Tech League Trade Talk

Written by JimmyDee on April 4 2021

Injury crisis upsets trade plans!

Monday brings the round to an end with most of us still having four Hawks to round out our week. We’ll review the final result a bit later.

Tech Leaguers certainly took some hits this round, both on the scoreboard and the injury fronts. Sub 40 scores from Prestia, Campbell, Powell and Rowe weren’t on the wish list. The last three being rookies and still with cash to make should get another guernsey or two until they fatten.

However, with what looks like serious injuries to Witts and Prestia, flicking discussions are set to take place. Did you already upgrade, or do you have a bank to replace one or both of these gents?

With Witts looking to dump about 15k can you afford the minimum bank of roughly $157k to upgrade to the cheapest of Grawndy, or $245k to the dearest.

What is your side going to look like without the Human Meatball, and are you considering other changes, or did this stuff all that up for you?

Let’s get the discussion happening and give away your trade secrets!!

  1. Double downgraded to Warner and Jordan this week to build a cash flow side early. Probably good thing now as I have over $450k plus Prestia and Witts to try and sort out a ruck solution first and foremost, then a mid replacement.

    Has to be one of Grawndy so need to decide if cash wins out or not. Depends on trade two. Looking at Brayshaw as his price won’t change and I think this week was an aberration.

  2. So far my outs have been:
    Witherden
    Higgins
    Tyson
    Neale

    And my in are:
    Ziebell
    Warner
    Macrae
    Jordon

    I have $817,000 in the bank. Used 4 trades of course. Tech league goes through trades fast, just part of the challenge.

    Was already planning to trade Witts to Grundy and Caldwell to Ridley, and see no reason to change those plans so far. Although Ridley may have gone to be too expensive, have to think on that.

    Am kicking myself for bringing in Macrae too soon, should have gone to Grundy or Ridley and waited on him but I was seduced by the one game hope of him as VC v North, which given the Grundy VC option was silly.

    I went through and looked, and it turns out of the 41 teams in the group, 40 of them kept Neale. I was the one who didn’t. It is certainly possible that means at the end of the season the rest of the group will get to point and laugh, but what the heck! I suppose it just extends the whole Priest and Flock metaphor….

    1. Sounds reasonable.

      Yes, Ridley has gone up, but realistically you have only missed one cash growth cycle on Ridley and dodged much greater losses on Neale.

      Would you consider Cumming, Bowes, or Markov?

      1. Yes, and I will be researching them and probably many others before I make a final decision.

  3. ‘Morning all,

    My move that backfired was taking Brayshaw over Dunkley and Capt. him. (@#$&*)!!!

    ……is that laughter I can hear in the background?

    Yes Father, i’m sure at some stage we’ll all do something that backfires LOL…..but I foresee maybe Gawn and Dunkley as your new recruits (??)….whereas my pennies might be a little short if Witts and Prestia drop in value.
    …..ahhh the fun of the SCTTT Comp…….why is it I’ve now got this urge to go and watch the “Titanic”…..could it be the violin music it’s famous for? LALOL!!

  4. Witts to Grundy will leave me approx $100k left over to trade Prestia with. Not many options but pretty sure whoever I bring in at that price point will be a good POD.

  5. My trade outs have been
    Danger, Witherden, Buckley & Caldwell

    Trades in have been:
    Dusty, Laird, Warner & Jordon.

    Witts > Grundy next week and upgrade Prestia for around 530k. Wish I had traded Danger > Dunkley instead of Dusty, but still early days

  6. The players my Dads team has brought in, is Ziebell, Jordon, Williams and Hind. Neale and Danger have been left in the team as trades need to he saved somehow and the premiums started with are to be accepted whether they are liked or not.

    Caldwell and Witherden are gone as they won’t play for a while it seems, whereas Tyson and Buckley didn’t look to be supercoach relevant, but this week Buckley had a good game, so that may be the 1st mistake. 250k itb for Prestia/Witts trades and it appears Grundy will likely enter the team
