The only bad trade in that lot is getting buddy in ( which didnt seem bad at the time)! what a team!

rider · June 24, 2013, 11:59:36 AM

I know ouch right. I didn't start with him because the whole Cloke 2012 thing and then he goes and smashed out 90, 100, 100 so i think he is ok and a must have. Now I can't seem to let him go. Thinking he may come good in the run home. But shortly he or Rovky has to go cause I can't bring myself to trading out JJK and Rocky has the better finals draw so I think it will be buddy to finally go.

So Stevie J is definitely out for 2 weeks, Barlow is a possibility to play this week or next...

I would like to do the following trades:
Goodes>Gibbs
&
Ellis/Hanley>Ibbots/Hibbered/Houli
&
SJ/Buddy>Stokes/Roo

I have bolded my favourite three trades and the Goodes>Gibbs one is set in stone.

What would you do with my team?

disco1992 · June 26, 2013, 03:47:29 PM

I like Ellis-> Ibbo this week (I cant trust ellis think he was a great cash grab for people!) Because for your team it sounds funny but I think Buddy is good cover whilst SJ is out!

Its so hard to think of trades for your team because your almost up to premo swapping haha

rider · June 26, 2013, 04:06:58 PM

Ellis was a great cash grab, i picked him up at $217k. Maybe i am getting too attached, but he seemed like he could smash out 100's as good as Ibbo. I don't know why he scored so poorly on the weekend...

deep down i think Ibbo will score more from here on in, but Ellis will likely outscore Hanley...

disco1992 · June 26, 2013, 05:07:51 PM

I think my feelings towards ellis and yours differ alot, as I picked him up in elite and held him for 3 rounds! but I do rate him! I'd even consider going thurlow to clisby if not named and then staker to ibbo next week with Rowe-hunter leaves you with

7 backs and clisby
8 mids, mitchell, hunter
2 rucks, blicavs and nicholls
7 forwards and kennedy
with 100k which you could use to do anything with your side!

Also very pretty picture

chief007 · June 26, 2013, 07:06:52 PM

have you looked at duffield, hibberd or even enright insted of ibbo, ibbo may end up another ellis before the years out, the others are proven good players

rider · June 26, 2013, 07:51:06 PM

That's my worry with ibbo. I like mckenzie though and he has a great finals run.

rider · June 28, 2013, 10:51:00 PM

So I ended up trading Goodes/Rowe>Gibs/Clisby. I couldn't decide whether or not to go Ellis/Hanley to Ibbots/Mckenzie so I thought I'd give them both another chance and if Ellis goes well ill keep him and upgrade Thurlow and move Hanley to the bench. I was going to dbl downgrade next week with vlisby and Hunter, now I can do an upgrade downgrade which is more fun.

CaPtain choice was a tough one I really wanted to back Griff in but ended up going safe and locking in Ablett like my league opponent.

Good Call, with those trades, I'm thinking daniher JS may be okay now with Belly subbed just after half time (injury free)
maybe look at him over hunter( but see how he goes)

rider · June 29, 2013, 08:35:34 AM

Thats true re JS. Looking at Hunter cause he is a mid and they usually score more and go up quicker.

rider · June 30, 2013, 12:06:12 AM

Whisking I went with my gut and locked griff in for capt though I can't be too upset I had thought about Boyd and swan before settling on Ablett.

disco1992 · June 30, 2013, 10:05:22 PM

If your still considering double down what about Dawson Simpson for blicavs!!

rider · June 30, 2013, 11:12:05 PM

What's his JS like he is expensive, but if he plays the next 2 could be worth it.

Not bringing Hunter after his vest. Looking at Ellis >. Stanley an either Rocky or Buddy to Stokes

rider · July 02, 2013, 04:39:07 PM

Was gonna bring in Brad McKenzie, but now that Boyd is out looks like i will bring in ROK
