Treloar to Patton for cash with team complete?

Bones Bombers · June 18, 2012, 10:14:42 PM

This weeks trades:
Old Mac to Gibson
Pfeiffer to Chappy
Treloar to Patton for cash
Only leaves 3 trades!!!

Def: Godd, Lids, Waters, Hurn, Suckers, Hepp, Dempsey(S.Shaw, Ellis)
Mid: Ablett, Stanton,Mitchell, Boyd,Thommo, Priddis(Gibson, Marley Williams)
Ruck: Ryder, Giles(Big O, Redden)
Fwd: Franklin, Beams,Sidey,Danger, Robbo, Chappy, Zorko(Sexton, Patton)

I think it's worth a trade to go Treloar to Patton for cash this week before his price drops. The trade gives me $174,900 for a final upgrade if needed or to cover an LTI. I know I should have more trades for finals but damn I like my team!
What does everyone else think?
Oh and what do you think of the team?

wouldn't do Treloar to Patton, but if you don't have DPP link to MIDs I'd trade Treloar or Pfeiffer to Chappy and Old Mac to Gibson, in your case I'd keep one of Treloar/Pfeiffer, and I reckon Treloar can still outscore Patton most weeks

(if you can afford it that is)

Three trades at this stage is not enough, and those trades are saving you one donut - not worth it IMO. Just use two of them

Don't trade to Patton - no point. Wait and see if Couch is named this week and if he is jump on him.

Cheer for your thoughts mate!
Think the 2 trades are pretty good and if I don't make the third I only have $25k to make an upgrade later. Is the $150k extra gonna come in handy? Is it worth a trade?

Patton has good Job Security compared to other rookies tho? Will be star at some point.

not worth it if you're getting in Patton, if its for Couch when (of IF) he plays that would be a better move :)

Bones Bombers · June 18, 2012, 11:02:30 PM

I know Patton's price is very steep but his JS is high.
I have been keeping an eye on Crozier, what do u guys think of him?
As much as we all want Couch to be a gun, he hasn't even got near the ground yet. Not even as Emg I don't think.

surely patton is too pricey a rookie to get in this point of the year?

I don't think so any player I bring into my team now will be staying so I will happily pay his price given his job security but not until next week hopefully him and carrots next week

It's gonna be a hard decision?

Just asking... Has anyone even seen Couch play a FULL game... for any team? Juniors? NAB Cup?
I don't think he can match it with the big boys. Hence why his name isn't being tossed around at the selection table AND yes I know he is a rookie but imo I doubt we'll see him this year at least.

Yeah I can't believe the number of people still talking about trading him in when he hasn't been sighted.
I know he was good in the preseason cup but that was the last time I saw him so he's not coming in for me.

It is apparently his disposal efficiency that is stopping him from being picked is getting good numbers in vfl but not using it well according to reports I have seen would be surprised of he doesn't get a few games late they would have to see how he goes to finalize their recruiting for next year I think

With so few trades I'd consider going Crozier (or Couch if he ever gets named) over Gibson for his DPP. That way if one of your mids are out then you can atleast move Zorko to the mids and play Patton fwd. I wouldn't be confident having Gibson as your only cover as he probably doesn't have the best JS. Williams' time is almost up in that Pies team. You don't want to be left with donuts in your mids come finals time.

Patton looks a good pickup as he'll be the only mid/fwd bench rookie in your team with good JS.
