If your cash gen is good, then $100k is peanuts. There's also lots of solid premos plummeting in price.I just don't think its worth a trade for an extra 50 points or so. Otherwise, why not trade out every underperforming premo on their bye?
(Granted, I have Jackson to swing into R2, so benching Grundy just means I probably take Darcy Wilson's score instead this round)
Tho if you brought Grundy in at the start with the strategy of upgrading him at his bye once you have a bit more moolah, I kinda get it.
But conversely, the aim of the game at this point is surely to turn all those on-field rookies into premos as quick as possible, and unless you're gaining money by getting Meek or Xerri instead, trading out Grundy just slows that down?
You've glossed over the side improvement. Marshall might average 10-15 more than Grundy, plus the points you get this week. 50 points this week, 180 points over the year, that's 230 points over the season. That's thousands of spots.
If you go down to Xerri/Meek and they average similar to Grundy (which is very possible), then the extra cash may facilitate a premo upgrade (rookie to premo this week would again be 50+ points)
To dig deeper into the extra points this week, it looks like this:
Keep Grundy:
21 scorers, Howes, Carroll, HReid, Cadman, SDarcy
They could all score 30-60
Trade Grundy:
22 scorers, add Marshall who could score 130+
That's a lot of extra points...
Anyway it's a great topic for discussion.
