Still stuck on a trade. Trading Porplyzia but only got 510K to spend. If i trade Treloar i will be able to get Zaha, but he still has a lot of money to make. So, this poll will decide my trade.
T/U: Out: Porps In: ROK
T/D: Out: Treloar In: Zaharakis
Thanks

2 proposed trades good, Newman also supercheap.
Pendles is a non trade for me. If Pendles back after bye which we hope is the case then he is really only out for one game as we factored in the bye anyway. However, i’m down to 12,000 & not 14th with a chance of the 50K.
Good luck & fingers crossed for top 5 overall by the end of the byes.

I’m looking at 10 donuts over the 3 rounds at the moment. 5 this week, 2 next week and 3 the week after.
That’s assuming Pendles/Shaw come back for Rd 13 though and there’s no other injuries/suspensions. But hey, its 2012 AFL Supercoach so of course there’ll be more injuries/suspensions.

Howdy Gang…..Back from sunny Thailand and walked into Carnage..
Thinking this trade which happens to save me a donut this week but its not the reason Im doing it …Its more that Cogs is out for a month now and Sexton has good JS and dpp…..Also I dont see any other great mid rookies in the near future( Couch who knows, Williams killing it but cant break in,Miles maybe now that Cogs is out but still a few weeks away…)
So Im thinking Cogs – Sexton
T/U – Good trade
T/D- Wait for something better

IMO upgrading should always be done at prime moments (eg now for those two trades), because you only save trades to upgrade so whats the point in holding onto an excessive number and having no upgrades in your team

I am warming to Sexton as a slow-burning downgrade option, hopefully he will get consistent games. I already have Spurr so I am reluctant to bring him in if he is not going to be selected much in the second half of the season.

Copping 4 donuts in the mid this week! Thinking horsley to jobe watson, which means next week i shouldn’t cop any donuts, do you reckon horsley has got a long way to go in price? Originally was trading out shiel but with a breakeven of 3 i just can’t do it,

Facing too many donuts this week – can help my cause by getting rid of Porps, for either Cloke or Jack Riewoldt (all I can afford) and already have Buddy, Chappy, Danger & Sidebottom. Or do I suck it up, and save the trade – will have 10 left if I do it? Thoughts?

thinking of making three and eventually 4 trades
scotland to any premium back excluding delids goddard shaw and waters could go grima or suckling meaning instead of traiding porps i could trade a.kennedy but instead of 80k left i would have 10k
d.smith to williams
porps/a.kennedy to beams or any premium fwd
then next week bringing in priddis for horsley
good idea or not?

Started the week with 3 donuts, will have 5 donuts thanks to Penders & Horsley. 6 if Swanlow doesn’t come up. Traded Didak in & he’s on an extended bench which might give me 7. Didak will be the killer, am thinking of the reverse trade, but, think he’ll appreciate during the run home.

Didak to help the bye rounds, as well as being a POD. Will probably only be used as a M/F swing bench to cover injuries and Co. If firing could be used as F7.
Sandi trade is via Hale’s dp Link. I think Sandi will be the highest averaging ruckman from here on in/

I said this last week but Stevie J has 4 tons, a 102 and 3 >140′s. The 3 were with Selwood, Kelly and Corey out respectively. Also tonight I think Gibbs will do a good job on him tonight and Geelong have a full midfield so he will get less of a run in the guts.
