by Motts on May 15, 2012

Assume none of these guys are in your team, you need some extra firepower this week and you can afford one of them. Who would you take?

Has improved a hell of a lot but still plays too outside for Chas I reckon.

All are goo shouts, couldn’t really go wrong with any. However:

* Thommos easy run is over
* Can Stanton keep it up? He never has before.
* JPK – avg is up >25 points from last year. Sustainable?
* Selwoods output hasnt been as high as expected so far.

I would go:
1. Selwood
2. Thommo
3. Stanton
4. JPK

I just can’t bring myself to bring in Stanton, Especially with selwood being a proven elite player.

Still plenty of easy points up for grabs for the Crows.

RD 15 – Port
RD 16 – GWS

RD 21 – Brisbane
RD 22 – Melbourne
RD 23 – Gold Coast

Pretty handy run through the finals. Just got to worry about guns playing the Suns or GWS in RD 23. They could play and score 150 but there is also a massive chance of being rested before the first week of (real life) finals.

Stanton for me, bringing him in this week if all goes well. I’d also choose Jobe a close second, seems to be very consistent this year.

Bombres supporter by any chance? I guess you have Zaha, Hocking, Monfries, Melksham, Dyson, Wangeneen, Long & Ezzard just sneaking in behind those two as well. They are premiership favorites i suppose :roll:

Tough decision for me too.
Currently have Ablett, Selwood, Swan, Thompson.
Thinking it’s time to get in Pendles over the lot though.

I’ve got Pendles already as well.

MIDs are: Pendles, Thompson, Selwood, Mitchell, Goodes, Magner, Shiel, Adams.

Looking to move Goodes on of course.

Why trade Rockliff? He’s had double figures three times since the middle of last year, two of them were the last two weeks. My midfield is Ablett, Pendlebury, Watson, Boyd, Rockliff, Deledio, James McDonald & Kennedy, and Rockliff is the last player I’d think of trading. Unless he is carrying an injury?

I have Ablett, Murphy, Watson and Joelwood. I fall just short of doing the forward trades I wanted to so I will trade in a mid instead. I have the $$ for any mid and I don’t really give a stuff about the byes, with that in mind which mid would you choose that I don’t already have?
Swan, Pendles, Stants, JP, Thompson, etc.

Pendles and GAJ are still the best two midfielders going in SC and in the real stuff. Pies just starting to hit their straps too.

i know this is the wrong forum, but nothing for defenders are up yet, Broughton has ave 98.4 since every jumped off him at end of rnd 2. in that time, the people that you traded him for, what have they ave in the time?

Good point…. I enjoy reflecting actually ….

Mottsy we should have a segment where we look at the most popular trade perhaps 6-7 weeks down the track and see whether it was worth doing. (E.g -Broughton rd 3, Ablett rd 5 ,ruck strategy from start etc )

I kept him but was very close to going to Carazzo….the next friday night I was spewing I hadnt (130 against pies) by Saturday Broughton made me feel better again with a 115 by memory than the Saturday after that I was overly glad I hadnt ( injured)
Dempsey was the most popular pick and that hasnt been worth it.

Not sure who to upgrade in all honesty… Stanton won’t stay this cheap unless he stinks it up against the Tigers so I’d like to bring him in. Swap out Magner or Shiel in the guts or upgrade Kennedy? Thinking of upgrading Ellis as well but only Heath Shaw appeals at the minute. Ideally I would have traded Smedts by now for Sidebottom but the boy needs to play a bit more!

Rockliff is a few weeks from bottoming out and so is Marc Murphy so they’re on the radar come bye week trading time.

Each week I keep considering bringing in Stanton but then I keep thinking to myself surely he ant keep this up? Each week he prves me wrong. Then last week he goes and belts out 160+ thinking this week I might finally bring him in.

Already got a midfield of:

GAJ, Pendles, Murphy, Kennedy, Rockliff, Magner
(Goodes, Ledger)

Thinking of going:
IN: Stanton and Birchall
OUT: Goodes and Ellis
leaves $50K in the bank
