the giles and duffield issue im having?

krusty · July 26, 2012, 01:05:11 PM

i have 4 trades left with $192400

def: goddard,lids,carrazzo,birchall,lake duffield,waters emg smedts,darley
mids: ablett,swan,pendles,mitchell,priddis,thompson s emg gibson, williams m
ruck: cox,giles emg redden, big o
fwd: franklin,pav,sidebottom,dangerfield,robinson,riewoldt,zorko emg: adams t,McIntyre t

the issue im having is that giles avg last 3 games is 58.3 and over 5 games 62
and duffield avg last 3 games is 53 and over 5 is 57.8

i feel i need to upgrade to pretty much finish off my team i m just not sure as to which one i should trade? i only want to make one trade as i think three would be enough going into finals.
does anyone know if duffield is playing a different role or is it a form slump?

Duffield was dropped for a few weeks (as I'm assure you are aware), when he come back into the side he was sub. That would have affected his average big time. I watched the game on the w/end. Duffield is playing his usual role down back. He looked ok although it was GWS. He has bottomed out in price big time. I would hold for now, considering you have held him this long, and the amount of trades you have. You never know from here what injuries, suspensions or players being rested you will cop between now and the end of the season. He was averaging around 90 i think earlier in the year, and could easily get back close to that. He is a good player and the type of player that can score well. I would look to upgrade Giles (and probably still leaking cash), I think he is a bigger issue for you than Duffield.
I took the punt and traded Duffield out when he was dropped. I am keeping my eye on him as a cheap up grade target.
Good luck.

Giles to who ever you can afford. Maybe Roughead

i can affored nic nat, McEvoy or any one under $538100

Get McEvoy. Duffield will be serviceable enough until you can upgrade during the finals.

Have the same backs as me instead of smedts i have shaw, duffield will be okay and will probably consistently score 80s when in form so id hold, im also trading giles out this week
In fact your whole team is almost identical to mine bar 4 players

I also have Cox and Giles. Is anyone who is trading Giles not WORRIED ABOUT COX BEING RESTED VS PORT IN THE SC FINALS???

I am. Would have traded Giles already if not for this. I'm pretty sure WC will be confident they can win with Nic-Nat up against Lobbe. Redden MAY play but he may not. Either way doesn't help me cos I traded him down instead of Big O.

Giles to Roughie would be a good move imo. Just cant get on the sauce (by $10K)

Freo hasve a good draw so Duff should bounce back
