The Trading Rule ~ Does this change your team structure?

[Football Factory]

Changes my mids significantly.

Out go Uber Premiums and in come underpriced premiums.

You know what comes next ;)

That was my original strategy, now i'm thinking opposite, trade down before rd three to the underpricer who's gunning it

I'm still going with 5 Gun MIDS, they're the ones who score the most points! It's not all about the $$$

Isnt it ? .. im thinking with these new trade rules people will be going nuts with trades to make enough money as they can to upgrade their team as quick as they can .. or is that just me ? A decent score is also necassary from the get go so a mix of Uber Premo's,midpricers and rooks seem like the way to go to me they all make you cash .. anyone agree?

hmm interesting point...
would you rather Redden + rook or Embley + Ball then

I dont have a problem with Redden will make some cash and become a top 8 midfielder imo .. Embley and Ball are both in my team

[tbagrocks]

That's the good thing about the new rule E2 it throws up more complex strategy's, now to find the right one :P

[essendon2]

Grimes + Goldy + Cloke
vs
Sandi + Hartlett + Cloke
vs
Martin + Goldstein + 30k

[GM]

Grimes + Goldy + Cloke
vs
Sandi + Hartlett + Cloke
vs
Martin + Goldstein + 30k

First 2 are pretty close E2,but i prefer Sandi over Goldy

yeah I've gone Sandilands + Hartlett + Sylvia

[Grazz]

Yep more cash cows, the way i see you win it now is to generate as much money as quickly as possible and beat everyone to a Prem Team.  ;)

[essendon2]

definitely more underpriced players like Ball, Embley, Knights, Sandi and Pendles are all very close to locks!

[Holz]

im not sure about others but it has only had a tiny effect on my starting team. All i did was trade out martin for Nroo (good draw)

the difference will be in how your teams change i dont think it should chaneg your starting team at all.

[picker_man]

Yeah im with you Holz, to many guys getting excited and putting in Spuds that shouldn't really be considered just casue they get a few extra trades, will be interesting to see how all these midprices go though, even though prietty much all of em need to pay of to make it worth it....

Really Nroo?? what am i missing there :-\

Well, Saint Kilda play Gold Coast, Richmond, and GWS in their first 3 games.

NRoo scored 126 & 136 against Gold Coast last year, and 100 against Richmond. He didn't play GWS, but you would think he will ton up against them.

He still averaged a decent 85 last year (89 if you remove his sub affected game) and should make a bit of cash in the first month or so to be a straight swap to someone like Buddy.

I don't have him at this stage, but I can definitely see the merit behind starting him and I was actually thinking of him as a smokey about 2 weeks ago. Hope he does well for my Asians too. ;)

What happens after the first 3 games though?? is it worth having him for those games and then trading him Adz??

Hahah besides Riewoldt and Martin you know you have Spuds, Me and Toga happy to give one of our 4 fwds ave 113+ for a back ;) and we have tippet and varcoe as backups :o You will Feel the wrath of the Lambs ;D

[Mr.Craig]

This will hopefully be one of the positive outcomes - that people will go a bit more unique and not necessarily stick to the 50 or so players that are super popular. They might crash and burn or they might kill it.

I think the major issue people are grappling with today is that we've gone from a very well defined strategy that most of us are skilled at, to a situation where there's all sorts of different ways to approach selections, trading and cash generation. Yeah okay, it's made things easier for spuds and harder for top coaches but the guys at the top are there because they are far more knowlegable about a whole range of things that affect the overall outcome. No rule change can take that away.

Yep drop him after round 3.

My plan is round 3 trade out my highest BE premo for a rookie than fix up a rookie. Round out Nroo and in SJ or buddy and bring the best premo I can afford to replace the guy I traded out.

This is what im struggerling to come to terms with Mr.Craig, I think its great for the game as gives so many different options to consider. Im not sure I have the balls to deviate from my stratergy though and take the risks with these guys i would of never considered in past years. Comes down to old or new i guess  :-\

Hmmm there is alot of upside looking at it your way Holz, but still to many negatives aswell imo. If Riewodt doesnt perform whats the back up plan for that?? I can definantly now see why its tempting but there is alot of risk involved to make minimal cash isn't there?? If Riewoldt spuds up you will lose cash and need to downgrade a rookie just to upgrade him, whilst everyone uses that to get a premium elsewere not rectify a mistake :-\ Big risk for Big gain i guess.

[essendon2]

If NRoo spuds up you just trade him to Martin or Wright after round 2! 8)
