The Gary Ablett Thread

[The Silent Partner]

I'll be trading now I reckon... What about when Gazz returns though? Do we bring him straight in or do we trade him in around bye time??

Hey Ele
I reckon Bye time would be more ideal but if he only has two weeks still only Rd 7 he is back could lose a few points saying he gets 130+ every week. I guess thats why if we do the trade it has to be another mid premo with bye to suit. It is milking time soon and the def rooks Bugg and Clarke aren't performing too badly could be first upgrade or second after a fwd upgrade pending bank balance.
I think the trade depends if your going for overall or league.

[elephants]

Yeah, cheers lads. I think its do-able especially with the number of underpriced premiums out there...

Getting rid of a golden player, and wasting a golden trade...? Are you mad. This year should be easy.

In the process though we gain a golden extra 60 points per round by fielding a premium over a rookie times by 3 weeks equals 180 points...
Add to this the golden 80-100k you could save...
I dunno, just my opinion.

What are your thoughts on ebert nets me 200K in the bank and i can upgrade a fwd next couple of weeks

[weee]

Well im thinking of offloading Gazza, and look to be one of my first upgrades, Last year if im not correct after his injury last year, the two rounds afterwise he scored 101, and 97 which are reasonable but will still mean a biggish decreases and they are rolling with him to the bye rounds, which make him a pretty good upgrade target.

Looking at Getting on Swan, so have to make the decision before Wednesday :\, but Collingswood draw up until the bye is fairly easy, with player Gold Coast, Melbourne, Bulldogs all at some stage. And with Penduls looking to be limping around i cannot afford to have TWO underdone Premo's in the Mids,  :-\ :-\

But in saying all of this he might come back and smash a couple of 130's :-\. That's the beauty of Dream Team,

Well really it comes down to what do you think Ebert can average for the rest of the year. It could be a masterstroke of Ebert ends being a 105+ midfielder but at the end of the day fo you really want to have to do a double trade to make Ebert a premium? I wouldn't have thought so.

In short... You have to risk it for the biscuit ;)

[The Silent Partner]

Indeed it is the biscuit I crave think i will sit on it for a while wont be getting Stanton or any other Don or Pie so i'll just wait reckon the cursor is getting closer to trade button though :-\

[elephants]

Hahah yep my cursor is acting similarly. Although I am looking at the Swandogga... I gotta get to work tomorrow :P

Yes. If we don't beat GWS then bluesy will get sacked.

doc says 2-3, Gaz wants one. maby he'll miss 2!, doubt its worth trading if he's missing 2 weeks!

Doubt he'll manage one week.

I'm keeping him regardless but am going to try some early upgrades...hopefully there aren't any more injuries.

[Praetorian]

They'll want to make sure Ablett's fit before playing him. Even if he only misses one, I'm willing to ride out the inevitable price drop that will come from scoring 97 when priced at ~580k.

The real question for me is who to bring in for him. :( I've narrowed it down to Boyd and Swan. Taking suggestions.
