Getting Beams and losing Hargrave (Cheering those who contribute)

Dave085 · June 22, 2012, 04:50:59 PM

Gday all

Looking for a few different ways to upgrade a forward to Beams and possibly lose Hargrave as my backline is full and he is now my D8.
Going for league wins
Hargrave --> Shaun Edwards, Treloar --> Gibson & Hall/Pfieffer to Beams
OR
Treloar --> Gibson, Hall --> Crozier & Pfeiffer --> Beams.

Edwards - He may bring in some cash for later on in the season. He is listed to play this week but i dont know this bloke and dont know his JS...

I currently have 11 trades and $24,300 in the bank.
If i use all 3 trades this week it will leave me with 8.

What other targets are there? Im stuck on what to do with him. My backs are full and i only need a bench player/cash cow... And i also want Beams. I plan on getting Watson/Thompson next week or week after...

DEF: B Deledio, B Goddard, H Scotland, M Johnson, B Waters, D Heppell, H Shaw - Bench R Hargrave, S Shaw
MID: M Boyd, G Ablett, D Swan, S Pendlebury, J Selwood, A Treloar Bench J McDonald, A Sexton
RUCK: I Maric, J Giles Bench O Stephenson, J Redden
FWD: L Franklin, S Sidebottom, D Martin, T Cloke, J Lewis, D Zorko, T Dickson Bench D Pfeiffer, A Hall

already told you my opinion but i might add, Get rid of Hall, you get more cash from him and Mckenna doesnt seem to like him, Pffifer should keep stringing games together. :D As for the plan of getting Watson or Thompson this is what i said to someone who asked me who to get

I personally have both, Both great scorers, both capable of big scores, Watson more consistent with lowest scores of 91 and 94 (only 2 scores under 100) and Thommo with 59 and 65 (3 scores under 100) (cant cope as well with a tag). Thommo is about 40k cheaper so from here i cant split them but i have heard rumors about Brenton Sanderson resting players towards the end of the season (DT finals). So from that reason i would say Watson but either way you get a great player.

Definately leaning towards Watson at this time but will wait and see next week/s how things are going.

I dont plan on keeping either Hall or Pfeiffer at the moment, and would probably rather lose Pfeiffer, Hall still has a few $$ to make compared to him. Just hope that he gets a game. Will consider what you said though.

This is tough one because your basically bringing in one player with low JS who could be sitting on your bench doing nothing.

Maybe option 1 based on Edwards vs Crozier, i rate crozier job security really low in my opinion.

Edwards is unknown but may get more games being with GWS and Sheedy giving players a go.

I think Hall will be hard pressed to play many more games....

Dave085 · June 22, 2012, 05:57:20 PM

Yeah, it really comes down to job security.

Edwards is playing his 4th game and his second in a row at least. Does this mean he might be given a string of games to see how he goes? Bugg is named on the bench and Cornes as emergency. Is he safe???

Hall has a low BE I think he will be selected again in the next 2-3 rounds.

Not sure if you can afford it, but Darley would be a better option at $177k(50k more)
So if you can afford, then possibly Hargrave to Darley, Treloar/Pfeiffer to Gibson and get Beams in?

Didn't do the maths, so sorry if nothing works getting Darley in. But I'm imagining it would, so give it a try.

;)

Dave085 · June 22, 2012, 06:57:43 PM

Yes yes, works, but is it worth the extra $50k?
They have played similar games and again, i dont know much about Darley and JS. If they are about the same i would rather take the extra cash to help upgrade next week. I definately need to do 3 trades this week though to afford Beams.

Doing Hargrave to Edwards, Treloar to Gibson and Pfeiffer to Beams leaves me about $145,000.
