no trades for me. i have hall, ball and tippett but don’t see the need to get rid of any yet. the season is young and two bad games doesn’t make a season.
adelaide have lost two games so tippett will do doubt improve as they start winning games. ball and hall are still finding their feet in their new teams. i think all three will be ok.

I don’t think so, mate. The only ones I would consider are Clark and Tippett and they’re both healthy and capable of a hell of a lot better.
I’m also looking at the first opponent in my primary league (the one I’ve paid an entry fee for – not the League of Extraordinary Coaches) and he’s made the ridiculously, breathtakingly audacious move of slotting six (6) rookies into his midfield. He’ll be a handful later on but right now I should be able to take him without breaking a sweat.

Right now, Tippett is a forward who can’t mark or a ruck who gets soundly beaten.
If I was his real coach, I’d be excited about his potential and confident he’ll come good by Round 7 and lead the Crows towards the 8. But I’m not. And I’m not going to carry his sub-50 ass through 5 or 6 rounds and watch his price plummet.
Come team announcements, he’s gone. Seaby’s in.
That’s not rocket surgery.
Hall is the tricky one. Barry, Barry, Barry. He’s on tender-hooks.

I’ll start a new comment thread. Sorry, when I said he had 6 rookies, I meant he has 6 rookies ON THE FIELD and another 2 on the bench so all up he has 8 in the midfield. They are: Barlow, Connors, Martin, Shuey, Banner, Trengove, Moles, and Scully. All have played and all bar Scully (42) are averaging above 50 a game.
He has another 4 rookies in his team to make a total of 12 and according to Psyche Out he has $1.6m in the bank! As I said, he’s going to be a freaking handful later on, I’m just thanking the SC Gods that they’ve scheduled our match-up in R4.

To paraphrase John Lennon: “all we are saying, is give Tippy a chance”. 2 bad games doth not a bad season make.
If I haven’t talked you out of trading yet though, consider this pearl of wisdom that came from a very knowledgeable, SC-loving friend of mine I had lunch with today after I told him I had Naitanui in the ruck: don’t pick back-up ruckmen. So my advice to you is: if you’re going to trade for a Sydney ruckman, get Seaby.

I’m going to trade hall > ballantyne , tippett > brown. Brown will be too damn expensive otherwise. My team isn’t scoring well enough and I see those two as the major under achievers crippling my forward line output and losing me money. I realise that trades are finite but look at it this way; I was never going to keep tippett all season, but Brown will be up there alongside Riewoldt till the end (barring injury, of course). Hall was a gamble who isn’t paying off. Ballantyne is a forward line cash cow. I see it as a win/win.
And, next time Brown demolishes the blues I won’t feel so goddamn awful about it.

BROWN in for Medhurst (my forwards looked a bit weak! but Brown definetly strengthens it up)

Is it worth 1 trade trading Ball out for Cooney?
Is Ballantyne or Dangerfield better or even Ebert?
Is Tippet/Hall worth keeping?
Is it worth 1 trade trading Hille out for Seaby?
Like or Dislike:

Ill answer this Td:
1. YES (Cooney is a proven genuine star, Ball is Not as yet)
2. DANGERFIELD (has more potential – as seen on the weekend)
3. TIPPET – NO/ HALL – YES (better value out there than Tippett and he’s playing in a crap team)
4. NO – Hille will come around

All good questions Td – to be honest its all up to you I reckon mate. They all sound good on current form. But in 4 weeks from now Ball might be playing like a gun and Cooney like a little ginger school girl. Same with tippet and hall. Either could explode at any time and get huge scores. I guess any trades you do now are really all about getting on someone before their price explodes (eg Barlow)

What do people think of this:
I am considering taking out Clark for Seaby now – yes he may improve (as a Lions Supporter, I certainly hope so!!) – but if Seaby keeps his value up, I can trade for Clark/Sandilands – whichever I feel is better after rounds 12 or so – if Clark improves again it’ll cost me two trades but should make some money off of it, but if he doesn’t then I have Sandilands (was considering starting with Sandialands and Seaby, went with Clark, Hille instead.
I am likewise ready to pounce on Tippett/Cox from Hille if/when they improve.

I love reading all these people wanting or thinking of trading Ball, Hall and Tippett… they were always going to be risks IMO and everyone fell into the going well in preseason stat.
Ball especially he is a proven non supercoach performer but everyone seems to have fallen for him AGAIN! He use of the football is terrible which is no good in supercoach.
Tippett is going to be a good player but is still raw and too inconsistent IMO, not ready to whip the supercoach world into a frenzy just yet.
I guess Hall was the one that at the price you had to try and capitlize from, stick with him I’d say and hope that he improves but he isn’t going to average 100 for you if that’s what you were hoping.
Ball = gone
Tippett = Keep (only because why waste a trade so early on) and DPP
Hall = keep, hopefully he’ll come good and make you a little cash and later in the year you can move him on.
Remember trades are to be used very wisely at this time of year no knee jerk reactions…

Not to keen on using a trade just yet but there is one (and only one) that I am considering,
Brent Harvey OUT, Jono Brown IN
Did Harvey have a real bad one or at 32 has the game caught up with him and he is no longer the player he once was and currently big JB is at the peak of his powers and with this sort of form we won’t see his price stay anywhere that level for the rest of the year.
Thoughts???

Boomer is past it. He will be reduced to a tagging role for the remainder of the 2010 season if his new coach has enough influence on the team to achieve a sensible result. He is a good tagger, but the Roos need to work on its other mids and use Boomer for what he is still ok at – nullifying a star.
Johno Brown will win the Brownlow and the Coleman this year. Put $20 on that and thank me later.

It’s not just me – it’s Gerard Healy, Steven Quartermain, Malcolm Blight and James Hird. I watched all of the commentary shows over the weekend and they all agreed Harvey should have been pushed into a tagging role for that game, and comments were made by some of them that he should be considered in that role from now on because his leg speed and skills aren’t what they used to be.

As for the Brownlow…. http://www.smh.com.au/afl/afl-news/brown-approaches-the-throne-of-king-carey-20100403-rkyf.html
Even umpires read the paper. And they can see it better than ever thanks to their new sponsor!
The Coleman is definitely up in the air (obviously), but I’m comfortable with my call. Brown for the Coleman and the Brownlow.

As a player, your first price change occurs after you’ve played 3 games so for the majority of players that will be this week.
For Mark McVeigh, if he doesn’t play this week and comes back and plays Rounds 4 and 5, it won’t be until after Round 5 because he missed the first week through suspension. By that time a good performing rookie will have had 2 price rises. Is anyone else thinking what I’m thinking?

Brennan will be released into the midfield this year. Two performing ruckman (yes, Clark is a permorming ruckman even though his SC scores are scummy) means he doesn’t need to pinch-hit in the ruck as he did last year, reducing his ability to float at the back of the pack and scoop up the loose ball. Power is conserving his legs a little more and I reckon will be a small forward next year, meaning this is Brennan’s big chance to become Brisbane’s premium mid.
Byrnes could well be a surprise package. I agree, he’s risky. Chappie and Johnson are their best small forwards, but Byrnes has to be right up there I reckon. He has won the last 2 games for them…

Barring any injury concerns before the weekend, i’ve decided to trade Tippett for Kreuzer as my number one ruck. Thoughts anyone??

My thoughts are I am making the same trade. Team is doing alright, have scored 2270 and 2040 but Tippett is killing me. I know he is healthy but I don’t want his price to plummet. I will also trade to get Barlow in, too much of a cash cow to miss out on. I’ll make 2 trades this week, first ones for the year, and then hope to be able to sit back for a few weeks. Most of the bench are firing which is great.
