trades! big ideas - big help needed!

giuly1 · July 24, 2012, 12:14:49 PM

hi all, i have 5 trades left and $299,700 and the team sits like this:

BACK: delidio, hurn, goddard, birchall, shaw, carrazzo, yarran (s.shaw, spurr)

MID: ablett, watson, swan, pendlebury, selwood, boyd (a.kennedy, c.smith)

RUCK: natinui, giles (redden, campbell)

FWRD: dangerfield, sidebottom, pavlich, franklin, cloke, zorko, pfieffer (couch, a.hall)

MAIN PRIORITY = probably to get rid of Giles, but im not sure if there are any PERFECT ruck options.. still not so set on Sam Jacobs or Ben McEvoy..

so what my thoughts are is to probably bring in Baguley from Essendon.. but thats all im thinking, should win my league game comfortably

PLEASE GIVE ME ADVICE i need some help! :P :D

cheers :)

Personally I'd do Giles to Cox (wait a week if u can as Cox has a high BE)

giuly1 · July 24, 2012, 12:29:50 PM

so you think waiting would be the best idea?

no trades at all this week??

As you can afford to wait based on easy game then I would look at 1 downgrade option this week - quite a few on the bubble and then in the coming weeks you have cash in the bank to do some good upgrades. Cloke, Pfieffer and Giles is where i'd be looking

thanks for the advice dickitch, who should i go down to this week do you think?

If it were me I would do the following:-

Giles > Goldstein (nice draw coming home)
Pfeiffer > Lewis/Goodes

Team finished.

Problem is your bench cover is a bit weak.

Yeh I like the look of North's home run - If it weren't for the fact I want Pendlebury I liked the look of Swallow.

Giuly, if I were you I think i'd be going C Smith > Baguley and then Giles > your choice. Rucks are a little difficult. If you decide on someone like Goldstein go this week, Cox next week.

im not sure that i absolutely NEED to use 2 trades this week, but i certainly can!

Legan and dickitch,

my main target was Goldstein becasue he has a fantastic draw, but i reckon he could drop in value further this week...
or should i just grab him now because giles is probably set to go down this week??

im not so set on goodes, even though he is cheap, his form is rubbish..
lewis is on fire & is definately a target
but could i maybe wait a week to see nat fyfes form to find an x factor through finals??

thanks guys, you're really helping me out :) more help is needed!!

2 things i would do with that team are:

Upgrade Giles to sauce (as his draw is awesome and shoudlnt get rested)
Move Pfeiffer to the mids and upgrade Kennedy to who ever you can afford

giuly1 · July 24, 2012, 06:57:25 PM

i like that thinking tabs, kennedy is a dud and doesnt ever play.

but he cant be upgraded this week becasue i dont have anywhere near enough money $$ to get anyone good for him..

any thoughts og roughead in the ruck?
that's the direction i went.

Legen...DARY · July 25, 2012, 11:04:20 AM

I say definitely get Goldie this week as Giles wont make his BE. Goldies BE is in the 90's - should get that.

Maybe hold off on a Forward up grade for a week or 2 if you have easy games coming up.

Pfeiffer's BE is quite low and should make you some more cash if he plays...

Nat Fyfe could be a nice POD coming into the season end, however coming back from injury, lacking match fitness, could well cop a vest or 2.

Ross Lyon has turned me off ever picking a Freo player whilst he's in charge.

Good luck!
