Trade Talk R15

by Motts on July 2, 2012

Unless you’ve been unlucky with injuries or are truly keeping your powder dry for Finals, the team must be looking almost perfect by now – no holes.

So are you intending on trading this week and if so, who do you like the look of?

Really thinking about bringing Cotchin in this week instead of Thompson. As a Tiger fan I have a massive man crush on this bloke, so why shouldn’t I bring my man in – with our draw too…

Thumbs up Cotch.
Thumbs down Thommo.

4 trades. 4 rookies, not including Zorko.
Saad, Giles, Clarke, and I need to play one of these guys – (Smedts, Crozier, Sexton – depending on who’s named and who the opponent is.)

I know Carrots is dirt cheap but I’ve got Scotland.
And I know Newman is but I’ve got Deledio + I’ve got 2 Bulldogs defender.

Who do I trade? Who to? How many trades do I need for finals? I’m 6th and a chance for 4th.

I’m thinking Clarke > Carrazzo and next week or in a few weeks -
Saad/Smedts/Crozier/Sexton > Goodes

That would leave my team like this -
Deledio, Goddard, Scotland, Carrazzo, Birchall, Murphy, Hargrave
(Morris, Wilkes)

Thompson, Selwood, Ablett, S Mitchell, Boyd, Priddis
(Horsley, Couch)

Cox, Giles
(Redden, Stephenson)

Franklin, Danerfield, Pavlich, Cloke, Goodes, Zorko, Saad/Smedts/Sexton/Crozier

Thanks for the heads up Joespoon. Handy to know that Sexton is gone for the season. As you say 156K is hardly worth the trade, however if you have a few remaining trades it is certainly worth getting a decent rookie in for him.

Planning on doing one trade this week, but I have two options.
Option 1:Ellis to Carrots (complete defence)
Option 2 Giles to Leigh Adams (via Roughy)

Carrots is the safe option but who knows how the Carlton train wreck will end? The Adams trade has more upside I think, The Kangas are hitting some form, Adams spending a lot of time in the middle and getting forward to kick goals, the Kangas only play 2 in the next 8 games away from Etihad. Adams has produced all season at Etihad and I think he would be a good point of difference.

I think I am starting to convince myself but I am still a little unsure. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers

Thumbs up – Carrots
Thumbs down – Adams

A South American based WC will certainly be stacked heavily towards one of their own winning it. Would be great if Spain & others could take it to Argentina and Brazil though. A cracking WC would be great as Italia 90 & Korea / Japan 2002 only outstanding ones in the past 20 years.

In the worst case scenario, if Shiel is out long-term, Goddard is suspended and Franklin out, here is my team and plan.

Def: Goddard, Scotland, Deledio, Broughton, M Johnson, Clarke, Golby,S Shaw, Ellis.
Mid: Ablett, Pendlebury, Swan, Priddis, Dal Santo, Shuey, Shiel, Crozier.
Ruck: Cox, Giles, Redden, Jenkins.
Forward: Franklin, Hale, Martin, Dangerfield, Zorko, Adams, Harvey, Tomlinson, Smedts.

I’ve got no cash and 8 trades so.
(Assuming Shiel is out long-term, Goddard is suspended and Franklin injured.)

Redden-Campbell.
Shiel-Carrazzo.

Swing Goddard into the mids.
Swing Johnson up forward via Tomlinson to defence.

Team:
Deledio, Scotland, Carrazzo, Broughton, Golby, Clarke, S Shaw, (Ellis), Tomlinson.
Ablett, Pendlebury??, Swan, Shuey, Dal Santo, Priddis, (Crozier), Goddard
Cox, Giles, Jenkins, Campbell.
Martin, Dangerfield, Hale, Zorko, Harvey, Adams, Johnson (Smedts), Franklin.

Next week I trade Ellis out allowing me to swing Goddard into defence, downgrade Tomlinson and bring Goodes in.

4 trades
Deledio, Goddard, Carrazzo, Scotland, Broughton, M Johnson, Clarke, Golby, S Shaw.
Pendlebury, Ablett, Swan, Shuey, Priddis, Dal Santo, Crozier, Adams/Rookie
Cox, Giles, Jenkins, Campbell
Martin, Franklin, Hale, Dangerfield, Zorko, Harvey, Goodes,Adams/Rookie,Smedts

Basically, next 3 weeks
Out:
Redden, (250k)
Golby(380k)
Ellis (280k)
Shiel(390k)
Giles. (380k)
Total:
In:
Campbell(95k)
Ryder(500k)
Carrazzo(440k)
Goodes(425k)
Undetermined Rookie.(@105k)

leaving me 3 trades and roughly 100k in the bank.

Still finetuning the exact prices et cetera

Shizza. Was going to go Clarke-Carrazzo and Giles-Cox this week but left $800 short by Giles dropping nearly $25,000.

Which is the better option:

T/U – Clarke-Carrazzo and next best RUCK – probably Ryder
T/D – Giles-Cox and next best DEF – probably Suckling

Sorry guys this is the better thread for this Q

My mids currently look like this;
Pendles, Thompson, Ablett, Masten, Barlow,
Priddis(old Mac,Zorko) who would you replace if I wanted to get Watson? Assuming that I won’t have enough cash trading old Mac.

I have six trades left and if i can find a decent downgrade for one of them then Mula shouldnt be a problem.I need the downgrade to be in the fwd line as I need to sub. Johnson from fwd to back and Carrazzo to go straight into the backline.That should fix my backs to look this
Backs ;Goddard , Lids, Hurn, Waters,Johnson,Carrazzo Burgoyne,Dempsey Sam Shaw
Centre;Pendles, Thompson, Ablett, Masten, Barlow,
Priddis(Old Mac,Zorko)
Rucks;Ryder Nic Nat Redden S. Rowe
Fwds;Franklin,Dangerfield, Sidebottom,J, Reiwolt,Pavlich,Hale,Porplzia,Crozier, Rookie downgrade.

Will be looking at trading Goodes in about 2 weeks for probably Zorko maybe Porps.

7 trades left, 99k in bank – thinking Ibbotson to Carrazo this week and then once goddard comes back and after marty clarke gains price again downgrade to def/mid and swaping goddard to defence?

Mids are complete

Forward line is shithouse, considering going Dickson into Lewis this week and then Porps into Goodes next week or do I hold fire and just go Dickson or Porps straight into sideass next week

Dickson into Lewis this week is a great plan. Then Porps into Goodes but in 2 to 3 weeks time would my suggestion. Goodes has another couple of price drops whilst Porps will go up for 2 weeks after his ton last weekend. Could be a very small changeover.

I was going to upgrade Ellis to Carrots, but I got Milera to upgrade, and his breakeven is way higher than Ellis’s. But before all that, I probably will downgrade Giles to someone like Pattison, then upgrade Milera to Hale, then Hale would be insurance in the rucks. From this I would have 154 k remaining with 5 trades to go, to upgrade 2 more defensive positions.

There is footage of it Fish, but it’s from behind Wright, so you can see Goddard thrusting his arm into Wright’s head/throat/chest area. Wright then goes down, and is seen minutes later on the boundary trying to catch his breath.

Not sure that a mid-pricer is going to do enough for you to catch up but if you’ve decided to go that way have a look at Hibberd. Gives you an extra $28k (might help) and if you take out his injury affected game and his first game back he has averaged 94.

Still think you’d be better off downgrading Edwards or Treloar so you can get a genuine gun.

Ellis seems to have pretty good JS. Clarke would probably average more, but may be in and out + more money in the bank if you trade him & he would be expensive if just used for bench cover.

So trade Clarke to Carrots & keep Ellis if he will only be used as bench cover.

Clarke proved a point on the w/e with a VFL BOG w/ 30+ and 2 goals. Ellis may be rested, 1st season. But cash in the big coin, you only need a heartbeat on the def bench.

gonna stick with bugg to carrazzo this week, leaves me 151k and 1 trade left. Only rookie/dud left is jeremy cameron, will see what i can do in a few weeks. hoping danger has some kind of absolute shocker to go along with his high b/e and drops enough but i doubt it.

Team almost complete, I have two trades left, with weakness in back and ruck, I was hoping Giles would turn out to be a keeper, but not looking good, so
Nick Nat, Redden and Orren +
Giles to Roughhead = thumbs up (Got a good feeling about Roughy, especially if he has to pick up the slack this week with Buddy most likely out. )
Giles to Ryder = Thumbs down
or
Whack in a dud to put another gun into back which currently carries 3 not so much cash cows – Shaw, Delaney and Darley = Comment

Am currently leading 3 of 4 leagues and 4th in cash league, seperated by percentage only.

Any suggestions will be appreciated gents, 2nd year in and hopefully will be able to really contribute to the community next year with a bit more experience.

Toying with the idea to get Carrazzo and Hurley in, like a bird of prey…

Sorry but I have to get this out there. I wish I went with my gut feelings preseason. Had Sidebottom & Hurley in, took them out because I doubted myself. Chose Cox over NicNat, couldn’t decide between Pendles and Swan but would’ve been fine had he not broken his leg (must have helped Swans recent scores a teeny bit but not a lot), not going Clarke over Guthrie, writing Deledio off for his non appearance within the preseason, not considering Watson who could easily be in the top 3 for the Browlow if not leading the count.. Bleughhhh #FMSCT

That said of these who I *have* got in I’m really pleased with, just sucks I had to use a trade or two in doing so to get the blokes I should have backed from the start. Going to try and think outside the square next year and back myself instead of baa-ing like a sheep.

Apologies. I’m sulking from yesterday’s result and it’s rubbed off on my day today.

clarkes going to be losing money fast soon, the dpp with mid to def is tempting but horsely is more likely to increase in price.
Also look at it like this.. moving horsley would put you with zorko on the bench and carrazzo and clarke on the field. whereas moving clarke leaves you with zorko and carrazzo starting with horsley on the bench… zorko>>>clarke

So now I need to find a cheap downgrade option for either Magner or Pfeiffer. So are there any cheap downgrade options in the mid/fwd that have good JS??

Thoughts on these trades? I’ve got no cash on the bench so to upgrade Giles I need to downgrade elsewhere.

I need to get Swan but funds very low (as are trades). My plan is thus:

N Riewoldt -> Cheap Ass Mid/Fwd player (probably Tom Couch)
Zorko moves from the Mids to replace N Riewoldt to become a starting Forward.
J Mac -> Swan + $100K in loose change.

N Riewoldt in hindsight was a bad trade, he looks injured and when the Saint’s give up the finals dream he will be put out to surgery/pasture.

This round- Mcdonald to Murdoch, Giles/Malceski to Maric/any defender
Next round- Horsely to a rookie, T.Adams to Pendlebury

Leaves me with 2 trades. Is that too risky? It does get me Maric and Pendles…

Apparently Connors has been sacked. Dusty has been suspended, but not sure for how long. Any more than 4 weeks and I’m trading him to Carrots.

Not bad Juddy, 2 mega bets failed by one game each (by a couple of points for Pies and Cats), but managed to turn $50 >> $186 on the safe bet and put a sneaky $10 on the Roos to win at $3.10. How about you?
