deledio murphy__lower puopolo buckley
Swan pendles boyd s.thommo cotchin mzungu__prestia jacobs iles
Sandi cox__smith bailey
Pav n.roo j.roo cyril goodes sylvia yarran__mckernan i.smith c.richo

Thoughts??!

Ringo · July 11, 2011, 04:05:29 PM

Trades I would consider but up to you

Iles > Priddis
J Roo > ROK or Fyfe (following on from your suggested trades).

Leaves you 5 trades and around $28k so look for downgrades prior to finals.
