Ask Q (15/6/12)

[Master Q]

Well, if you're bored, I'll show you my team and some plans I have...

TEAM NAME: Evil Weevils CASH LEFT: $51,300
DEF: B. Deledio, B. Goddard, G. Birchall, R. Hargrave, B. Ellis, S. Darley, S. Shaw (M. Clarke, H. Shaw)
MID: M. Boyd, S. Mitchell, S. Thompson, M. Priddis, D. Smith, J. McDonald (D. Swan, S. Pendlebury)
RUC: J. Giles, S. Jacobs (O. Stephenson, S. Mumford)
FWD: L. Franklin, P. Chapman, P. Dangerfield, D. Martin, A. Treloar, A. Hall, D. Zorko (S. Sidebottom, T. Couch)

In two weeks I'll drop one of JMac and DSmith for Sam Gibson, this will let me trade in Carrots for hopefully Ellis, but if not, Clarke.

I'm happy atm with my mids and rucks (Priddis will be upgraded near season's end), but my fwds are really disappointing me. I reckon I'll need to upgrade/cull Hall, Couch and maybe Treloar. All sound good?

Yeah. Good luck ;)

Morris to Shaw gives me $154,000 in the bank, then trading Magner to Gibson gives me $354,000

Should I use that cash to upgrade Stephenson to Maric? That would leave me with  $92,700 and 8 trades
Currently have Giles, Redden and HMac

Thanks Q

I'm not sure about Magner to Gibson, any other options? I like Morris to Shaw - could you do Hmac--> Ruck?

don't like the JS of Stephenson at all, but if he and Giles play next week I should be OK. I think I may trade him out for Maric in Rd 14, but I wanna hold HMac as he is a great ruckman and that would finish off my ruck department - Giles will get rested a bit in the run home don't you think?

Yeah I'm warming towards Magner --> Gibson at Rd 14 too. Thoughts?

Should I just cop 6 donuts on the chin or try to trade my way out of it?
I'm getting really sad right now.......

What about Redden :P He plays... but I actually don't think Magner to Gibson is that bad now but it is still a bit risky... Go with your gut ;)

How many trades? How many donuts next round?

[ENYGMA]

Thinking of going Morris > Shaw,

Horsley > ? either downgrade to S. Gibson or upgrade but I only want Thommo/Watson as Thommo is going to drop this week and Watto has the bye

Also next week, Clarke > Waters and D.Smith to Watson/ Thomson, provided I don't do it this week!

(btw mids are Ablett, Boyd, Swan, Jelwood and rooks so far)

Well, I was already using one to go Morris to S. Shaw but, after that, I have 11 trades remaining.
Next round, I have 3 trades planned to go Ellis to Crozier, D. Smith or Hall to someone (no idea who yet), McDonald to Swan. That'll leave me with 2 or 3 donuts next week.

No idea who I could even bring in this week but would look at options if it were a good idea.

I did Horse to Scott this week as I don't want to use that trade next week when I'll need all 3. So if you think you'll need your trades next week, then do what I did.

I'm not sure TBH...

Q- what do I do with Couch! Trade him to Gibson or hold! Saves a donut but then I have no dpp in the mids?

Trade if you have plenty trades left...

Hi Q.
I'll see if you can help me.

my current team is facing 5 (possibly 6) donuts this week. I have 12 trades and feel like I need to use some to stay afloat.
I've currently got $304,700.

DEF Deledio, Goddard, Suckling, Scotland, Hargrave, Townsend, Darley (Broughton, Smedts)
MID Boyd, Mitchell, Ablett, McDonald, Kennedy, Miles (Pendlebury, Selwood)
RUC  Cox, Redden (Giles, Sandilands)
FWDS  Franklin, Chapman, Dangerfield, Porplyzia, Dickson, Zorko, Tomlinson (Hawkins, Elliott)

Current thoughts are:
Townsend > Adcock (cheap top tier and playing)

I'm not sure if I should downgrade Hargrave to S.Shaw (only because I'm unsure of how many back downgrade targets there will be)
I am also unsure if I should move Sandi this week or later? (likely hinges on Redden selection)
Then for who:
looks like everyone is going Goldy but I don't trust his scores come finals and he isn't so cheap.
Maric seems like the other ruck premium now (like others i spewing I replaced him before the season) but has the bye and is expensive.
Mumford would hopefully be fitter by next week but good price drops to come.
Nic Nac looks great but was hesitant having Cox & missed the boat.
Jacobs is another, cheap but hasn't looked like last year.

Do those 2 trades, and look at Cox if you can!

That's it for this week!
