WXV Trade Confirmation

[Vinny]

Haha woops.

Well yeah you were being a tight ass. :P

[Jroo]

Haha woops.

Well yeah you were being a tight ass. :P

I know  :P
But I don't think Petrie will go at 95+ next year, like you.

[roo boys!]

Mexico trade: Lindsay Thomas, Sam Gilbert, Sam Siggins, John Butcher
Dillos trade: Drew Petrie, Darcy Byrne-Jones

JRoo to confirm.

I'll give reasons tomorrow but there's the trade. Sorry guys I gotta get up early. :P

Cheers J!

Confirmed. Need a fwd with Pav gone. Hopefully Petrie can get back to 95+ next year! like Vinny thinks he will  :P

Petrie is like 32 and has a down year but that was due to a poor start. Despite his age, he has been one of the most consistent SC KPF forwards of the last 5 years. He finished the year with 149, 98, 112 and 86. On top of that, in the finals he had: 94, 109 and 86. He will only benefit from the inclusion of Waite too. We reckon he will be good for a 90+ average next year and will provide great rotation for Mexico with Pavlich.

Lindsay Thomas & Sam Gilbert both are young and are decent enough. As well as some extra depth we are receiving.

I've told you like 10 times, I've traded Pav  ::) :P

If Gilbert stays fit I think he can score well, the others I'm not so sure about.

Sounds to me like Vinny wants Pav and Petrie to be together...c'mon, trade Drewy over to Toronto :P

[meow meow]

Buenos Aires must have been ancient if they class 28 year old Gilbert as young.

[Vinny]

We were and the fact that we got no other offers for Petrie.

Compared to Fletcher, everyone is young!

Christchurch trade: Tom Rockliff and Sam Gilbert
Mexico City trade: Aaron Sandilands and Bryce Gibbs.

I'm not changing it. Whoever negged has surely seen the light after my analysis.

Yeah confirmed. I'm happy with it.

[Nige]

Okay, here's the revised trade.

Cairo give: Mackie + N53
Rio give: Thompson + N10

The 4 coaches who negged it thought too much was being given for Mackie, Oss wants us to add a pick or something to even it out. The way I see it is that Mackie should have probably 3 years left and will score well in that time, our D4 position isn't that strong at the moment, but because we're not an immediate premiership threat, a young, best 22 defender boosts our options long term (also assuming Hanley loses DPP for 2015 but regains it in 2016 and moves back to defense for us - so BSmith, Hanley, Mackenzie, x - Thompson, McGovern, Rowe etc). The pick (N53), if used well, in this year's draft pool should pick up a pretty decent player capable of forging a decent career and is every chance to be as good as Rory Thompson who is a KPD who probably will never average more than 70 in his career. Imo, too much is no longer being given by Rio as N53 balances it out.

Levis to confirm.

A revised trade here, between Mexico City and Christchurch

Mexico City give: Bryce Gibbs, Aaron Sandilands

Christchurch give: Tom Rockliff, James Sicily

Replacing Sicily for Gilbert, as worth less and Christchurch need defenders, in order for this trade to pass.

M2 to confirm.

Only a fool would argue with Os, Holz and UTM. Am I a fool? Sometimes. But not this time.

Mexico City give: Ben Lennon, Lindsay Thomas, John Butcher, Dylan Addison, Daniel Pearce
Buenos Aires give: Blake Acres, Drew Petrie, Darcy Byrne-Jones, Paul Stewart + Picks 70, 81

Basically, I'm downgrading Lennon to Acres which hurts as I don't have a lot of young forwards. Lennon averaged around 95DT in the VFL this year, which is pretty good, compared to Acres' 70 odd. But Acres should get more games next year and I rate him very highly.

That's why I get an upgrade of Thomas to Petrie, and the rest are just a swap of spuds, although I think DBJ can be a good player for the Power, long-term.

Vinny to confirm.
