Trade Talk R18, 2013

Written by Motts on July 22 2013

There’s a few big names to consider booting this week: Nic Nat heads the list with what is reportedly OP, Bartel may be facing some time on the pine courtesy of the MRP, B Goodes with a broken Warwick Farm and what are you gonna do if Buddy doesn’t get named?

Let’s talk.

  1. Probably deal with the Goodes situation so looking like

    Out Goodes & Rowe
    In Shaw & McBean

    Can then hopefully loophole Cox/Nic Nat to limit their damage

  2. Do think it is worth using a trade to drop hartlett or Monfries and get someone in good form like Henderson or J.Lewis. I can afford anyone up to 471,000. Just wondering about everyone’s opinion.

    Also what do you think about playing staker over monfries.

  3. Don’t have NicNat, traded out Buddy on the weekend, and Staker can cover Bartel. Goodes jr is my only major worry. Thinking of either Heppell or Mckenzie. McKenzie doesn’t have an as high ceiling as Heppell, but is more consistent.

    Cox has been struggling also, so hoping he is not carrying anything. Did a lot of work early in the year, so maybe he is just tiring. 🙁

  4. Need to offload Goodes – absolute killer with only two trades left.

    Back line is currently:

    Goddard, Gibbs, Hanley, Heppell, McKenzie, (Clisby, Thurlow)

    Have around 100k in the bank, so thinking Shaw might be the way to go. Anyone have any particular thoughts on who might be a better choice? No realy consistency in the defenders at the moment, so I’ve figured I may as well just grab the bloke with the highest ceiling and hope he fires at the right times.

    Also carrying Dangerfield (Mitchell as coverage) and NicNat/Cox, who I’m starting to think will be better covered by Nicholls and Staker each week…as long as Stevie J doesn’t have another brain fade and mess with my forward coverage.

  5. Ok … I have Bartel and Buddy in the Fwd line
    Danger and Shuey in the Mids
    Nic Nat (with minson and Nichols) in the Ruck

    and 3 trades!

    Up till now Watson was my only really enforced trade, as had been happy to sit on Danger given shuey was meant to be cover.

    Was thinking Danger and Buddy out, Selwood and Roughy in … 1 trade left

    Or Shuey for JPK, Buddy for Roughy … and sit on Danger

    Suggestions??

  6. Argh Goodes, has been an absolute champion this year. Going to need to burn the 3rd last trade. Stevie J will come back for Bartel and hope Danger returns early.
    Got Motts in SCT1 league so plenty on the line!

  7. Okay guys, Quick poll
    Do you think T.Nicholls is good enough as a R2 going into finals??
    T/U – Yes, back the young gun in to average 90+
    T/D – Too risky, have to get a premium for him
    Thanks everyone 🙂

  8. Here is info for those asking about Bartel (from AFL site)

    Geelong’s shock loss to Adelaide would be compounded by a suspension to Bartel for a high tackle on Adelaide rookie Rory Laird in the second quarter at AAMI Stadium.

    Laird had his head over the ball when an upright and almost stationary Bartel made high frontal contact. Laird was substituted out of the match with concussion.

  9. Option 1: Goodes to X. Richards (providing a loophole option) and Kommer to Selwood (T/U)

    Option 2: Goodes to X. Richards and J. Longergan (from gold coast) to Cotchin (T/D)

  10. No trades for me. I’ve got 4 left and will save them for LTI’s. If I get through to the SC finals with 4 still remaining i’ll tweak with the team then.

  12. Do I:

    T/U Trade Goodes straight to Heppel/Shaw

    T/D Trade Goodes, swing Staker take the cash (this will leave me with no bench cover in FWDS as I have Daniher and would trade for someon like McBean)

  13. Was doing research yesterday for B.Goodes successor as D6. Swinging Staker into the spot an option, but Lachie Henderson certainly a viable option as completes all possible DPP links to avoid 0’s in finals.

    My concern for Lachie Henderson was whether he only scored well when J.Waite was out of the team. I was pleased to see that his figures are probably better when Waite does play:-
    65, 72, 42, 69, 80, 113*, 111, 110*, 68*, 108*, 106*, 54*, 95*, 70**, 125, 110
    * shows games when Waite also played. ** Waite got injured in 1st qtr.
    Waite played only 8 (7 full) out of 16 games & Henderson has scored 4 tons in his 7 full games.
    Taking out his first 5 games (when Carlton were not winning), he has produced 7 tons from his last 11 games.
    Still not 100% i will get him in, however with a low BE and his current form, link with Staker & Carlton unlikely to rest as they chase for top 8 spot he is certainly a relevant option.

  14. Goodes —-> Hanley
    Hrovat ——> Griffen

    Too easy this week, just hope keeping Danger pays off, need him first week of finals. 3 trades left with finalised team, cross fingers no more LTIs.

  15. I’ll probably hold fire this week but a few issues in BGoodes, Nic Nat, Cox and Dangerfield.

    Would love to move Nic Nat on but thinking Goodes is the priority given he’s out for the season. What’s everyone’s thoughts:

    T/U – do something about Goodes
    T/D – do something about Nic Nat

  16. Traded out Goodes leaving me with 2 trades. Was thinking of getting Barlow but then I would only have 1 trade. Mitchell, O’Meara and Arnot are my MID rookies.
    T/U: Keep MItchell/O’Meara on field and save a trade until finals.
    T/D: Trade in Barlow now.

    I have about 160k in the bank

  18. last week it was stevie j and buddy, this week bartel- can’t get my forward line all on the field at the same time…… ! hoping buddy is named this week, if so
    i’ll use nicholls as R2 and shift cox into the forwards as cover for bartel. if not i’ll have to choose between rowe and lee as F6 to cover him as well……..

  19. I have a must win game, I have 5 trades and 496k in the bank. this is my team, what moves people. Im thinking Gorringe up to Kruser, then maybe stanton/murphy to griffen but both players have a great record against the opposition. (All this depends on selection)

    Goddard,Hanley,Hartlett,H Shaw, Gibbs, Staker

    Ablett, Pendlebury, J Selwood, Deledio, Swallow, Priddis, Stanton, Murphy

    Roughead, Nicholls

    Walker, Cox, Martin, Rockliff, Franklin, Nic Nat

    Bench – Hutchins, Clisby, T Mitchell, Arnot, Currie, Gorringe, B Kennedy, T Lee

  20. Trading out Goodes and with 465k available, the two main options are:

    T/U: Ibbotson
    T/D: McKenzie

    Current backline of Goddard, Hanley, Enright, Gibbs, Shaw (Staker, Colhoquon).

    Cheers in advance.

  21. Final Mids are set as – Gaj, Pendles, Swan, JPK, Griffen, Barlow, Cotchin and Stevie J. With Danger on the bench so Stevie moves forward when he returns.
    Thoughts?
    Barlow and Griffen are my two ins for this round.

  22. It seems as though whenever a Geelong player does something little they get reported, whenever a hawthorn player does something they never get reported. How Cornes got reported the other week is beyond me.

  23. Don’t know whether to trade buddy this week or wait until more is known of his injury. Have 2 trades remaining.

    T/U – Trade Buddy now!
    T/D – Wait for more news

  25. Goodesy is the main headache this week for me and I’ve got no choice but to use one of the two trades I have left.

    T/U – Goodes > Hanley

    T/D – Goodes > Walker (swinging Staker back)

  27. Been away the last couple of weeks so struggled over the last few rounds to keep up with late outs, emergency loophole, captain loophole etc. but all in all haven’t done to badly, siting around 1100 in the ranks, and in a comfortable ladder position in my leagues.

    Anyways, I was looking to trade out Zorko last week but decided to give him one last chance, now thinking its time for him to go, what do you think?

    Thumbs up- Keep him
    Thumbs down- Time to go

  28. 2 trades left and $40,400 in the bank playing for a league win. Do I….

    T/U – Trade Goodes to McKenzie this round

    T/D – Play Staker on the ground over the next 2 weeks and wait until finals to offload Goodes

  29. I’ve got just about nothing in the bank and need a replacement for goodes.
    Only the 4 trades left also but I have Houli on the bench as well.
    Backline currently:
    Goddard, Hibberd, Shaw, Gibbs, Murphy, Goodes (Houli, Clisby)
    I’m struggling to find some solid replacements.
    If I should trade, I could downgrade to Ricky Henderson (1 trade).
    The other option is to swing Staker into the backline, trade goodes out for gia and then franklin to cloke.

    T/U -> 1 trade (goodes – henderson)
    T/D -> 2 trades (goodes – giansiracusa, franklin -> cloke)
    I only threw the franklin thing in there cause I need to get rid of him too. Both are technically one trade.

  30. I’ve had Goodes in mid for the past 2 weeks. I can swing him out for a premium mid rather than def with the cash i have banked. Only trading for injuries at the moment with 4 left. Hanging onto Dangerfield for another few weeks with Hrovat as cover.

    Current Def:
    Goddard Gibbs Hanley Shaw Heppel Ibbotson (clisby, wilson)

    Current Mid
    Abblet Swan Pendles Dangerfield Priddis Fyfe Selwood Goodes (hrovat, jack.b)

    TU – Goodes to Griffin
    TD – Goodes to Barlow

  31. Who should I trade in for Goodes?
    T/U: McKenzie
    T.D: Hanley

    Only real worry about Hanley is that he is playing Geelong at SS in the SC grand final. Mckenzie alot more consistant vs Hanley higher ceiling.

  32. miss out on going goodes to enright by 5k 🙁
    Would going Trent Mckenzie be the next best option at that price range?

    TU: yes
    TD: other options

  33. Hey guys got a buddy dilemma.
    I’m not sure who to get for buddy and with my salary cap he will be at 491k when traded.
    Main candidates:
    Seriously looking at n roo, pat ryder, and also jjk (though not too keen on him as I dropped him for d martin a few rounds ago)
    Outside options:
    David hale (in past seasons he has finished with a bang), cyril, (discounted star) and cloke (consistency is shocking, though)
    Please help out guys.
    Oh yeah, 3 trades left.

  34. Hey guys (again),
    Should I get rid of nic nat?
    With 3 trades left and 20k in the bank I could go nic to simpson (cash cow) and then have goldy and nicholls as r1 and r2 respectively. Otherwise I could get in someone like ryder or maric and have them at r2 with nicholls on the bench. Nic nat is plummeting in price and I think he needs to go.

    T/U – trade him he’s useless
    T/D – keep, he will come good

    Thanks

  35. Hanley’s injury has made trading Goodes a priority. With 5 Trades and $39, 700 remaining, I’ve done a straight swap: Goodes – Trent McKenzie.

    This means my backs are: Goddard, Gibbs, Heppell, Duffield, McKenzie, X Richards (Webster, Hanley)

    And my Forwards:
    Bartel, Martin, Rockliff, Cox, Staker, Zorko (Franklin, Lamb)

    I can swing Staker and Richards back and forth to make use of the loophole etc.

    If Webster kills it this week, Staker will stay up forward.
    If he doesn’t, Staker swings back.

    Thumbs up: Good trade.
    Thumbs down: Needs more.
