Pre-Lockout Trade Talk

Written by Duck on May 4 2012

Will Nic Nat miss? What to do with Krooz? Ablett?!?

R6 Lockout is still a few hours away, if you’re anything like me you’re still tweaking your team. Here’s the place to chat about last minute trade advice and anything else you feel is relevant.

  2. I went Ablett to Pendles and Fyfe to Steviej

    Very risky in picking up Steviej but I feel he can turn it around and be in the top 10 forwards end of year. Thats the hope anyway

    Backline is: BJ Goddard, Scotland, Malceski, Dempsey, Lake, M.Clarke, Conca, Elis, Bugg
    Thumbs up: Upgrade Conca to premo
    Thumbs Down: Spend money somewhere else

  4. In my main team I have already made this weeks trades to stem the bleeding and will wait on next weeks prognosis on Ablett before deciding on the pull of the trigger. If Ablett is toast then will probably bring in Swan or Pendles on a straight swap then do a double the following week to bring in the other of the 2 or Kennedy.

    My SCTTL team it will be a trade of Ablett and Coniglio to 2 of the following 3 Pendles, Swan or Kennedy. Lucky for you Motts that I am doing this next week and not this week hey big boy. Congratulations on your win this week against me (Squirelly Wrath).

  5. Only get rid of ablett IF you intend to save the cash and bring him back in a month.

    I think he will miss 2 weeks but will take 2 weeks more to get back to his best.

  7. For me it’s Ablett out and Cotchin in! Gives me a heap of change and also works with my bye strategy. Really didn’t want to get rid of him but way to much money sitting on the bench especially as there was no confirmation on when he’s back. Maybe 2-4 weeks! Not willing to chance it.

  9. Mc Kenna FFS didnt you think to make the little master go for a run yesterday to see how he pulls up today????

    Now he is going for his run today when will we know how his knee has pulled up….

    Most would agree if he plays against GWS – keep

    If longer ( not the lions type ) – trade……

  10. I know people usually criticise SC gold and say how shit it is, but it’s only $20 and i’d like to be able to see the little green dots next to each players names to know that they are more than likely playing, i hate going through the ins and outs each week just make sure i’m fielding a full team. Also i would like the SC gold break evens, cause when i did the trial i noticed a variation in them. Anyways i would just like to do a quick poll and see if people who have bought it, would suggest it. Cheers

    thumbs up – got it and love it
    thumbs down – got it and i want my $20 back

  11. Tossing up who to trade for Fyfe –
    Sidebum, MitchyRobi, StevieJ, Dusty Martin, Whitecross, Cyril, ROK, or Chapman

    Leaning towards one of the last two from a value, DPP, and track record perspective
    Also, only have 492k to spend and would like to leave some coin in the bank.

    Thumbs up – ROK
    Thumbs Down – Chapman

    Thanks

  13. Last Poll for me hopefully, who would you guys take out of these 3 guys if you had to have one.

    Thumbs up- David Zaharakis

    Thumbs down- Allen Christensen

    Comment- Ryan O’Keefe

    Obviously I would save more money going Christensen instead of O’Keefe but can still afford all three easily.

    Thanks guys

  18. Oh how the SC gods have not been kind this year!
    I have Ablett, Kruezer, Sandi, Fyfe and then also A Treloar, D Smith, A Hall, J Redden ALL OUT and then with injury clouds/late withdrawals possibilities over Malceski, Dempsey and Porp! And Bower the sack is on extended bench!

    I have to trade out Fyfe and Kruezer I think. Keep Ablett for now…..otherwise I cop a doughnut in rucks and FWDS!

    What do people think of
    Fyfe > Chapman
    Kroooz > McIntosh

  20. Just went Ablett-Goodes and Ledger-Zaharakis.

    Good to get rid of a non-playing rookie and gives me 2 DPP options in my Mids. And both Goodes and Zaha will eventually be moved into my Fwds to allow room for Ablett to return and the likes of Swan/Murphy down the track.

    Had been agonising all week over these trades but feeling quite content now its done. Nonetheless, keen to hear others thoughts?

  21. I went Ablett to Kennedy then swapped Fyfe into the midfield and swapped him for Pendles.

    Now the midfield is awesome! Pendles, Swan, Murphy, J. Kennedy, S. Selwood, J. McDonald (Magnar, L. Brown)

    My forward line is a bit of a shambles though.

    A huge risk here if Phieffer and D. Smith don’t make the teams because I’ll be 2 down. Should I stick to it or play it safe and bring in someone like Sidebottom, Zaka or Beams so I have cover in the forward line?

  22. I’ve traded Krooz to Maric – hating his recent 60’s and just can’t sit back and cop the donut….plus I’m looking forward to wathcing Tigers game and following that mullet around. Expect for round 2 against Pies (67) he’s averaging the ton…risky but gotta have a crack because my team looks all too familar to others.

    Also, moved Devon Smith on for Zaha…already have Bundy and Danger and reckon Zaha will average close to Frontbum for the rest of the year and he’s at a discount…also wanted the DPP link.

    Keeping Yablett. Magner is my M6 so can cover for a couple more weeks and reckon he’ll be on the park against GWS regardless.

  23. Coming off a 1781, hopefully two rookies out for Pendles and Sidebottom can bring me up to a respectable score!

  24. Have to hold Ablett for at least another two weeks. Will kick myself if I trade he comes back and then watch on the sidelines as he racks up huge scores again. Even prepared to drop a game or two and will save two valuable trades. Plenty of other problems to deal with in the meantime eg rucks

  25. The Casserole Kids are down to 18 trades left already, and I’m looking at a doughnut up front this weekend. I also have Ledger wasting away on my bench doing absolutely f@#k all.
    My question is, is it worth using another trade to avoid the doughnut and get rid of Ledger?

    Thumbs up, do it, trade Ledger —> Pfeffier and swing him up front

    Thumbs down, not worth it. Hold Ledger and cop the doughnut.

  32. http://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/a/-/breaking/13595080/fresh-blood-for-the-eagles/

    I know it is the eternal optimist in me but I think I’m gonna call shenanigans on this one. Scott very non-committal on whether Goldie will play (he will play) and I think Woosha might have just thrown this one in there to screw Scott’s head.

    Can’t see why he would all of a sudden pop up in the rehab group when there hasn’t even been a whisper of a limp.

  33. Ablett >> Kennedy
    Smith >> Lewis

    (C) Murphy
    (VC) Kennedy

    1 fwd doughnut unless Dickson gets hauled off the bench.

    Thought about keeping Smith and trading out Hall instead (to cover the doughnut) but i didn’t like the players available at the 420K price point.

  44. whats ur thoughts on darling, i’m not one to pick mid pricers but he has cracked the ton on all but one game, he doesnt need to pick up massive amount of possessions to hit the ton (avg 15 disposals a game) he picks up his points in tackles and his good for a couple goals a game and he is 100k cheaper than the bum. i also think he is gonna love being the number 1 target for the eagles.

  55. Didn’t know where to post this (or whether you guys have already discussed this today) but on SEN they said that they will probably rest 3votesC.Judd every 6 weeks this year. I know most of if not all of you have gone Smurf over him but for the few that have him I thought they may like to be ‘advised’ of this. Apologies if it’s already been mentioned.
