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?
If your cash gen is good, then $100k is peanuts. There's also lots of solid premos plummeting in price.

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.

How will Marshall score if they bring Campbell in to give him a chop out though?
 
The only concern is Reeves coming in. If Reeves was injured then we'd all get Meek. Scored 100+ both times he played without Reeves last year.

I don't trust Sam Mitchell enough to do it, so it's a no from me.

Reeves played horribly the first 2 weeks and even his game vs box hill was fairly pitiful if we being honest

I cant see Reeves coming in while his playing this well, especially given Meek can get a chop out from Chol/Ramma/Lewis on the regular

His scoring history as a solo ruck speaks for itself

P.S he only hangs around until we can get English

So where do we stand on Flanders?

My easy trade is Jordan to Flanders Howes to Clohsey. He should be able to continue scoring well at half back but it does seem somewhat risky paying 550k for one sample size

Ps Grundy to Xerri two weeks ago was the move :moustache:

He has scored 4 tons from 4 games and his role just got better.

He is a clear standout F2 in my opinion and with the lack of forward premos as it is, you’d be a madman to not get him

Anyone considering JHF

Looked amazing the 2 games his played but worried about him getting stuck in a forward pocket....

He is far better then wines imo but i just dont trust ken...

I was considering but he ain’t a top 8 mid. If he is guaranteed DPP I’d take him, but with the amount of mids port have, especially with wines coming back I think I’ll pass.

Yeah that's a slight concern, but he didn't play at all last year. Might be Ross just rambling and talking shit. I reckon he wants to win games and try make finals. He's got Owens/King/Membrey/Caminiti who can support RoMa.

Strongly. We all agree he's going to be a superstar. Oliver and Bont went 100+ in season 2. Other young guns often go 100+ in season 4. Not sure if there are many examples of 100+ in season 3, but it's certainly possible. Is he about to breakout? We'll see...

I think he can be a M8 keeper, 105 average or so. Port's fixture is a joke, they'll finish top 2 with so many wins. I think he'll get KOTD too, because he looks so good and makes big plays.

Because Wines and JHF have such low TOG, and Butters and Rozee have such good forward craft, I think they can easily rotate 5 players with their CBAs.
 
Personally I'm looking to trade Grundy for a couple reasons. The main reason being I dont think he is a keeper. So do I trade up or down? Well, I could trade up to english but I see another player I really want on another line - Heeney. So down it is. Meek seems he safest downgrade. Bank the cash and trade to Heeney next week.

Now, I wouldn't be trading Grundy IF there were other great trade options to gain cash but beyond Howes > Clohesy I don't see any. I think it's a week to get a bit creative given there aren't really any bubble options and there aren't any guns that are so cheap and scream 'pick me'

So for me, I'm trading to avoid having to boost next round (I may anyway, but I won't 'need to') and to generate some cash for upgrade season. To be specific, to get cash for Heeney.

Trading Grundy comes with risk, maybe he comes back and goes at 115+ and becomes a keeper but currently English and Marshall seem like the best options to pair with Gawn. Meek seems fairly safe, not expecting the world from him but if he goes at 90+ he will make some handy cash and be a stepping stone to a genuine premium ruck.

So yeah, honestly if there were more obvious trading options I doubt as many people would be trading Grundy but to have a better team for this round and to either nab a premium (English/Marshall) or a big money maker (Meek) actually makes sense, to me at least.

Weighing him against Holmes... or Roughieing Newcombe lol. Yeah, the concern is that JHF has to share points with Rozee, Butters, Wines, Drew, even Boak.

I'm actually hoping for a 100+ average from here though, so an M8/9 keeper, rather than a stepping stone. Maybe asking too much from a sub $500k pick.

He had the most CBA's round 1 when all the boys were playing BUT Drew seems to be in ripping form and may eat into his CBA's

I really want to take the risk because you don't get anywhere in this game not taking risks

Grundy also has the R12 bye.

So in the next 8 rounds he misses 2 and Roma misses none.

I'm about to write an essay brothers I need some help.

I'm ranked around 4k and have 300k in the bank so I'm in a really good spot but i have no idea what to do here.

I have so many options its overwhelming.

Problems that I have: Grundy, Fyfe in the middle instead of forward line, Howes and Berry may lose cash this week (Berry most likely to lose cash), D'Ambrosio capping out soon.

Targets down back: Houston & Ryan
Targets in the middle: any 4 of Serong, Green, Petracca, Libba, Butters
Ruck: English
Forward: ?????????

Options I've considered
1) Grundy > English
Upside: I get English.
Downside: No rookies off the field Berry & Howes probably lose cash this week.

2) Howes > NWM/Young
Upside: Lets me loop Zilliams/Massimo, gets a rookie off the field.
Downside: Berry going to lose cash, NWM/Young aren't guaranteed top 6 defenders, backline could be weak later in the year with Yeo + one of them.

3) Grundy > Meek
Howes > Ryan/Houston.
Upside: Get what's likely a top 6 defender in & an extra score this week, can lopp Massimo & Williams.
Downside: Berry going to lose cash, I'm going to have to upgrade Meek later in the year anyway and I'm burning through trades. I probably would grab Houston as Ryan is a bit overvalued right now and Houston is undervalued.

4) Berry > Zorko
Upside: Zorko is a POD, likely a top 6 forward if he stays at HBF.
Downside: I have to play rookie roulette with Reid/Dempsey/Darcy. Zorko doesn't inspire a shitload of confidence in me.

5)Berry > JHF (via Fyfe/Wilson up forward)
Upside: Loads of value presented with JHF.
Downside: Either playing rookie roulette in the middle with one of Roberts/Mckercher/Sanders missing, or playing it up forward with Reid/Dempsey/Darcy. JHF likely isn't going to be a top 8 mid, and I already have Crouch for my m8 role

6) Grundy > Meek
Berry > Any premo mid I don't have
Upside: Get a guaranteed mid keeper... leaning towards Tom Green or Libba
Downside: Going to have to upgrade Meek later. Kills my entire bank. Same rookie roulette problem.

Am I missing any options? What would you do?

It's a triple Gold Coast Treat this week:

Howes > Clohesy
J Clark > Graham
Jordon > Flanders

Trading out Grundy is crazy talk when there's so many more holes left to fill.
could wait a week on the howes trade? save the boost?
