Saved my trades now its time to use them.

[Holz]

Lids, Goddard, Malceski, Bugg, Hagreave, Shaw, Morris  (Ellis,Smedts)
Murpy, Pendles, Selwood, Ablett, Mcdonald, Magner (Shiel, Smith)
Sandilands, Giles (Stephenson, Redden)
Danger, Franklin, Sidebottom, Pav, Martin, Porps, Trealor (Kennedy, Couch)

I was going well, was ranked inside the top 200 than had a shocker last week and outside the 2k so need to make some moves. I have 22 trades left so im in a relatively good postion.

Couch is an obvious problem and i cant afford him doing nothing, but ihave 0 cash in the bank so i can only get rid of him for crisp, but than i lose DPP

Some thing i have thought of doing

Ablett to Mitchell and Porpoise to Chapman.
Couch to Crisp (lose DPP)
Porposie to Pfiefer than the week after Smith to Horsely and Shiel to Judd etc.....

With 22 trades, I would bite the bullet on Sandilands

This week

Ablett > Rocky
Sandilands > Naitanui.

Next week.

Smith > Horsley
Kennedy > Harvey

Good luck, should move back up with those trades.

Your backs would have struggled last week with Hargrave and Shaw (heater is it??) out and taking Smedts score of 3
Your mids are strong with GAJ out, he should be back for the GWS clash so i would hold him.
Your rucks are ok if Sandi plays this weekend, but he is not a long term player this year, will be in and out all of the time
Your forwards got hit by having 3 out last weekend. Kennedy should return this week, but i dont know about Porps with his injury.

What happened to trade hard, trade early???

Ablett to Mitchell and Porpoise to Chapman.

No would do Ablet to Mitchell as Mitchell has a massive BE and Ablet will be back. Porps to Chappy is ok but Porps has a low BE and can still make you more cash if he plays

Couch to Crisp (lose DPP)

Who the flower knows what Neeld is doing at the Dees as he firstly made Magner tag and now wont play Couch. Crisp will make you some cash but i am a little worried over his JS

Porposie to Pfiefer than the week after Smith to Horsely and Shiel to Judd

Like i said Porps can still make you money if he plays, if not Porposie to Pfiefer is a good idea. I wouldnt go Shiel to Judd though as you already have Murphy and Ablet missing the Round 13 bye

[Holz]

Well my trade hard trade early strategy means from round 5-10 I normally use about 8 trades.

The trades you suggest Charlie are interesting rocky would be great but would you drop sandiif redden or Stephenson are back and won't having my 2 best rucks round 11 be a problem?. I was thinking of trying to get a sandi Giles roughead ruck combo than round 14 downgrade a forward rookie to a cheap f/r than roughead can cover both lines.

Could go Ablett to Hoarsely and Redden to Roughead than next week bring in Judd or Mitchell after they drop in price

By then you would have upgraded 1 ruck.  You should manage donuts, but at the same time you should not fear them.  Strongly suggest my trade order, exactly what I would do in your position!

ok will look to do it, mcevoy over nic nat?  and you say upgrade a ruck, but i plan on keeping giles so i assume you mean upgrading redden or stephenson to a guy like mummy or mcevoy.

[charliesheen]

You won't regret Nic Nait.  Perma locked in my team for years to come.

[Holz]

ok I have taken your advice and its very helpful i have tweaked it a little to see what my next 3 weeks would look like if im lucky and have no LTIs

This week: Ablett to Rockliff   and Sandi to Mcevoy/Nic Nat
Next week: Porps to Chappy and Couch to Horsely
Week after: Magner to Zorko and Smith to Mitchell

would leave me with 16 trades left and

Lids, Goddard, Malceski, Bugg, Hagreave, Shaw, Morris  (Ellis,Smedts)
Murpy, Pendles, Selwood, Rockliff, Mitchell, Mcdonald, ( Shiel, Zorko)
Mcevoy, Giles (Stephenson, Redden)
Danger, Franklin, Sidebottom, Pav, Martin, Chapman, Trealor (Kennedy, Couch)


Nic Nat looks the goods, im just worried about the byes with Mcevoy and Giles i should be safe for half of them and i planned on bringing in Mummy when he is fit so that would leave me safe. If i went Nic Nat i would want to trade out Giles at some stage.

[Jay]

DONT TRADE ABLETT...MCKENNA HAS SAID WILL BE BACK NEXT WEEK...SURELY YOU CAN HANDLE ONE MORE WEEK¡¿

If you are biting the bullet on sandi... Nic nat > mcevoy IMI

You considered goodes instead of chappy next week?

Havent heard anything on zorko/mitchell...dont trade in unless named for their 3rd game (my golden rule)




Good Luck :)

[Holz]

Now going sand I to mcevoy and couch to pfiefer. Than next week Kennedy to hoarsely and porpoise to goodes or Mitchell. Or could magnet and getting Judd instead

[Jay]

better

[Holz]

With 22 trades, I would bite the bullet on Sandilands

This week

Ablett > Rocky
Sandilands > Naitanui.

Next week.

Smith > Horsley
Kennedy > Harvey

Good luck, should move back up with those trades.

should have listened to you, im happy i kept ablett but trading to nic nat would have been better than mcevoy :(
